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.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.

11. Booman (talk) It's okay,and there's a boo in the benches.
12. Yoshi Koshi Moshi Nice 'n colorful.
13. ForeverDaisy09 (talk) Better than most other pictures we see.
14. Dark Lakitu 789 (talk) The quality is great,the picture isn't boring,even though almost every one seen this picture,it's great.
15. DaisyRox02 (talk) This is a great pic and a fun game!
16. 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.
17. Vini64 (talk) Even I don't like this game, this picture have everything to be featured.
18. Dry Luigi (talk) Great game, great pic.
19. LeftyGreenMario (talk) It's a colorful picture! Besides, the actual boxart doesn't show Wario, Waluigi, or Boo.
20. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Per LeftyGreenMario
21. PT PRANA (talk) This pic is way too overused, even in Europe, but Petey is in the background so its an automatic yes from me!
22. DiddyKing (talk) I love Mario Super Sluggers, and Diddy's in there, so it's a yes!
23. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Colorful, bright, and awesome! I love it!

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.
5. Lu-igi board (talk) I've decided box art shouldn't realy be featured.
6. Hrothgar (talk) Like Lu-igi board said, box art shouldn't be featured.
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...
11. Tonym101101 (talk) I like Super Mario Sluggers but I don't think this should be featured.

Comments

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)

I like how green and colourful the image is, but it centers too much around Mario and neglects the other charas in the background (And Bowser looks like he seriously needs a potty break *pats Bowser*). - Edofenrir (talk)

why wont this picture just die!!?? Lu-igi board 07:29, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

Quite obviously because there's 11 more support than oppose votes. (I don't know if you really wanted an answer but here ya go!) Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

Um... Come visit my page! And by the way I like it but it stinks in a way too... :-) ~~ Lolcats124 (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. Mario7727 (talk)This Picture From Super Mario 64 Looks So Cool!
11. Shyster66 (talk) I support for it's color.
12. Toadster_04 (talk) A nice quality image.
13. Dark Bowser (talk) I'll support...
14. Edofenrir (talk) Classic!
15. lewa159 (talk) Super Mario 64 is my favorite game ever, and this picture reperesents it soooo well.

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.
13. DaisyRox02 (talk) I should have opposed this the second I saw it! this makes Mario look huge and the planet look tiny. Who would want that to happen even if he's awesome? Also, theres a sky background! This picture was made slovenly.
14. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) I changed my mind. This picture has been here too long and it doesn't appeal to me anymore.
15. DiddyKing (talk) ........I'm speechless. This is worse than the Wario's Battle Canyon picture!
16. Alexclow345 (talk) Seems like a bland picture to me. Not FI worthy at all.

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)

I know! Like I said. It was made slovenly, there's too much that doen't fit in. It's like they just threw stuff in just to make it look epic.DaisyRox02 (talk)

DaisyRox02 has a good point. Give me one good reason to support this image, because I don't see anything better than some of the rejected image, and this is actually kind-of lame. Baby Mario Bloops (talk)

I can't beleive this image hasnt been eliminated yet! I also found that there is NOTHING that has detail, the most important thing about an image.DaisyRox02 (talk)

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
19. S.M.Sfreak (talk) It's a awesome picture with Luigi doing the green missle!
20. DiddyKing (talk) Pichu is riding on Bowser, which makes it extra awesome.
21. Lolcats124 (talk) Well Luigi is flying which is LOL, but the pic isn't box art. I like it. :-) P.S: Mr. Game and Watch is in there; he's awesome!

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.....
11. Totodile3456 (talk) it's not all mario characters :/
12. Edofenrir (talk) - I saw that picture on quite a lot of other pages already. If we put it at the main page, that'd be the same as saying "Hey, we are just one of the thousand other sites with Mario/Brawl content!" I doubt I'd want that to be thought about the wiki.

Platitudinous (talk)I got my Brawler Card on my page.

