#[[User:Mario304|Mario304]]
#{{User|Ultratim4}} Nice picture, the most commonly known of Brawl's default characters. You have my vote.
#{{User|Webkinz Mania}}
#[[User:luvluv321]]
#{{User|Leirin}} - An epic picture with a nice lightsource. We should definitely do this for Brawl's anniversary (at least in time for Europe's). ;)
#{{User|Tucayo}} - Nice image, great in fact, and fun to look at
#{{User|Yoshi Koshi Moshi}} Per Tucayo. This is a fantastic pic.
#{{User|Karinmij}} Nice
#{{User|Onegiri}} I so want a poster of this...
#{{User|Luigifreak}} While I do think it is overused, it does have great colors and lighting.
#{{User|Dry Luigi}} Too iconic to not be featured eventually
 
====Oppose====
#{{User|Zafum}} - Ive seen this picture far too often and it's gotten boring to look at.
#{{user|Castle Toad}} i agree Zafum, it has been really used too much
#{{user|ForeverDaisy09}} Yeah. Very used image.
#[[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] I change my vote. it is a very predictable image to see.
#{{User|TripFresh}} Overused, old, and boring.
#{{User|babymario12}} while i do like the pic, it's just the front cover of the box without the title, and the title makes it look a lot better, because without it there's just the blank space where it should be

#I've got it as my desktop background![[User:Zacharycc42]]
#{{User|Zafum}} - I like it, how it has so many marios in it.
#{{user|student}} -From 1985 to today, it rocks!
#{{User|Nihaho13}} - I like it.
#{{User|Yoshi Koshi Moshi}} - I don't know how many more people have this as their desktop. I'm included.
#{{User|ThereBeYoshis}} - Great picture, sums it all up.  I need this as my netbook background!
#{{User|Leirin}} - Ah, so nostalgic...
#{{user|babymario12}} a simple symbol of how mario has advanced through the years. it rocks my socks off
 
====Oppose====
#YAWN! I find this very boring to look at. Also, it is arranged in a very bad way! [[Image:Unknown Shy Guy.PNG|50px]]{{User|Hyper Guy}}[[Image:Unknown Shy Guy.PNG|50px]]
#{{user|Castle Toad}} Per Hyper Guy
#{{user|Webkinz Mania}} I agree!
#{{User|Dark boo}} Not all of those pictures look good together.
#{{User|Time Q}}: Is this even official? It looks like someone just put some Mario artwork together.
#{{User|Luigifreak}}: Per all, it looks very cluttered
#{{User|Timmy Tim}}- Per all, not good for the main page.
#{{User|Grandy02}}: Not that well arranged and selected. SMB3 artwork five times, but just a sprite from SMB and not any SM64 artwork? It hardly represents Mario's history with only two pre-2000 games. And where is this image from, anyway?
#{{User|Dry Luigi}}Something about this picture... I don't like it.

Since i found this Scene so Music-themed i had to Nominate it, Hope you like it {{user|Castle Toad}}
 
I believe that if Zafum doesnt know why he dislikes the picture, his vote should be erased {{User|Tucayo}} That's stupid
:No, because you're not even forced to add a reason. You can just vote without putting any reason, and just as well you can say that you don't know why you dislike a picture. {{User|Time Q}}

::It is the same artwork, the difference is that it is higher resolution, it hasn't the background from the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/cljj/koopa/index.html Japanese website] and the flames are not cut. For the some reason, the colors of the smaller version are much paler than on the website. {{User|Grandy02}}

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.

A gallery of all Featured Images can be found here.
