Criscih: Please do not write over my edits to the text without motivation. The intro text is still very POV, and the images should not all be at the bottom of the article like they are now.
If you place a note here when you're "finished" with the article, I can take it upon myself to do some NPOV cleanup. I don't want to risk that you overwrite the work again.
Even though you somewhat addressed the points I brought up on your user page, the rest of the text is still not neutral ("awesome music", for example), and the text still reads as a game tutorial / instruction booklet. In an encyclopedia, one should rarely address the reader as "you".

I own the game the NES and a pair of the original packaged 3D glasses and have found them to be more of a gimmick than an actual 3D component to the game, I have editted the article accordingly. Drfool 23:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Is there any reason the original posting of the Twin Galaxies World Record was omitted? The game was popular both at the time and in today's competitive gaming circles, and unless you want to strike TwinGalaxies' existence from Wikipedia for a lack of notability, it's at least worth having a discussion over. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.233.60.178 ( talk) 19:58, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Rad Racer was a big hit with North American audiences, selling about 2,000,000 copies in total. It was Square's best selling game on the NES. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.163.247.2 ( talk) 14:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm stunned there's no mention of this being one of the three games on the (in)famous Nintendo World Championship cart. 68.13.130.204 ( talk) 23:20, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

I can already tell by looking at it that it needs some work, but it might not be an immediate fail. Expect comments soon.

@ Judgesurreal777: - I apologize, but I don't think this meets the GA criteria at this time. Here are my concerns.
This needs a lot of work if it wants to be a GA. In addition to this, I'd really try and slow down on your nominations. I know this is due to the Square Enix WikiProject trying to get to their goal of having most Squeenix pages be GAs, but it seems rather obvious you're rushing these to completion and not taking the time to make sure it follows the criteria. That's not acceptable for GANs. Namcokid 47 (Contribs) 20:43, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

^Was the game conceived by Masafumi Miyamoto or did Masafumi Miyamoto assigned Nasir to the game's development? it's hard to tell unfortunately because we don't have access to the source itself. If you have access, perhaps you can clarify.
So, I cut the stuff in the lead that wasn't sourced, and the claims about the game being premier. I also found a source for the dates of release. I did see the source describing why the game was created and it just says that it was conceived to show off Gebelli's 3D skills. It was probably also done to compete with the other big racing game of the period, but no RS from Square say that LOL. I moved the programming info about what Gebelli did closer to the section about him as you requested. I also looked at consolidating the famous people with bit parts in the development, but I didn't see how to write it without being awkward. The sentences about their roles do site their little parts such as track creation, creating the ending, or being pulled to make the original Final Fantasy. Let me know what you think! @ Blue Pumpkin Pie: Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 22:07, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
I made some additional fixes. but I think it's worthy of GA now. Blue Pumpkin Pie ( talk) 17:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
