====Support====
#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} Exceptional quality picture!
#{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} It's better than the other nominations and it looks right on the main page. Besides, I uploaded it, AND I was about to nominate it.
#{{User|Fawfulfury65}} The sky is pretty.
#{{User|Its-a-me Yoshi!}} It looks so... epic.
#{{User|Commander Code-8}} Great.
#{{User|Homestar Runner}} Per all.
#{{User|Superboo922}} Amazing quality. Per all.
#{{User|DaisyRox02}} It's so cute and the background is so pretty!
#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}} A colourful picture that has great quality.
#{{User|Bowser's luma}} Per all.
#{{User|Yoshi Koshi Moshi}} Cute art style ;) Per all
#{{User|Luigia}} Paper Mario: The thousand year door rocks!!!
#{{User|WigglerWhoopin'Warrior135}} It is really colorful, has a good amount of characters, and amazing quality.
<br clear=all>
 
====Oppose====
#{{User|Propeller Toad}} It's a nice image but the characters seem to be rather small. The background seems too big for the characters (ie the sky).
#{{User|Pichufan93}} The shading seems to be off and per Propeller Toad. Also that one odd section of some characters having a brighter light upon them seems odd (check from peach to the right to some characters).
#{{User|Skitty02}} No offence but we already had two paper mario artworks similar to this one already featured (SPM and PM)..
#{{User|Booderdash}} This is stupid, its EXACTLY the main title screen except photoshopped into some kind of weird blue sky. The main title screen is better looking. The characters are much too small.
#{{User|BluePikminKong497}} Ugly, and hard to see.
#{{User|Baby Mario Bloops}} - The quality of the characters are great, but it is too unbalance with the sky. I think it would be better with the title than without it.
#{{User|Zero777}} I am Zero! Per BMB. Zero signing out.
#{{User|Pixlfreak}} even though I love paper mario as much as I do, this thing needs a title. the sky's becoming to much of an issue, and it looked better with the title in the first place
#{{User|GalacticPetey}} per all
#{{User|New Super Mario}} To small. Per all
#{{User|Fuzzipede27}} Per all.
#{{User|Lu-igi board}} I didn't know this was ripped. That has put me off the image....
#{{User|Dark Bowser}} Per all...
 
====Comments====
Propeller Toad: Well, this image originally came from the title screen, so that's where the title was supposed to go. {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
 
Ah I see! The title would definately complete the pic though I still don't completely support it with the big blotch in the sky (no title) though it is still a rather colourful and nice piece of art. {{User|Propeller Toad}}
 
This isn't photoshopped; it is ripped. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
 
However, when this image has a title, people are going to complain and say that the title looks ugly! ''points to Mario Party 6 artwork''. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
::I complained about the Mario Party 6 artwork because it didn't need a title. It had characters in a good spot. Also, the title covered much of the characters that it blocked a lot of the interesting stuff. The title with be above the main stuff, filling in the sky that has ''nothing'' in it. {{User|Baby Mario Bloops}}
:::I like the sky. It's pretty. 0.0 {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
::::Its pretty much the main thing about the picture. {{User|Booderdash}}
::::: The New Super Mario Bros. Wii has a lot of ground in the picture, yet barely anyone opposed. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
:::::: I never saw that one. {{User|Booderdash}}
[[File:Nsmbwii1 2.jpg|thumb|The ground is so AWESOME!!]]Take a look.  Not a very good featured image. The resolution can be much bigger, but anyway, there is so much GROUND! {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
:::::::Ew, how did ''that'' become featured image? Anyways at least thats actual artwork from the cover. The Paper Mario ttyd thing appears to be fanwork. {{User|Booderdash}}
:::::::: it's not fanwork!! someone just removed the title, that's all. {{User|Pixlfreak}}
::::::::: Yes, someone ELSE other than the official nintendo removed the title thus its not official or fanwork. {{User|Booderdash}}
::::::::::No, where I got it from, it is pieced together. It's like ripping textures. {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
:::::::::::It's ripped, what BowserLicksOnlyFish said. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
 
Ripped by who? {{User|Booderdash}}
:By someone in the The Spriter's Resource, which is a sprite website. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
The game and characters are cool {{User|Luigia}}

===DKR Racers against Wizpig===
[[File:Flypig.PNG|thumb]]
'''Nominated by:''' {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} <br>
'''Subject:''' Racers driving away from Wizpig''.
 
