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 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.

8. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Love this picture!!! You can't get enough of this. I more than agree it should be a featured Image.
9. Mario freak (talk) Great Quality
10. Toadster_04 (talk) Common or not, it's a great picture.
11. MeritC (talk) Per all; this is one of my personal favorite group pictures for a Mario spinoff installment. Enough said.
12. Booman (talk) It's okay,and there's a boo in the benches.
13. Yoshi Koshi Moshi Nice 'n colorful.
14. ForeverDaisy09 (talk) Better than most other pictures we see.
15. Dark Lakitu 789 (talk) The quality is great,the picture isn't boring,even though almost every one seen this picture,it's great.
16. DaisyRox02 (talk) This is a great pic and a fun game!
17. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) I like this picture because A) It has great quality B) It shows a fair amount of characters and C) It's just a good picture! The ball is blurry and I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen.
18. Vini64 (talk) Even I don't like this game, this picture have everything to be featured.
19. Dry Luigi (talk) Great game, great pic.
20. LeftyGreenMario (talk) It's a colorful picture! Besides, the actual boxart doesn't show Wario, Waluigi, or Boo.
21. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Per LeftyGreenMario

Oppose

1. Zafum (talk) - This is like the ssbb picture. It's just too common of a picture.
2. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Per my reasons for opposing the Mario Party DS box-art.
3. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! This is the box art, seen too many times. Zero signing out.
4. Marioguy1 (talk) Per SMB.

7. TheTigerBuddy (talk) Per Lu-igi Board.
8. McCloud (talk) Using logic, I don't think anyone except the umpire and the catcher are allowed behind the batter. It makes the picture seem a little crowded behind Bowser.
9. Shyster66 (talk) All you can really see is Mario and no one else.
10. Dark Bowser (talk) Per Zafum... I've seen this WAY too many times before...

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

I think we have enough boxart covers in this list. Phoenix Rider (talk)

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. Yoshi Koshi Moshi Per Booman, Marioguy1 and Hrothgar.
10. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) I love Super Mario 64 and this picture!
11. Mario7727 (talk)This Picture From Super Mario 64 Looks So Cool!
12. Shyster66 (talk) I support for it's color.
13. Toadster_04 (talk) A nice quality image.

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.
5. Dark boo (talk) It just really doesnt look that good to me.
6. Superstar Daisy (talk) 4.75/10. It's OK, but not FI quality.
7. ForeverDaisy09 (talk) Agree with above comment.
8. lpsc00l (talk) What?! Mario looks orange! This picture dosen't deserve to be on the front page!! I mean seriously,the quality stinks!!
9. Lu-igi board (talk) It's been here so long I've seen enough of it.
10. Vini64 (talk) Per everyone.
11. Paper Yoshi (talk) There are better images on this page. Also, it's been here for a long time.
12. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I think it's about time this image should get taken off.

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)

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)

Dry Luigi: The Super Mario 64 box-art is with the featured article on the main page. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

This one is Meh-ish. Like I said as my reason for opposing, it's good, but not THAT good. Superstar Daisy (talk)

10. Hrothgar (talk) Great picture. It brings back good memories.

12. Nihaho13 (talk) - Nihaho needs moar koopalings! (I hope someone gets that joke)
13. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Per all. But Bowser looks different than what he does and Roy's shades look weird, but the great quality, scene, and it's overall appearence is good.

15. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)I'll support it because it's a rare picture
16. Vini64 (talk) Bowser looks weird but is a cool picture.

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
5. DaisyRox02 (talk) Per all. It's not so great.
6. ForeverDaisy09 (talk) It's sort of odd isn't it?
7. MechaWave (talk) Eww! Its blurriness in the background and lack of entertainment makes it a little bland.
8. lpsc00l (talk) I have 3 resons this shouldn't be featured, 1)There is too much going on, 2)It too blurry, and 3)it just boring!!

Comments

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.

At Gamekult, the only site where I found it with this resolution (and even without a watermark). Grandy02 (talk)

Zero777, Shyster66, MechaWave: What do you mean by "blurriness"? To me, it doesn't look blurry at all. You do know that the image above is just a preview and you can enlargen it by clicking on it, right? Time Q (talk)

Ipsc00I, how can it be boring and have too much going on in it at the same time? Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

PT PRANA (talk) I'm not taking sides here, but whats up with the beaver outfit?! I just don't get it!

Platitudinous (talk) What beaver suit? I think you're thinking of the Tanooki Suit.

