'''Toad Strikes Back''' is a [[fangame]] created by [[Thunder Dragon]], and features over 50 unique levels and gameplay. It was one of [[MFGG]]'s most anticipated games, as it's first demo was spectacular at the time of release. Unlike most [[Mario]] games, the player controls Toad, who is able to perform most of Mario's attacks from the SMB series, as well as incorparating some more into the formula.
 
  
Toad is able to pick up vegetables as well as some other ememies like in SMB2, as well as "stomp" on some like in the classic Super Mario Bros. games. It was one of the first games to incorparate vegetable throwing as well as having Yoshi, hammer and fireflower powerups available to choose.

The first demo was released to the public on [[MFGG]], while the second was available only in the FreakZone Games forum and referenced several other games such as ''[[Super Mario Alpha]]''.
  
Two demos were released, a public one available on MFGG, and a FZ one only available at the Freak Zone Games forum (This version also including various references to other games, such as [[Super Mario Alpha]]). 2007's [[NCFC]] saw the release of the full version after many years of waiting, in a booth that was built off the old [[Bowser Technologies]] site simply for nostalgia - marking the first update in six years.
