this is the game that started it all and that's already a big plus for it. the game itself has a lot of flaws that are very frustrating at times. well and that is what fangames used to be about - frustrate the hell out of the players. overall this game still felt nice to play just to see where everything began.
nowadays this game obviously falls behind the newer ones in fact of visuals/leveldesign and pretty much everything you can think of. overall still a fun game in my opinion just because of the huge nostalgic feeling you get from playing it

This was the very first fangame i ever played, i was around 11 years old i think. Now in college and after playing multiple fangames over the years i went back and gave this a play-through not too long ago.

Story

This fangame has four sections. The up section with the infamous "apples that dont fall up" the clouds, Mike tyson boss, Mecha birdo boss, and so on needle yada Dracula. The down section sports a disappearing and reappearing platforming maze that leads to Bowser boss with a descent up, and a mother brain boss that leads to more platforming. There is also a path to the left that features a kirby chase section and the Kraidgief boss. After defeating all 6 bosses you unlock the 4th path. The minecart segment with the devil dragon boss. After his defeat you move to The Guy's Castle. a pretty nice segment of platforming, a maze, traps galore, and the infamous tower elevator with the final boss. The guy, your father. Upon defeating your given credits and one last speratic trap.


Traits
This has a bit of everything youll see in fangames now a days.
1. Trap-galore. there are numerous traps that are somewhat clever, some made me laugh like the falling moon or the sinking clouds. Not too many random falling obstacles.
2. Needle. if you want to consider the rooms like in the factory with the slow moving platforms or rooms like the secret item room in Kirby area.
3. Adventure-esque. you can backtrack and youll need to, there are 6 bosses to kill in any order you want until you reach the final area.

Gameplay
This fangame is fun to play, youre always on your toes for traps and the platforming is merciful, the bosses are a mix. There is usually never a moment when your stuck on a save for more than an hour or two. Be wary of the engine though, its much different from other fangames and it has a fetish of crashing.

Bosses

Mike Tyson - punches and does a thing where the locks go die. Shoot 15 times and hes dead
Mecha Birdo - pretty cool boss actually, has you jumping on missles and shooting this bitch in the antenna, eyes, and mouth. The shy guys are annoying and the 3rd phase missles are fuck.
Dracula - rng mayhem, youll be stuck on it for a while and honestly, this feels like the worst boss.
Mother Brain - spam spam spam avoid rng and pattern bullets. on very hard you do a chase without a save
Bowser trio - tedious, you have to watch a stupid cutscene every intro and theyre all easy. The final phase can sometimes be tricky to newcomers
Kraidgief - mediocre, i dont have much to say about this one.
Devil Dragon - fly, barrage, move right, barrage, move left, barrage, move right, run left. okay boss.
The Guy - The final boss, has a first phase with barrages and a 2nd phase thats somewhat intense.


Overall
I Used to think this fangame was perfectly average, and it still kinda is. the designs were good for its time but now we have better, the bosses are mediocre but the traps bring the rating up. The good outshines the bad but the bad is clearly visible. Its a fangame that shouldn't really be seen as a fangame, but instead a novelty. This is what started it all, only play it if you want to know how it started, dont play it if you want to play a good fangame.

I owe everything to the existence of this game but I'm still removing one morbillion score for the pain in the ass that was playing the game while it kept crashing.

My first I wanna and I'm glad it's this one.
IWBTG is the first I wanna and it's still for me a classic. People are really too hard with it and despite some evident flaws, I really love it so thank you Kayin for being the starter of all this shit, you changed my life forever.
