== Tracks == |
|||
The Track Section is needless game guide information. It serves no real purpose here. I'm removing it. [[User:DurinsBane87|DurinsBane87]] ([[User talk:DurinsBane87|talk]]) 18:29, 10 March 2009 (UTC) |
|||
== Reception == |
|||
The following two phrases should be removed from the article: |
|||
1) "It has sold approximately 4.67 million copies worldwide" |
|||
2) "In the United States, the game was the seventh best-selling Nintendo GameCube title as of October 2006, according to the NPD Group." |
|||
Neither of these phrases are accurate. |
|||
The article accurately states that Double Dash sold 3.8 million in North America and accurately states that it sold an additional 802,000 in Japan. The assessment that the game "has sold approximately 4.67 million copies worldwide", however, is not accurate. The 4.67 million figure was obviously obtained by adding the North American and Japanese sales numbers together. This number clearly doesn't take into account sales figures from Europe or other territories, and suggesting that the 4.67 million figure represents "worldwide" sales is not accurate. Therefore, the sentence "It has sold approximately 4.67 million copies worldwide" should be removed from the article. |
|||
The article also suggests that game was the seventh best-selling Nintendo GameCube title as of October 2006. The link provided suggests that the game was the seventh best-selling game IN October 2006. It does not, however, suggest that the game was the best selling game AS OF October 2006. These are two completely different things. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:CoolioMcAwesome|CoolioMcAwesome]] ([[User talk:CoolioMcAwesome|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CoolioMcAwesome|contribs]]) 16:56, 30 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Two small quarms, firstly it says followed by the console releases of mkds and wii. Last I checked I thought the DS was a handheld gaming device, not a console. |
|||
Also someone has written (and cited?) that the power slide technique was improved on its predecessors. Umm, surely thats opinion as I personally prefer mk64s mt'ing.

|||
Changing ‼ to !! ; I do not believe there is any reason to have a technically difficult name (the character is not present on keyboards) in lieu of a more accessible name; especially considering the minute differences and the fact it doesn't change the appearance of the title to readers & editors. I have no seen any justification for the odd use of the ‼ character; the original move on 16 January 2009 by [[User:Kaptincapo|Kaptincapo]] was explained as "(moved Mario Kart: Double Dash!! to Mario Kart: Double Dash‼: unicode)"; there have been notoriously many attempts to move, rename, redirect or otherwise correct the title. <span style="13px Sylfaen;background-color:#000000;padding:0 3px 0 3px;">[[User:Salvidrim|<span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;"><span style="color:white">Salvidrim!</span></span>]]</span> 10:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC) |

: '''Support:''' Not sure I would ever have noticed this without it being pointed out, but it makes no sense to use this character when !! conveys the exact same information, doesn't cause problems for those using non-unicode browsers/fonts, and reflects usage on the game's [http://www.mariokart.com/doubledash/launch/index.html official website]. <span style="font-family: sansation, sans-serif;">'''[[User:AJSham|<span style="color: #000;">AJ</span>]][[User talk:AJSham|<span style="color: #666;">Sham</span>]]'''</span> 13:32, 9 March 2012 (UTC) |

*I have recently noticed that having two exclamations marks instead of the single unicode character of a double exclamation breaks a few things, specifically in tables. I think that may have been the reasoning behind the initial move to that title. If there are no objections I will consider changing it back so it doesn't break wikicode.

== Cleanup effort? == |
|||
Upon stumbling upon the above article, I reviewed the article, and...It's fallen a long ways since being made a [[WP:GA]] in 2012. The article is in rough shape, well below GA standards. There's all sort of unsourced content, trivia, sloppy stuff, etc. I'm going to try to clean it up a bit, but I don't know time I'll end up having. Others may want to jump in as well if its necessary - if someone one put it through a [[WP:GAR]] today, it'd fail for sure as is...

::Please read the prior discussion I linked to above. There's other factors at play. We don't just name articles based on what's on its cover. And we don't usually use things that are strictly stylizations without any actual meaning to them.

:'''Oppose''' per the last time it was brought up. There's no new counterargument other than "it's on the cover art" that falls in line with Wikipedia policy. [[User:ThomasO1989|ThomasO1989]] ([[User talk:ThomasO1989|talk]]) 18:59, 11 June 2025 (UTC) |
