    Nintendo Switch Online members can try out another one of the system’s best games for a limited time. Until Jan. 20, subscribers can download and play the full version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for free.
    Originally released for Wii U in 2014 and later ported to Switch in 2018, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a delightful little puzzle game in which you must guide the eponymous Captain Toad around diorama-like stages to collect treasures. Each level can be rotated to give you a different vantage point and reveal previously hidden pathways and other secrets.

Join Captain Toad’s quest in #CaptainToad: Treasure Tracker! #NintendoSwitchOnline members can try the full version of the game until 1/20, 11:59pm PT!

This title is available to purchase on the #NintendoSwitch #eShop for 30% off until 1/16, 11:59 PM PT!https://t.co/ME3NMJQ51b pic.twitter.com/dX1YjYKfYP

    If you enjoy what you play during the free trial period, you can purchase the full game from the eShop for $28 until Jan. 16 — 30% off of its regular price. The game’s Special Episode DLC, which adds five brand-new courses, is also on sale during that time period.
    The free game trial is available to all Nintendo Switch Online members. An individual subscription to the base plan costs $20 per year and includes various perks such as cloud save backups, the ability to play online, and access to a library of classic NES and SNES games.
    Last October, Nintendo rolled out a premium version of the subscription service called Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack. This plan includes all of the features of the base service along with Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Happy Home Paradise DLC, as well as a library of Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 games. The latter will be adding the beloved platformer Banjo-Kazooie this month.
