Mario Party: Island Tour

Support

1. Baby Luigi (talk) Well-written article that goes into all of the details of the game. I even created links that weren't there prior to that, such as the collectables you can get. Also snapped up space images for the article (though some can't be obtained properly because they don't show up in the results screen, resulting in me taking the screenshot and thus the inconsistency). Images are high quality, and there's all the required sections for the article such as critical reception, staff, and media. I can safely say that this article meets all the requirements for it to be featured, alongside Mario Party: Star Rush and Mario Party: The Top 100.
2. Bazooka Mario (talk) Go Mario Party coverage in this wiki! My only gripe is the formatting of the minor characters table. It seems like trivial information that takes up too much space in the article.
3. TheFlameChomp (talk) Per all.
4. WeirdDave13 (talk) Per all.
5. YoshiEgg1990 (talk) Per all.

Oppose

1. Toadette the Achiever (talk) I know this vote may seem out of context, but I completely disagree with Bazooka Mario's reasoning and think the minor characters table should have stayed. Reiterating my comment below, it's better to have some of this kind of information in one place, rather than just having to toggle back and forth between articles to find said information, for better or for worse. Moreover, I don't see why the information in the tables is trivial, and space also seems like a nonissue. If we do end up improving it, I'd say make it more like the table used in the Mario Party: The Top 100 article, with two columns instead of four for better readability.

The page is amazing, but as Bazooka Mario said, the minor characters table is pretty bad. Improve it and i'll support. Yoshi Egg 1990 17:17, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

Please give me suggestions on how to improve it. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:27, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

I've nixed the table and gave a simple gallery format. It does lose information on exactly where they appear in but...there's no other way I can format this without giving up some information. Guess readers can just go in their articles to find out... Ray Trace^(T|C) 19:20, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

I kind of disagree that tables like those should be outright removed, since they do provide good information in one place rather than having to search for information from several different articles (which might not even be complete in coverage), which can get utterly tedious. I'd be all for reinstating the table, just give it two columns instead of four for easier readability and shortening entries where characters/species have very minor roles in minigame to just "Appears as a spectator in various minigames." ^(T|C) 01:22, 17 August 2018 (EDT)

Could you provide an example in the article? Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:06, 17 August 2018 (EDT)
