 * 1) Worked on it for a while, I think it covers all appearances it needs and all sections are adequate. The writing isn't bad I think, and the Super Smash Bros. section has a good amount of information and details. The remakes and compilations section might contain a lot of games, but I don't want to repeat information several times across the article (Dr. Mario shares the same role, but with updated graphics), so I think the section has a role there. Anyway, if there is anything important, let me know, and depending on the importance and size of the issue, try telling me in the comments section before opposing. Thanks.

I'm... rather hesitant to mark this off as featured. The writing isn't really bad, but it tends to be really wordy and/or lengthy. Because of that, it's cumbersome. For example, "Dr. Mario Online Rx is a WiiWare game that is made available for download on the Wii Shop Channel," says the section that doesn't even give a single sentence to describe what Dr. Mario does in that game. The first Dr. Mario game also goes into detail on its gameplay, but it kind of overlooks the actual character and doesn't say what his role in the game is other than the fact that he's there. The intro, for some reason, also goes into a lot of detail on Nurse Toadstool, a character that is related, but not to the point of needing to be covered. Speaking of the intro, it doesn't mention what Dr. Mario ever does. It describes his appearance and the games he's appeared in (though I'm not sure that's really necessary), but what about the role he actually plays? Also, you're probably tired of me at this point, but how about a standard general information section? I'm not exactly expecting much in the way of personality (props to you if you can make something that doesn't reek of fan), but there's definitely room for both a physical appearance section and an abilities section. All right, I'm done now.
