MarioWiki:Featured images

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

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.

 * Subject: Main subject of image; include a link to the article it is included in. (Example: 1-Up Mushroom)

Smash Bros Army

 * Subject: The cast of Super Smash Bros Melee, assembled for battle.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! This is a great pic, great quality and Not Box-art!
 * 2) 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) per Zero, I only opposed the SSBB picture so it could be deleted as it was around for way too long.
 * 4) Very good! My favorite so far!
 * 5) I SEE ROY!!! (and young link with his milk) can't say no to this
 * 6) - I like this one.
 * 7) I remember how amazed I was when I first saw this picture.  It's great.
 * 8) 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) 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) looks awesome
 * 12) 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) This is actually pretty good.
 * 14) Great pic possibly better than the Brawl one.
 * 15) Melee was fun! The picture is nice! Great game with great picture!
 * 16) A great image from a great game.
 * 17) Very actiony. Plus, Luigi's shooting himself
 * 18) It's a awesome picture with Luigi doing the green missle!
 * 19) Pichu is riding on Bowser, which makes it extra awesome.
 * 20) 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!
 * 21) I love this game! lol luigi
 * 22) It took me a while, but I've decided to support this picture, partial because of sentimental reasons, partly because of the variety of characters on it.

Oppose

 * 1) i just think of this as the Brawl one.... they were used a lot in the past.
 * What the!? LOOK AT LUIGI!!!
 * 1) I am really tired of this image. P.S. Luigi is doing Green Missile.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) ...I hope this wont turn into a war like the Mario Party DS picture...
 * 4) - With so many characters, the image looks (to me) like a mess at 300px.
 * 5) I'd like the SSBB cast better than this. It's just more action-packed than this.
 * 6) it has too much going on!!! When i first saw the picture i was looking for Luigi...i found him.....IN THE SKY!!!
 * 7) Image is extremely overused.
 * 8)  it can't stay here for ever.....
 * 9) it's not all mario characters :/
 * 10) - 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.
 * 11) Per Toadboy911.
 * 12) - No, just no. It's fine and all, just it is not meant for that FI status.
 * 13) wow peach is as tall as bowser.

Comments
Yoshi! Looks Even Better bigger...

if only roy and mewtwo were in brawl...

IS PICHU RIDING ON BOWSER!

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.

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. -

Zafum voted twice
 * I removed his second vote.
 * Uh, he voted twice again
 * ...removed it again, thanks.

Lu-igi Board, do you mean "bliss"?

no.....I imagine it is not a word americans are used to. Lu-igi board

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

Well, I am an American... I do not say "bliss" that often. I say.. well I don't know what I say. I just talk. :-) Lolcats124

you're getting confused lolcats; the word platitudinous didn't understand was "bless" as in "arr bless, that picture's great." Lu-igi board 02:46, 3 November 2009 (EST)

Barrel Blasting through the Jungle

 * Subject: DK Barrel Blasters Scene of a few characters. Enlarge to see better.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! There have been no DK featured Images so far so i decided to do DK some justice with this picture. Fun to look at as well.
 * 2) Im not really a DK fan but this picture looks really good.
 * 3) I am Zero! Smae thing as the MKDD!! one, I'll support, it can have a comment like, "One lap for Donkey Kong to go!" Zero signing out.
 * 4) - This image is very descriptive, if you enlarge it you can see everything crystal clear.
 * 5) per all.
 * 6) the best DK pic I've ever seen! Lu-igi board 09:33, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) This is very cool. I like it because it reminds me of a Mario Kart image.
 * 9) It's a great image, even with the blurry background (obviously that happens cause they're at high speed).
 * 10) YES!!!! It could have more characters but YES!!
 * 11) This pics great, but could include King.K.Rool on a giant barrel jet! Its still a cool pic, though.
 * 12) Love this picture.
 * 13) - I like the blurry style of the picture, even if it doesn't have much in it.

Oppose

 * 1) - There are only three characters and the background in blurry. Really boring!
 * 2) Yawn!!! It is SOOO boring. this should NEVER be featured!!!
 * 3) This is blah. :P
 * 4) I agree with McQueenMario.
 * 5) Per McQueenMario
 * 6) This is the MarioWiki, not DonkeyKongWiki.
 * 7) Too boring to be featured
 * 8) Too blury
 * 9) It looks so empty. This is not a bad picture, but it's just not good enough to be featured.
 * 10) Per LeftyGreen...
 * 11) 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.

Comments
to those whom care...: I'm going on holiday to Italy today, so you wont see me for 2 weeks :O. see ya later!!! Lu-igi board 05:25, 12 August 2009 (EDT)

Vini64: So what? We cover the Donkey Kong series just as we cover the Mario series.
 * Oh yeah, that's right. Sorry.

