|latest_appearance=''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' ([[List of games by date#2023|2023]])

Captain Toad reappears under his current name in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. He is seen in some courses throughout the game, known as [[Captain Toad's Adventures]]. These courses are composed of puzzle-based stages, where the goal is to obtain all five [[Green Star]]s using Captain Toad, who is the only playable character. Aside from walking, he is not able to perform any special moves, even [[jumping]]. Instead, the player must rely on the different elements and obstacles within the course to progress, such as timed platforms which propel Captain Toad into the air instead of jumping. His headlamp can still defeat Boos and other ghost-like enemies, but instead of defeating them instantly, he will defeat them after stunning them. In the original game, the player uses the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] to move Captain Toad around the stage. He starts in his [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]], and will shrink if he is damaged (his cap and spots will also switch colors). The music that plays in most of these levels is an extended variation of his theme in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. In the Nintendo Switch port, the Toad Brigade members will act as the other playable characters in the multiplayer mode of Captain Toad's Adventures. They have the same powers as Captain Toad.

While Captain Toad himself does not make an actual appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', a Captain Toad [[Costume Mario|costume]] came out on December 25, 2015, unlocked via completing the Event Course [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (level)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]. Though Captain Toad is able to jump here, this level is created so that it can be completed without jumping. Also, the [[Toad]] [[amiibo]] allows Mario to gain a costume akin to the [[Pixel Toad]] sprite from ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. Additionally, when Mario rescues a Toad while wearing the Toad costume, the Toad will say "Ah, Captain! It's terrible! Princess Peach has been taken to another castle!" likely referencing Captain Toad.

Captain Toad makes his physical debut in a 2D game in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Like in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', he is found in hidden areas of the world, rewarding the player with 50 [[flower coin]]s for speaking with him. Regardless of which playable character interacts with Captain Toad upon his first encounter, he does not recognize them and remarks that this is their first time meeting.

 

 

Captain Toad is featured in the respective volumes of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga that cover the stories of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. While Captain Toad's design remains the same as his in-game one in most of his appearances, in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 49|volume 49]] he is drawn with a toothbrush mustache.
