#{{User|Time Turner}} Similarly to [[Baby Donkey Kong]], the whole article feels... bare. Also, the History section often puts away focus from the Shadow Queen to give exposition or details, which shouldn't be the case since this is an article about the Shadow Queen. The first part of the Personality section gets a bit too flowery ("ruthless and humorless"?), and this kind of writing pops up a bit too much throughout the article for me to be comfortable with calling this an FA, even regardless of its bareness. Per all of my comments opposing this nomination.

#{{User|Vommack}} To quote Ashley's latest revision(at time of this vote): "It has some bad sentences,[...]" The point of a featured article is to be the best the Wiki has to offer, and much of this article drops into awkward wording. The lack of focus in history and irrelevant exposition still remains as well.
#{{User|Fandro}} Per Time Turner.

:::::::"creating an army of demonic beasts", "most vicious attacks", "in disgust of his beliefs", "When in a dire circumstances", "subduing the entire world"... Just through a quick glance, I can spot several instances of flowery writing, which is against our [[MarioWiki:Good_Writing#Epic.2C_flowery_and_grimdark_writing|standards]] for [[MarioWiki:Good writing|good writing]] It also tries to [[MarioWiki:Good_Writing#Trying_to_fuse_game_mechanics_and_story_elements|fuse]] game mechanics with story elements, which, as I linked to, isn't good. Just go to the page I linked to, cross-reference it with this article, and then you'll see what needs to be fixed. {{User|Time Turner}}
