For the upcoming Switch and 3DS versions of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Nintendo has included a few new levels based on Super Mario Odyssey. It turns out that they can be accessed immediately, but you’ll need amiibo to do it.
If you have any of the Super Mario Odyssey amiibo, you can scan them to unlock these stages right away. It works with the wedding figures for Mario, Peach, and Bowser. Don’t have amiibo? You can still access the courses – just by going through the game normally.
As for other amiibo, if you have a Toad figure, you can use it to obtain an Invincibility Mushroom. All other amiibo provide a 1-Up Mushroom.

The movie is likely early on in production, so it makes sense that details surrounding it are mostly unknown. But Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime did comment on the film in an interview with IGN, stating that it’s intended to appeal to Mario fans as well as newcomers.
