Guide complete with more than 2 pics per page, easy to follow layout and compatible with different resolutions. - Trevman 20:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

  • Some of the red links on the front page should be fixed, such as the series category, and the dev/publisher. The ToC also needs a minor cleanup (no appendices). -- Prod (Talk) 18:13, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
  • The guide is complete in that it gives the walthrough, but featured guides need to go above and beyond. The level descriptions don't seem comprehensive, as there is no discussion of alternative methods or other actions that don't necessarily pertain to moving forward in the game. There is also little information on the overall context of the actions to the main story. Additionally, there is an empty Appendices section in the table of contents and none of the images are marked up in any way showing where the player should go or what item they should interact with. This is definitely a level four guide, but I don't think it's been fleshed out enough to attain featured status. — najzereT 17:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, after almost 2 years of work...it's done. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 02:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

  • I have spent more than enough time watching/editing this guide to know that it rules. Way to go Arrow! Ok, now for some scrutiny... The first thing I notice is that the Getting Started section could be expanded. Completeness is the goal here. For example, a listing of the menus and options are unavailable. Maybe something is confusing for people, or the game's tooltips don't describe them well. This is why we include these sections - to elaborate where the developers will not. I wish I could do this part, because I'm a stickler for insignificant details, but alas I don't have the game. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 07:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
    • I do feel that's somewhat irrelevant and outside the scope of the guide, as the game's menus are fairly easy and intuitive to navigate. You've just got Single Player, Multiplayer, a Tactical Library, Options, and Exit. The only thing that might be worth elaborating on is the Tactical Library, but...ah, what the crap. It's added now, as you requested. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 12:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think it's done, but if anyone can suggest any changes, go ahead. Moydow T · C · Boxes 11:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

  • It looks complete to me! Great job, Moydow. :) -- Imjon 15:42, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
  • The guide looks great. I still never finished Luigi's Mansion, and as all those hallways and doors are so confusing, this guide explains it all perfectly. Nice work. =D --E-123Wario54The Temple of TalkFFI black mage (8-bit).gif 17:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
  • I am opposing this until some miscellaneous additions are added. Don't get me wrong, the walkthrough is complete; it just looks empty. I think the Getting Started section needs info on how to suck up ghosts, in case people don't learn the tutorial or skip it (if possible) or continue playing the game a couple of months after they start it, etc. The walkthrough could use maps, and additional pictures (especially of the bosses). Although I enjoy supporting to-be featured guides, those who support this should begin a critical analysis of the walkthrough from a gamer's point of view, rather than an editor. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 01:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
    • Duly noted. While it's not possible to skip the tutorial, I suppose that's the purpose of a Getting Started page. Maps are hard to come by, the most I could do there is try to draw some on some type of photo editor. I'll see what I can do. Moydow T · C · Boxes 01:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
      • Remember to check online in case someone already has one. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 02:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

    • I'm with NMH here. The walkthrough needs more images and maps. I see some of the ghost images are missing. The infobox says the game's in the Mario series, but it's missing the {{Mario}} box (and is missing from the {{Mario}} box). It's a good, complete guide, but I think it needs more pizazz in the pages to be featured. :-) (I'm not back yet; I've got exams, and I'm just passing through.). --DrBob (talk) 16:33, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
