Captain Toad is a different character than regular Toad.

Toad is a follower, CT isn't.

Toad can jump, CT can't.

Captain Toad could be able to jump. The only reason he doesn't in his appearances is because of his heavy backpack. For all we know, he could be the world's most powerful Mario character without it weighing him down.

This is correct, it's much like how Goku trains in weighted clothing to accentuate his strength.

I am disturbed to find out that the mushroom is part of his skull rather than simply a neat hat. Was this already known and I was just blissfully unaware?

No Caption Provided

Toad's mushroom...head...thing...is just a hat. For the sake of all that is good and right in the world, I hereby declare this video game to be non-canon.

What happens to the cursor when in handheld mode?

I played the demo in handheld mode, so it might be different in the full game, but there was no cursor. You use the touchscreen to move objects etc.

The cursor on the screen absolutely ruins it for me.

It doesn't have it in portable mode, if that helps

Ah rite, that does actually, so thanks for that.

@dasakamov: the idea that DIC Entertainment in the 1980s have more ownership over Nintendo canon than .. Nintendo, is a very bold take !

it's the mushroom kingdom! there's weird turtle monsters everywhere. and some of them stand up right and throw hammers at you. some of them ride smiling flying clouds (literally with a smiling face on them) and drop these weird red shell monster things with spikes on them at you. and the monsters have this evil overlord which is essentially a giant turtle that lives in a castle filled with lava and the turtle monster can breathe fire and also throw hammers.

the mushroom people are exactly that. they're people made of mushroom.

in the context of that DIC Entertainment cartoon, i'm pretty sure it was just a visual gag anyway more than anything, anyway.

the mushroom people are mushrooms !!!

You must be a real fungi at parties.

On another note; I really hope they do competitive Treasure Tracker on a playdate at some point.
