Captain Toad

Captain Toad

Captain Toad is a Toad that serves as the leader of a group of Toad explorers known as the Toad Brigade. In an interview with Polygon, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker director Shinya Hiratake said "I think honestly Captain Toad is someone that doesn't really care what's going on, but when he sees treasure he's like, 'I want it!'". He is described by IGN as an "unlikely protagonist who's weighed down by a heavy backpack and a desire for treasure".
