Captain Toad is seen in a series of courses throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' known as [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]]. These courses are composed of a puzzle-based stage, where the goal is to obtain all five [[Green Star]]s using Captain Toad, who is the only playable character. This is also the first time he is playable in the series. Also, he wears a new uniform. Asides from walking, he is not able to perform any special moves, such as [[Jump]], [[Roll]], etc., most likely due to his heavy backpack which weighs him down. 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 is also capable of stunning ghost like enemies, such as [[Boo]]s. The player uses the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] to move Captain Toad around the stage. He starts off in his [[Super Mario|Super form]], and will shrink if he is damaged (his cap and spots will also switch colors). The music that plays in these levels is an extended variation of his theme in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. | Captain Toad is seen in a series of courses throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' known as [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]].

Captain Toad also makes an appearance in some of the normal courses of the game. In some instances, he will be in danger. If the player rescues him, Captain Toad will award a Green Star. He also appears as the conductor of the [[Coin Express]] train of World 5. In [[Tricky Trapeze Theater]] of the same world, he is seen in a hidden area after a trapeze and a [[Clear Pipe]] by a [[Roulette Block]]. His last appearance is at the end of [[Champion's Road]], as he can be seen cheering in the crowd. | Captain Toad also makes an appearance in some of the normal courses of the game.

His cowardice often leads to his fellow Toad Brigade members sometimes talk negatively about the Captain behind his back. In addition, the captain also tends to be accident-prone and as a result often lands himself into danger. Captain Toad can also seen to be lazy as he can be seen daydreaming about relaxing in various galaxies. Despite his tendency to land himself into trouble, Captain Toad appears to be extremely quick at making tall-tales in order to make himself appear braver than he truly is to the rest of his brigade members. | ||
Regardless of his negative traits, Captain Toad is seen to be highly resourceful in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' titles. He (or at least one of his brigaders) is seen to be a highly experienced mechanic as he was able to repair the [[Starshroom]] that he and the other Toad Brigade members used every time it broke.

He also rewards [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] with coins to replenish health and even power-ups. Captain Toad does occasionally find [[Power Star]]s himself; however, he is always ready to give it to either Mario or Luigi in an attempt to help the hero in his adventures as well as for the cause of saving the universe. | ||
Captain Toad is described to being the "fearless" hunter of Green Stars within ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and proves this title by being on a constant hunt for the exclusive stars despite lacking the ability to jump (as a result of his heavy backpack.) Regardless, he maintains his gracious character from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and constantly rewards Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Rosalina]] with Green Stars or even [[coin]]s and [[Power-Up]]s when encountered. | Captain Toad is described to being the "fearless" hunter of Green Stars within ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and proves this title by being on a constant hunt for the exclusive stars despite lacking the ability to jump (as a result of his heavy backpack.)

Going along with the common frightful characteristic of the Toads, Captain Toad is no exception as he can be seen to be panicking in a comical sense from various enemies throughout most of the main game courses (often requiring one of the other playable characters to help him out). | Going along with the common frightful characteristic of the Toads, Captain Toad is no exception as he can be seen to be panicking in a comical sense from various enemies throughout most of the main game courses (often requiring one of the other playable characters to help him out). | ||

Upon the release of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the [[Prima Games]] guide stated that the Toad Brigade leader was the main [[Toad]] character, using Toad's artwork as his. Due to his similarities to the aforementioned character, confusion arose between the two characters when it was stated that Captain Toad was the same Toad as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. However, it has since been confirmed that Toad and Captain Toad are not the same character.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20170202063331/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHhqTRtYFw Comment on Miiverse] as part of an interview with producer [[Koichi Hayashida]] (posted December 6, 2014).
