MarioWiki:Featured images
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
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.

- 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
- Baby Mario Bloops (talk) I think it looks great! Why not? It looks better than some past featured images.
- Booman (talk) Per Bloops.
- Platitudinous (talk) At first glance, the Minis looked strangely realistic.
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) Low Quality, but rare.
- 8-bits (talk) love pic not a big fan of the game though

- Koopa Troopa the fourth (talk) Unique pic and cool.
- Vini64 (talk) Yay, Mini-DK is blind!
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Per all.
Oppose
- Time Q (talk): Low quality. Even in its standard size, which is quite small, it's pixelated.
- McQueenMario (talk) Per Time Q.
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) Just plain boring. This shouldn't be a FI! Also, per Time Q.
- Paper Yoshi (talk) Per Time Q.
- Dry Luigi (talk) Per Time Q
- 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"
- Toadster_04 (talk) Per all. The quality is just too poor.
- Twentytwofiftyseven (talk) Small, blurry, and uninteresting image.
- Shyster66 (talk) Time Q's right.
- Dark Bowser (talk) Yup... Per Time Q.....
- Zafum (talk) - Although images have passed before this with resolutions almost as low as this one, this picture is very boring.
- Tonym101101 (talk) Per Time Q and I just don't think it should be featured.
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I had second thoughts about this picture. Think about placing this on the main page. It shouldn't go on the main page.
- Glitchman (talk) Frankly, a very lame image.
- Cacciaguida (talk) Low quality, and boring.
- LuigiMadness71 (talk) Why take a picture from Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the mini's? That game's just bland :P (Oh and Time Q's Right)
- S.M.Sfreak (talk) If you look real closely, you'll see that Mario needs to shave. (Just a little)
- Marioguy1 (talk) - Quality is too low.
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)
Avalanche!
- Subject: Avalanche! mini-game artwork from Mario Party 4.
- Nominated by: Vini64 (talk)
Support
- Vini64 (talk) 4535 x 3000... That's probably the biggest image in the MarioWiki. Perfect quality and it's also a funny scene.
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) I don't know why but I really like this picture. And it is big!
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Well even though the skis are blurred, DK looks weird with his teeth, and Mario's sideburns are a lighter shade of color, I still like this picture. Zero signing out.
- GalacticPetey (talk) This is why we have featured images!
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Poor Luigi XD.
- Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Oh, so now everyone is voting for a picture with a white background and not mine, now that is what I call cheap (pouts). Anyways, this picture is wonderful! White background or not, this is FI material (and so are some other white background pics...).
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Great pic and pretty good graphics/quality. XD Luigi
- Koopa Troopa the fourth (talk) It's a nice pic. luigi XD
- Lu-igi board quite nice. not the best pic, but good.
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) I like this picture. Unlike some other white background ones (namely the Koopaling one), this picture is funny (poor Luigi) and has action.
- Tucayo (talk) - Nice image
- PT PRANA (talk) Cool pic! It looks like something out of Mario+Sonic at the winter olympics.
- Pie Shroom (talk) Looks cool.
- lpsc00l (talk) Ha! it has a humorus plot to it. Poor Luigi takes the cuts and bruises while Mario escapes unharmed. Well Luigi is more clumsy....
Oppose
- Glitchman (talk) A strange image from a strange game, plus someone needs to reupload it, it's too big.
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) This is by no means a bad picture (I actually like it) but I think it would do much better if it had a scenery. Plus, it makes Luigi look strange...again.
- Marioguy1 (talk) - No background, yuck :P
- tonym101101 (talk) The image at full size looks good but I don't think it should be featured.
- MATEOELBACAN (talk) Per BabyLuigiOnFire and Marioguy1 also Yoshi doesn't appear at all and he's too far from the rest D=
- baby dk (talk) luigi+ball=epic fail
- Karinmij (talk) Per BabyLuigiOnFire on the Luigi-thing. That snowball looks like a marble with a Luigi-picture on it :S
- Cacciaguida (talk) DK looks possessed! Oh, and Mr. Green is a ball. But DK looks like he's possessed!
