The iconic run the marathon is a game that everyone seems to love and it's easy to see why. Excellent level design and neat visuals make it great to play and to watch. Almost every world are excellent and same for bosses, I personnaly have a crush for the pokemon world.
But if I didn't gave it a 10, it's because I think the game has a few flaws : megaman and cave story bosses are really annoying to fight, and the kirby world is a mixed bag. The joke is super funny at the beginning and it's pleasant to play as long as it's still easy, but when it becomes more difficult it quickly becomes irritating and the last room is hell.
Otherwise, this is a excellent game with gimmicks you want to see more often and even if I prefer warp the world, to take kurath words, I truly believe that this game should be the front page of the community.

It's a really good and well made fangame that I would recommend to anyone vying to play an all time classic of fangaming. The platforming is well rounded and enjoyable and while the golf section can split people I personally find it really charming and funny. My favorite area is the pokemon area.

Very interesting and nicely done fangame. Pixel perfect gravity, well made visuals and unique gimmicks (my favourite one being the golf stage). While the last stage is difficult, making it unfitting when compared to the rest of the game, it's very fun for a beginner like myself. The boss battles are interesting and barely RNG based, however I did find the Pokemon stage strange since the battles can have either really easy or not very easy attacks. The platforming is never dull or unbalanced - it's actually almost perfect if you ignore a few parts (for instance, the Mario stage has parts that get hard).

Now let's talk about the first stage: It's probably my least favourite one. It has way too many cheap traps, and while it did get a chuckle out of me a few times, it's quite annoying. The design for the stage is quite dull and just has the usual grass and dirt look to it with apples and platforms. The stage is bad - however the boss is still great and has an interesting concept where the green apple heals the boss.

Also, the story seems a little bit forced at parts and is quite boring to listen to. It's quite generic and doesn't have any explanation at all - you just have an evil dark version of yourself that sends you to weird worlds for no reason.

Ignoring all the bad things - the fangame is really good and I recommend it for beginners, the last stage being an exception.

Really, really fun game. There are lots of variety, and each were made very well. Especially I loved the pokemon stage and last original stage. Really good job!