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. Marioguy1 (talk) Very good! My favorite so far!
5. Pixlfreak (talk) I SEE ROY!!! (and young link with his milk) can't say no to this
6. Zafum (talk) - I like this one.
7. Hrothgar (talk) I remember how amazed I was when I first saw this picture. It's great.
8. Super Mario Bros. (talk) It seems a bit repetitive to use the word "Melee" twice in the subject area, but the image is good.
9. Yoshi Koshi Moshi I WANT THIS PICTURE FEATURED.
10. 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.
11. Prince Boo (talk) looks awesome
12. Zafum (talk) - I actually like this picture.
13. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Why do a bunch of Luigi fans whine about what Luigi is doing? he looks cool to me. And the Brawl cast picture is just like this except they're facing the other way and with a white background.
14. Superstar Daisy (talk) This is actually pretty good.
15. Dry Luigi (talk) Great pic possibly better than the Brawl one.
16. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Melee was fun! The picture is nice! Great game with great picture!
17. LeftyGreenMario (talk) A great image from a great game.
18. Shyster66 (talk) Very actiony. Plus, Luigi's shooting himself

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.
7. DaisyRox02 (talk) I'd like the SSBB cast better than this. It's just more action-packed than this.
8. lpsc00l (talk) it has too much going on!!! When i first saw the picture i was looking for Luigi...i found him.....IN THE SKY!!!
9. ForeverDaisy09 (talk) Image is extremely overused.
10. Lu-igi board (talk) it can't stay here for ever.....

Pixlfreak (talk) why does everyone care about graphics!!! so what? it was for the gamecube and the gamecube doesnt have the best graphics in the world.

One person criticized the graphics. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk)

I am Zero! Talking about SSB, you know how a lot of users have there own SSB infobox, well I'm thinking to have a section on the 'Shroom probably called "Fake Brawl" where I make a battle between four users (alternate colors also), so basically I'm going to be those announcer guys talking very fast on those horse race derbies. It may be a little difficult but it may work. So what do you think? Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

3. Lu-igi board (talk) per all. I can't wait to play this game!

10. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Per all.
11. McQueenMario (talk) - The first time I saw this, I almost fainted! I can't wait for NSMBWii!!!
12. Yoshi Koshi Moshi (talk) Like you all I can't wait for the release either and featuring this image will get people even more exciting. Gee, just check out the quality!
13. Dark boo (talk) Dispite the blank background this picture just looks so good it makes up for it.
14. Nintendo24 (talk) I can wait for this game to come out and the picture is really awesome even it has a white background.
15. Superstar Daisy (talk) I love it! It looks so cool and so......... Mario!
16. Dry Luigi (talk) How could anyone oppose this or say it is boring? This is going to be a great game and this pic represents everything that will make the game great. The white background is a little boring, but the pic already has a lot of color
17. Shyster66 (talk) I can't wait for this game so I support.

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.
6. ForeverDaisy09 (talk) This is just artwork composed together without a setting. Lame.
7. Lpsc00l (talk) I think it looks like someone got a bunch of single pictures, scrambled them together and forgot to put a setting. a.k.a, it looks like a 3 year old made it.
8. Karinmij (talk) I agree with ForeverDaisy09.
9. DaisyRox02 (talk) It's like the Ice Mario pic. It needs a background to be featured! It's so boring!
10. Vini64 (talk) Well, I can do that in Paint...
11. Paper Yoshi (talk) Per Lpsc001.
12. Fawfulfury65 (talk) The background is white. Talk about boring.
13. LeftyGreenMario (talk) This picture is so boring. I can just take 3 new pictures, recycle some others, paste them together, and there: Featured Image!!!
14. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I dislike this picture because first, there's no background. Second, unlike New Super Mario Bros. DS, I can copy and paste the artwork into that and there.
15. Dark Bowser (talk) Per everyone.

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.

it will be beter than the ds game
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baby dk (talk).

having no background makes the picture look better! Lu-igi board 06:17, 29 July 2009 (EDT) p.s I have a poster of this! woot!

Platitudinous (talk) Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dudes and dudettes, I have found the tentative release date for this game! It is November 2nd, 2009!

Platitudinous (talk) Who was it that thought, on the wired.com interview, that Miyamoto was serious about the cake thing? It was a joke!

Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Why are alot of people supporting it because they think the game looks good, but they're not saying alot about the picture which, by the way, I made an exact replica of in MS Paint.

I hope Nintendo would make better game art than this. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

3. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Just plain boring. This shouldn't be a FI! Also, per Time Q.
4. Paper Yoshi (talk) Per Time Q.
5. Dry Luigi (talk) Per Time Q
6. Castle Toad (talk) How can we have a so low quality Image in the Main Page, even if it's "cute" or something like that.... saddly i think this time "Quantity wins over Quality"
7. Toadster_04 (talk) Per all. The quality is just too poor.
8. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk) Small, blurry, and uninteresting image.

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)

1. Time Q (talk): It's a quite funny scene in a likeable comic style from an excellent Mario game :P
2. Timmy Tim (talk) Well, we currently have one that's similar, but you do have a point.
3. lpsc00l (talk) Ehh, What the heck! I'll support it.
4. Marioguy1 (talk) - It accurately shows the many different varieties of foes available in that certain level of Super Mario World, no more, no less.
5. Lu-igi board (talk) wow this is just epic!
6. Pie Shroom (talk) It's awesome.
7. Vini64 (talk) Every Super Mario World artwork must be featured :D!

11. Shyster66 (talk) Another comical moment
12. Dark Bowser (talk) I like Mario's expression in this picture!

1. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Alright this has been here for too long and it's become boring.
2. McQueenMario (talk) I changed my mind. This is kinda funny, but per Lemmy Koopa Fan.

