Nominating an article page

Hello, if you decide to nominate an article, be sure to read this section to add it properly. L151

Before you nominate, I have some concerns I was about to place in the comments section, but consider this before you nominate Super Mario 3D World to be featured.

You need to format your nominations correctly: that means no space, capitalize the title, and use #{{User|Nintendofan1653}} to vote. Reflecting the lack of formatting and proper punctuation: there seems to be little thought put into the nomination itself, so I'll have to take the time to actually look at this article. The first and biggest flaw that strikes me in this article is the abuse of tables that leave out lots of empty space; I'm using only a narrow resolution and the tables still leave behind a lot of white space; not good. The World descriptions themselves are misleading, since the levels themselves generally do not follow the world design. The character tables look horrendous with large amounts of empty space and will probably be better in prose or in Super Mario Bros. 2's format. The transformations and worlds section are also poorly designed and probably are done better in a plain gallery format with a simple link to the power-up item that grants it. Also, if we have a special section for power-ups, why do we have a plain list for support items such as Potted Piranha Plant, Propeller Box, and Cannon Box? The controls table also looks horrendous, similar to the previous table in Mario Kart 8, so the article should take note of the controls section in Mario Kart 8. The gameplays section should be broken into subsections for easier reading and navigation through the article. If it doesn't have egregious amount of tables, it has long lists, which again, doesn't look very presentable. Finally, the empty sections contain barely any interesting information, just lazily summarizing stuff from the articles themselves. I suppose the article isn't terrible, but it needs a lot of work before we can even consider it to be featured, and I'd support a veto if that's possible. Mario^-HOHO!
