message: The following two phrases should be removed from the article:
1) "It has sold approximately 4.67 million copies worldwide"
2) "In the United States, the game was the seventh best-selling Nintendo GameCube title as of October 2006, according to the NPD Group."
Neither of these phrases are accurate.
The article accurately states that Double Dash sold 3.8 million in North America and accurately states that it sold an additional 802,000 in Japan. The assessment that the game "has sold approximately 4.67 million copies worldwide", however, is not accurate. The 4.67 million figure was obviously obtained by adding the North American and Japanese sales numbers together. This number clearly doesn't take into account sales figures from Europe or other territories, and suggesting that the 4.67 million figure represents "worldwide" sales is not accurate. Therefore, the sentence "It has sold approximately 4.67 million copies worldwide" should be removed from the article.
The article also suggests that game was the seventh best-selling Nintendo GameCube title as of October 2006. The link provided suggests that the game was the seventh best-selling game IN October 2006. It does not, however, suggest that the game was the best selling game AS OF October 2006. These are two completely different things.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CoolioMcAwesome (talk • contribs) 16:56, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Support: Not sure I would ever have noticed this without it being pointed out, but it makes no sense to use this character when !! conveys the exact same information, doesn't cause problems for those using non-unicode browsers/fonts, and reflects usage on the game's official website.

*I have recently noticed that having two exclamations marks instead of the single unicode character of a double exclamation breaks a few things, specifically in tables. I think that may have been the reasoning behind the initial move to that title. If there are no objections I will consider changing it back so it doesn't break wikicode. For a specific example, see List of Mario racing games's history. Salvidrim! 05:53, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

text: *Yea, so, after it broke another table I moved it back to the unicode character. Sorry for the time it took. I'll also take it up to VPT. :) ·Salvidrim!· ✉ 23:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Upon stumbling upon the above article, I reviewed the article, and...It's fallen a long ways since being made a WP:GA in 2012. The article is in rough shape, well below GA standards. There's all sort of unsourced content, trivia, sloppy stuff, etc. I'm going to try to clean it up a bit, but I don't know time I'll end up having. Others may want to jump in as well if its necessary - if someone one put it through a WP:GAR today, it'd fail for sure as is... Sergecross73 msg me 18:24, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: , you are right, the article has aged terribly and nothing was bothered about correcting the errors, which is why it needs its GAR. 2801:1CA:E:1411:BCBF:F879:7471:FE58 (talk) 20:52, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
