Each level is contained in a small environment, requiring the player to solve puzzles or complete platforming challenges to complete the level in a linear fashion. By using the thumbsticks or motion sensors on the Wii U GamePad, the player can rotate the diorama-like level to different orientations, revealing new paths and parts of the environment. The GamePad can also be used to interact with the environment in some levels, such as using the touchscreen to move platforms, blowing into the built-in microphone to move moving platforms, and using the motion controls to aim and throw objects at enemies. The player has two hitpoints that can be lost by being hit by enemies. If the second hitpoint is lost, the player must restart the level. However, if all lives are lost, the game is over. Mushrooms are hidden in levels that will restore a lost hitpoint when collected.
Collectibles are hidden in each level, and once a level is beat it can be completed with special conditions, such as completing the level without taking damage. When a Toad Amiibo is scanned the player is put into a random level and tasked with finding a hidden pixel art of Toad. In the Nintendo Switch port, the hide-and-seek pixel Toad challenges do not require a Toad Amiibo to play. The re-release for the Nintendo Switch in included co-op multiplayer; the second player controls a pointer that can interact with enemies and toss turnips. Additional Amiibo released featuring Super Mario Odyssey characters were also released and compatible with the Nintendo Switch version that unlock four bonus levels based on locations found within Odyssey. The levels can be unlocked by scanning the Amiibo or are made available after completing the game. 18 additional levels were also released the following year as paid downloadable content (DLC). With the removal of the Wii U GamePad the Nintendo Switch still retained some of its features when being used portably; if the player is playing Treasure Tracker while docked, a cursor will appear on the screen that the player controls using motion controls.
The game opens with Captain Toad and Toadette ascending a tower together to claim a star. The villainous giant crow Wingo appears and steals the star, taking Toadette along with him when she grabs hold of it. The player guides Captain Toad as he tracks Wingo down to his lair and rescues Toadette. Each following chapter sees one of the two captured, and the player controls the other Toad on their way to save them. In the final scene of the game, they defeat Wingo, and the introduction to Super Mario 3D World plays out, and Captain Toad is seen following a falling star into the glass pipe. For the Switch/3DS versions, the final scene shows Captain Toad following the Odyssey.
Each level was designed to be its own unique environment with a linear path to completion. The developers wanted camera control to be required to teach new players or those unfamiliar with the concept to use it, both in Treasure Tracker and other future Nintendo games. Small tunnels and pillars were used to emphasize camera rotation. A camera alternative where the player viewed the game in first-person was explored but was too complex to include. At the start of development the team designed 100 levels and played through them together. One of their first problems was stale gameplay; since the game lacked jumping they relied on only walking, which became repetitive. To fix this they added a second mechanic, plucking, where Captain Toad could pull items from the ground and interact with objects in the environment. With the addition of plucking they were able to diversify the level mechanics. To make the level selection less overwhelming for the player, the levels were split into three groups called "episodes" that increased in difficulty. Bonus challenges and collectibles were added to give an additional challenge for more experienced players, and a time limit wasn't included so less experienced players could have however much time is needed to solve the puzzles. Various level designs were inspired by Arabian Nights.
The game was re-released to other Nintendo consoles to reach a larger audience of players. The original plan was to release the game for the Nintendo 3DS only, because its stereoscopic 3D effect would better show the level's dimensions. While developing the Nintendo 3DS version Nintendo was also developing the 2017 video game Super Mario Odyssey, where they found that many players enjoyed playing together with separate Joy-Con controllers. Because of this, they also decided to make release the game for the Nintendo Switch, including co-op multiplayer. The re-release was announced for both consoles via Nintendo Direct on March 10, 2018. The Nintendo Switch announcement also highlighted the new multiplayer, as well as additional levels themed after Super Mario Odyssey. Both versions released worldwide July 10, 2018. Paid DLC for the Nintendo Switch was announced in February 2019 featuring 18 new levels in five courses. The DLC released on March 14, 2019.
Critics praised the visuals, especially the small details and an emphasis on cute graphics. Curtis Bonds of Nintendo World Report applauded the game's worldbuilding as being much more larger and complex than what was present of them in 3D World. 4Players reviewer Jan Wobbeking also praised the game's detail and visual design. Fitch noted the HD visuals and how they "help Treasure Tracker tell its simple-yet-charming tale remarkably well". Electronic Gaming Monthly's Andrew Fitch in particular enjoyed Captain Toad's characterization, finding it to be a fresh change of personality from Mario, a statement echoed by Marty Sliva of IGN. Although Polygon found the plot lacking, they believed the gameplay made up for it.