Battle of the Minis

 * Subject: Mario and DK placing bets on their minis.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! I know its a screen shot an all but its just great with good lighting and fun to look at.
 * 2) Let's see how this turns out...
 * 3) This is a screenshot? It looks like artwork. And this picture is also very unique. i've never seen it before.
 * 4) Awww! I like it.It's cute. Plus I never saw it any where else!!!
 * 5) - Nice image, like the reality of it
 * 6) Per Lemmy.
 * 7) I am Zero! Great resolution and overall a great picture to be in the main page. Zero signing out.
 * 8) this image is full of power! Lu-igi board 04:30, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
 * 9) - There is no blank space or lack of characters...
 * 10) 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) 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) I think it looks great! Why not? It looks better than some past featured images.
 * 13) Per Bloops.
 * 14) At first glance, the Minis looked strangely realistic.
 * 15) Low Quality, but rare.
 * 16) love pic not a big fan of the game though
 * 17) This pic reminds me of the game, epic and fun!
 * 18) Cool! The mini Mario looks like a Lego but who cares? Realistic pics are cool! ;-)
 * 19) cool

Oppose

 * Low quality. Even in its standard size, which is quite small, it's pixelated.
 * 1) Per Time Q.
 * 2) Just plain boring. This shouldn't be a FI! Also, per Time Q.
 * 3) Per Time Q.
 * 4) Per Time Q
 * 5) 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"
 * 6) Per all. The quality is just too poor.
 * 7) Small, blurry, and uninteresting image.
 * 8) Time Q's right.
 * 9) Yup... Per Time Q.....
 * 10) - Although images have passed before this with resolutions almost as low as this one, this picture is very boring.
 * 11) Per Time Q and I just don't think it should be featured.
 * 12) I had second thoughts about this picture. Think about placing this on the main page. It shouldn't go on the main page.

Comments
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.

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.

Yeeeaaahhh...? It doesn't really seem THAT small. I still think it's featured image worthy.

Yoshi! Time Q, main page resolution is lower than this one.
 * 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.

Great... looks like this is going to be our first low-quality FI... oh well :(

Mario in the Forest of Illusion

 * Subject: Artwork from Super Mario World depicting Mario, Goombas, Wigglers and a Bob-omb in the Forest of Illusion
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * It's a quite funny scene in a likeable comic style from an excellent Mario game :P
 * 1) Well, we currently have one that's similar, but you do have a point.
 * 2) Ehh, What the heck! I'll support it.
 * 3) - It accurately shows the many different varieties of foes available in that certain level of Super Mario World, no more, no less.
 * 4) wow this is just epic!
 * 5) It's awesome.
 * 6) Every Super Mario World artwork must be featured :D!
 * 7) Simply LOVE SMW artwork
 * 8) I love comical moments like this!!
 * 9) Liked the game, liked the picture
 * 10) Another comical moment
 * 11) I like Mario's expression in this picture!
 * 12) I like SMW, artworks of this game. SMW doesn't have Wigglers and Bubbles simultaneously, but this is nothing.

Oppose

 * 1) Alright this has been here for too long and it's become boring.
 * 2) I changed my mind. This is kinda funny, but per Lemmy Koopa Fan.
 * 3) - This picture looks sort of... cut off, and it's boring as well. Just another all-round bad picture.
 * 4) - Nice too look at once in a while, but it's a boring picture.
 * 5) Per LeftyGreenMario.

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

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. P.S. When it comes to images like these, I'm slightly impatient.
 * I guess that's okay.
 * 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.
 * 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. -
 * 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

Wario's Battle Canyon

 * Subject: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Wario at Wario's Battle Canyon.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) 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) Yeah, I like this picture, very funny.
 * 3) Wario is going to get owned
 * 4) Very great and very funny at the same time! (Look at Yoshi, one of the best LOL moment)
 * 5) I'll support.
 * Good one. I wonder why there's no one complaining yet how strange the characters look...
 * This is an EPIC pic. And t is funny. Has my vote.
 * 1) AWESOME! Yoshi fell LOL. :)
 * 2) Yoshi is... gah, never mind... I'll support it ;D!
 * 3) Definitely. Picture is both hilarious and shows that Wario owns.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) Great pic and per Lemmy Koopa Fan.
 * 6) Very funny and its got my support!
 * 7) I've never actually seen it before!! it's funny!!
 * 8) - The images are really clear and the sunset background just makes it perfect!
 * 9) - 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)
 * 10) - 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.
 * 11) - High quality, very comical and great character interaction. I want this on the Main Page!
 * 12) Huzzah!

