I just played through Mega Pony, and I have to say, it was pretty good. Maybe it was just that I used to be a fan of the show and got all the references in it, but I greatly enjoyed it. The music was... eh, but I really liked some of the stages. Laughmare's stage especially, those textures are like eye candy.
The bosses were all really entertaining. They all fit with their personalities, and there wasn't one I disliked.
Well, I disliked Twilight, but she's already an overpowered Mary Sue cunt in the show so that's not anything new. She wasn't hard, but just her moves were of a much higher power level (not in damage but in what they were) than the other characters, and since her being portrayed as better than the other main characters was the reason I stopped watching the show, being reminded of it in this game didn't do it any favors. Plus her theme was the worst song in the show, a song actually about how overpowered and perfect she is.
But that's a nitpick, and one bad stage doesn't ruin the game. All the other characters were great, the Discord bosses were all good, especially Wily Stage 3's boss which took me by surprise, and Discord himself, as Llama said, was really fun to fight, although I think a little more variety in his attacks would've made him more in-character with his reality-warping and what not, maybe a little interface screw.
As to playing as the mane six, I found that to be interesting, but I probably wouldn't do a full playthrough as any of them just because they aren't balanced for the levels and thus some levels would either be too easy or too difficult depending on the character.
Overall, a good game, one that one should consider trying even if they never watched the show and one that one should definitely try if they did watch and like the show (or used to, in my case).
