Infobox

Australian release date is uncited and unmentioned outside of the infobox.

Cut, I never cite these anyways

Most of the staff is uncited and unincorporated into the article. Either remove them or include them in the article with citations.

Similar concerns I left a comment about in my other reviews, so I await your recommendation

Gameplay

At a glance, my biggest concern with this article is the fact that all the minigames are listed. I'm not really convinced that the minigames in this are notable enough to go into detail about how they operate. In my opinion, it would be better to discuss a handful of minigames as examples of the Game Pad gimmicks (cited by RS to demonstrate that these are more notable gimmicks). So, for instance, you could use Gamer as one of the examples because, well, it's considerably more well-known.

Great! I'll happily cut this down.

"More minigames are unlocked as you progress through the game, as well as different game modes and difficulty settings within them." Is this saying that you unlock different game modes and difficulty settings, or is it saying that they have them?

Clarified

Development

"announced to release June 23." feels redundant since the release date is mentioned later in the paragraph. Maybe if the initial release was delayed, but that's not the case here.

Unredundanted

Images

Screenshot pair should have a specific rationale.

@Panini!: Just so you know I'm a touch busy rn so I'll be back to reviewing this in a day or two. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:43, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cukie Gherkin, it has been two weeks since you said you would be returning to this within a day or two. Can you please return to it, or if you are busy IRL, provide an updated timeframe for when you will do so? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:10, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I have been busy, but I've completed the review. The remaining issues were small errors that I fixed. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 12:41, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
