General Commentary and Game Overview
This game is extremely promising, and i really appreciate your effort in this game. The game does have some bugs and a number of flaws, but heck, it has a ton of soul into it. It's really enjoyable to play through. It has a classic MFGG vibe to it with this blend of SMAS and SMW graphics and the use of MIDI music, but not in a bad or outdated way.
 
Pros Great graphics and presentation (except for the blinear filter).
The level design is really good.
Great MIDI music.
 
Cons Slow and slippery controls.
The game has a blinear filter.
You can't remap the controls.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
 The controls are a bit slippery and slow. They aren't hard to get used to, though. The jumping is pretty rough, if you release the key mid-jump, Mario's Y speed stops abruptly, and while this happens in the Mega Man games, it's not really suited for a platformer like Mario. Whenever you hit a message block, you have to press P. Also, you can't remap the controls and change the keys. You have to stick to using A to jump and S to run. You could add it as a option in the menu bar.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
 The graphics look amazing. You picked many sprites from Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars, and they blend really well into the game. However, there's the infamous blinear filter which i really dislike. It looks all muddy, and i really would like to see the game without this horrible filter around it. You could try making it an option in the menu bar as well. Despite this, i loved it.
 
Sound
9 / 10
 The MIDI music sounds amazing and really faithful to the original songs. You probably sequenced them since i never heard these renditions before.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
 Needs some improvement, but it's a great game overall.