Gameplay and usage of the Wii U GamePad were also generally praised. Reeves was surprised at the level of depth in the gameplay and the amount of variance that can be found in levels that don't involve jumping. Writing for GameSpot, Peter Brown enjoyed the boss battles and their evolving difficulty. Although Polygon expressed the game did not have much depth as a mainline Mario game, the gimmicks and execution were "pure Nintendo" that continuously evolved and reiterated on itself. In a more critical review, GamesRadar+ reviewer Matthew Castle criticized the gimmicks of the game for never being fully justified or explored, such as removing the ability to jump, forcing the player to use ladders instead. Ben Reeves of Game Informer praised the utilization of the Wii U GamePad, and the ways it used the touchscreen, microphone, and motion controls to make each level unique. Brown considered Treasure Tracker to be a rare example of a Wii U game best played on the Game Pad. Sliva expressed some distaste in the GamePad being used excessively, and how motion controls were always active and accidentally used when not necessary.
Some critics expressed confusion in the game's genre and overall gameplay scope. With the lack of multiple objectives in 3D World, Fitch believed the game leaned too much towards being a platformer than a puzzle game. Castle expressed similar concerns, giving mixed opinions on the gameplay that never leaned toward either direction and making the game feel experimental overall. Welsh also felt this, but considered Treasure Tracker to be a successful example of a hybrid of puzzle levels and platforming. Ultimately, he felt that the 2004 video game Mario vs. Donkey Kong achieved this better, with various staff members at Famitsu echoing the statement that any type of audience can enjoy Treasure Tracker. Fitch's main gripe with the game was that there was "just not enough of it", and lacked a noticeable increase in difficulty. Brown felt otherwise, praising the challenging collectibles and the use of backtracking to give new spins on previous levels. Although Reeves also noted the small amount of content, he praised how each level was full of depth and lacked puffery.
Wobbeking noted it would be tedious for those who need to replay missions to unlock the extra levels themed after Odyssey; Reeves cited similar frustrations. Although Reeves called the removal of the levels based on 3D World to be "bizarre", he considered the newly added levels to be a "fair exchange". Jeremy Horwitz from VentureBeat was also disappointed that the Switch version did not include levels based on 3D World. Polygon was critical of the new levels, finding the majority of them to not match the puzzle quality of those found in the original game. The inclusion of multiplayer was appreciated by critics, but criticized for being a lackluster and trivial addition. Daniel Starkey of GameSpot also criticized the multiplayer based on how gameplay roles were divided between two players, leaving the experience to be unenjoyable for both as they have equally little action. IGN's Joe Skrebels derided the multiplayer and negatively compared it to the multiplayer in Super Mario Galaxy, also criticizing the ability for the second player to defeat enemies immediately and anywhere, removing their threat to the players.
Although the graphical quality was lowered for the game to work on the 3DS, Skrebels was impressed by the port, and considered it to be one of the best-looking games released for the console. He also praised the use of 3D in the game and how they enhanced gameplay beyond the Wii U and Switch versions. Writing for Nintendo Life, Chris Scullion applauded the port for replicating the use of the Wii U GamePad by putting its interactive features on the second screen, but criticized the graphics for their jagged appearance and being difficult to discern when zoomed out. Nintendo World Report also positively received the control scheme, especially how one hand could be used to control Captain Toad and the other to control the camera with the stylus.
The 2021 CESA Games White Papers revealed that the Wii U version has sold a total of 1.37 million units as of December 31, 2020, also making it one of the best-selling games on the Wii U. The Switch and 3DS ports of the game sold 108,698 and 42,818 physical copies respectively during their first two months on sale in Japan. As of March 31, 2019, the Switch port has sold 240,000 copies in Japan, and 1.18 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling games on the system. It also revealed that the Switch version has sold a total of 1.77 million units, as of December 31, 2020. The 2023 CESA Games White Papers revealed that the Switch version of the game have sold 2.35 million copies as of December 31, 2022.