Comments
I wonder why it is that everyone cares so much about Luigi. I mean, what's so good about him? Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)
- Well, I don't know why (and yet even I said he was weird), but he looks like a total maniac snowman and some people (preferably Luigi fans) don't like to seem him like a snowman, or ball, or....yeah and I don't like Luigi getting, say, "owned." Only a few pictures have characters getting bad luck and this is one of them. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)
Mario Party Blast
- Subject: Mario and friends in Mario Party 7.
- Nominated by: Fawfulfury65 (talk)
Support
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) Big, high quality, colorful, bright, everything needed for a FI!
- Time Q (talk): Boxart, boxart, I know... but do we have any better images nominated at the moment? I don't think so.
- Reversinator (talk) Detail and color galore!
- MATEOELBACAN (talk) Funny Pic with a lot of characters,items and great background!
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Very detailed. I refuse to say it's "epic" because people say everything is epic these days...
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Colorful and per all.
- Baby Mario Bloops (talk) - When I put this up for nomination, it was put down by about 10 users, and now everyone is supporting this? Anyways, this is great, very detailed, very colorful, and has stuff to look at.
- Karinmij (talk) Per Fawfulfury.
- Platitudinous (talk) Ja.
- lpsc00l (talk) Wow!!! I think it is the perfect picture to featured. This picture is what the Mario games are all about : rivalry and friendship! And it has a whole cast of characters like Daisy, Waluigi, Wario, Birdo, and Toadette, characters that don't get featured as much as they should!
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) Colorful picture. When it was put down before by, what, 102 billion opposers, I was a little bit surprised.
- Tucayo (talk) - Really nice image.
Oppose
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! This was already nominated twice and it was put down. Zero signing out.
- Vini64 (talk) I don't like that wallpaper and... MARIO PARTY 7 F****NG SUCKS!!!
- Lu-igi board terrible.
- Pixlfreak (talk) It's boxart!!! if you want boxart up then you might as well put up a picture of the box
Comments
To all of you that will oppose because it's boxart: Yes, it is boxart...that was also nominated thrice. But go and find a more decent picture on this wiki to feature and let us know later on. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)
- Boxart has won FI status multiple times before. Reversinator (talk)
BMB: Yes, it was put down because of better pictures to be found. But now, go ahead and try finding a decent picture to nominate. It's so hard finding a good picture these days. :( BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)
What do you guys mean? This picture seems VERY high quality to me. Also, is that Olimar's ship in the background by the star?!! Fawfulfury65 (talk)
- Nah, it's just high quality. And that's just a generic spaceship from Neon Heights. I would like this picture more if it weren't used as boxart. And Mario and Luigi look strange with that white outline around them. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)
@Pixfreak: *facepalm* Are you blind? Come on, you didn't see the comments section? Reversinator (talk)
@Vini64 We do not want your opinion. Thank you. Cacciaguida (talk)
@Cacciaguida: You know what, I'd take his opinion over your comment any day. I think what you said was very mean and even if his vote is horribly worded, you just told him he doesn't matter in other words. Marioguy1 (talk)
Haunted Mansion
- Subject: Screenshot of the Haunted Mansion from Super Mario Galaxy.
- Nominater: Zero777 (talk)
Support
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Though sort of blurry, it does have a perfect angle of the screenshot. Zero signing out.
- LuigiMadness71 (talk) Ermmmmm... I am on support list so... i have to say I love that galaxy!
- Lu-igi board I enjoy the light and dark scenario either side of the house.
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) After I was thinking for a while, I think it would look all right on the main page. For some reason, I like that black hole near the house, it looks very strange.
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) There is something about that image that appeals to me. I don't know what it is, but maybe its that black hole and that light from outer space.
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Per all. There's something about the pic hat grabs my attention.
- Platitudinous (talk) OHMYGOSHI'MGONNADIE... oh, it's an awesome picture.
Oppose
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) It's just... not FI-worthy. It's good, but not good enough.
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) Its a boring picture of a random house. And no offense but... this is a terrible image, and it doesn't deserve to be featured. The black hole looks stupid in the picture, an there are random bones floating near the house. Sorry, but I hate this.
- Karinmij (talk) Indeed a rather different composition than most other pictures that are nominated here, but somehow it doesn't really work for me, so sorry but I'll oppose.
