After a round of cleanup and a heated search for sources, I'm nominating this for GA. Let me know if there are any objections. – czar 23:49, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like a very well done article. I would pass it already but there are some things I would like to change:

The lead is too short and fails WP:Lead. Expand it to at least two paragraphs and it may work.
The infobox references only date. I can see the development section already cites the other references so it should be mantained consistent.
The reference "Rare, ed. (1986), Slalom Instruction Booklet, Redmond, WA: Nintendo" looks a bit out of place. Seperate it from the others. I would suggest using Zero (Mega Man)#References as an example.

And that's all. Good work

@Tintor2, thanks for the review! What parts do you feel are missing from the lede? I thought it summarized the major points of Gameplay, Dev, and Reception. I think I got the other stuff, if you'll take a look. – czar 20:48, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- GA passed. CongratsTintor2 (talk) 03:30, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
