I will review this over today and tomorrow! --K. Peake 07:28, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• To avoid a run-on, I would suggest ending the second sentence after the mention of the 2020 commercial

•  Done

• Start a new sentence at "Speedstar Records released it..."

•  Done

• "the track, and" → "the song, and"
• Wikilink Super Mario

• This refers to the video game that is linked before. Clarified this

• Second paragraph looks good!
• "directed the music video for "Create" using" → "directed an accompanying music video using" and I would suggest merging this para with the above one since three sentences each is too short

• I think 'accompanying' is implied. I would prefer keeping seperate paragraphs since these discuss distinct aspects: reception and promotion.

Background and release

• "and keyboard,[3] aided by" → "and keyboards,[3] aided by"

•  Done

• Second and third para look good!

Writing

• Img looks good!
• "who arranged and" → "who co-arranged and" per the source

• Since there are two people mentioned, "co" is implied

• The completion and remix pieces of information are not sourced
• Shouldn't the ref at the end of the messing around sentence link to page 2?

• There is information needed from both pages. I have implemented Template:rp as a solution

• Songs being part of what was jammed is not sourced, nor is the name Mario session
• None of the last sentence is sourced

• It appears I mixed up my sources quite a bit here. There was another Real Sound interview which I confused for the one sourced. I believe all citations lead to the right places now.

Composition and lyrics

• Audio sample is too long, also remove included in sample from the end since this is implied

•  Done

• Digital piano is not mentioned by the source

• Rhodes piano and Nord Electro are digital pianos

• "Hoshino additionally provided" → "Hoshino additionally provides"

•  Done

• Link mixed to Audio mixing (recorded music)
• Upbeat is not sourced

• 「そのアッパーなテンション感にもなんだか久しぶりに出会う感じがする」

• Remove the comma after 8-bit music

•  Done

• The flashing and B-dashing quote is not sourced

• 「8ビットサウンドがスターを取ったマリオみたいにキラキラ光りながらBダッシュする3分54秒」

• The word dull is not sourced

• Changed to "increasingly stagnant".「〈澱むこの世界〉の閉塞感を前にして、〈途方もない　学びを繰り返し〉ながらとにかく〈遊ぶ〉んだ、と星野はここで告げている」

• Fire Flower itself is not mentioned by the source

•  Removed

• The full line for hanafuda is not sourced

•  Fixed

• The lines quoted about his subarachnoid hemorrhage do not match the source

• Translation of lyrics is taken from the official website

Reception

• Img looks good!
• First para looks good!
• The words "hectic" and "illuminating" are not sourced, unless my translator is faulty?

• Hectic is sourced (「目まぐるしく展開させていく本曲」), "illuminating" was "imaginative", which I must have misread

• The vibraphone jingle is sourced as "an indescribable 'otherworldly' feeling" on my translator

• This is exactly what is in the article.

• I don't think writing "some critics" is suitable when it is only Tomohiro Ogawa and maybe the next one critic in this para who are sourced as saying this; re-word to mentioning Ogawa here suitably

• RockinOn is also sourced here. We do not need to mention the exact works of multiple critics if one sufficies, but we can still highlight that it was a shared opinion

• "It reached tenth on the" → "The song reached tenth on the"

• Song appears in the following sentence so this breaks up repetition. "It" does also appear in the previous sentence, but the short-length of "it" makes it far less repetetive.

Music video and performances

• "Hoshino sings and performs" → "Hoshino sings as he performs"

•  Done

• "performs Satoru Iwata's pose" → "performs Iwata's pose"

• Iwata is mentioned more than three paragraphs earlier, and only in passing. I would not expect readers to remember the name and "Iwata" alone is too ambiguous to look up

• The tricky progression and exclamation parts do not appear to be sourced

• 「複雑でトリッキーな曲の展開について星野が「大丈夫ですかね？（笑）」とバンドメンバーに確認するひと幕も。」「バンドメンバーが奏でるアウトロが止むと、「できたぞ！ 素晴らしい」と笑顔を弾けさせ」(Natalie)

Final comments and verdict

• On hold until all of the issues are fixed; sorted your review out this evening! --K. Peake 18:34, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

• @Kyle Peake: Thanks for the review once again. Though I have not piped links per WP:NOTBROKEN, I believe all issues have been adressed. IanTEB (talk) 00:00, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

• IanTEB You should change the track to the song in the lead for consistency, also change to Iwata only on second mention per WP:SURNAME as this is not a large article. --K. Peake 07:34, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

  @Kyle Peake: I do not believe that the use of a synonym ("track"/"song") is a consistency error. In fact, track is in this case more appropriate since it is used in a sentence that discusses production. WP:SURNAME is to avoid repetetive use of full names, as evidenced by the example used in the policy page, and not the kind of case here (see WP:IGNORE). IanTEB (talk) 11:10, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

• @IanTEB: I still disagree with you on the one surname point since this is only a few sections later in a short article, so the full name is not needed twice. --K. Peake 20:22, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

  @Kyle Peake: I disagree since this is not such a case that SURNAME is intended for, but I have changed shortened Iwata's name. IanTEB (talk) 22:02, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

•  Pass now, I understand you at this point! --K. Peake 07:20, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
