General Commentary and Game Overview
Providing that I nearly finished 100 percent of this game, I came to a conclusion that the level design utilizes a lot of replay value, and thought. It's games like these that would be enjoyable to play on MFGG.
 
Pros Broad Variety of Midis
Major Replay Value
Well-Designed Tilesets
Extra Sidequests
 
Cons Levels with dissapointing atmospheres
Clashing Sprites
Some Midi Choices
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
The quality of this gameplay is the extent that has players come for more. Here are some aspects to touch on:

-Most of the levels have some difficulty, which makes it fun, and it keeps the anticipation of what is about to happen next.

-The medallions that lead to bonus levels are well-hidden, which can pose as a nuiscane; however it is not so vicious.

-Some of the Bonus levels are really dissapointing, especially the ones in the Worlds that are divisible by 3... if you know what I mean. Once of those levels looked promising, as if it presented a boss battle with a huge piranha plant, but details are best left alone.

-Playing most of the boss battles are fun, and some of them are slightly more challenging then others.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
I enjoyed your variety of tilesets, and the textures that were utilized on them. Then again, there were some graphics, which could have improved:

-The green waffle tiles

-Too much color used on some of the final levels, though plain gray would not help that necessarily

-The way the bosses were illustrated, especially the "Shy Guy".

-There could have been at least one ice level with "light blue violet" ice tiles in my opinion.

Sound
8 / 10
There is some potential, that I noticed when I heard a variety of midis. If I am not mistaken, one of the midis was actually sequenced by the creator of this game.
---------------------------
Here are some thoughts:
-I could barely make out that the midi used in the lava levels was a remix of one of Wario Land 2's midis... (most likely) That midi was pawnage!

-Other midis were suitable for the game, but seemed main-stream.

-The midis from the Yoshi games, needed some change in the chords. In other words, the "C" note was becoming monotonous.
--------------------
I was indifferent to the sound effects, but some of them seemed editted or customized. Thunder Dragon had some clever sense of creativity. :)
 
Replay
10 / 10
Out of almost all the games that I downloaded on MFGG, I would recommend replaying this again and again, whether to get ideas for levels in other fangames or entertainment value.
 
Final Words
10 / 10
Coming to download this game is an excellent choice! How about trying it out, huh?
