Overall: 
Fine for DYK. I admit to seeing many grammar issues that make me wonder about its GA status, though, as that's a much higher bar. Examples:
- Singular/plural disagreements, multiple cases:
- "In the game, the player control" - controls, surely?
- "Gameplay follow Mario" - follows?
- Puzzling choice of voice: "and a battle will engage"
- "revered", several uses - (for example, " Although the game was met with poor reception when it was leaked, it was revered at the official revealing"; "The game's simplified combat system and structure were revered") - reverence (emotion) is "a feeling or attitude of deep respect tinged with awe; veneration" - for a brand new video game? Doubtful.
- Strange word choices: "The level is completed if all enemies are defeated or the fixed objective is justified, or lose a battle when all characters run out of health"- objective is justified? or lose a battle?
- player/character confusion
- "players have the choice to alter their current selection of players" - what?
- * " each character can ... use a weapon, and have two choices of attack that vary per player; " - per character, surely?
- a selection of 8 characters with a limit of three - strange word choice and MOS:NUMERAL
- Uncertain antecedent: "Levels are divided into chapters, and each chapter usually contains three levels. When a chapter is completed, they receive coins and "Skill Orbs", - they? The chapter receives coins?
- "while also encountering allies both old and Rabbid"? Rabbid is an adjective of allies, as opposed to old?
- " the group celebrate by presenting a large statue of Rabbid Peach." - presenting to whom?
- "he requested him to sign a copy" - he requested Miyamoto sign a copy?
- "After a long run of Rabbids video games developed by Ubisoft meanwhile, Xavier Manzanares, a Ubisoft brand producer, began to think ahead about the future" - remove "meanwhile", and "ahead", both redundant?
- "Manzanares began to conceptualize games that weren't the typical genre they were familiar with. - whom does "they" refer to?
- "and lost morale, which caused Soliani to further emphasize a unique experience because of it. " - what does "further emphasize a unique experience" mean? I know what each of those words mean individually, but together they seem to turn into meaningless marketing jargon.
- the companies morale was greatly boosted - put an apostrophe somewhere, depending on whether singular or plural was meant
- According to Soliani, the initial plan was to release about 1–2 hours of additional content. After the praise of the game after its reveal, Soliani decided to add as much content as possible, with cutscenes, worlds, and gameplay totaling about half of the base game in all. - this seems to be an error in type; how can worlds take up half the time of a game? Surely file size is meant?
- "Soliani wanted the new content to be completely offset from the original game" - completely different from?
- "PCMag considered this to be due to the lack of complex statistics and probability, and rather favored simplistic "coin-flip" chances" - what? The game favored coin flips, or PCMag appreciated that it did or ... what?
- Kirkhope was initially skeptical on the purpose of this offer - of the purpose?
This is just from a single pass, I worry I did not get them all. Any chance you can ask for a grammar review, maybe from the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors? GRuban (talk) 22:04, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, GRuban! Despite doing this for the sake of a quid pro quo, I'm glad you checked the prose thoroughly. I don't blame the GA reviewer for this, as this is slight stuff I could've easily taken care of prior to nominating the article. I'll give it another readthrough and ping you here when I finish.
