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 EST), 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.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.

  12. Platitudinous (talk) At first glance, the Minis looked strangely realistic.

Oppose

  1. Time Q (talk): Low quality. Even in its standard size, which is quite small, it's pixelated.
  2. McQueenMario (talk) Per Time Q.
  3. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Just plain boring. This shouldn't be a FI! Also, per Time Q.
  4. Paper Yoshi (talk) Per Time Q.

  12. Tonym101101 (talk) Per Time Q and I just don't think it should be featured.
  13. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I had second thoughts about this picture. Think about placing this on the main page. It shouldn't go on the main page.
  14. Glitchman (talk) Frankly, a very lame image.
  15. Cacciaguida (talk) Low quality, and boring.
  16. LuigiMadness71 (talk) Why take a picture from Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the mini's? That game's just bland :P (Oh and Time Q's Right)
  17. S.M.Sfreak (talk) If you look real closely, you'll see that Mario needs to shave. (Just a little)
  18. Marioguy1 (talk) - Quality is too low.
  19. Panchito - Per above. Not good.
  20. Raphaelraven497 (talk) - Bad Quality. Game stinks too.
  21. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) That's it, I'm done with this image. It's been here WAAAY too long.
  22. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Bleh. This image's a goner.

Comments

Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Time Q: For a screenshot, this actually has pretty good quality.

Click on it and you'll see it has very low resolution. We can't put that on the main page, since it needs to be enlarged. Time Q (talk)

Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Well,I admit it's kind of small. But I'm still not removing my vote.

Before you keep supporting this image, please click here. This is as big as the image can get, and even in this size it's pixelated and low-quality. We need images that can be enlarged further if we want to put them on the main page. Time Q (talk)

Yeeeaaahhh...? It doesn't really seem THAT small. I still think it's featured image worthy. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

Yoshi! Time Q, main page resolution is lower than this one. YellowYoshi127 (talk)

Yes, but visitors should be able to enlarge the image on the main page. When you hover over it, it even reads, "Click for a larger image." When users do that they'll see a pixelated image, which is bad. Time Q (talk)

Great... looks like this is going to be our first low-quality FI... oh well :( Time Q (talk)

Hey guys: With a touch of image editing, I was able to change the image from This to this. It's a bit blurrier, but the quality isn't so noticable now. Papero (talk)

It's better, but the resolution is still too low to be featured on the main page. Time Q (talk)


Avalanche!

Avalanche!

Support

  1. Vini64 (talk) 4535 x 3000... That's probably the biggest image in the MarioWiki. Perfect quality and it's also a funny scene.
  2. Fawfulfury65 (talk) I don't know why but I really like this picture. And it is big!
  3. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Well even though the skis are blurred, DK looks weird with his teeth, and Mario's sideburns are a lighter shade of color, I still like this picture. Zero signing out.
  4. GalacticPetey (talk) This is why we have featured images!
  5. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Poor Luigi XD.
  6. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Oh, so now everyone is voting for a picture with a white background and not mine, now that is what I call cheap (pouts). Anyways, this picture is wonderful! White background or not, this is FI material (and so are some other white background pics...).
  7. Gamefreak75 (talk) Great pic and pretty good graphics/quality. XD Luigi
  8. Koopa Troopa the fourth (talk) It's a nice pic. luigi XD
  9. LeftyGreenMario (talk) I like this picture. Unlike some other white background ones (namely the Koopaling one), this picture is funny (poor Luigi) and has action.
  10. Tucayo (talk) - Nice image
  11. PT PRANA (talk) Cool pic! It looks like something out of Mario+Sonic at the winter olympics.
  12. Pie Shroom (talk) Looks cool.
  13. lpsc00l (talk) Ha! it has a humorus plot to it. Poor Luigi takes the cuts and bruises while Mario escapes unharmed. Well Luigi is more clumsy....
  14. Raphaelraven497 (talk) It's actually, in my opinion, a GREAT image.

Oppose

  1. Glitchman (talk) A strange image from a strange game, plus someone needs to reupload it, it's too big.
  2. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) This is by no means a bad picture (I actually like it) but I think it would do much better if it had a scenery. Plus, it makes Luigi look strange...again.
  3. Marioguy1 (talk) - No background, yuck :P
  4. tonym101101 (talk) The image at full size looks good but I don't think it should be featured.
  5. MATEOELBACAN (talk) Per BabyLuigiOnFire and Marioguy1 also Yoshi doesn't appear at all and he's too far from the rest D=
  6. baby dk (talk) luigi+ball=epic fail
  7. Karinmij (talk) Per BabyLuigiOnFire on the Luigi-thing. That snowball looks like a marble with a Luigi-picture on it :S
  8. Cacciaguida (talk) DK looks possessed! Oh, and Mr. Green is a ball. But DK looks like he's possessed!
  9. Lu-igi board I'm bored of seeing this.
  10. Panchito - I don't like it.
  11. McQueenMario (talk) - The white background ruins it.
  12. Dark Boo (talk) Its perfect! Intill you see the background that is.
  13. Dark Bowser (talk) No background.... and how long has this been here?

