I have moved the "Plot" paragraph before the gameplay paragraph because I think the story/plot should be talked about first. Do you think this is a good change? You may change it back of you like. BIONICLE233 ( talk) 21:34, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll take this one. — Bilorv ( talk) 11:28, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
First things first: since the GA review in July, the article has been massively revamped, so I think I can look at this afresh. I've got 99,999 Mario Party Points (DK's Stone Statue is overpowered) and the only game I could never beat Expert computers at is Get the Lead Out, so I think I can call myself something of a subject expert.
WP:VG/S approves of many of the sources that I'm not familiar with (and WP:RSP approves of Common Sense Media). Game Revolution isn't on the list but looking at its website, it seems reliable, and the author of this piece Nicholas Tan seemed to be an Editor-in-Chief at the time, so this is a professional reviewer rather than a user review.
The issue is YouTube: as RSP comments, most videos are self-published, making them only as reliable as the person publishing them. In the case of the Nintendo Life video, that's fine, but the others need removing—along with the associated sentences. Mario Party Legacy appears to be a fan channel and bdrumerdrums' trailer is possibly a copyright violation so shouldn't be linked on Wikipedia at all.
If the trailer was published by an official Nintendo-owned channel then that link could be swapped out. As for the gameplay, edge cases like ties don't need to be covered if no reliable source mentions them.
Spotchecks (numbering as of Special:Permalink/1171573395): #2, #6, #24, #25, 28. Just a couple of nitpicks mentioned below, but generally good verifiability.
props integrate common household items such as clothing hangers, a bathroom sink, and tin cans.
... cumbersome."and
game starring Mario to have."
Thanks for your work on the article! Hopefully these comments will help improve it. I think the major areas of weakness are wordiness, and YouTube sources and unsourced sentences. The article's structure is good and the sorting of reviewer comments by topic (e.g. single-player mode) is excellent. With a bit more work this can definitely reach GA quality!
I'm putting this formally on hold for 7 days, but if progress is still being made I may be able to extend this limit. —
