MarioWiki:Featured images

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 a week, 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.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.

5. Superstar Daisy (talk) You're awesome. And so is this pic.
6. Yoshi Koshi Moshi (talk) Cheerful action. It MUST be featured.
7. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) No doubt it should be featured. Yoshi is very funny also.
8. babymario12 (talk) it is a prefect way to through the elements of a game together, havent seen better work in some time now
9. Pixlfreak (talk) haha! Look at Luigi!! he's scared out of his wits!!
10. Paper Yoshi (talk)
11. This is a good Mario character picture.It would look good even if it wasn't a Mario Party picture!-Dry dry bones (talk)
12. Phoenix Rider (talk) Although it is the MPDS boxart, I think it's a good picture. It's a bit busy though.
13. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! Its a cool picture, but people dislike the crowdedness.
14. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Yes, I can really see this in the main page, with a comment saying "An artwork of Mario Party DS showing a few of the characters in the game", or something like that. Zero signing out.
15. Mariogirl711 (talk) Per Pixlfreak. He is scared out of his wits! LOL!
16. DaisyRox02 I like it! It shows the playable characters in one picture and is very detailed!
17. Booman (talk)I'll Support,and it makes me want to play this game.
18. Toadster_04 (talk) Very detailed picture, with all the characters! Very nice image.

20. McQueenMario (talk) Lets just feature this already!
21. GalacticPetey (talk) Gargle Hargle Bargle! Translation- awesome quality and I wish Petey was in this game as platable.

Oppose

1. Zafum (talk) - It's far too crowded, and the wall in back looks stupid. By the way, saying you don't know why you dislike this picture is no different than saying "looks nice!".
2. Webkinz Mania (talk) I agree!
3. me too Lu-igi board (talk) 13:33, 17 May 2009 (EDT)
4. Nihaho13 (talk) me, uh...3?
5. SuperbowserX (talk) It's Mario Party DS's boxart without the title or DS info. 2nd of all, IN MY OPINION, it's kinda boring.
6. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Although the image appeals to me, I think we should not feature box art, at least do box art of a classic, or of an older game (perhaps in the future, when Mario Party DS is as old as, let's say, Super Mario 64}.
7. Marioguy1 (talk)Daisy is almost nonexistant in the image.
8. Hrothgar (talk) I agree with Super Mario Bros. It's a good picture, but it's box art. Also, I didn't even notice Daisy until now.

Comments

Since i found this Scene so Music-themed i had to Nominate it, Hope you like it Castle Toad (talk)

I believe that if Zafum doesnt know why he dislikes the picture, his vote should be erased Tucayo (talk) 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. Time Q (talk)

Look, i'm not expecting that the images i nominate win, to be honest, i don't care, but seriously, i see just stupid things like "i dunno why i just don't like it", but whatever... Castle Toad (talk)

Zafum (talk) I think Tucayo's vote should be erased, because he doesn't know why he likes his picture, he just says looks nice. LOL, you don't need a reason to vote, you just need to know if you like the picture or not. Don't go blaming me just because I didn't have a reason this time.

Excuse Mr Oppose-it-all, but saying looks nice is way different than dont knowing why you dont like it. Looks nice means i LIKE the picture because its NICE. And how can you dislike a picture for reasons you dont even know Tucayo (talk)

Both of you calm down please, okay? Nobody is forced to add any reason when voting to support or oppose an image. If you like a picture, feel free to support it; if you don't like it, feel free to oppose it. In neither case you have to give reasons for your vote. No need to get upset about this. Time Q (talk)

I think we should include a notice saying that you don't have to put a reason for the vote (or a good reason at that, anyway), to avoid confusion in the future. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

10. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Ice Mario is super! The picture is good quality, the lighting is good, and it complements the Fire Mario Featured Image.
11. Marioguy1 (talk) The light reflecting off of the picture makes it glow yet it does not give glare.
12. RymanGaming (talk) Looks nice, its 108 degrees Fahrenheit here.
13. Hrothgar (talk) The great lighting defeats the blank background.

