I wonder why the [[#Dixie Kong#Game Appearances|Game Appearances]] list always tells the North American release date, except for a Japan-only game? The original release date should always be used, many of the games were released in Japan or even in Europe first. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 11:42, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

  1. Marcelagus (T • C • E) -- Awesome article(One of the best I've seen, in fact). Definitely lengthy enough, with no section too short. Great image distribution, and gallery. Good chart with game appearances in chronological order. I really see no problem with this article.
  2. Javier12345: per Garlic Man.
  3. SSBstarman.jpgStarry Parakarry Parakarry in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. - Per GarlicMan! It's pretty much the definition of a featured article.
  4. Yoshisprite.png YoshiDaisy Daisysprite.png fan1 - per Garlic Man. Amazing!
  5. Super Mario Galaxy promotional artwork: Rosalina with her wand held.♥Rosalina♥ Artwork of Princess Peach for Mario Party 8 (Reused in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Run) - Per all, specially GarlicMan.
  6. Grandy02 (talk): Per Garlic Man. Great article!
