Why? What?

The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still beginning and with a small community of active users. Now we are a big community and very vibrant, and coming up on the 2nd anniversary of the wiki's creation this Sunday, it's time to celebrate...the wiki. And what better way to do that than with a...

Mario Awards Show!!

Award Results

It's almost time! Most of the presentations later tonight will only include the winner, possibly the runners-up. Complete results with percentage statistics and all the isolated "Other" votes will be added to the below table throughout the night, so please refresh this page after each presentation to see each update.

What we can give you now is voting statistics:

  • There were a total of 62 voters.
  • Some votes were filled in as "S" for skipped. There were a maximum of 62*30 = 1860 votes possible, but in reality there were 1695 votes, leaving 165 votes, or 8.871% of total votes skipped. The maximum amount of times a single award was skipped over was 18, leaving 44 votes as the low, occurring twice, although two awards were conversely not skipped by any voter.
  • The mean of the # of votes for each award was 56.5 (91.129% of the max). The median was 59. The mode was 61, just one off the maximum, occurring seven times.
  • Just 1 award had a tie for 1st, in fact a 3-way tie, A5.

Awards in order by when presented, first to last. A# is the original Award # as decided by the Awards Committee, with A1 created first and A30 last; Mario Award is the name of the award; Presenter / Link gives an internal link to the presenter's user page & a direct external link to the presentation post in the ceremony thread on the forum; # of Voters shows total out of 62; Results gives everything voted for, including "Other" votes, with percentages (possible margin of error due to rounding) and listed from first to last, with the winner bolded and big, runners-up in normal font, 4th-6th in small font, and everything thus after in smaller font.
