I'll take this one up.

Lead

• Overall, the lead summarizes the article well, but I think the second paragraph is a bit weighty compared to the first one.
  • OK I shortened it.

Gameplay

• If my understanding is correct, doesn't the game take place behind the scenes of a puppet show? If this is accurate, I'd mention this.
  • I don't know if that's true. I've heard similar things, but I haven't found a source that states this. The game definitely has a puppet world vibe going though, which is mentioned. If you have a source, let me know.
• Gameplay otherwise is well-written and explains the gameplay.

Development and release

• I think the other release dates need to be referenced here, and to clarify that the August release date was the Japanese launch day.
  • Added info and sources
• The compilation includes all versions of Dynamite Headdy released on all three Sega platforms across all regions.[8][7][9] Shift the second ref across to be first.
  • Done. 78.144.82.158 (talk) 19:50, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
• For GA standards, I think the development is good, but if you plan on FACing this, you'll need to bombard it with more information. Try finding developer interviews or old magazine previews.
  • Yea this is about it for readily accessible information. Remaining information is locked away in Japanese print resources, which I have but will take some effort to translate. I don't plan on taking to FA, at least anytime soon.

Reception

• The Hardcore Gamer 101 article below describes the reception as "critical acclaim". I'd say that's pretty accurate looking at the review table.
  • Added
• Journalists repeatedly highlighted the game's creativity as a strong point.[14][12][18][17] Citations need switching around (should be 12, 14, 17, 18)
  • Done. 78.144.82.158 (talk) 19:59, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
• Critics found the Game Gear port to be well done given the system's less powerful technology.[20][21][19] Last citation needs to be first.
  • Done. 78.144.82.158 (talk) 19:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Sources

• Nothing of concern.
• This Hardcore Gamer 101 piece might be worth including.
  • It was already included, it is a great piece

Overall, this article is pretty close to the GA standards, but needs some minor tweaks. Thus, I am placing this review on hold. Great job overhauling this article, TarkusAB! JOEBRO64 00:43, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

@TheJoebro64: Thanks for the review. Been pretty busy lately but will try and get to this (and Sonic Advance) within the next few days. TarkusAB^talk 02:22, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
