Toad Strikes Back is an extremely successful fangame by Thunder Dragon released for NCFC 2007, in a booth modelled off of that of Bowser Technologies' old site -- making Toad Strikes Back the first Bowser Technologies update in over six years.

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.


Gameplay

Prism Rock (demo v.4)

TSB fits the player into the shoes of Toad and sends him through over 50 unique levels to stop the resurrection of King Koopa (Bowser), who died several hundred years earlier along with the rest of the primary Mario cast.

Fortunately, Toad is able to perform most of Mario's old maneuvers, such as stomping, uprooting vegetables or picking up enemies, hurling fireballs, riding Yoshi, and even using the legendary hero's hammer.


Reception

Toad Strikes Back was met with reviews of mostly 9's and 10's, with an average score of 9.9. It is the second-highest rated game on MFGG, after Mario: Pipe Network, and received an award in the MFGG Awards 2007.
