General Commentary and Game Overview
After 4 years is the full version of Toad Strikes Back finaly here, it is the best game i ever played at mfgg, i loved every secund of it, in my opinion whas this game worth the 4 year long waiting, even if this took 7 years would this still be worth than waiting at, it has than great gameplay colorfull graphic good choice of music and it don't get boring fast, when i first have begin to play is it hard to stop.

And the large size make some fun to, there are over 50 levels i enjoyet every one of them, there are not much glitches either, there are only one glitch i dislike, the only other thing as i dislike than little bit are midis. I whas than big fan of the demo and even as fan of the demo did this impressed somethings are even better than i exepted they would be, not everything, i liked the new lobby system in it, that did surprise, in the lobby system can you talk to people, and they differen subjet every world, i really liked that idea.

This game gave me the feeling to play than real Mario game just with Toad as the hero, in my opinion have this game almost the same quality as than real Mario game, and i have many good ideas, and it have than good bland of classic Mario gameplays like vegetar from smb2 basic platformor from other smb game and much more, blend into to than Toad adventure.

It has nice challenge to, hard first time you play it but when you just have done them can you play it over and over again, this is possible the largest game i ever played at mfgg, it have almost the same size as than real Mario game in old days yes even bigger than some of them.

In my opinion this is the best fangame as ever made at mfgg.

Impressions
Gameplay
10 / 10
The gameplay is exelent, it have much challenge and almost no glitches, the only gith i don't like are if yoshi swallow something when you go inside the pipe dose you freeze there, there are not so many places that can happend so thet dose not acctualy break the game, the only glitches without that is usual glitches like thing go inside the wall and thing like that, nothing as break the gameplay.

There not powerups in this game, instand powerups dose you use items, there are three items, the first item is the fire flower, with that can you shoot fireballs, the next item are the hammer with hammer can you break things like bricks and you can kill enemies as the fireballs don't can kill and the last item are yoshi with yoshi can you swallow enemies and jump at enemies like piranha with than hold the jump button, all the items use the same way as powerupp and if you die dose you loose them.

It has the pretty good challenge, you can have maximum 5 health point, by collect than red mursoom dose you get full healt, and by than collect small red murshooms dose you get one healt, the settings are good to, every time when there is comming something very hard is there than red mursoom, the levels have than check point so there are limit about what you must do over again if you die, and every time you go down than pipe and get to than new area dose you get than check point, the challenge is very hard first time you try them but when you first have done them is there not long time before they become easy, and in every level is ther than star coin, i will say the challenge i pretty good.

The game contains allot of fun, there are than lobby system where you can select level, and by than complete every level dose you open the boss stage, you can select what level you whanna do first and what level you whana do after that, the only level you can't select when you whanna do is the boss level, and without the levels are the one minigame and one bonus level, very much to play some levels have more intresting ideas then other.

The gameplay is exelent mixed, it is than combination of smb2, yi, usual platformer even stuffs from DK 94, like in smb2 is there vegeter you must pic up and throw at the enemie, and it have the usual platformer from other Mario games, and the bosses is based at yi, and some challenge is based of DK 94 and some other stuffs, very good mix all that is mixed into than Toad game it seems to work very well, exelent comination of classic gameplays.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
It is beautifull, it is exelent mixed it have smas,yi,smw,custom and some other awesome styles everything seems be edited into one style and fit exelent no clash so far as i could se.

The bakground are exelent, it have bakgrounds from yi,smw and other good stuffs, every bakground seems to fit nice, no clah so far as i could se, they are very colorfull to, some of the bakgrounds are more used than other, but i whanna say this are very nice used, some of the bakgrounds have even stuffs from more than one Mario game, and it seems to work well.

The colors are awesome, it looks like everythintg are recolored to look more colorfull and it works well, there is no colorclash so far as i could se all the colors seems to have the same bright, it is not to dark, it is pretty bright not to bright the colors are beautiful.

The sprites looks nice to, Toad is from smb3 just with animation, the goomba, koopa piranha plant is the mega enemies from smb3 and it have some enemies from other game, mostly of the sprites are custom, all the sprites looks nice no bad quality so far as i could se, they seems to work well together no sprite clash or something like that, and if you collect than coin from than vegetar or ? block is it red, the sprites seems to go exelent with the bakgrounds.
 
Sound
8 / 10
This is not fully so good as rest of the game, midis from vgmusic, it have than very good choice of music at mostly, mostly of the musics are remixes, the voerworld music are only than averange midi of the overworld theme in smas smb1, and the cave music are than remixe of the cave theme, some musics are better than other, i liked best the remixes but i liked the ripped to, there are no musics i direct dislike.

The sound effexts are not bad, Toad have than voice sound effect, and some of the sound effects are used pretty nice, it is very rich of sound effects, all the effects seems to fit nice with the graphic and that as happend when it come, some of the sound effects are even better than in the real game.
 
Replay
10 / 10
It is large and fun, i must play some times before i have complete it, every level have than murshoom coin so many of the levels must you play more than one time before you have complete it, every world have than bonus level, and many of the levels have some intresting idea as make you want return to them, yes even after you have completed all the levels and the murshoom coins are there still fun in it.
 
Final Words
10 / 10
After 4 years it is finally here, the full verision of Toad Strikes Back, and it is exelent, can't be better

I disagree with one of your pros, they are not large levels, at least most of them aren't. stardust had large levels, this one just has a lot. good bosses though, I do agree.
