==== Support ====
#{{User|Tails777}} I've compared the article now to when it was first nominated and there is a huge, but good difference. The article has tons of information, no improvement tags, sub sections have preview content and the tables have pictures and a decent amount of info in them. I'd say the article looks pretty good and feature worthy. Any issues spring up and I'll see what I can do.

==== Oppose ====
#{{User|Yoshi876}} I find the bosses and mini-bosses inconsistent with other tables in the article as they could easily include an image of that boss, I also feel that like with many other FAs ([[Yoshi's Island DS]], [[Donkey Kong Country]]) the enemies could put into a table with its name, an image of it and a brief description of its attacking patterns. Also the staff section should be converted into a paragraph instead of a list so it's not a simple copy-pasta from the main article. Notify me when these are done and I will happily convert my vote.
#{{User|Time Turner}} Per Yoshi. Also, here are some missing bits: besides a one-off line in the Bonus Barrel section, [[Bonus Area|Bonus Stages]] aren't mentioned in any capacity, which includes all of its minigames, and considering the sixteen of them show up multiple times throughout the game, it's probably worth detailing; neither [[Wrinkly Kong]] nor her [[Wrinkly Doors]] are mentioned at all; the [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]] and their [[Banana Fairy Princess|Princess]] get namedropped a bunch of times, but they're really not fleshed out; actually, a lot of the minor/supporting characters, from [[Snide]] to [[Troff]] and [[Scoff]] to the [[Worm (character)|Worm]], are only mentioned offhandedly; and so on and so forth. I don't have much knowledge with the game, but I'm reading the guide and most of this is early-page stuff, so it seems to me that they're worth mentioning.
#{{User|Burningdragon25}} Per Yoshi!

This article needs to be moved to MarioWiki:Featured Articles/N/Donkey Kong 64. Anyway, the article looks good! I don't know what other problems it may have that's just my first glance. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 02:45, 20 April 2015 (EDT)

There's a pretty big problem: the staff section is just random content copied from the target page.

Also as a word of advice if someone tries to fix the section due to this FA nom: when users try to fill out staff sections on game articles, they usually end up just being a succession of "[Name] was the X and, Name did the music, and Name was another X" etc, which, while "better" from a content perspective, is not interesting or useful at all. When writing staff sections, make links or give some context - say if the game was developed by most of the key staff as the previous installemnts or not, say if the game was the first/last work of someone who was important to the series, or on the contrary, if the game was the one Mario/DK/Wario game someone more famous for other things was involved in, [[Donkey Kong Country#Staff|give additional info on who did what]]... etc. If you're not familiar with dev teams, mobygame's "People who have worked on this game have also collaborated on the creation of the following games" feature at the end of [http://www.mobygames.com/game/n64/donkey-kong-64/credits their game credit ages] provide a great base. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 11:07, 20 April 2015 (EDT)

@Yoshi876: Your listed improvements have been added, with a few images needed so I'll get on that. But other than that, I'd say the article is pretty good. Thoughts? {{User:Tails777/sig}}
:Looks a lot better, an image of Cranky's Lab may be needed. I'll give the article a full read through over the weekend and provided there aren't any major issues I will remove my vote then. {{User|Yoshi876}}

@Time Turner: I don't think this article needs to get into too much detail on bonus stages. I'd say it can be mentioned with slightly more detail in the Bonus Barrel part, but I don't know if we need to have a whole section for it since every minigame is mentioned in the Bonus Stage article itself. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