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 certainly do not like the fact that not even half of Bowser is visible on this picture, but opposing because my favourite character has a disadvantage on a picture seems not right to me, so I better abstain so I'll vote with a more valid reason. - Edofenrir (talk)

3. Lu-igi board (talk) per all. I can't wait to play this game!
4. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Very unique, and since it's an upcoming game it should go on the main page, but if there is one with a background then I'll reconsider. Zero signing out.
5. Timmy Tim (talk) We've already had an image based on the original, but I like it anyway.
6. Pixlfreak (talk) just can't say no
7. YourBuddyBill (talk)per all, and i cant wait either
8. Marioguy1 (talk) - I've decided that from now on my biggest concern in images will be the placement of characters and for this image, I rank it a Pass!
9. Nintendo fan (talk)- Can't wait and great artwork.
10. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Per all.
11. 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!
12. Dark boo (talk) Dispite the blank background this picture just looks so good it makes up for it.
13. Nintendo24 (talk) I can wait for this game to come out and the picture is really awesome even it has a white background.
14. Superstar Daisy (talk) I love it! It looks so cool and so......... Mario!
15. 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
16. Shyster66 (talk) I can't wait for this game so I support.
17. Tonym101101 (talk)I can't wait for this game and the pic rocks so I support it.
18. DiddyKing (talk)This game is gonna rock just as hard as this picture does.

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.
16. Edofenrir (talk) - It... it has no background. *refreshes* Uh, nope. Still no background. Just white emptyness. Hm, maybe if a version with a sky background or something like that is found, but in that state... better not.
17. McQueenMario (talk) - I changed my mind. After this has been here for so long and that new pic of NSMBWii pic is nominated, there is one point whatsoever of this being featured.

Comments

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)

This picture is stupid. I hope it gets removed soon. It only meets one condition of a FI: quality. And I don't consider FIs actually do-able on Paint for, like, 5 minutes. LeftyGreenMario (talk)

Lemmy Koopa Fan is right. People aren't considering the image itself (which can be done by almost any person) before voting. They are only supporting it 'cause the game looks epic. And yes, the game will surely be epic. Now, supporters, go find a "Which one of these games do you think will be great?" poll with a "NSMBWii" option on it and cast your votes there, not here. Paper Yoshi (talk)

Is anyone paying any attention to what me and Paper Yoshi just said?! Consider the image, people! Stop supporting because you think the game looks good! Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

I'm paying attention, but that won't do you any good because I am already opposing. Sadly, pleas like yours are a wasted effort... BTW I am greatly interested in that MS Paint replica. Could you upload it at an image dump site and give me the url? - Edofenrir (talk)

Sorry. I guess I clearly didn't think when I posted that comment :). Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

8. DaisyRox02 (talk) This is very cool. I like it because it reminds me of a Mario Kart image.
9. Paper Yoshi (talk) It's a great image, even with the blurry background (obviously that happens cause they're at high speed).
10. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) YES!!!! It could have more characters but YES!!
11. PT PRANA (talk) This pics great, but could include King.K.Rool on a giant barrel jet! Its still a cool pic, though.
12. Toadster_04 (talk) Love this picture.
13. Zafum (talk) - I like the blurry style of the picture, even if it doesn't have much in it.

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)

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)

I thought this picture was terrible from the very moment I first saw it. This should not go on the main page of the wiki. - Zafum (talk)

Comment

You could almost write a philosophical essay about this picture. It shows how if a conflict is settled, another one will immediately arise, symbolized by the allied Bob-ombs that attack the persons, who helped them forge their alliance in the first place. Apart from the philosophical aspect I must say that this picture is decently composed, even if Peach seems a bit too helpless and weak to me, and Yoshi in this pic somehow reminds me of yoghurt (I have absolutely no idea why). I will perhaps vote later when I thought about it long enough. - Edofenrir (talk)

Platitudinous (talk) It looks to me like Peach is using her powers from SMRPG.

