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.

Featured Image Nominations

Smash Bros Army

• Subject: The cast of Super Smash Bros Melee, assembled for battle.
• Nominated by: YellowYoshi127 (talk)

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. 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. 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.
13. Superstar Daisy (talk) This is actually pretty good.
14. Dry Luigi (talk) Great pic possibly better than the Brawl one.
15. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Melee was fun! The picture is nice! Great game with great picture!
16. LeftyGreenMario (talk) A great image from a great game.
17. Shyster66 (talk) Very actiony. Plus, Luigi's shooting himself
18. S.M.Sfreak (talk) It's a awesome picture with Luigi doing the green missle!
19. DiddyKing (talk) Pichu is riding on Bowser, which makes it extra awesome.
20. 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.
13. Tonym101101 (talk) Per Toadboy911.

Yoshi! Looks Even Better bigger... YellowYoshi127 (talk)

YourBuddyBill (talk) if only roy and mewtwo were in brawl...

Mario freak (talk) IS PICHU RIDING ON BOWSER!

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)

Zafum voted twice Dark boo (talk)

I removed his second vote. Time Q (talk)

Uh, he voted twice again BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

Platitudinous (talk) Lu-igi Board, do you mean "bliss"?

How is being "out of date" such a bad thing? It's still a good image. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

7. Hrothgar (talk) Per all.
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.

Oppose

1. McQueenMario (talk) - There are only three characters and the background in blurry. Really boring!
2. lpsc00l (talk) Yawn!!! It is SOOO boring. this should NEVER be featured!!!
3. Superstar Daisy (talk) This is blah. :P
4. Mario304 (talk) I agree with McQueenMario.
5. Dry Luigi (talk) Per McQueenMario
6. Vini64 (talk) This is the MarioWiki, not DonkeyKongWiki.
7. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Too boring to be featured
8. Shyster66 (talk) Too blury
9. LeftyGreenMario (talk) It looks so empty. This is not a bad picture, but it's just not good enough to be featured.
10. Dark Bowser (talk) Per LeftyGreen...
11. DiddyKing (talk) I never thought there would be a bad Donkey Kong game. Then I bought Barrel Blast. This pic is just as bad as the game.

3. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) This is a screenshot? It looks like artwork. And this picture is also very unique. i've never seen it before.
4. lpsc00l (talk) Awww! I like it.It's cute. Plus I never saw it any where else!!!

9. Marioguy1 (talk) - There is no blank space or lack of characters...
10. Karinmij (talk) Though I agree with Time Q that it's a low quality picture (when enlarged), I really like it so I support this one :)
11. Pixlfreak (talk) it's one of those screenshots that you really want and can never find online!!! Like all the other good screenshots out there that Nintendo doesn't care about and we do
12. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) I think it looks great! Why not? It looks better than some past featured images.
13. Booman (talk) Per Bloops.
14. Platitudinous (talk) At first glance, the Minis looked strangely realistic.
15. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I loved the picture at first...and still like it! It's a rare image.

17. 8-bits (talk) love pic not a big fan of the game though
18. DaisyRox02 (talk) This pic reminds me of the game, epic and fun!
19. Lolcats124 (talk) Cool! The mini Mario looks like a Lego but who cares? Realistic pics are cool! ;-)

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.
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.
9. Shyster66 (talk) Time Q's right.
10. Dark Bowser (talk) Yup... Per Time Q.....
11. Zafum (talk) - Although images have passed before this with resolutions almost as low as this one, this picture is very boring.
12. Tonym101101 (talk) Per Time Q and I just don't think it should be featured.

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)

Mario in the Forest of Illusion

File:SMW Forest of illusion scene art.PNG

• Subject: Artwork from Super Mario World depicting Mario, Goombas, Wigglers and a Bob-omb in the Forest of Illusion
  
• Nominated by: Time Q (talk)

Support

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!
8. Tucayo (talk) Simply LOVE SMW artwork
9. Pixlfreak (talk) I love comical moments like this!!
10. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Liked the game, liked the picture
11. Shyster66 (talk) Another comical moment
12. Dark Bowser (talk) I like Mario's expression in this picture!
13. era64 (talk)I like SMW, artworks of this game. SMW doesn't have Wigglers and Bubbles simultaneously, but this is nothing.

Oppose

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.
3. Zafum (talk) - This picture looks sort of... cut off, and it's boring as well. Just another all-round bad picture.
4. LeftyGreenMario (talk) - Nice too look at once in a while, but it's a boring picture.

