Nintendo has released a new update for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, bringing the game to Version 1.4.1 as of October 14, 2025. While the official patch notes are brief—mentioning only that “several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience”—community sources suggest that the update may involve more technical and security-related improvements.
According to well-known Nintendo dataminer OatmealDome, the patch could be linked to security fixes, similar to those seen in Super Mario 3D World earlier this year. Given the close relationship between both titles—Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker originally spun off from 3D World’s Captain Toad levels—it is possible that this update targets shared engine vulnerabilities or exploits. However, Nintendo has yet to provide official confirmation regarding the specific nature of the update.
