#{{User|Mario}} Needs a few sprucing up. The controls table is sloppy and otherwise hard to quickly comprehend. The gameplay section needs actual information on how Mario Kart 8 controls instead of a single sentence of "It has the same controls as the previous game." But anyhow, I'll get on it later, this is my most concerning problem right now. UPDATE: The Online section has a severe lack of details. It may or may not work like Mario Kart Wii's or Mario Kart 7's, but it's hard to tell either way. That's bad. Articles can't be featured with a lack of information now, huh?

#{{User|Boo4761}} Per Time Turner.
#{{User|Tsunami}} Per Mario and Time Turner. I'm not telling the article is bad: still, the article is not good enough to get featured. The controls table is bad, and after some reading, I can tell I had some problems at reading the controls. And pretty much every single reason they gave is right. I see a lot of "random" (come one, the same thing happened with Megasparkle Goomba) votes: what about comparing the quality with another FA game? Also... maybe not everyone is aware that if the game is partly upcoming it means it is not complete and is a target of outdating? There isn't any rule preventing a partly upcoming article to be FA, but this is the main reason why Wii U didn't get featured. BTW, there is not need of much work.

#{{User|Mario7}} Per all. Also, with the upcoming DLC, there are unknown portions and conjectural names, which gives it an unprofessional look.

#{{User|Toadbrigade5}} Per all, I feel the proposal was too fan support only, and that its being featured not because of how the article looks, but what the article is of. I don't think thats a fair idea.

::I'll give you the first point, but for the second... no duh? I mean, if they aren't a playable character, the general assumption is that they're NPC's. My point is that NPC's can have wildly different functions, and outlining them through separate headers was exactly what I wanted to do. While not having it be 100% clear wouldn't be catastrophic, it certainly doesn't seem like an outlandish idea. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

@Tsunami: "Random" votes often happen because it's a high traffic article, so many misinformed users come in and vote because they like how informative the article is, or they like the subject matter. But it doesn't matter how many people support the article, if our opposes remain up to December 15, then the nomination fails. {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:26, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
:While Mario Kart 8 is great and it's article is in good condition, I was half wanting to oppose and half wanting to support. The question on my mind was: Will the article be worth it? I'm going on an edge here. {{User:TheCookieMan/sig}} 9:08 p.m. October 24, 2014 (EDT)
::Worth what? There's no point in supporting it since it won't do anything to make the article closer to featuring. Once our opposition has been satisfied, then it will be worth it. {{User:Mario/sig}} 21:34, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
People should really stop supporting the nomination. This isn't like the proposals; if the opposition still stands by the end of the limit, it fails. {{User:BabyLuigi64/sig}}
:Per this, Just look what happened to the first Super Mario 3D World nomination. Most of the support votes are fan votes or they are beginner Mariowikiests. {{User:Boo4761/sig}}
::I'm cynical, but it's not stopping fan votes. We had this problem with the [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Featured_Articles/N1/Luigi Luigi] and [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Featured_Articles/N1/Mario Mario] nominations or [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Featured_Articles/N2/Mario_%28series%29 Super Mario (series)]. But guess what, none of them succeeded. It was much worse back then, with Luigi's nominaiton going for ''years'' before finally being shut down because of stagnation. Guys, chill, once we hit December 15 sometime, the nomination will fail. {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:24, 15 November 2014 (EST)