Comments

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)

I thought this picture was cool from the very moment I first saw it. This should go on the main page of the wiki. :P Time Q (talk)

Wario's Battle Canyon

• Nominated by: Zero777 (talk)

Support

1. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! This picture I like and it's funny. This picture tells a lot, though it shows little. I thought to myself if the other Mario party pic. is going well and will most likely pass, why not this one. This scene sort of look like it came out of a movie, which movie I'm not sure. Zero signing out.
2. Shyster66 (talk) Yeah, I like this picture, very funny.
3. Booman (talk) Wario is going to get owned
4. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Very great and very funny at the same time! (Look at Yoshi, one of the best LOL moment)
5. Karinmij (talk) I'll support.
6. Time Q (talk): Good one. I wonder why there's no one complaining yet how strange the characters look...
7. Monteyaga (talk): This is an EPIC pic. And t is funny. Has my vote.
8. Platitudinous (talk) AWESOME! Yoshi fell LOL. :)
9. Vini64 (talk) Yoshi is... gah, never mind... I'll support it ;D!
10. Gamefreak75 (talk) Definitely. Picture is both hilarious and shows that Wario owns.
11. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Even if it doesn't exactly have the best quality in the world, it is funny and shows alot, which is good enough to get my vote.
12. Dry Luigi (talk) Great pic and per Lemmy Koopa Fan.
13. Dark Bowser (talk) Very funny and its got my support!
14. Pixlfreak (talk) I've never actually seen it before!! it's funny!!
15. Marioguy1 (talk) - The images are really clear and the sunset background just makes it perfect!
16. LeftyGreenMario (talk) - It's a great picture! I love all of the MP1 pictures! Who cares if it's old? (Zero and some others, why did you oppose my beach MP1 picture saying how "old" and "outdated" it is? This one is the same thing)
17. Edofenrir (talk) - I finally reached consensus with myself, horray! So, for the high level of interpretion and thought one conflicted mind can put in this picture, my appreciation goes to the creators, and my support goes into this poll.
18. Mario304 (talk)- High quality, very comical and great character interaction. I want this on the Main Page!

Oppose

1. Lu-igi board (talk) ewwwww...... very ugly picture....
2. Fawfulfury65 (talk) Per Lu-igi Board. It's not very colorful. Also, what's with Yoshi?!
3. Timmy Tim (talk) I'm sick of MP images.
4. Zafum (talk) All of the characters are either doing something extremely boring, or they look weird. And the mountain that their standing on looks just like the n64 graphics, which not only looks bad, but makes too much unneeded contrast. Per Fawfulfury and Lu-igi board.
5. McQueenMario (talk) Per all.
6. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Though I like Mario Party pictures, I wouldn't want to see this on the main page.
7. DiddyKing (talk) Yikes! Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
8. GalacticPetey (talk) This is a joke... Look at the Poor graphics. This Image makes Yoshi look bad, and this was a terible game!
9. Tonym101101 (talk) Per BabyLuigiOnFire.

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)

1. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! If you look at this one at it's full size it has quite the opposite of the Wario's battle canyon one, this one has more of a heavenly look or feeling to it. Zero signing out.
2. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Poor Wario. He looks like he's about to die.
3. Marioguy1 (talk) - Very clear
4. Dark Bowser (talk) HAHA! Wario! Per Zero.
5. Shyster66 (talk) I'll accept.
6. LeftyGreenMario (talk) I like the picture. It's funny because Luigi is grabbing Wario by the leg, and you see Wario dangling off over there. The characters even look like they are struggling to hold on to Mario. This is a great picture.
7. Gamefreak75 (talk) WOAH?! I didn't know Luigi was that strong. Fully support.
8. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) You got to be kidding me! I can't believe we all haven't nominated this before! We have it as the FA sign background. This image is amazing! Such artwork deserves this! P.S. If you are opposing because you are tired of MP pictures, then don't vote!
9. Monteyaga (talk) Per Gamefreak. I twould have totally dropped him if I was holding on to him.. Not because I 'm weak like luigi, I think he is SANTA CLAUS DEVIL!
10. Karinmij (talk) Very colorful :)
11. Mario304 (talk) I have always wanted this image to be on the Main Page!