Oppose

1. Phoenix Rider (talk) No. It's much too plain. All it is is Ice Mario on a black background.

Nah Lu-igi Board, just though it has great lighing, like the rainbow Mario's colour- Timmy Tim (talk)

Phoenix Rider, FIs arn't just about scenarios y'know, I chose this because of its lighting, its six supporters probably thought the same Timmy Tim (talk)

Regardless of the reason you chose it, it still stands that it's a stock image that can be found anywhere. These FIs should have something different about them to make them stand out. Phoenix Rider (talk) 15:30, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

7. TheTigerBuddy (talk) Per Lu-igi Board.

Timmy Tim (talk) Images like this are the reason we have the 'featured image' page!

Wing-Cap Mario Around the World

• Subject: A picture of Mario flying around the world.
• Nominated by: Super Mario Bros. (talk)

Support

1. Super Mario Bros. (talk) I think it looks much better than my other FI nominations. The real image (not the thumbnail) is larger, but only has one resolution. Besides that, I think it looks nice. It is very colorful, and represents a good amount of SM64 worlds and levels.
2. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! This actually quite a good picture. Nice job. But maybe you could give it a better name?
3. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Alright I'll support, but make the image bigger, or find a better quality one. Zero signing out.
4. Booman (talk) I'll support it because it looks awesome, it's from one of my favourite games,and there's a Boo in the background.
5. Marioguy1 (talk) The image is covered with the perfect amount of Mario so that we can see him, and the planet.
6. Pixlfreak (talk) i like super mario 64.
7. Platitudinous (talk) We all do. Nice pic!
8. Hrothgar (talk) I've decided to support this image. It has a nice cartoon-like look. And besides, who doesn't like Super Mario 64?
9. Lu-igi board (talk) It's been here so long, I've taken a liking for it.
10. Yoshi Koshi Moshi Per Booman, Marioguy1 and Hrothgar.

Oppose

1. Timmy Tim (talk) Nah, the quality's bordering on 'too small' and the background characters look a bit off.
2. Zafum (talk) - It looks too simple, doesn't have the highest quality, and looks too simple (Note: I said simple twice on purpose).
3. McQueenMario (talk) Not much to see in this picture.
4. Time Q (talk): I agree with all the opposers.

Comments

I think this image looks better in its full resolution. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

What's funny is that the image was uploaded a year ago to the day (30 June 2008) Super Mario Bros. (talk)

if this image was remade today, it would look great, but at the minute it looks to simple.I won't support or oppose. Lu-igi board (talk) 11:48, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

Well, might I point out that most older artworks of Mario games have this kind of simplicity and quality, per say. What makes up for its simplicity, however, is that it is colorful, it represents a unique and classic game. The game it represents, SM64, is revolutionary in the time it was released, and defined a new era of Mario games. Also, this artwork represents a video game that is over a decade old (if this image were selected as FI, this would be the first to represent an N64 game, and the second oldest FI in terms of what game it relates to). So you see, this image is decent enough and would represent a very important point of time in gaming itself. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

Besides, our next F.A. to be displayed on the main page is SM64. Why don't we feature this image of SM64 along with it on the main page? That would be rather nice to have both of them related. This would be the first time a FI and a FA are featured on the main page at the same time and are related to the same game. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

How do I make the image bigger? Super Mario Bros. (talk)

On this page? You're not allowed to do that. The image is supposed to be only a thumbnail here. Time Q (talk)

Oh, okay. Thank you. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

1. Grandy02 (talk) A true classic.
2. I have a poster of this! Lu-igi board (talk)
3. Time Q (talk): Cool image! Time to feature an old school Mario game.

