Pass/Fail:

"fighting against the mad scientist Dr. Wily" - don't need to have two wikilinks together in succession
- Fixed. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"While the game was praised for its graphics and sound being similar to the NES games" - repetition of "game(s)"
- Changed to title. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink Mega Man the character on the first instance
- Done. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't Nintendo Entertainment System be written in just the acroynms?
- Sure. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilink continues and lives to the relevant articles for those who do not know what they mean
- Done. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Briefly explain who Dr. Cossack is to the uninformed
- Explained. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both uses of the % symbol in the prose should be written as per cent per MOS:PERCENT
- Done. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Consider adding the names of the GamePro and Mean Machines reviewers in the prose as they have in the sources
- The GamePro name is a pseudonym so not sure what to say about that besides what I added. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Did Mean Machines give any review other than reward a 75% rating?
- Added some more in that part. GamerPro64 17:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"with complete copies going for $400." - the RetroGamer source says it is $200 not $400
- Not sure how that happened. Fixed. GamerPro64 03:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Because of the game's North American exclusivity, copies of the game garner a high price point," - repetition of the word "game"
- Changed. GamerPro64 03:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 2's dates are written in the hexadecimal format rather than the month, day, and year format
Same issue for all the dates in Reference 6
- Done for both. GamerPro64 01:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
