User:Lazman321/Source check/Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash

Below, I will be doing a spot check of thirty random sources. I will be focusing on verifiability and reliability. I won't be focusing on the formatting, style, or whether the information is due weight.


 * 43 - There are 56 other amiibos aside from the Chibi-Robo one according to the source, not 57.
 * 17 - First use: The source does not say that snacks can be traded with toys for costumes; it says the snacks can be given to hidden characters for moolah and an advertisement. Also, it does not say that every world has a toy that will trade for a snack, only that the snacks can be given to hidden characters. Second use: Pass. Third use: Pass.
 * 55 - Pass
 * 26 - Takamasa Saitou was a game designer, not Shingo Kabaya. You even credit Saitou in the infobox and citation. I also recommend replacing "The game's lead designers include Yuki Watanabe..." to "The game's development team included designers Yuki Watanabe..." and specifying the location of the quote in the citation (this one goes for any citation to the game).
 * 11 - First use: Pass. Second use: Pass. Third use: The review actually criticized the game for being too easy and monotonous, not for being inconsistent in difficulty. Fourth use: Pass.
 * 58 - As per Wikiproject Video Games's source list, Game Rant is not a high-quality source, meaning it will have to be removed as per the Featured Article Criteria. Also, neither it nor citation 57 verify that the image is of Chibi-Robo using the flame ability; they say the image is of Chibi-Robo on fire.
 * 24 - Pass
 * 15 - First use: The review does not say that the boss level opens up after the six side-scrolling levels are completed, nor does it say that the Boss Wheel determines the difficulty of said boss. Second use: Pass. Third use: Pass.
 * 35 - Pass
 * 60 - The source does not say that the firey Chibi-Robo becoming a meme was representative of the community's excitement for Nintendo Direct.
 * 40 - Maybe this was a writing mistake, but saying that the amiibo "could only be made available by bundling it with the game" implies that bundling the amiibo with the game was the only way Nintendo could release the amiibo, which is not verified by the source.
 * 14 - Does not verify information about the trash collection at all. Also doesn't state that the player uses in-game currency to purchase figures from the Toy Machine
 * 42 - Pass
 * 56 - Unneeded; it does not augment the information about Skip's potential closing which was already supported by the Nintendo Life source.
 * 36 - Neither this source nor citation 6 supports that Nintendo presented the game during E3's "Digital Event".
 * 59 - It seems to me that there was speculation of an upcoming Nintendo Direct before the tweet. Also, the source does not mention that there was speculation of an announcement of an upcoming Chibi Robo game.
 * 21 - First use: The sources do not say which producers were series producers and which one was a newcomer. Second use: Pass. Third use: Tanabe says that the game could be the last entry in the series, but does not say it will be the last entry if it has poor sales. Fourth use: Pass. Fifth use: Pass. Sixth use: Tanabe does not mention the amiibo at all. All the article says is that the game comes with an amiibo figure.
 * 52 - Remove "older"
 * 46 - First use: Pass. Second use: Pass.
 * 50 - First use: Pass. Second use: Does not say the game is forgettable; being forgettable is not the same as being dull or underwhelming. Third use: Pass. Fourth use: Pass.
 * 39 - I'd recommend replacing this source for the purposes of this candidacy. Gaming Age is marked as a situational source by Wikiproject Video Games's source list, with Thibbs in the most recent discussion declaring that the reliability of the articles depends on the creditentials of their author. The author of this article, Paul Bryant, does not appear to have any creditentials, so this probably isn't a high-quality source.
 * 20 - Pass
 * 2 - First use: The review does say that the Whip Lash can be used to grab items or surfaces. Second use: Pass. Third use: Does not say the game is forgettable. Fourth use: Pass. Fifth use: Pass.
 * 33 - Pass
 * 13 - First use: All information in the section prior to the statement of the Chibi-House being a hub is unverified by the source. Second use: Pass. Third use: Pass. Fourth use: Pass.
 * 38 - Pass
 * 37 - The article does not verify the specific release dates of the game. Come to think of it, all you would have to do is remove this source, and the next source, which is from Hardcore Gamer, would verify the specific release dates.
 * 9 - First use: The review does not specify that the elemental powers are given by red and blue sockets. Second use: 6/10, not 3/5. Third use: Pass. Fourth use: The review does not say that the game "underused the levels' surroundings", nor is the quote "no real sense of scale" located in either of the attached sources.
 * 29 - Hirofumi Taniguchi, Kiyoshi Hazemoto, and Soshiro Hokkai were credited as "Sound" (or "Sound Lead" in the case of Taniguchi), not as composers.
