#{{User|Mario}} This article, ever since it has been featured, has always been in my skeptical crosshairs. This article does meet every requirement, but beyond that... that's it. It suffers nearly the same issues [[MarioWiki:Featured Articles/Unfeature/N/New Super Mario Bros.|New Super Mario Bros.]] (a so-far succeeding unfeaturing nomination at the moment of this writing) has. As New Super Mario Bros., this article has an overreliance on lists, which is the ''bare minimum'' for complete information. The beginning part is not great with a story section cramped with images, the introductory paragraph being a bit too short. I guess the next few sections are all right, but "Yoshi's Moves", my god, the layout is just bad. Oh, and the babies, the powerups, and the machines are lumped with this. I think just a "gameplay" section can replace "Yoshi's Moves", but that's going to take some overhaul. "Items and Objects" is the fine example of "bare minimum" with minimal effort. Here's a blurb: ''Yoshi eggs are Yoshi's main weapon.'' Wow. And no information on Flowers OR Red Coins, essential collectibles. Brilliant. The latter part of this article is the worst part by far, though, offering little-to-no information for readers other than "Hey, this appeared in this game". If you have no idea what an enemy are called, looking it up via this "helpful" featured article is a guessing click game. The "Worlds and Levels" section is handled in the bare minimum fashion as well and offers detailed, informative writing as "[World 1] is a plain and serves as an introductory world." The Staff empty section is handled in the most lazy way that our own [[MarioWiki:Empty sections|policy]] discourages it. Finally, the lack of a reception section, much less, a lengthy one, not only bolsters its bareness, but it's incomplete as well. Overall, this article is only decent at best, but it's still a bleh. Definitely not featured article material.

#{{User|Ninelevendo}} Things like the babies section are better, but the whole article needs an overhaul. Per Mario.
