Support

 * It's ultra-detailed, well-written, complete (as far as I can tell), and one of the few articles that follow the new article organization standard... a prototype for all the articles yet to be updated to the new standard.
 * 1) - I am honored that someone would features this article!  Son of Suns and Walkazo should be honored as well.  Great job you two!  The three of us have gone through that article so many times... so if Time Q also likes it, I'm pretty sure it's going to do okay as an FA.
 * 2) Per the two smart people above me.
 * 3) - Haha, when I first saw this nomination I thought it was a joke. But you three did a fine job! Congrats!

Yup, kudos to Stumpers, SoS and Walkazo for their work on this article. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much interest in this nomination... 17:26, 6 January 2009 (EST)
 * OOps, I thought I commented a while ago... Well, you have my support!
 * All we need are five votes are we're golden, so I think we'll make it. 01:40, 7 January 2009 (EST)
 * Is the infrormation in the Mario kart double dash section neccisary?
 * Probably not. I'll get rid of it. If anyone has a problem with that, tell me.
 * I should have responded sooner, but yes, for the sake of completion we need to mention that factoid somewhere. Now, whether the way we're portraying the information may not be the best, however.  Can anyone think of a better way?  00:19, 11 January 2009 (EST)

I would just like to note that according to our current article organization policy, which is about to be changed, this article is improper, it should be (as I had earlier... not sure what happened), the television show and comics before the video games, because the tv show and comics came first. However, I believe we should turn away just this once and instead focus our efforts on changing the article to meet the NEW standard once said standard comes into play... see the proposal page for more information on the new organization standard. Basically, we won't have to change anything except the order in which we present the sources, so just a simple rearranging will be required. Is everyone okay with us making this one exception, with the promise that it WILL be rectified before the article is featured on the front page? 00:25, 11 January 2009 (EST)

1) How about this? "In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mama Mario was referenced by Baby Luigi. If Baby Luigi were to fall into chasm, be blown up, or knocked aside by large obstacles or opposers using a Star, he would cry out 'Mama' loudly in panic." It's not much better, but it's something. Perhaps something could be mentioned about how Baby Luigi cries for his mother, while Baby Mario does not; I dunno. 2) I completely agree. 00:30, 11 January 2009 (EST)
