I'm going to begin the review on this page soon as I haven't contributed significantly at all to it. Reviewer: Feedback (talk) 18:55, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- Seeing as the above reviewer did not list him/herself on the WP:GAN page, and they have not started a review yet, I'll be taking over. Expect comments within a day. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 18:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- Overall, a good article, almost decent enough to pass GA. Some points that I think should be mentioned before passing.
File:CTRCharRoster.JPG has a pretty weak fair use rationale, in that A) it's fairly high resolution, but B) is low quality (and even if it was high quality doesn't display much relevant info), and C) the characters aren't that important per WP:NFCC. Same issues exist with File:NitrosOxideAdventure.JPG; I would say remove them entirely. - Secondly, the "Racing modes" section could probably be cut down a paragraph or two. It's simply too much information for a general audience.

- I have removed the mentioned images and split up the "Racing modes" section into two smaller sub-sections, just so you're aware. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 21:55, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll take a look later on tomorrow. My concern was with length, however, not divisions. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 01:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- In case if the section still doesn't look good, I might need help on what needs to be trimmed down, i.e. info that doesn't really need to be covered. I'm having a little trouble on that part :| Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 00:07, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Things like "Open Warp Pads can be found through the use of the radar on the lower right corner of the screen. Open Warp Pads appear as small, flashing silver dots on the radar.[4]" are more fluff than important. For the secondary game modes, you don't have to explain every little feature, just shorten it up, ex. "If the player re-enters a level in which a trophy is already won, the Relic Race can be entered," → Change this to a more general "After beating levels, new modes become available, such as" or similar.
- Similarly, you can cut "To aid the player, "Time Crates" are scattered throughout the level. When the player drives through a Time Crate, the clock freezes for whatever number of seconds is indicated on the Time Crate; (1, 2, or 3 seconds.) If all of the Time Crates are destroyed, the player's final time will be reduced by a further ten seconds. " → ""Time Crates" scattered throughout the level freeze the game timer when a player drives through them." (if you wanted to talk about the ten second bonus you could work it in too.)

- I've made the recommended changes. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 14:28, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm making the last tweaks myself; sorry for the delays, but I'll finish up this week. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 17:47, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I've made my edits, and so since I'm satisfied it meets GA criteria, I will pass it. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 16:37, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
