General Commentary and Game Overview
Actually, this game was enjoyable to play. It seems difficult at first, but once you take unexpected risks, it is not so bad. After a while though, it becomes to predictable, except for the ending, which is ironically easier.
 
Pros It was nice to have a variety of levels, instead of abusing the grass land level throughout the game. Have it been one of the earlier fangames, it would be considered to have more than plenty of levels to play with. Moreover, the midis and graphics seemed to help enhance the game.
 
Cons The introduction to the game was longer than it should have been. If it were not for knowing the passwords, it would not have able to been skipped. Also, if there were going to be a storyline, there should have been more constructive elements, such as mysteries, artifacts, or history on the events before the game. Also, the final boss was not the best choice to utilize.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
The levels were fun to jump through, and I was able to see a variety of monsters. As mentioned earlier, you had to take risks, you would usually not do in other games. For example, most games do not allow you to jump AND use the hammer at the same time. In this game you could, and it helps a lot. The only problem with the game, is that tne levels and bosses tend to lack challenge.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
Even though the backgrounds and tilesets were not the best ones I have ever seen, they are incredible to look at. The sprites did not look so proffesional, but at least a decent custom one.
 
Sound
8 / 10
The midis you used in the games fit in very well. In fact, you chose midis, which differ from what others normally use. However, the one in the desert could have used some better notes. Furthermore, the sound effects were able to blend in with how Mario was performing his actions.
 
Replay
3 / 10
This game is a fairly well constructed game, however, I would not play it again, unless I literally have nothing better to do. Besides, the game seems too easy.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
As a retro fangame, this is overall an enjoyable game to play through, and it had a variety of levels to choose from. Because it is to easy to figure out, provided that you take unexpected risks, I would not recommend replaying this game.
