Guide complete with more than 2 pics per page, easy to follow layout and compatible with different resolutions. - [[User:Trevman|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). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk: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. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 17:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think it's done, but if anyone can suggest any changes, go ahead. [[User:Moydow|<font color="green">Moy</font><font color="orange">dow</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:Moydow|<font color="blue">T</font>]]{{dot}}[[Special:Contributions/Moydow|<font color="gold">C</font>]]{{dot}}[[User:Moydow/Userboxes|<font color="red">Boxes</font>]]</sup> 11:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
*It looks complete to me! Great job, Moydow. :) -- [[User:Imjon|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 --[[User:E-123Wario54|<span style="color:Purple">'''E-123Wario54'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:E-123Wario54|<span style="color:Blue">'''The Temple of Talk'''</span>]]</sup>[[File:FFI black mage (8-bit).gif|24px]] 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. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 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.

***Remember to check online in case someone already has one. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 02:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
****If you don't find any that are suitable, I can create some and upload them. Just let me know on my talk page. Placing myself as undecided until I get a chance to read over the entire thing to search for confusing bits. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig4}} 06:47, 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 <nowiki>{{Mario}}</nowiki> box (and is missing ''from'' the <nowiki>{{Mario}}</nowiki> 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.). --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 16:33, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
***I've added the {{t|Mario}} template. Hopefully, Skizzerz can do those maps. Meanwhile, I'm looking out for any good images I can use to add to the guide. I'll do as much as possible to improve the guide and implement any other suggestions.

*Also, the walkthrough needs to include notes about the Hidden Mansion. I can see that Chauncey's strategy lacks the note about the PAL version's zig zagging rocking horses. Perhaps there are other things to be noted. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 04:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Can anything more be added to [[Centipede/Home version comparisons]]? It feels a lot emptier than the rest of the guide. The guide is definitely complete everywhere else though. {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 10:35, 7 December 2010 (CST)