I'd like to see that she's using her frying pan from SMRPG (I think she's just praying). - Edofenrir (talk) 14:24, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

I don't think characters "looking weird" is a valid reason to oppose because the characters at the time looked like that LeftyGreenMario (talk)

Yeah. We can't remove votes for "invalid reasons" here though. Time Q (talk)

I didn't say they all looked weird, I just meant Yoshi, because he didn't look like a frog in the original Mario Party games. The rest of the characters are just boring. By the way, wasn't it you who first said the characters looked strange, Time Q? - Zafum (talk) PS. if you think the opposers have "Invalid Reasons", then just look at most of the supporters.

No, I just expected other users to think they look strange :) Also, no reasons here are invalid, since there simply isn't any requirement to give a reason when voting on this page. Time Q (talk)

Guys, I never intended for people's votes to be removed (hey, anyone can have their own opinions)! Let me reword it: characters looking weird is an odd reason to oppose because, uh, I don't know. It's just odd. LeftyGreenMario (talk)

Hey, all you people opposing for some certain reason, let me put it this way: it's a battle scene, so you won't see all the pretty different colors like other images. This image looks very great for the N64 (just because we have better graphics means that all old ones are ugly). Everybody in that picture is doing a strange thing because Peach appears to be praying for peace, Mario, Luigi, & Wario, DK is holding a Wario flag (which means that the area belongs to them) and Yoshi appears to have been blown away by a bob-omb. It also has a very intense and interesting background, so it's not that boring as you think. Just think all about that, and see if you like that decision. Baby Mario Bloops (talk)

I don't think the N64 graphics look bad, but I just don't think they should have but a "Textured" mountain in this battle picture. It's just really out of place. I also don't doubt that the background is good, but the main points of focus in the picture are Mario and his friends (who I still think are all just boring), and the mountain (which I've already explained what I don't like about). - Zafum (talk)

3. Edofenrir (talk) - From a graphicer's point of view I'd say this picture lacks too much contrast to have an impressive effect. Yoshi's body can barely be distinguished from the background, Luigi's face is shown from an disadvantegeous perspective, the light reflections in Mario's eyes look misplaced, etc. etc. The other MP picture does this way better. Old man talks way too much, so to shorten his rant: Nah!

Comments

Vini64: Screenshots can be featured... Time Q (talk)

I know, this is just my opinion. I think screenshots are not good enough to be featured. Vini64 (talk)

Screenshots are pictures of the very essence the whole Marioverse is based on. They are in no way of lower value than other pictures. At least that's what I think. - Edofenrir (talk)

In my eyes, featuring this would be an excellent way to show that this wiki still acknowledges and appreciates the older games of the Mario series. The roots which made the series as big as it is today! - Edofenrir (talk)

Why does everybody keep voting because it's a great game? It was certainly a true classic, but if you really want this game to be on the front page, feature the whole SMB page. If you had never seen this game before, what would you think about this picture? - Zafum (talk)

I didn't vote because the game is great, but because the idea is great. See my reason above. - Edofenrir (talk)

It is a great idea, but I thought this was about the pictures themselves and not the games they come from. But that's just my opinion. - Zafum (talk)

I agree with Zafum, if someone can find a better quality picture from this game I'll support, for now I'll refrain from voting. - Karinmij (talk)

I don't see where this picture is low quality. It is not blurred and it is no jpg. How about some examples before just complaining about low quality? - Edofenrir (talk)

@Karinmij and McQueenMario: The screenshot isn't blurry and it is the standard size of NES screenshots. It CAN'T be better quality. --Grandy02 (talk)

It probably isn't flashy enough and has too few special effects... - Edofenrir (talk)

By better quality I meant that I'd prefer a bigger image. @Grandy02: why can't a NES-screenshot be of a bigger size? Or did I misunderstood? @Edofenrir: It doesn't have to be flashy for me :) - Karinmij (talk)

Well, we could double the size, but I can see how the people are complaining about how pixelated the picture is then. Also, I wasn't refering to you with my earlier comment. You were just saying your opinion in a polite way. There are some other comments that shock me way more, up to offending levels. - Edofenrir (talk)

