I'll take this one. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 22:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I would say ALT1 is more interesting. Also, I don't see the exact text that proves this hook. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough... then again, this is the first time I've reviewed a DYK nomination... TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 04:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

• TrademarkedTWOrantula, I would agree that ALT1 is more interesting, I would be willing to strike ALT0. The source material for ALT0 is under the third/fourth paragraph after "Conventions" where the developers said they took inspiration from Mario party, and then the sixth paragraph confirms that this inspiration helped with the game mode "Roulette" also known as "Chester's Choice".

• @The Night Watch: I can't see the evidence that proves ALT1. And yes, you can strike ALT0. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 00:23, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
  • @TrademarkedTWOrantula:, it's there in the last paragraph of the IGN article. all of which were stretch goals on the original Shovel Knight Kickstarter campaign... The Night Watch (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Looks like you're good to go. Article is new enough, long enough, well referenced with reliable sources, and no copyvios spotted. Approving ALT1. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 00:32, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
