A game that's destined to fail, as it seems. Reviewing this article. GeraldWL 13:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Images and lead

• File:Wild Woody Gameplay.jpg has some "NA"s. Please fill them.
• Please add alt texts to assist those with screen readers.
• "and it failed to make a commercial impact." I don't see any statements in Reception stating that it "failed to make a commercial impact."

It's in the last sentence of Reception's first paragraph: "Wild Woody failed to make a commercial impact, which Lanford attributed to its late release in the 16-bit era, questionable character design and standard platforming gameplay." Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 20:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Gameplay

• I remember a version of this article having a plot section. They are allowed to be included, so if you can, please do so. This should be placed below "Gameplay".
• in which the player controls the titular character. Woody is an anthropomorphic pencil -- suggest changing to in which the player controls the titular character Woody, an anthropomorphic pencil.
• Suggest linking totem pole as it is uncommon word.

Development and release

• Suggest linking game engine within "engine".

Reception

• Suggest paraphrasing some quotes to lessen copyright stuff. I see stuff that can be.
• "Doug Lanford agreed that the title"-- "In response, Doug Lanford agreed that the title". GeraldWL 13:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

All done Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 20:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Salute for that quick change. Now I just have two concerns on the plot. After this I'll give MOS:VG a last check.

• "...the totem pole's power would be released; the totem pole segments scatter and create parallel universes for themselves, which threatens to destroy the world." Repetitive use of totem pole. Suggest changing the second mention to "it".
• Suggest giving the sentences starting from "Under Low Man's instruction" a standalone paragraph. So the plot has two paragraphs. Much cleaner in my view. GeraldWL 02:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

And done. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 03:25, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Cat's Tuxedo, and all good! I've added a portal bar; now it's GA. Hold on a second for that. GeraldWL 04:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
