<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/captain-toad-treasure-tracker/">Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker</a>'s first DLC pack is out now on <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/nintendo-switch/">Nintendo Switch</a>.

It should be noted, however, that the DLC is not coming to the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/3ds/">3DS</a> or <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/wii-u/">Wii U</a> versions of Treasure Tracker.</p><p dir="ltr">The paid DLC pack follows a free Captain Toad update in February that added co-op and one new stage ahead of time.

"Despite a smattering of minor complaints, Captain Toad stands as a pint-sized version of Nintendo's stellar first party pedigree," he said. "It's among the best Mario spin-offs around and a delightful iteration on old ideas.</p><p dir="ltr">"The sharper screen on the Switch and addition of about a dozen new areas and modes make this version a strictly better choice, and the short, relatively simple stages of Captain Toad lend themselves to a portable environment. Of course, it also carries with it the weaknesses of its forebear. Even with the bonus content, Treasure Tracker is a bit short. You're left with the sense that there could be plenty more and that the idea of rotating through levels doesn't get its full due."</p>
