#{{User|Bazooka Mario}} Yeah, the writing is not great. I think the sample sentence isn't horrible, but there are worse ones. "On the way, he is saved from the dangerous inhabitants of Jade Jungle twice by Mario[...]"; "This paradox of courage and inability to fight is clearly shown when Kolorado attempts to help Mario in fighting the Lava Piranha; although he rushes courageously at the monster, he is easily beat back without so much as laying a hand on him." I like how the opening sentence says something like, "Kolorado is brave, famous, slightly foolish, adventurer and he also as a mustache". "Mario helps the distraught Kolorado by defeating the burly Koopa[...]". The writing reminds me somewhat of the [[Yoshi]] article with its overuse of adjectives and "unnecessarily frilly descriptions", like using "the overjoyed explorer" rather than plain "Kolorado" and "he". Time Turner is correct, the quotes are strewn with little rhyme or reason, and Kolorado is actually surprisingly lacking in the quotes department. For bulking the beginning paragraph, the trivia section can be merged there, and that last trivia point is so vague and lacking that it could've not been there. | #{{User|Bazooka Mario}} Yeah, the writing is not great.

Kolorado
Remove Featured Article Status
- Time Turner (talk) It's amazing how many words have been used for a character who only appears once, and they're not even good words. It's overly flowery ("He is scooped up at the last minute by Misstar, and the band of adventurers narrowly escape from the volcano as it finally erupts"), overly speculative (basically the whole background and personality), and overly unfocused (the entire article reads like the adventures of Mario with guest star Kolorado), which is an immediate strike for me. The intro is surprisingly short and what little information is there doesn't cover Kolorado all that much, the quotes in the middle of the article are there for no reason, the multiple letters involving Kolorado are barely mentioned, and Russ T.'s description of him isn't referenced in the slightest. Somehow, this article is guilty of too much and too little at the same time.
