MarioWiki:Featured articles/N1/Super Mario Run

Support

 * 1) It was the first ever Mario game to be played on a mobile device.

Oppose

 * 1) If that's the reason the article deserves to be featured, I'm gonna say no. Featured articles are for well-written, shining examples of articles on the wiki, not nominating it because it's your favourite game for example.
 * 2) Yeah, it's just a fan vote at worst.
 * 3) I'm going to assume that this nomination was up because the author thinks it's actually a quality article and not because he hasn't read the rules at all and I'll jump in and provide feedback on what could be improved. For starters, the game modes section is missing very vital information. There's no Kingdom Builder and no World Tour descriptions at all. Some information and vital features such as the user's ability to insert their own music is omitted as well, and I haven't even played the game to notice that. The obstacles and Item and Objects section is just a list of items with no images nor description of them, forcing users to possibly sift through links to find the item they're actually looking for. The levels section under World Tour is just a simple list of levels when it could be better organized and presented (see how other Featured Articles list their levels, such as Donkey Kong Country and Mario Party: Star Rush. With a game additionally receiving constant updates, it would benefit the article to have an Update history section similar to how Mario Kart 8 does i.
 * 4) This does not qualify for featuring, and your vote is flawed anyways.  Fan votes are not permitted.  This is almost as ridiculous as this.  Maybe this qualifies for BJAODN as well!

@Baby Luigi: I think that world-level tables are better suited for the world articles; just saying. 15:33, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * Possibly. But I still think the list would heavily improve with at least an image of each level. I see the screenshot with the thumbnails, someone could crop the thumbnails out and use these as level icons to improve the presentation. 15:35, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * Took a while, but I did it. See File:SMR W1-1 thumbnail.JPG. It will take a while for me to do this. Also, I am far from obtaining all the Challenge Coins (which will cause an inconsistency with an this image). 15:56, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * I think it'd be better if it was exclusively the level image, without the white border and the title. The level names are going to be in plain text for links, so it's redundant. 15:58, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * I agree. You probably have to use a sophisticated image editing program that either supports round borders or smooth cropping to get a decent result from displaying only the thumbnail. So maybe you should make it a .png for transparency support. 16:06, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * These images automatically save as JPGs, so converting them to PNGs is against policy. As for the image, I can get as close as I can to the image. As, I just did. 16:15, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * I think it looks pretty good, but tbh, in this case with rounded corners, applying transparency would look better on the article and that requires it to be in .png. Still I suppose that is also acceptable. 16:34, 24 November 2017 (EST)
 * I quickly created a look for these levels. (See User:Yoshi_the_SSM/Wiki_Work_Space.) This is the only look that I thought would work best (as template didn't look quite right and using a premade image in a template like the maps wouldn't work because the template wouldn't need to be on every level page and shouldn't). 17:16, 24 November 2017 (EST)