@Karinmij: I just don't define the quality by the size of the pixels. Everyone can enlarge the pixels, be at a screenshot or any other picture, or one can even do that in the browser, it's still the same quality for me. I would have understood you if you had just said "size." ;-) --Grandy02 13:12, 15 October 2009 (EDT)

I just uploaded a larger version. Zafum (talk)

That was the same image scaled up in an image editor, which does not count as higher quality and wastes space. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk)

Also. Actual resolution is EXACT copy of NES resolution. Higher size can be now only trick.

wot have you got against bowser jr. Lemmy Koopa Fan? Lu-igi board 08:32, 18 October 2009 (EDT)

Chamchir9482: For an easy reason: Originally, you should only support because you think a picture is suitable for the main page, not because one of your favourite characters is in it. The fact that many people tend to forget that doesn't change the fact that this is the original purpose of the supporters! As for my case, there are f.e. tons of images around here with Bowser in it, but I do not simply support them because of that. - Edofenrir (talk)

5. Grandy02 (talk) It hardly represents Mario's history. Most games featured in this picture are from the 2000s.

Not any 90s game to see. It's just badly arranged.

7. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Per Grandy02. Any N64 Mario artwork is absent from this picture. Besides, it looks too crowded and clumped up.
8. Zafum (talk) - What's the point in featuring something that was already opposed in the past?

Chamchir: o_O???? How can I add something here if this picture is from Nintendo? This wallpaper is from the GameCube era, so the Star Spin is not there. Vini64 (talk)

It's invalid to add things to a picture. We can only cover official stuff here, and editing pictures will make the official character of an image forfeit- - Edofenrir (talk)

BabyLuigiOnFire: Clarify the part with fan art, please. If it really is fanart unapproved by Nintendo, we cannot use it. - Edofenrir (talk)

wow! the first contraversial pic to rear it's head on this page is back! (also my first nomination). <sniff> memories..... Lu-igi board 13:14, 20 October 2009 (EDT)

Edofenrir: Ok, so yeah, it is approved by Nintendo (see logo on upper right hand, missed that). I think it LOOKS like fanart. Or a better word for it is artwork mixed together. Sorry for the misunderstanding. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

2. McQueenMario (talk) This is great!
3. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Much better than my other one and its not really boxart as it shows extra stuff like the Yoshi's Island one.
4. Nintendo fan (talk) Just awsome
5. Fawfulfury65 (talk) It's so colorful and big!
6. Shyster66 (talk) Much better that other white background one. Plus updated pictures!

9. yes, yes, YES! Lu-igi board 15:11, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

Oppose

1. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Just don't like this picture. There is plenty of empty ground at the bottom that could have been filled if the artist so desired, so in other words; No.

1. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) - Well, lets hope that this passes (third times the charm)! I said that if there was a english one, it would be FI material, and here it is!! Very excellent artwork of the 7 Koopalings in the new game, New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
2. Vini64 (talk) Per Bloops.
3. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Now this one is better than the low quality one with (shudder) Bowser Jr. in it.

Oppose

1. Time Q (talk): Good quality, but apart from that I see absolutely nothing that makes this image FI-worthy. It's just a compilation of some characters in front of a white background... boring.
2. Shyster66 (talk) I'm tired of all the Kooplings Featured Images.
3. Fawfulfury65 (talk) The background says it all.
4. ]I hate it. Lu-igi board 15:12, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

I think that we should get rid of the other one on this page, so that they don't interfere with the nomiations... Baby Mario Bloops (talk)

It will be removed tomorrow anyway, since there are way more opposers than supporters. Time Q (talk)

Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Uhh.. Shyster66, there's only been one FI with the Koopalings in it. i'm not trying to make you remove your vote but still.

yes people the koopalings are in 3D. now that I've made this clear, please stop submiting terrible koopaling pictures. thankyou. Lu-igi board 15:15, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