====Support====
#{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} Well, I nominated this picture because there's action going on, has a background, a pretty uncommon image, and we don't have any good Diddy Kong Racing pictures as featured.
#{{User|Zero777}} I am Zero! Not bad, very dramatic image. Zero signing out.
#{{User|Commander Code-8}} A good game, a good image.
#{{User|Booderdash}} Never seen him before ever, but Wiz pig however he is looks awesome.
#{{User|New Super Mario}} Per Zero777
#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} We need more epic images. This is probably one of the best we have to offer right now.
#{{User|Fuzzipede27}} EPIC! GREAT image!
#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}} Just because it's a Diddy Kong Racing pic is no reason to oppose. All the image needs is to be good enough. As quoted from the top of the page: "''The only condition for nominated images is that they must be in an actual mainspace article on the wiki''". There is no mention that it has to be from the Mario series. You nominate Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong series pictures, '''so any other Mario related series are no exception'''. Anyway, the image is great, per all.
 
====Oppose====
#[[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] there's just something I don't like about this image....
#{{User|GalacticPetey}} I agree with Lu-igi board, also who is Wiz Pig?!
#{{user|BluePikminKong497}} Per Lu-igi board
#{{User|Bowser's luma}} Although DKR is technically (have I spelled that right?) related to Mario, I see no reason why an image that only has a slight Mario reference should be on the Main Page and Featured.
#{{User|Superboo922}} Per Bowser's Luma and Lu-igi board.
#{{User|McQueenMario}} I agree. This is ''Mario'' Wiki. Not ''Diddy Kong'' or ''Wizpig'' Wiki!
#{{User|Dark Bowser}} Per Bowser's Luma... I see very little relationship with any Mario-ness...
 
====Comments====
@GalacticPetey: Wizpig is <s>Wizpig</s> a racer in Diddy Kong Racing. {{User|BluePikminKong497}}
:No he isn't. He's the villain. In Diddy Kong Racing DS, HOWEVER... {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
 
If this has a slight Mario reference, then why is there an article about it? The image doesn't look dark to me. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
:Say this to the people who oppose Wario game images 'cause it's Wario. --{{User|Grandy02}}
::I just hate it how people oppose just because it's "unMario-related." Why do we have an article about the game? The characters? The vehicles? Even the article itself is featured. Saying it's "unMario-related" is a terrible excuse why an image could not be featured. {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
:::Thank you MrConcreteDonkey! {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
:::: Now this image won't get featured because those people think it HAS to be Mario-related. Check out the previous featured images and articles and state your opinion. See, only if the rules are a little stricter, maybe this image is going to be featured. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}
:::::The process is going to be obsolete anyway, so who cares :( {{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}}
::: Fan votes are also why some pathetic images are featured here. I hope the Featured Images get deleted forever. We can't have a wiki that features images because a mass of fans voted for it. {{User|LeftyGreenMario}}

It has been decided that the Super Mario Wiki will no longer support this feature. This page is kept and protected strictly for historical purposes.

At the Super Mario Wiki, Featured Images are those quality, intriguing, witty, provocative, rare, important, and otherwise simply interesting images that can be found throughout the site's articles. Users are encouraged to submit and vote on nominations for the Featured Image displayed on the main page. Every week (on Thursdays at 17:00 GMT), a new image is selected to be featured. This is done by subtracting the number of oppose votes from the number of support votes in each nomination - the image with the most "points" at the end of the week will be featured. Any image with a negative amount of points at the end of a week (that is a nomination with a majority of opposes) is removed from the selection process. The only condition for nominated images is that they must be in an actual mainspace article on the wiki. No personal images or images from non-mainspace pages are allowed. New image nominations can be added to the Featured Image Nominations section below.

Archived nominations of images that were featured in the past are found here.