2. Marioguy1 (talk) Too crowded! Oh ya and plat... your word is smaller than mine (see the above section)
3. Booman (talk) Per MarioGuy1.
4. Shyster66 (talk) What Zero777 said. Too blurry

I am Zero! Well Zafum, it's a little blurry in the background, that's all, but if there is a clearer one, then I'll support. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

Pixlfreak (talk) i dont get why you care about quality! the only pictures that have "good" quality are from the newer games, therefore all clasic games are out. and personally, I'm one for the classics.

YourBuddyBill (talk) its kinda crowded.

Platitudinous (talk) I like the Goomba's shoe. It kind of annoys me it was only in one level, but in the new Nintendo Power they mention an enemy in M&L3 that "Should remind Mario fans of a certain enemy from World 5-3 of SMB 3."

Nihaho13 (talk) Were did you find dis pic? 'Cause maybe there's a Super Mario World cast picture I can upload here.

Smash Bros Army

• Subject: The cast of Super Smash Bros Melee, assembled for a Melee.

Support

1. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! This is a great pic, great quality and Not Box-art!
2. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! This is sort of like the SSBB image, but I'll support it, I want to see it one more time in the main page, just enlarge the image more. I can really see this with a comment like "The whole cast of Super Smash Bros. Melee, assembled in for a Melee". Zero signing out.
3. Timmy Tim (talk) per Zero, I only opposed the SSBB picture so it could be deleted as it was around for way too long.
4. I like it more then the Brawl pic, as there is less characters to make the image to busy. Lu-igi board (talk)
5. Marioguy1 (talk) Very good! My favorite so far!
6. Pixlfreak (talk) I SEE ROY!!! (and young link with his milk) can't say no to this
7. Zafum (talk) - I like this one.
8. Hrothgar (talk) I remember how amazed I was when I first saw this picture. It's great.
9. Super Mario Bros. (talk) It seems a bit repetitive to use the word "Melee" twice in the subject area, but the image is good.
10. Yoshi Koshi Moshi I WANT THIS PICTURE FEATURED.
11. Platitudinous (talk) Super Mario Bros. is right, and I think "battle" would be better. Looking at Luigi, though, it actually seems like what he'd do during an important pic like this.

Oppose

1. Castle Toad (talk) i just think of this as the Brawl one.... they were used a lot in the past.
2. Toadboy911 (talk): What the!? LOOK AT LUIGI!!!
3. McQueenMario (talk) I am really tired of this image. P.S. Luigi is doing Green Missile.
4. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Just to hate the graphics in this game, they look to fake. Also, nothing stands out, they don't even blend in. Not a good picture in my opinion.
5. Nihaho13 (talk) ...I hope this wont turn into a war like the Mario Party DS picture...
6. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk) - With so many characters, the image looks (to me) like a mess at 300px.

1. Zafum (talk) - I like the picture, but it's quality is just too low.
2. Marioguy1 (talk) - Honestly, there is a blank background!
3. Mario freak (talk) Blank Background, poor quality, and this was a terible game! (Aside from the fact that Petey is in it)
4. McQueenMario (talk) - The game is cute and fun but this pic is in low quality and upsidedown character thing makes it look weird.
5. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! Per Mcqueenmario.Didn't really like the game either.
6. Nihaho13 (talk) heck no!
7. Time Q (talk): Not the best quality.

1. Timmy Tim (talk) This image is neither promotional art nor boxart, so I though it'd be different.
2. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! I agree, this is different but there are others maybe they'de be better?. (the kritter one's my favourite)
3. Lu-igi board Kritter pic is better though...
4. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Good, unique image that can be seen in the main page with a comment like, "Luigi charging up his kick to make the goal!". Zero signing out.
5. Booman (talk)Pretty good image with good quality, and p.s, you spelled charging and make wrong, Zero777.
6. Marioguy1 (talk) - I suppose the white background induces dramatic effect (whatever that means)
7. Super Mario Bros. (talk) I like the image and the style, it is different from most Mario artwork.
8. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Usually, I don't support characters drawings because their is nothing else to see. This, though, has something (I don't know what) that is making me support this Image.

