Toad Strikes Back
preview
By: Thunder Dragon [W]
Sooo, after a good couple of years of tireless work combined with tireless laziness, Toad Strikes Back is finally complete!

Take control of everyone's favorite mushroom and traverse over 50 unique levels, in an adventure that pays homage to each of Mario's classic sidescrolling adventures.

Controls:
Left and right arrow keys - move Toad.
Up and down arrow keys - look up/down, aim vegetable, enter pipes.
Shift (Fire 1) - Jump. Hold to jump higher.
Ctrl (Fire 2) - Lift/throw vegetables, use items, or hold to run faster.
Space Bar - Select item.
Backspace - Exit a stage you have already beaten.

Don't waste your time reporting bugs, because chances are I already know about them (and have for years), and are not gameplay-threatening. Just have fun with the darn thing already. ;P

(Credits are to be posted soon)
Completion: Full Game Genre: Platform
Franchise: Mario

MALMoresoProgram My first impressions were like "This game may not be bad, but it seems to be very overrated." But the further I went, the more I became convinced that it is is a wonderful game. I highly recommend everyone to play it. It's worth it, truth me! 9 / 10
smartdetective This game is a very fun game with very few flaws and has something for everyone. It deserves a 10/10. Best fangame I've ever played! 10 / 10
Chanceux It's amazing because 1 it's toad and 2 it feels like a actual mario game other then the controls. Could improve the controls a bit but yeah, good game. 9 / 10
steffire For those who want a more straight-forward approach than 'Toadette Strikes' and easier learning curve than 'Psycho Waluigi'. 9 / 10
Q-Nova As the name suggests, Toad has striked back with this great game! 10 / 10
McZaky29 Nintendo themselves couldn't have made a better platformer. Congratulations on making the perfect fangame. 10 / 10
Battle Kid This is perhaps the best game on MFGG.
Great graphics, great gameplay, and so on.
If you like Mario games then I HIGHLY reccomend this game to you!!
10 / 10
Nikacchi Toad Strikes Back is an incredibly awesome fangame. It feels new and fresh, and will inspire many MFGGers. 10 / 10
MidnaKoopa Toad Strikes Back is a fun game, plain and simple. Amazingly creative in every aspect. Not perfect, and definitely challenging, but it's MORE than worth playing. MUCH more. 9 / 10
Ludwig X Any MFGGer that hasn't played this game isn't an MFGGer yet. 10 / 10
Money THE best game on MFGG at the moment. It would be a very hard game to be better than. Try it out, and for you game makers, let this game be an example. 10/10. Congrats TD. 10 / 10
marioforever This game has been an MFGG legend. Hard work, editing sprites, finding sound, I gotta say, thank you Thunder Dragon for this great game and all your hard work. This is an exciting, epic, adventurous amazing game. Overall, the whole game is a perfect 10/10. Thunder Dragon has showed us his magic of game making. 10 / 10
ShadowLuigi64 Its an AMAZING game! This is what Dedication can do. Four years. FOUR years of dedication and hard work. It looks as perfect as a real Mario game! I bet Nintendo would be proud. 10 / 10
Towelie231 Coming to download this game is an excellent choice! How about trying it out, huh? 10 / 10
the real wart Well, after years of waiting for the full release, I downloaded it at the NCFC to see the best fangame I have ever laid my eyes one. This is a brilliant game and everyone should try this, if you hate toads, it really doesn't matter because this is a definition of a true MFGG game legend. 10/10 Congrats good sir. 10 / 10
juhis Really, One of best games in MFGG.
Download it now, or die!

Anther TSB is Too Good. 10 / 10
destructive the fox Thunder Dragon did a big game that people have been waitung for since early Mfgg. It finaly paid off good job TD 10 / 10
Hyper Kirby Fan This is a great game, but can be seen as slightly shallow by today's standards. 8 / 10
FibS It's done! It's done! Now let us eat cake and play this game and choke on the cake because it's just that goddamned amazing. I would kill to die while I was playing this (and eating cake). 10 / 10
Mr. Yoshbert Toad Strikes back is one of the greatest fangame gems of all time in MFGG. And one of the first fangames I've played starring Toad! This is DEFINITELY worth the download! Worthy of Nintendo itself! Way to go, Thunder Dragon! 10 / 10
Twistendo Thunder Dragon, you have just made one of the best fan-games in MFGG history! Congratulations! 10 / 10
shoe838 This game is worth the long download.Download it now!!! 9 / 10
Zisomek All in all, a great play. Not an eyesore like games should be, and what you should expect out of every fangame. 10 / 10
GeneralGuy We've all been waiting for this epic saga to be released in all it's glory, and now we can truely experience what I call the greatest fangame on the internet. 10 / 10
Vg Lizards After 4 years it is finally here, the full verision of Toad Strikes Back, and it is exelent, can't be better 10 / 10
Black Squirrel The three years of playing second best to Pipe Network are over. Toad Strikes Back must surely take the number one spot on MFGG. Definately the best game I've reviewed (Sorry Avi). 10 / 10
Average Score 9.7 / 10

Check your Sound settings for SW Synth, and make sure the sound settings ingame have "Music- On" (accessible through the menu bar, if it has one)

4 years!?
Who the hell is insane enough to stick 4 years in a project? My God!
Ahem... The game turned out well worth of the time that has been put into the game. It certainly feels like a real Nintendo game.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the controls. I'm a little used to hitting letter-keys (like Z,X and C).
At the moment I reached world 2, having cleared all coins in world 1 (nice extra).

4 YEARS!!! *blacks out*

Uncomfortable with the controls? virtually every game on MFGG uses Shift, Control, and the arrow keys. If they used z,x,c more people would be confused than not. I've found a few games that deviated from arrow-control-shift, but never seen even one game that used z, x, or c.

btw I'm on world 6, however I haven't fully coin-cleared any of them. what's behind the shroom-coin door? is it an extra level?

Lets see....I made it to the world 1 level selection room...and so far...the game is the best fan game I've ever seen. Its that cool. I eagerly await to play more, and I also await to see what game ThunderDragon might think of next! Seriously...ThunderDragons the bomb at making fangames.

So far this is the fourth game I played from MFGG. The other 3 were New Super Mario Kart, NSMK2 and the Koopalympics.
I guess this is the first game on MFGG I played with Ctrl, Space and Shift.
I've also played a lot of fan-games on YoYoGames and I tend to use the letter-keys in my games.

YES, it was well worth the 1.25 hours needed to download it. BEST FANGAME EVER, it's better than some real nintendo games (Namely SMB and SMB2, which were ridiculously short and not as full-featured).
