This piece of promotional artwork is fun, high-quality, and big! The multiple Mario Brothers make this image really fascinating. =) -- Son of Suns (talk)

Indeed it is. x3 Tis a good thing I covered that image, by uploading a larger version. XD - RAP (talk)

As I said, that's just a lot of Marios in a blank background, too boring to be in the main space. Elvira Maltina (talk) 06:44, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

There's more than just Mario, and almost every promotional artwork has a white background. - Nerdy Guy (talk)

12. Yoshi Koshi Moshi (talk) - Per ForeverDaisy09. Very useful.

Oppose

1. Bloc Partier (talk) - Though it is amazing and I did upload it, it is... um... stolen... from here. Of course, this site got it from an official source, but with the small tag on the bottom it is not very official to have it featured.
2. PT PRANA (talk) - At first sight it looks oddly compelling, but it does get pretty boring once you've seen it a couple of times.

Comments

Well, I expect this to be shot down fairly quickly as "boring" or somesuch. Thing is, that isn't why I nominated it. I don't think it's exciting or beautiful, but I think it's informative. This is also sort of a hard image to find elsewhere on the internet. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk)

This is perfect. Though it is looking like the Mario Galaxy picture is gonna win, this is still perfect. This Wiki is about everything Mario, this picture represents the main cast in proportion to each other, giving us those little details no one else knew existed. Plus this picture is a rare find, thus showing the kind of mystical treasures this site has to offer. sonictoast (talk)

Woah!!! This is just PERFECT??? and i've no idea this could be possible to exist!!! it's the comparison of heights it's amazing Castle Toad (talk)

Would this be preferable? I don't see what's wrong with the tag, anyway. It's a caption, not a logo. Twentytwofiftyseven (talk)

It's a caption, yes. But it's a caption original to the image on that site, showing it's stolen. I still love the image though. :3 Bloc Partier (talk)

2. sonictoast (talk) - This would be better for the Super Wario Wiki.

Comments

No offense, but is Zafum's vote valid? It's like unfeaturing King K. Rool because "some people" could be "startled" when seeing a Donkey Kong character as the featured article... --Grandy02 17:22, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

Well, you're not forced to add a reason when voting, so it's valid. But I agree that Zafum's reason doesn't make much sense. Time Questions 19:38, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

Agree. Zafum said on the SSBB picture (who seems to be uploaded by me) that he saw it too much, while he didn't said newlings get startled because they see Link, Pit, pikachu, Pokémon Trainer, etc. on it. Glad he edited his vote. Arend (talk)

Well, whenever I vote for something I try to add some sort of reason to do so, and thats the first thing that came to mind. The real reason is probably because I don't really care for the Wario games. - Zafum (talk)

That's Nihaho to you Yoshi Koshi Moshi
