Crowbar Toss was a fad started by Nite Shadow. During the pre-discussion before Minigame Competition #9, the MFGG message box wasn't working properly; it was displaying posts other than the first one in the topic. This got so annoying that Nite Shadow made a small game. He called it "Crowbar Toss." Soon Roo, DJ Yoshiman, Miles, and Genogenesis7 made their own crowbar games. They were all made in MMF2.

Crowbar Toss
Crowbar Toss was the original crowbar game that started it all, created by Nite Shadow. In it, the player uses the mouse to throw crowbars at the message box, causing holes to appear. A few MFGGers decided to make designs with the holes. (For example, writing their name.)
Crowbar Toss 3000 Turbo HD Director's Cut
Crowbar Toss 3000 Turbo HD Director's Cut was the second crowbar game, created by Roo. In it the player adjusts the angle of a throw to make the thrown crowbar hit a person. It is different because it's the only one not to involve the message box; Miles and Nite Shadow claimed that Roo "missed the point" because of this. Roo responded with a DELUXE version, where the original target object was replaced with the text box.
Screw You Title Boxes
Screw You Title Boxes was the third crowbar game, created by DJ Yoshiman. Instead of throwing it, this one involves whacking the message box with a crowbar. In this one, you can actually destroy the message box if you hit it enough times. It also uses the message box from the NSMB skin rather than the normal one.
Robuttnik v.s. The MGC Box
Robuttnik v.s. The MGC Box was the fourth crowbar game, created by Miles. The player's objective was to shoot at falling crowbars in an attempt to make them hit the MGC preview box. After 10 hits the MGC preview box would be defeated. The MGC preview box fights back, shooting projectiles at you. Getting hit three times would result in "Robuttnik" giving up.
Crowbar Strikes Back
Crowbar Strikes Back was the fifth and final crowbar game, created by Genogenesis7. It is an edit of the MMF2 chocobreak tutorial, and is extremely frustrating and difficult due to the fact that the crowbar sometimes bounces at weird angles.
Trivia
- According to Genogenesis7, the name was intended to be a spoof of Toad Strikes Back.
Crowbar Collection
On October 29th, 2011, Genogenesis7 released a compilation of all 5 crowbar games, along with a note from the creator of each game, calling it "Crowbar Collection."
Demise
Soon afterwards, after the Crowbar submissions had glorified up the Minigame Competition topic, Black Squirrel got upset and claimed that there was posting merely for the sake of posting, and he disliked it. He deleted anything that had to do with Crobar Toss in the thread.
