Hey, well done for the article! This is so well-written and well-sourced and you have done truly an amazing job! I also have to say that the reception section is probably the best reception I have ever seen on Wikipedia - you should be so proud! This is the first video game GA I have reviewed so I hope I did well. Earwig shows no copryight violations and I cannot see any major issues. Here are my comments/suggestions; I am not trying to nitpick, I am just trying to clarify things for readers unfamiliar with video games etc and trying to make the article even better.

1. The lead is great but a little small - could you please expand it slightly? Also, the paragraphs are extremely small, so I would recommend merging them into one (or two at most)
2. "as a spinoff title in the Kirby series" - This is technically not directly mentioned in the main body - could you try including it more clearly in the main body of the article or maybe rewording the lead sentnece?
3. Are there any free images that could be used in the article? Perhaps of Kirby, food or Shinya Kumazaki?
4. Could you please write a sentence in the main article saying who the Developer, director and artists for the game are, and then move the refs from the infobox to the main body?
5. Could you please briefly describe what/who the "Dream Fork" is?
6. "The player characters can be controlled by human players or artificial intelligence (AI), with the latter having four difficulty levels" - I was a bit confused by this - does this mean that there is a mode where human players just watch it happen or that they can play with AI?
7. Is there a way to clarify or link "small stage" in the context of the game?
8. "which can be displayed on a cake" - Is it possible to explain what the cake is/where it is presented?
9. "Conversely, Kirstin Swalley of Hardcore Gamer believed that the "endearing and wonderful gameplay" was the game's biggest draw" - As this has a quote, this needs a source at the end of the sentence
10. Could you please replace "biggest draw" with something else (e.g. "biggest advantage"/"best part of the game" etc) to make it clear to readers?
11. Since it is featured in the reception section, is there any information on the game's price that could be featured in the article?
12. Is there any information on international release?

Once these have been addressed, I will do a Source spotcheck and pass the article :) Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help at all! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 08:12, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Thank you for the prompt review!

1. I've expanded each paragraph in the lede to include more info about the game's objectives, its close release to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, etc.
2. Now mentioned in the development and release section
3. Added a licensed photo of Kumazaki to the development and release section
4. Now mentioned in the development and release section; I've also removed the corresponding references from the infobox.
5. Unfortunately, I couldn't really find any other info about the Dream Fork; it's apparently just an inexplicably magical fork that has only appeared in this game.
6. Clarified that each player character can be controlled by either a human or AI
7. "stage" was basically used interchangeably with "level", which is linked toward the beginning of the gameplay section; I've changed every instance of "stage" to "level" for more consistency and less confusion.
8. Clarified that the cake is present in the game's hub world
9. Added the citation for Swalley's quote
10. Replaced "biggest draw" with "biggest attraction"
11. Mentioned that the game cost $15 or £13.49 in the development and release section
12. Couldn't find much additional info on international release, though I did learn that eight Kirby plushies based on the game were released in 2023; I added this to the development and release section. (I happen to have one of these plushies!)

If anything else is needed, just give me the word! ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 20:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey, thank you so so much for your changes and being so nice! I have source spotchecked Sources #3, #17, #22, #25 and #40. I am going to pass this article – Well done! Please let me know if you nominate any other articles for GA as I'd love to review them! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:39, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
