Paper Mario: The Origami King is part of the Paper Mario series, a
good topic. This is identified as among the best series of articles produced by the
Wikipedia community. If you can update or improve it,
please do so.
A: After consensus, the game is described to be a
cross-genre video game; Nintendo labelled the game as action-adventure on the Nintendo eShop, alongside other sources considering it to be so, yet some still consider it to follow the role-playing genre of its predecessors. Because of this, each genre has due weight in the article.

As someone who has never played this game before and knows next to nothing about it, I do not think either of these hooks are particularly strong or "hooky". I do not think it was a good idea to make both hooks about the character Olivia as that does not mean much for people unfamiliar with the game. I would recommend thinking of a different approach.

I was gonna suggest a DYK about Shigeru Miyamoto not being involved with the development process. I would word in a way where people new to the game would still be surprised about it. Hers an example.
Article promoted to GA on day of nom - good, new, long enough. However,
a copyvio check shows up some issues with the use of the [gameinformer.com/preview/2020/06/30/a-new-crease-on-life-nintendo-shares-insight-on-paper-marios-latest-adventure Game Informer source]: it's all direct quotations, but to the point that nearly 50% of the Game Informer article is quoted. I can't get that source to load from earwig to see the context of the original, but the headline says it's an interview and there is more leniency with quoted %age when it's a person's words (i.e. said in an interview) rather than copyrighted text (i.e. creative journalism). So if the nominator could confirm the quotations in the article are from an interview. As for the hooks, looking at ALT3a and ALT4, both are interesting. 3a is preferred since 4 is only mentioned/sourced in a quote box, not prose. Both facts are sourced in line.

Yes, the direct quotations are from the interviews directly; the two quotations are from PCGames and Eurogamer Germany, and quotations in text are mostly from Game Informer. I paraphrased these quotes, but it seems that a copyediting reintroduced some of these quotes back for better wording.

I am not sold on this game warranting the label of
Cross-genre. It is a side entry to the Mario series that doesn't do anything too unfamiliar other than a new style of RPG combat. As the infobox says, it is an RPG Action-Adventure, with simple RPG elements. Debate below and let me know if this isn't protocol.
