 * Yggdrasil was designed and created in less than a week due to procrastination on Zatsupachi's part; this also left him without much time to properly balance the three bosses' difficulty.
-* Yggdrasil is one of only two multi-Element level in the ''MaGMML'' series where one Energy Element is inaccessible without collecting another in the stage first (the other being [[Spectrum Science]] in ''[[Make a Good Mega Man Level 3]]''). In Yggdrasil's case, the door to Kichona will not open without first collecting Crator and Cream's Energy Elements.

 * [[ACESpark]] later stated in a video released in late 2017 that he no longer considered Yggdrasil his least favorite level, clarifying in 2020 that [[Sector Upsilon 6]] had taken its place due to its overly long, confusing, and generally draining nature.
 * Yggdrasil is the lowest-ranking stage in ''MaGMML2'' to feature custom bosses.

-|ace=That was among the least enjoyable Mega Man experiences I have ever had. Worse than half the nonsense zero effort rom hacks of Rockman 2, more unplayable than those garbage mobile phone ports, more annoying than the Upon a Star OVA, and yes, worse than X7 and its stupid face. I will gladly fight Flame Hyenard again and again, with full sound, rather than play this stage again. Hell I'd happily go through X7 with all the sound replaced with Flame Hyenard vocal cues. My friends, any Let's Players - if you are going to skip any level in this contest - make it this one. I cannot understate how un-fun this stage was. I was stuck in this level for over an hour on my first passes, and I hated every minute of it.

 Are ya ready kids? Settle in, this is the long one. This level does not start off well. We get walls of text (I know, sorry), from 3 random characters, that speed by so quickly the player does not have a chance to even read them. Going up, with the blue segment, we have Quick Man Lasers. The fact they're introduced safely seems like a positive. Wait a few seconds though on the screen with the Sniper Joe though - and suddenly lasers. There is no indication at all that this room is going to be dangerous, especially since there is a newly introduced enemy in this room, that will stump the player the first time they see it.

 Home to this stage is a original{{sic}} warping gimmick - and at first the rules seem obvious - go off the edge of the screen and you'll warp to the other side. This is a lovely idea!
 But,,{{sic}} it turns out there are NO rules to this gimmick. At all. The rules to this thing change between rooms. Sometimes you can walk into somewhere complete innocuous{{sic}} and you'll warp elsewhere. Sometimes logical spots for warps don't have them. Outside of trial and error, there is no way to tell where you'll end up with this gimmick, and whether or not you'll be led to a pit.
-I haven't even mentioned the enemy set yet. They're so bad. We are not playing Touhou, Mega Man actually has a HUGE hitbox, and more to the point  bullet hell shoot em up games actually have PATTERNS to the masses of projectiles... not just total RNG like this.

 I eventually reached the first of the three bosses, the boss with the sword. Its damage output is nuts, it can and will pull off attacks when it feels like it with little to no warning, and is completely invincible whilst making these attacks. The only good option to beating him is to use his weakness, he is so far off the power scale that buster-only is practically unbeatable.

 In the next room, Yoku Blocks in a more complex series of patterns appear; however, the screen has screen wrapping, so it's easier to wrap around to the top and stick to the right before the blocks allow a way forward. A Super Joe and Wild Gunner appear here; as on the blue path, it's wise to use the Jewel Satellite to block their danmaku shots rather than trying to dodge them normally. A ladder to the pink path appears on the top, while the green path continues on a ladder down below. Taking the lower ladder leads to a room with Yoku Blocks over spikes. Though the tileset obfuscates it a little, there is a slide passage on the left that wraps around to the right. Not long afterwards is a screen with an advancing maze of Yoku Blocks, but by staying as close to the top layer of blocks as possible, it can be easily crossed. Right before the next checkpoint is a screen with Yoku Blocks arranged in a smiley face, and an E-Tank on a high ledge impossible to reach without using a utility like the [[Rush Jet]].
-The screen below has a choice of three paths to drop down, although the rightmost one requires the Rush Jet or Super Arrow to reach. On the bottom left of the screen below, jumping over the spikes to the left leads to a secret area with a Yashichi, which wraps back around to the checkpoint. Jumping to the right side of the screen on either the top or bottom corners leads to the final part of the path. Both the upper and lower paths contain a long section of tricky Yoku Block patterns over spikes and a bottomless pit, with a decoy block on the lower path, and a block that appears directly above Mega Man on the upper path. Using Rush Jet to fly past all the blocks is advised if possible. The very last part of the path contains three ladders before [[Cream]]'s door, two of which go down to a teleporter that warps Mega Man to the area just before Crator. The upper ladder leads to a series of Yoku Blocks that act as an alternate way of reaching the pink path by using the [[Wheel Cutter]] to go upwards. However, the lower ladder is not climbable due to a bug, forcing the player to scale the whole room diagonally between side blocks with Super Arrow and Rush Jet.

 Accessing the pink path requires going through at least the first half of either the blue or green paths first. The ends of both paths also feature ladders to pathways towards the end of the pink path, but taking them is largely not recommended as getting to them wastes time. Instead, the blue path is the quickest way to reach the pink path thanks to its lack of time-consuming enemies and Yoku Blocks. Regardless of the path taken, both are mostly the same, with multiple platforms over a pit, while enemies try to knock Mega Man off with their multiple shots. The Jewel Satellite remains the weapon of choice here. Both paths also have secret shortcuts via transparent ladders (with the top path hiding its behind a fake spike). Taking them leads to an area with spikes that need to be scaled with either the Super Arrow or Wheel Cutter; going left from here takes Mega Man to a large, non-functioning portal with an M-Tank.
-Both paths eventually meet up in a long vertical area filled with ladders, with [[Kichona]]'s boss door lying in a small screen to the right. If Mega Man hasn't defeated both Crator and Cream in prior playthroughs, the door will not open for him. Back in the large vertical area, a small room close to the large portal contains a smaller portal with four ? Cans. This portal will take Mega Man back to the start of the level with no quick way to return, as the "late" entrances to the pink path found right at the end of the blue and green paths are intended to be one-way, preventing Mega Man from going back through them to reach the necessary boss.

However, the ending of the green path's late entrance can be successfully accessed and even traversed backwards, in which case using [[Sakugarne]] can help with the descent.