- Cacciaguida (talk) I'd save it for the Halloween season.
- Time Q (talk): Per Karinmij.

Princess Power!
- Subject: Artwork from Super Princess Peach.
- Nominated by: Fawfulfury65 (talk)
Support
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) Colorful, nice size, FI worthy!
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) Per the Fawful of Fury 60+5 (I don't know why I worded it strangely :P)
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) It was nominated already, buuut when was the last time we had a good Super Princess Peach image? Oh that's right, never. Per 65 furies made by Fawful.
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Though this was already featured I'll like to see this one again. Zero signing out.
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) I like the expressions on the Toads' faces. The only thing that bothers me is the quality of the image.
- Lu-igi board I nominated this once
- Karinmij (talk) Though I can't even remember if I did support or oppose this picture the first time it was nominated, I've decided to support it now because it looks colorful and has a sort of nice (round) composition
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Per all.
- CutyDaisy (talk) It is a very very very nice picture! I luv it!
Oppose
- Cacciaguida (talk) I don't know, just looking at it makes me want to punch a wall or something.
Comments
Zero: Did you mean "nominated" instead of "featured"? Because from what I know, the picture is not featured yet. If it were, it would have a smelly Shine sprite in the upper right hand corner of the image. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)
Peach's Birthday Cake
- Subject: Peach's Birthday cake from Mario Party
- Nominated by: BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)
Support
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Though might get put down by users because they think Mario Party images are overused for the main page, I wish to feature this because it's very colorful, the characters are expressive, good quality, and this cake makes me hungry!
- LeftyGreenMario (talk) I like all Mario Party images; they are colorful and expressive. And I don't really care if DK looks like an orangutan. Awesome old images don't deserve this much hate.
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) It looks like they're all saying "Holy shmoly!"
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) This picture is great (look at Wario)!!! And per BLOF.
- Lu-igi board I will nominate only for Wario's face. LOL!
- Karinmij (talk) Mmm, that cake looks delicious :) Colorful picture!
- Baby Mario Bloops (talk) This had to been the perfect christmas card for the MP back then when it can out. Some funny, especially Wario, and the colors blend together very nicely...
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Good quality, big image, and Wario fails...
Oppose
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! The reason why I didn't nominate this when I nominated two or three MP pictures at the same time is that DK looks like an orangutan. Zero signing out.
Comments
Platitudinous (talk) Zero777: It's "orangutan." I think.
Subspace Door
Support
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! This image is different from other images showed on featured images, and it's a nice large image. Zero signing out.
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I like it. It looks awesome, suitable for the main page, and a bit freaky. When I first saw it, I thought, good image.
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) The door looks eerily pretty to me.
- Karinmij (talk) I agree with Zero, it's different. Nice image!
- Gamefreak75 (talk) Per Zero. Not only is the background intricate and colorful, but the door itself id uniquely shaped, which makes it stand out.
Oppose
- Time Q (talk): Looks weird...
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) Yeah... I don't know about this one. Its kind of random and not very exciting for me...
- Edofenrir (talk) - It's a little bland... It would make a nice background, but there is nothing going on in the foreground... No characters... No action... :/

Rickety Race
- Subject: Rickety Race artwork from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest.
- Nominated by: Fawfulfury65 (talk)
Support
- Fawfulfury65 (talk) Fantastic picture (in my opinion) with a ton of detail and color. I really the like the fireworks and the ferrous wheel in the background. The lights all look spectacular around the background, too! Also, the picture is MASSIVE, and even covers those stupid advertisements XD! Just a great picture!
- BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Ooh, pretty lights! Anyway, colorful image and pretty large, plus high qualiy. The only concern is the lighting. Did and Dix look makes it look like the picture is taking place in the daytime, buuuut the unique image and the lights make up for that.
- Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk) The Kritter looks a teensy bit faded to me but other than that it's an awesome colourful picture with fireworks and a whole bunch of other interesting things.
- Time Q (talk): Now that's what I call an FI-worthy image. It's a bit dark, but I guess that doesn't really matter.
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! I'll love to ride on that roller coaster. Zero signing out.
- Karinmij (talk) Per above, lot's of detail and high quality in my opinion.
Oppose
