:The "''Either of dimensions must never exceed the half of the other dimension. (e.g : If the height is 200, the width should not exceed 100)''" point seems redundant: the dimensions of the maps should already be predetermined by the art/rips they're based on, right? I also question the need for platformer image maps ''at all''. They've always struck me as a bit superfluous, especially for linear games - like [[Template:YISMA3_Map]] - what's the point? The level numbers are right there already, so it's not like an amorphous RPG map or whatever... This point is also really unclear: "''Image Maps of multiple Select Level screens in the same game must share the same template with a variable to specify the World.

I can remember a passed proposal about regional differences. I just want to know, where will this kind of information be present? I want to take ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
