Overall

@Kung Fu Man: Everything looking good but before passing it.

Is the infobox necessary? Polygon Man seems to be more of a mascot than a character. Kinda like Segata Sanshiro but even less appearances
I'd argue yes: he was designed as a fictional character first and meant to be used more, really he's just missing a voice actor. Given Segata has appeared in multiple games I'm surprised he *doesn't* have one.
I'd shorten the second paragraph from the lead in favor of generalizations and remove references
Fixed, I think?
In video games is kinda short in respect to game appearances and important information so I'd suggest moving to history at least as a subsection.
Made a subsection of History
I'd rearrange a bit the reception paragraphs at least in terms of his role in the crossover game considering it's one of the most notable appearances. That's all.Tintor2 (talk) 23:06, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That one I'll leave simply because it's meant to be negative about the campaign, then negative about PASBR (since it's such a big ref) and then positive about both for flow?

Hope I got everything there.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good work. I'd trim video games more considering it doesn't really say anything about the thing.Tintor2 (talk) 23:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
