I don't really know what I think about this game, there are many pros and cons. The game has 7 stages plus a final boss, here a quick individual review of each:
Reveal Spoiler
Mario : I've seen that many people don't like this stage but it wasn't my case. I really enjoyed it, the sliding gimmick was good and the white block joke hilarous. For me it was as good as it predecessors' mario stages. The boss was good without being exceptionnal, the introduction of it however was really cool.

Megaman : A great stage, the dash gimmick and the moving plateforms were well-used. The boss however was mediocre (I'm not gonna say it for each point but this is despite being very polished in visuals), with a little harsh rng, not a fan of it.

Cuphead : And here comes the first small probleme for me. The cuphead stage was a "reproduction" of the first stage of the original game...but without the dashing gimmick and I don't see the interest. Visuals are the same as the original game and I'm almost sure that some segment are the same, there are also some new segment but I didn't really had fun while playing it. The bosses however were really good, but the short length of the platforming makes this stage really short especially compared to some others.

End is nigh : Perfect, a massive pure plateforming stage with like 60 small screens and a escape autoscroll boss. Each screen is finishable quickly but with the amount of screens, you won't be disappointing. It can looks a bit out of place but I really loved it.

Runner : A strange and funny stage, if you like autorun you will probably like it. Like the previous stage, it hasn't got a boss but a final section dezoomed (yes because it was zoomed), I'm just gonna complain that the tp are a bit cringe when you take them for the first time because it demand you to instant react otherwise you're dead.

Celeste : Probably the second best stage, it has an rude taking in hand but after that it's just great. Like the two previous stage, it hasn't got a real boss but an escape one.

Metroid : And here comes the massive problem of this game. The metroid area is a GIANTIC zone you're gonna explore and be lost in. First problem : the stage is too big and too long, like wtf?! I've spent like 4.5 hours and 3 ragequits in this world. That's more that half my playtime and that's not normal, whatever for a marathon game or even for an adventure game. Second problem : this is not fun. I don't know if some people like getting lost without knowing what you must do, but that's not my case. Third problem : the long saves. Sometimes, you must pass like 5 screens, and even more, without a single save and for a marathon game this is too harsh. This stage give rise to another problem but I'm gonna talk about it in conclusion. The boss was at least average, but with a useless last phase. This part make my rating fall from something like 9 to 7.5 I think this part should have been a entire game. (edit : I'm not gonna lie, I was appraciating playing this part at the end so I rose my rating to 8)
EDIT : I recently replayed it and I can confirm that it was one of the worst fangames experience I had.

Last boss : The last stage is just the final boss, not a bad one but I wouldn't say it's good. The first phase is decent, some attacks are a bit harsh especially in second part but it's mostly enjoyable, second phase however felt really unnecessary with with some dumb RNG, uninteresting attacks and a stupid small hitbox that makes you miss some attacks.

In conclusion, this game is very unbalanced with some excellent and bad parts. But this game has a last problem :

It's of course not a bad game, but I think it could have been a lot better.

This game does many things right, as you can see in other reviews. I truly enjoyed playing the game, however, i found some parts frustrating. Few Spoilers Ahead.
Stage 1 has parts which dont work well or seem too hard. Stage 5 seems really out of place. I have no clue why it is in the game, it doesnt fit at all. Stage 6 has bad level design with the refresher placements, which forced me to use really strange methods of movement. Stage 7 probably was too long compared to everything else, however, I enjoyed it the most.
Overall, the game isnt perfect, but its still incredibly good. Besides the points I mentioned above, I really enjoyed playing everything else.

Difficulty rating assumes you've played all of the source games. Some stages might be much harder if you haven't.

I don't have much to say about this game that quof didn't say in his review already, so I'll defer to him.

I would like to note that this game looks quite nice in a way that most fangames don't, so it might be a good choice to introduce newcomers to the "genre" with.

I don't deny that this is a well made game overall. But this is unfortunately the weakest of the FM Blind race game series for me.

Following will discuss the game content:

I found some of the gimmicks to felt clunky like in Megaman X and how it forces you to use the dashing effectively. It was much for my fingers and even when using right ctrl, the clunkiness was felt as I had to press again every time I hit the ground. Doesn't help if you stop midair or water, you can't do it until you land.

But what ruined the mood for me was the Metroid Stage. It was such a slog to play through with the same loop and dragged on for way too long compared to the other stages. Even The End is Nigh, the only stage comparable in length, didn't over stay its welcome as it was simple. Metroid alone would have been a 2-3/10 unfortunately.

Regardless, if you can stomach the more abrasive parts, I think the game is decent and worth recommending. But I don't want to go through it again. It's a shame since I liked the previous two games, run the Marathon and warp the Worlds. I have yet to play stop the Simulation as of writing but I hope it gets better.

Really enjoyable game from start to finish. My favorite stage was the trap forest, which was incredibly fun to play. This game has a lot of variety, and it's really great. My biggest issue was that a couple stages were WAY too long, especially the Metroid stage which was like half the games length
