Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker adds new challenges in Special Episode DLC
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker added a free co-op mode back in February, but Nintendo isn't done adding content to the puzzle-platformer. The Special Episode DLC, which will run you $5.99 on the eShop, adds 18 new challenges and five new courses. If you pre-purchased the DLC on the eShop you will have early access to Shifty Shrine, the first of the new levels. The rest of the DLC pack will roll out tomorrow.
I really enjoyed Captain Toad when I reviewed it on Wii U, but that was an uncomfortably brief 5 years ago. I haven't picked it up on Switch yet, as I've heard mixed things about how it controls; some of my friends think this game is one of the few that actually worked better with Wii U's two-screen setup. Maybe if Nintendo keeps adding content, I'll give this one another go.
