 * 1) The Hotel Mario article has actually a lot of positive traits that in my opinion make it worth featuring. The plot section has five detailed paragraphs with high quality images where you can really see the pixels and images in the background, especially considering how much the game is mocked for its visuals and cutscenes. There are no red links, in particular it is impressive that every single level of every hotel has a blue link. The enemies and item sprites all have good quality with a good description. The reception area shows well with three paragraphs the reception of the game right when it came out as well as over the years. There are a lot of good small details the article has of the game like it’s startup screens. For a game that is often mocked for its quality the article itself here is actually of good quality.

When nominating titles to be featured, please learn to format the page properly.

Several minor issues I have include linking headers (such as the hotel header when they should be removed) and some writing can be improved (like for enemy sections, "easily defeated" is a common phrase which I think needs a tweak). The article could also use a forms section depicting Mario's Super and Fire forms, as well as a section for the Koopaling's appearances since they're boss fights worth mentioning. And the staff section could be rewritten to be prose than merely a list of staff members. 16:17, March 5, 2021 (EST)
 * The "Main characters" section also needs some beefing up, no? So far it's almost no different from the gallery at the bottom of the article. 16:20, March 5, 2021 (EST)
 * Yeah I agree with that too. Main characters can probably use a description. 16:21, March 5, 2021 (EST)

Not sure if this really matters for determining featured articles, but the page is a common target for counter-productive anonymous edits (such as with the "gay Luigi" thing) to the point it has been protected twice already because of it. 16:24, March 5, 2021 (EST)
 * How often a page gets vandalized has no bearing on its merits as an article. If anon edits target it, undo revisions and protect the page. 16:25, March 5, 2021 (EST)