Lemmy Koopa Fan: Too long? It's not even been two weeks, just look at the images at the top of the page :P Time Q (talk)

Yes, I think this has been here for too long. Because it just doesn't have as much "pazazz" as the ones at the top of the page. So when there's a picture like this compared to the other ones, after about two weeks, it gets boring fast. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) P.S. When it comes to images like these, I'm slightly impatient.

I guess that's okay. Time Q (talk)

But please remember that Featured Images are not for us editors of this wiki, but rather for the readers. They probably have never seen this picture, and thus would not be "bored" if it was featured on the Main Page. Time Q (talk)

1. YellowYoshi127 (talk)Yoshi! Great Image and before you critizise that its boxart, its not, it resembles box-art.
2. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) I think I'll give it a yes. But if anyone finds a bigger one, upload it!
3. Timmy Tim (talk) This is like my Yoshi's Island DS one and that MP8 one, boxart plus more, I like it.
4. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! I don't consider this as the boxart since it's very slightly different, I support. Zero signing out.
5. Marioguy1 (talk) - You do know this is just a thumbnail right, all you people who think it's too small? It's very colorful to say the least.
6. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) It's shows so much in that picture, which is why I support this.
7. T.c.w7468 (talk) Per all! This is an awesome picture!
8. lpsc00l (talk) OMG!!! This is epic!!! If you find this picture in better quality, it is a winner!! But still I support it ALL the way!!!!!
9. Vini64 (talk) Wow, now the quality is a lot better. Opposers will change their minds :P
10. McQueenMario (talk) It's in better quality now!
11. Dry Luigi (talk) Overused, but still a good pic.
12. Time Q (talk): Now it's decent quality, I like it.
13. Electrobomber (talk) Yes, I agree it's overused but is still an up-to-date, good-quality photo.
14. LeftyGreenMario (talk) It's a beautiful picture! It needs to be featured.
15. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) In the boxart, there was no blue luma or ship, so it isn't just boxart. Very colorful too.
16. Toadster_04 (talk) Per all
17. Shyster66 (talk) Very beatiful picture but hard to see things in the background.

Oppose

1. Lu-igi board (talk) very, very, very, very, very boring.
2. Pie Shroom (talk) Poor quality, lots of black nothingness, and WAY too overused.
3. PT PRANA (talk) Ive got the game and its great, but this shot gets sooooo boring once you look at it a couple of time.
4. Dark Bowser (talk) Per Pie Shroom... on the over used part.

Yoshi! Pie shroom; of course there's lots of blackness, it IS in space after all whichis Kinda black. YellowYoshi127 (talk)

I am Zero! McQueenMario you know the original artwork is waaaaaaayyy bigger and clearer if you click on the image. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

Yoshi! I know not every image will win but I saw someone opposing because it was too small even though it goes up to 500 px when clicked on. YellowYoshi127 (talk)

McQueenMario is right, this image is quite small. Just compare it to our previous FIs. Time Q (talk)

Platitudinous (talk) McQueenMario, what does "to a better quality" mean?

To a better quality means to make it bigger. BTW, YellowYoshi127, I got that message and the image is still to small. McQueenMario (talk)

Ya, what article is it in? The links section is empty. Marioguy1 (talk)

That's right and I don't know why, 'cause it is used in this article. Time Q (talk)

You beat me, maybe it's because of some redirect or duplicate image...Marioguy1 (talk)

1. Dark Bowser (talk) I think it was a nice picture of Mario using a Pocket Chomp. Plus, Luigi just standing in the background is kinda funny.
2. LeftyGreenMario (talk) There might be a white background, but I haven't seen it a lot. I'll support.
3. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I was thinking about nominating it anyway
4. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Coool.
5. Karinmij (talk) per LeftyGreenMario
6. Electrobomber (talk) This is a good action picture, regardless of not having a background. Besides, I haven't see this pic at all before.

Oppose

1. Dark Bowser (talk) I love the picture, but I've seen this just too much...
2. lpsc00l (talk) There is a reason I won't vote for this. that's because Peach is close and Luigi is way over there. I hate that now Nintendo is pay more attention to "Mario and Peach" than "Mario and Luigi" Oh ,and this picture way over used.

4. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) This picture was just not meant to be. It's supposed to represent Wi-Fi on MKDS, not featured-image-worthy. And it's not just the quality, but the colour is also bad. Look at Wario and you'll see what I mean, his clothes look almost lime-green! (I'm not colour-blind)
5. Timmy Tim (talk) Per Time Q.
6. Shyster66 (talk) I'm with everyone else. Low quality.

Guys, seriously: You all admit that the picture has low quality, and yet you support it? You do know that, if featured, we are going to put the image on the main page, and if there's a low-quality image, this will cast a damning light on our wiki, right? Time Q (talk)

Marioguy1: This represents the Wi-fi capability in Mario Kart DS (it's the first Nintendo game to utilize it, I think) BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

Yeah. At least this image is more deserving than that horrible NSMBWii one.LeftyGreenMario (talk)

if a better quality one comes up i will support. until the I am nuetral. also Wario doesnt look lime green...... Lu-igi board 12:36, 16 September 2009 (EDT)