15. Pie Shroom (talk) Somewhere over the rainbow Per 0777.
16. Tonym101101 (talk) This is a cool looking pic.

Oppose

1. McQueenMario (talk) I would support, but I've seen this on the FAs pages lots of times. So no.
2. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Though the quality is high, this picture is very boring to look at.
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!
4. Timmy Tim (talk) Per 'the old man'. I'm also sick of MP images and they're making this place unoriginal, can someone please find an image not from MP that's good quality?
5. DaisyRox02 (talk) I've seen this image way too much. It's not great.
6. Lu-igi board (talk) I hate it.

I am Zero! Let me tell you this, it's hard to look for an image to nominate even if you press the random page button! Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

15. McQueenMario (talk) Upload it in better quality, and I'll support. Tis good now!
16. Pixlfreak (talk) CLASSIC!!
17. era64 (talk) Lower the quality! It's fantastic... wait... isn't that artwork? It's scene from game. Memories...

Oppose

1. Zafum (talk) - I think that the Mario Bros. series was good, but you can't just go putting NES pictures on the featured image page. It's extremely low quality and really doesn't look good in the first place.
2. Vini64 (talk) Per Zafum and it's still a screenshot.
3. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) The picture is too small, it's only a screenshot, it isn't very colorful at all, and it doesn't look interesting. It may be a classic, but that still doesn't make it F.I. worthy.
4. Mario64fanatic (talk)This is just a boring no-color, black backrounded, 8-bit, 2 character, bad quality picture. I can't see it getting Featured. Might as well make a terrible drawed picture of Mario by a 5-year old and put that up as a Featured Pic.
5. LeftyGreenMario (talk) No. This should not be a featured image. Why? Anyone can go to a sprite resource and paste these sprites together. This picture is not colorful, interesting, or very epic (IMO)
6. Dry Luigi (talk) Looks like a screenshot (is it?) bad quality and boring not much happening.
7. Dark Boo (talk) Kinda boring and dull.
8. Pie Shroom (talk) Hate to say this, but........ per all.

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.

1. Vini64 (talk) I need to say something? =P
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!
7. DiddyKing (talk) This......this is perfection.
8. Pixlfreak (talk) I LIKE!!
9. I preffered the white background one, but sure... Lu-igi board
10. Tonym101101 (talk) I can't wait for this game! This pic rocks!
11. Gamefreak75 (talk) YES, definitely!
12. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Despite all the characters being on the same depth, this picture is awsome, I'll love to see this one on the main page. Zero signing out.
13. Platitudinous (talk) Better than white-backgrounded one.

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.
2. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) The image is too small plus like Lemmy said, there's too much underground on the bottom. Plus, some artwork is recycled (including the Goomba, because only its eyes changed).
3. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Colorful and all, but this picture is low quality. There are recycled art too (can't tolerate that) and Nintendo put so much emphasis on the GROUND.
4. Pie Shroom (talk) Per all.

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.
4. Dimenshi Knight (talk) It is actually not bad. Dimenshi Knight can really see it on the main page...He definitely agrees with this!!!
5. YellowYoshi127 (talk) Yoshi! Those who moan about a white back, the Pocket Chomp had one and that got featured. I personally love this image.
6. DiddyKing (talk) Per YellowYoshi127.
7. Chamchir9482 (talk) Per all.
8. Bowser the Second (talk) Per all.
9. Platitudinous (talk) Per Al.
10. Tonym101101 (talk) I can't wait for this game to come out, I want some picture from the game to be featured.
11. McQueenMario (talk) Yes, I'm supporting. The reason is because...well, I put it this way, who wasn't exited when they saw this pic!

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)
5. Pie Shroom (talk) Per Time Q ('cept for the white background sucks part).
6. Marioguy1 (talk) - Like I've said before, wait until the game comes out.
7. Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Though having good quality it's just a blank picture with the koopalings pasted on there. This image will do better as a featured article on the koopalings. Zero signing out.
8. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) This picture is very boring to look at and if it's single artwork placed together, of course it would have good quality!

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)

Who got rid of Dimenshi Knight's vote?!? Dimenshi Knight

Whoops, that might have been me, i tried to revert my mistake on the magazine one by replacing it with this one then realizing that it was at the bottom already. SOrry :( YellowYoshi127 (talk)

I re-added the vote. Time Q (talk)

This is a great picture and I voted for it but... you should remove the English in the title. There is no text so it could be Spanish or Japaneses or Korean. Just saying. No I'm not forcing you. Chamchir9482 (talk)
