Number of stages in Arkista's Ring.

Arkista's Ring always displays the number of the next stage on the screen before the stages themselves. There are 31 stages, after which the player returns to a previous place in the end, then the game goes on and repeats the very first stage which is explicitly stated as "stage 32" within the game.

There is a discrepancy between the progress explained above and the Wikipedia article, which is not consistent either, since one part mentions 32 basic and 128, yet another part, 125 total number of stages. Aquir (talk) 06:34, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to make this change, as Aquir's information is correct. The manual states 125 stages with repetition after stage 32, but in fact there are 124 stages with repetition after stage 31. 98.235.202.85 (talk) 00:22, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable source

The second reference (Krieg, Andrew. "NES Rarity List". Retrieved January 30, 2013) doesn't look very reliable. It's a personal site that hasn't been updated since 1998, and the rarity ratings given to games seems to be based on the personal experience of the authors. Since the only reason it's cited is to claim that this game is considered "rare," I wonder if it shouldn't be removed along with the sentence for which it's cited. 98.235.202.85 (talk) 20:09, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and remove the source and the sentence for which it's cited, for the reasons I mentioned above. 98.235.202.85 (talk) 00:15, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