Comments

I wonder why it is that everyone cares so much about Luigi. I mean, what's so good about him? Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

Well, I don't know why (and yet even I said he was weird), but he looks like a total maniac snowman and some people (preferably Luigi fans) don't like to seem him like a snowman, or ball, or....yeah and I don't like Luigi getting, say, "owned." Only a few pictures have characters getting bad luck and this is one of them. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)


NSMB New Year

Support

  1. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Ok, so nominating this was NOT my idea (guy who nominated BiS inspired me) but this has some notable differences between BiS (other than the obvious ones, obviously). This is less faded, bigger, absence of ugly borders and has action in it. The only concerns is what the pasta happened to Yellow Toad and there's less characters. Otherwise, I nominated for the same reasons Baby Mario Bloops gave out; it's the actual, authentic drawing from the creator himself!!
  2. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Cute, nice size, and made by the Mario Man himself!
  3. MATEOELBACAN (talk) Nice Image made by Shigeru & Co. too!, PS: Why is Toad here and not Yellow Toad 0_0?
  4. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Not a bad image, especially since it's a drawing. Zero signing out.
  5. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) This is a great, nice-size image.
  6. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Much better than the Boswer's Inside Story one because this one is not so crowded and faded. I guess no one likes Yellow Toad... :(
  7. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) - I don't know how I inspired you, but I will leave that to you. Anyways, this is really good, with a few confused points (red toad, NSMW instead of NSMBW) but that doesn't matter much in this image. This is excellent, I can't believe that they can create such a outstanding piece of artwork (I wish I could draw like that).
  8. Pie Shroom (talk) Nice drawing of a nice game.
  9. Karinmij (talk) I agree with Fawfulfury65 and Zero777, this one is nice!
  10. McQueenMario (talk) You got to admit, this is pretty cute!

Oppose

  1. Lu-igi board this is just ugly....
  2. Dry Bones A (talk) I don't think it looks good.
  3. lpsc00l (talk) ummm... well. It's a nice picture but... it doesn't sum up celebration or Mario games. I don't see what people in bubbles have to do with new year or Mario. I feel it is not a pic for featured image.

Comments

@Fawfulfury:So you support one New Year image but not the other? Reversinator (talk)

@Reversinator:Er-this page follows the No-Signature Policy...MATEOELBACAN (talk)
@Reversinator: There's nothing wrong with supporting one New Year image but not the other. --Garlic Man (talk)

I support it now. Fawfulfury65 (talk)

lpsc00l: You don't know what the bubbles are? Then you clearly did not play New Super Mario Bros. Wii. That is what this image is about. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

Krem Quay

Support

  1. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Awesome picture! Nice size, and a lot of detail. I LOVE this picture!
  2. I was wondering when a DK snapshot would appear! Lu-igi board
  3. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Interesting, high quality, good colouring... need I say more?
  4. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Nice image. It just looks a little faded, though.
  5. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Not bad, it's a nice big image. Zero signing out.
  6. Time Q (talk): It's the best image we currently have :/

Oppose

  1. McQueenMario (talk) - I just don't like it.
  2. MATEOELBACAN (talk) - Per McQueenMario...
  3. lpsc00l (talk) I agree with McQueenMario, The animations are just real bad. they both look like demented muppets!!

Comments

I don't know what to say about this picture. It's good quality and a nice size, but it's faded and IMO looks boring. Plus, why are Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong always have the same expression, no matter what the situation? BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

Bowser Striker

Support

  1. Fawfulfury65 (talk) - Although this is character artwork, its big, high quality, and seems to have a lot of action in it! It's also extremely detailed and you can tell it was drawn by a pro artist!
  2. Lu-igi board lol at bowser! truly the coolest footballer the world has ever seen :P
  3. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) I don't know why, but Bowser looks mighty aerodynamic when he's like that.
  4. Time Q (talk): I like it. Great quality.
  5. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Ok, I guess I'll support it, it's a nice big image. Zero signing out.
  6. lpsc00l (talk) Sure it is a character artwork, but it is a character that stars in most, if not, all Mario games. And strikers artwork is nicely drawn and creative which fits the descriptions of "FEATURED IMAGE". Oh, Lemmy Koopa Fan, nice use of the word "aerodynamic"!
  7. Karinmij (talk) High quality, in my opinion almost as good as the picture from this game that has been featured last year's august.
  8. Dark boo (talk) this is just plain awesome looking
  9. Dark Bowser (talk) Wow..... I support....

Oppose

  1. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Though it is about everything Fawful said, it's still just single-character artwork.
  2. McQueenMario (talk) Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
  3. MATEOELBACAN (talk) Per BLOF.

Comments

What's wrong with it being simple character artwork? It meets the requirements to be a FI, doesn't it? Fawfulfury65 (talk)

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.

The ones in bold is in where the image you nominated doesn't really meet its requirements. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

Well, it is simply interesting and intriguing to me. As for rare, its uncommon to see such a unique art style. I'm not sure if any of the FIs are much of witty, though. Fawfulfury65 (talk)

Eh, we have different opinions, so it's ok :) BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)


Donkey Kong Jungle Climber

Donkey Diddy Jungle Climber.jpg

Support

  1. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I know this is boxart, but it shows the scene, without the title, rating, DS border thingies, and the publishing company. It's good quality, has a scenery to fill out the entire picture and Donkey and Diddy in it! I know some parts are cut out from the original boxart, but I still think it's FI worthy.
  2. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Per BLOF. Go, Diddy, go!
  3. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Not bad, a nice, big, clear image, I support. Zero signing out.
  4. McQueenMario (talk) Now this is what I call a great DK image!
  5. MATEOELBACAN (talk) So Colorful, per all.
  6. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Great quality and interesting.
  7. LeftyGreenMario (talk) One of the few great Donkey Kong images. Looks a little blurry though. Never saw this picture before, but I never saw the game's box art anyway.
  8. lpsc00l (talk) THIS IS BOXART!!!!!! what...BOXART!! I would never guess this is boxart. I haven't even heard of the game! It is a really nice image...to be boxart!
  9. Karinmij (talk) Per above.
  10. Lu-igi board per all
  11. Platitudinous (talk) Per lpsc00l.
