Favorite iteration of Clickteam?

[Q-Nova]

I have no doubt that SME2 started development possibly in CNC! That would explain the file description, as in Clickteam products this was always a default field that auto-populated based on where the file begun development in. Since Clickteam products are always backwards compatible with each other, I would not be surprised if Jeff begun in CNC and finished in MMF1.5 (it allegedly took him a solid year or two to make SME2, so this would track with the time period). Of course, Jeff could always say something that could contradict this, I don't know! It would be quite amusing if a game I always took as being made in the venerable Multimedia Fusion 1.5 was actually successfully hocked up in what was essentially The Games Factory 1.5, haha

So, the file description describes the program the game started with, even if it's exported by a different program? That's new to me. According to the MFGG Wiki article for Super Mario Epic 2 (largely written by Jeff Silvers himself), the game started in TGF and then moved over to Multimedia Fusion Express (CNC as you know). Maybe you misread that as MMF1.5?

Also, Click Extract's level viewer works fine with SME2. I tried using it with a MMF1.5 file, and it threw up a bunch of error messages before closing, so I don't think the program is compatible with MMF1.5 games (at least not for the level viewer).

As far as the Toad Strikes Back demos, you got me there. The v3 demo wasn't well-known until recently, and I think I might know who found out where to download that! So to your credit, some of your historical research actually was able to come back up in an interesting context! Yeah, TD definitely strikes me as one of the people on MFGG who probably hopped between all of the Clickteam products, most likely.

I got the v3 demo from the Wayback Machine. I looked at an old timestamp for the MFGG main site, looked at Toad Strikes Back, and was glad to find out that the download has been archived!
