   Pass/Fail:

Gameplay

• Mighty the Armadillo is a redirect link and needs to be directly linked to List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters#Mighty the Armadillo
  • I don't think this is really necessary, per WP:NOTBROKEN: "It is almost never helpful to replace [[redirect]] with [[target|redirect]]."
• "A bonus is awarded if the player collects over a certain percentage of rings within a level." It would better off to the casual reader if you explained what exactly this bonus is.
  • Done.
• "Upon the reaching Eggman at the end of the game" - remove the first the which is denoted in bold text
  • Done.

Development and release

• Similar to Mighty the Armadillo, Sega System 32 is a redirect link that needs tending to
  • See my previous response about WP:NOTBROKEN.
• "The game was featured at the Summer International Consumer Electronics Show 1993 and the Amusement Machine Show 1993, being released worldwide in arcades the same year." - I believe this sentence would be better off written as The game was featured at the Summer International Consumer Electronics Show 1993 and the Amusement Machine Show 1993. It was released worldwide in arcades the same year.
  • Done.
• Is there anything in the sources that states the exact reason why the 32X port was not released?
  • No, just that it was planned. No more details have surfaced.

Reception and legacy

• "praising its "superb" graphics, "awesome" music," - this section of text coan be worded slightly better. How about reserving high praise for its graphics and music,?
  • Done.
• "Ray never appeared in any subsequent games,[16] but he and Mighty would both be featured in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series published by Archie Comics." - change this so it reads as follows Ray never appeared in any subsequent games, but he and Mighty were both featured in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series published by Archie Comics.
  • Done.

References

• Add page numbers for references 2, 12 and 14
  • Done.

That is all from me. The article is looking in good shape overall but the review will be put on hold until all the issues raised above have been addressed. MWright96 (talk) 19:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
