[edit] Support

1. Well after reading it several times, I nominated this article. I think it's pretty neat and VERY good with info. It's long, and is reasonable as a featured article. Oh and don't say it's too new of a game for a featured article, CUZ IT'S NOT! Luigi001
2. I agree. Although it could use images on the kart pages, it is full of info about the game. BTW, I added the stuff on kart/bike classes. Negative Squad (talk)
3. Per both User:Dharmanyo
4. Per All Blue Blooper^C
5. Per All but Dharmanyo KP Blue (Talk)
6. Rainbow Yoshi 10:47, 10 August 2008 (EDT)It's pretty great, I like the fact that the page has plenty of info on the game
7. Nintendo Wii and EA Hey,I have Mario Kart Wii and it's a good game.But when I took a look at the artical... WHOA! It told me how to unlock stuff.Thanks.
8. User:ShadowDialga/sig O YEA DAS RIGHT!!!

[edit] Oppose

1. Cobold (talk · contribs) - There are still problems in the article. Some parts used to have "you" in them, but got badly transfered into "the player" in the Gameplay section. Some references are missing, other external links (to a YouTube video showing all karts and bikes) are unneeded. The vehicles table uses colors which are sometimes hard to tell apart. Can't it use numbers as well? Some parts of the Gameplay section are still behaving as if the game wasn't released yet, too ("will feature 12 players online" etc.)
2. Stumpers! - The chart showing the statistics for all of the carts is what's bothering me right now. The color system just doesn't seem to work. It's very hard to tell what is being said about the carts with it. Perhaps we should try another method, like using A-F instead? I would also think that lining up the chart so that there were two columns would be a good idea too, if it would fit. The single column makes you have to look back up top to see which stat you are dealing with.
3. User:DaWeegeeManDaWeegeeMan) Per stumpers
4. Garlic Man - Following up on what Stumpers said, I think the chart colors are confusing too. In fact, (no offence)it looks even worse now then the Green-Red chart. The letter(A-F) system seems rational, or we could even use a number system. There was also a formatting problem with the expert staff ghost time chart, but that has been taken care of. Other wise, once the color problem is fixed, this is a great article to be featured.

[edit] Comments

The use of numbers would be inaccurate, the game does not shows the stats in numerical way. It is somehow similar to the stat ratios of the characters from Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. ¢oincoll€ctor ?

Then use more saturated colors which are easier to tell apart. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:38, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

I have a good idea for the colors, they are (from lowest to highest rating):brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. But I can't get the colors in the actual chart to change. Any help? Luigi001 I think maybe we should put up an under construction tag on that section for right now, because right now it is kinda in need of it. But don't call it quits on the FA nomination just yet. But that section really needs the fixing as of right now!

Actually, if you add the tag, the nomination will be deleted. You can nominate it again after fixing it, though. Time Questions 06:53, 29 June 2008 (EDT)

Someone seems to have fixed the colors, so maybe we can work on the other issues found. Luigi001

I don't see what's so bad about that youtube video, as it makes up for the images we don't have for the karts and bikes. I read over that article again and I didn't find too many unrealeased tenses, if I found any at all. You are kinda right about the colors, but that can be easily fixed. Also, the Gameplay looks fine to me. Overall, the only real problem might be the colors.Luigi001

Good work on the colors. This section (the list) still has grammar problems, also sources are missing. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:41, 29 June 2008 (EDT)

I fixed the "modes of play" section. But what do you mean by sources are missing? Because if that's all that really left to fix than maybe this will be good for a FA.Luigi001

He's talking about adding references, see here for more information. Time Questions 15:06, 29 June 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. I see what you're saying now. There's a comment about how nintendo wanted to fix problems with excite truck by adding the wii wheel. Not so sure about that. And there is a part that mentions coin collecting tournaments and bosses from NSMB, but those can be found out soon (a new tournament comes out in 2-3 days.)Luigi001

When you say number or letter system, do you mean something like 1/F=very low, 6/A=very high? Luigi001

Yes. My apologies for not responding sooner. Stumpers! 21:06, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

No problem! I guess I could work on that, if it's what will get this article featured! Luigi001