Oppose

1. Hrothgar (talk) I never really cared for the Mario Strikers art style. It just doesn't seem very Mario-like. This picture is no different.
2. Mario freak (talk) How about a picture ina game! This is a drawing!
3. McQueenMario (talk) It's just a strikers artwork. The pic that I nominated is better.

Oppose

1. Zafum (talk) - Even though it has an extremely high quality, It's lack of background and there being a very small amount of things to see in the picture makes me much more inclined to oppose.
2. Hrothgar (talk) It looks like the artist just randomly placed stuff on a white piece of paper.
3. Toadster_04 (talk) Per Hrothgar.
4. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) It looks very cloudy which means it has no background. And it looks they are all giants right on the horizon.
5. Nihaho13 (talk) no backround says all.

Platitudinous (talk) Shouldn't there be another character instead of two generic, nameless Toads?

who's to say they won't be named? Lu-igi board (talk) 08:29, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

Platitudinous (talk) I have an idea so crazy it just might work. The third character is the Toad named Toad, but player 4 is... a Shy Guy! It sounds odd, but it may work. For example, when it gets a Propeller Suit, it becomes a Fly Guy! Genius, right?

my god that is genius! Lu-igi board (talk) 11:53, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

Platitudinous (talk) Thanks. I came up with it while looking at the page for "Mario Power Tennis" when I saw the pics of Shy Guy and Fly Guy.

Platitudinous (talk) They should have Hammer Bros. in Galaxy 2.

As you can see, his vote won't make a bug difference anyways! Marioguy1 (talk)

Marioguy1, thanks for the advice on my talk page, but I'm actually not joking at all. I really do think this picture deserves a better title than "Featured Image" Pokémoneinstein (talk)

Pokémoneinstein, thanks for your comment above but your vote probably won't make much of a difference. I really think that Featured Image is the best title on the wiki! Marioguy1 (talk)

Pokémoneinstein, come on, we simply don't have any "better" category than Featured Image. It's better to make it "only" a featured image than nothing, hm? Time Q (talk) (Actually, your vote does make a difference. Hadn't you opposed, the image would be featured this week.)

I guess I will make the amount of votes that it takes to remove a vote... Since it's not recognized in the rules right now, I will unofficially make it five votes. If nobody removes that section, then it will be five. Super Mario Bros. (talk) 21:10, 23 July 2009 (EDT)

Donkey Kong and Friends

File:KONGS.PNG

• Subject: Artwork for Donkey Kong 64.
  
• Nominated by: Super Mario Bros. (talk)

1. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Although it only has one resolution (which is bigger than the thumbnail), it looks very good, and it would be our first F.I. that represents the Donkey Kong series.
2. Marioguy1 (talk) - Actually, it would be the second one with DK as the main focus, the one with the illustration from MP1 focuses on DK. Anyways, I think there will be a lot of fan-votes here; Fans of the DK series would want one of its images featured.
3. Timmy Tim (talk) Nice.
4. wow! I love it :P Lu-igi board 03:00, 24 July 2009 (EDT)
5. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! I don't usually like kong photos or games but this is pretty good.

Oppose

1. McQueenMario (talk) - Quite boring.
2. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! I can see how this can work on the main page but the color scheme is out-dated, and it's really boreing. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

Star World

• Subject: Star World
• Nominated by: Nihaho13 (talk)

Support

1. Nihaho13 (talk) - It may not win, but I like it. It shows the beauty of the yoshi rainbow and the Star World. Besides, It's one of the only two SMW artwork pics that has Mario SMILEING.
2. Time Q (talk): I admit I'm a bit biased when it comes to such old games, and especially the fantastic Super Mario World. The picture's not perfect, but definitely good enough for me to support.
3. Booman (talk) I think it's awesome.
