  1. This is very comprehensive and doesn't seem to have errors in it. The Main page and the ToC is well-written and updated. Totlmstr 18:03, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
  2. I put everything into this guide, I definitely want to see it promoted.Lunar Knight (Talk to me + Contribs) 17:10, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

  1. There are no images in the walkthrough whatsoever, which is a requirement for a featured guide. Also, looking through the walkthrough I could understand it, but it needs to go more in-depth in all the areas, and optional expansions should go into a {{sidebar}} entry to denote that it is optional and also make it stand out a bit more. A few other things I noticed is that it makes no use of the control images in the walkthrough (the control selector template can allow them to toggle to their preferred method of playing) and that there is no special marking of rare scans that you cannot come back later and get. I could probably find a few more things, but that covers it pretty well for the moment. --Skizzerz (talk · contribs) 18:15, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
  2. In addition to all of Skizzerz comments, which I agree with, there are a number of pages that need to be merged into one page. Specifically, most of the pages at the bottom of the TOC should be merged into one page named according to the header of that column. Procyon (Talk) 18:40, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
  3. I'm very impressed with the guide! However, I have to agree with the above two, especially about the images. --DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 21:31, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

  • So, instead of having X list here and there, there should be one good list, such as the Weapons? So, it's still young for it to be a featured guide. After reading, you can delete. Totlmstr 21:56, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
    • Yes, keep one good list all in one location. You can link to it from elsewhere, but having one list is not only easier to update, but it requires less load time and searching for the reader. --Skizzerz (talk · contribs) 18:42, 6 May 2008 (CDT)
      • About the images...what am I supposed to do for this and other DS guides? Theres no realistic way to get screens for the walkthrough. Wouldn't that mean that no DS game can realistically become a featured guide?:-P Lunar Knight (Talk to me + Contribs) 17:10, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

  2. Very nice :) Skizzerz (talk · contribs) 21:40, 6 March 2008 (CST)
  3. Extremely well done Procyon (Talk) 10:14, 10 April 2008 (CDT)
  4. Very nice! :) I never got very far into the game but this seems to cover all the things I learned along the way, and many things I didn't. GarrettTalk 23:05, 10 April 2008 (CDT)
  5. Well done!--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 19:06, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
  6. I support, on the condition that the DSS page is sorted out. I believe it can be tabulated, but if it can't we can at least remove the {{cleanup}} template. The rest of the guide that I've checked so far looks great! --DrBob (talk) 01:34, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

  • Well, it was a long hard struggle, but the guide is finally done. Lots of details, images, and diagrams, organized images; the works. Contains a full walkthrough, secrets, as well as level details, and complete magic, item, enemy, equipment, and weapon lists. There really isn't anything else that I can add at this point, so here it is. - Koweja 20:10, 6 March 2008 (CST)
  • I really don't like the black background on the maps, which I feel distracts the eye a bit too much, but that's not a major enough change to hold back the guide. As for the rest of the guide I would have put the item icons before the text (which is closer to how they are displayed in the game) and standardised the spacing between the text and icons, but that's a minor issue. Other than that it's all very nice. GarrettTalk 23:05, 10 April 2008 (CDT)
  • The item icons before the names would be an easy fix I believe since it's all done through a template (anyone want to debate one way or the other?) -- Prod (Talk) 15:19, 11 April 2008 (CDT)
