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, ! JOE  BRO  64  00:43, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * OK done. TarkusAB talk 03:10, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Great! Let's get this article promoted. JOE  BRO  64  11:03, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
