Toadette Strikes, also known as Toad Strikes Back 2, is Thunder Dragon's sequel to his critically-acclaimed Toad Strikes Back and his first fangame since Psycho Waluigi. The game stars Toadette instead of Toad and adds a brand-new story and new features such as Yoshi. The first demo was released for NCFC in 2013, and as of summer 2014, the full game was released in 2015.

The final version was released on January 23, 2015, and was considered by many to be the best fangame ever to appear on MFGG.

Thunder Dragon intends for TSB2 to be his final fangame, but he plans to continue making indie games that draw inspiration from the classic Mario and Yoshi games.

Story

The mushroom kingdom was a land of peace and harmony. Its citizens, the Toads, enjoyed life without any cares to be had.
 
However, somebody thought the kingdom wasn't quite peaceful enough...
 
One day, an eerie chill crept through the air. One by one, many Toads began to fall into a deep wakeless slumber.
 
Who could be behind such dark magic? Well, there was a certain order of monsters long jealous of the Toads' carefree lives - the Koopa Clan!
 
With the citizens showing no signs of walking, the monsters were free to wreak all the havoc and perform all the kidnappings they could ever want!
 
Could nothing be done to stop them?!
 
In a small town on the edge of the kingdom, one young citizen recalls the old legend of "Super Mario." It tells of a great hero.
 
One who would rise up from obscurity in the Mushroom Kingdom's time of need, and face the music, head on!

Reception

Reviews for Toadette Strikes have been almost universally favorable. They praised the graphics and the unique level gimmicks, but VinnyVideo criticized the fact that the game can beaten too quickly (if you don't go for the Mushroom Medals) and Q-Nova thinks that the Light Blue Yoshi can be a little hard to control. The game won a Game of the Month award for November 2013, and another Game of the Month award for January 2015.