Oppose

 * 1) ewwwww...... very ugly picture....
 * 2) Per Lu-igi Board. It's not very colorful. Also, what's with Yoshi?!
 * 3) I'm sick of MP images.
 * 4) 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) Per all.
 * 6) Though I like Mario Party pictures, I wouldn't want to see this on the main page.
 * 7) Yikes! Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
 * 8) This is a joke... Look at the Poor graphics. This Image makes Yoshi look bad, and this was a terible game!
 * 9) 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. -
 * 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). - 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
 * Yeah. We can't remove votes for "invalid reasons" here though.
 * 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? - 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.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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). -

The First Battle

 * Subject: The first battle against Bowser in Super Mario Bros.
 * Nominated By:

Support

 * 1) I think this is a fantastic picture, and it really deserves to be on the Main Page.
 * 2) - This... is... genius! Featuring this might establish a splendid and impressive contrast! Plus, I have a thing for pixel graphics! Absolutely per!
 * 3) - It's the 80s! Whats so bad about that? Per Edofenrir.
 * 4) I don't know what to say. I'll just Support.
 * 5) Per Edo.
 * 6) Sign what ever happedned to the retro games?
 * 7) - I like the good old games with power stars.
 * 8) I am Zero! Though this is a screenshot, this is a true classic that deserves to be in the Main Page. Zero signing out.
 * 9) This is what i call awesomeness!
 * 10) I don't know what's making me do it, but I'm supporting it!
 * 11) I've been meaning to nominate a SMB screenshot.
 * 12) While this is history! This made Mario Mario! Go Mario! Lol!
 * 13) history's most epic fight captured perfectly!
 * 14) It's classic!
 * 15) Upload it in better quality, and I'll support. Tis good now!
 * 16) CLASSIC!!
 * 17) Lower the quality! It's fantastic... wait... isn't that artwork? It's scene from game. Memories...
 * 18) What a classic scene, deserves to be a featured image.
 * 19) it is the bomb

Oppose

 * 1) - 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) Per Zafum and it's still a screenshot.
 * 3) 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) 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) 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) Looks like a screenshot (is it?) bad quality and boring not much happening.
 * 7) Kinda boring and dull.
 * 8) Hate to say this, but........ per all.
 * 9) - Dimenshi doesn't care what you all think, but this is horrible! He has no trouble with screenshots, but this is just absolutely boring! Sorry, but this is like saying that the older the picture, the more it should be a FI. Well, in that state, Dimenshi should find a random picture of pong and nomiate it! That is all...

Comments
Vini64: Screenshots can be featured...
 * I know, this is just my opinion. I think screenshots are not good enough to be featured.
 * 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. -

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! -

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? -
 * I didn't vote because the game is great, but because the idea is great. See my reason above. -
 * 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. -
 * 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. -
 * 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? -
 * @Karinmij and McQueenMario: The screenshot isn't blurry and it is the standard size of NES screenshots. It CAN'T be better quality. --
 * It probably isn't flashy enough and has too few special effects... -
 * 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 :) -
 * 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. -
 * @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.
 * That was the same image scaled up in an image editor, which does not count as higher quality and wastes space.
 * Also. Actual resolution is EXACT copy of NES resolution. Higher size can be now only trick.

Koopalings NSMBW

 * Subject: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Koopaling design.
 * Nominated By:

Support

 * 1) - 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) Per Bloops.
 * 3) Now this one is better than the low quality one with (shudder) Bowser Jr. in it.
 * 4) It is actually not bad. Dimenshi Knight can really see it on the main page...He definitely agrees with this!!!
 * 5) Yoshi! Those who moan about a white back, the Pocket Chomp had one and that got featured. I personally love this image.
 * 6) Per YellowYoshi127.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per Al.
 * 10) I can't wait for this game to come out, I want some picture from the game to be featured.
 * 11) Yes, I'm supporting. The reason is because...well, I put it this way, who wasn't exited when they saw this pic!
 * 12) Each time I look at this picture, I like it more and more so I wouldn't mind this becoming a FI :)
 * 13) unlike LeftyGreenMario, i like how they changed iggy's hair. i dont know why but it looks better.

Oppose

 * 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.
 * 1) I'm tired of all the Kooplings Featured Images.
 * 2) The background says it all.
 * 3) I hate it. Lu-igi board 15:12, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * 4) Per Time Q ('cept for the white background sucks part).
 * 5) - Like I've said before, wait until the game comes out.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) This picture is very boring to look at and if it's single artwork placed together, of course it would have good quality!
 * 8) Boring picture. I don't like it how they (Nintendo) changed Iggy's hairstyle; it now looks like an unripened banana! Why does Lemmy have a ponytail? Why is Nintendo so twisted when changing the Koopalings? And don't compare this image to the Pocket Chomp one. The Pocket Chomp has action, but this image is just a bunch of Koopalings standing there.

I think that we should get rid of the other one on this page, so that they don't interfere with the nomiations...
 * It will be removed tomorrow anyway, since there are way more opposers than supporters.
 * 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?!?
 * 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 :(
 * I re-added the vote.

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.

The image is now high resolution. FD09

B.M.B., I think u should put this image on agien once the game comes out. Or find a 3-D Koopalings picture with a backround.

I am Zero! I don't get it, why do a lot of people support this one but a lot of people opposed the NSMBW one with the white background? Like Zafum said, it's just an artwork randomly pated on a white background. Zero signing out.

 * 1) The sunset in the background looks amazing and this picture is so big and detailed!
 * 2) Per Fawfulfury65.
 * 3) The sunset background is EPIC WIN!
 * 4) I am Zero! Is this the old one or the new one, because if it's the old one then this has incredibly good detail, take a look at the oil splat and the boosters on the kart. Zero signing out.
 * 5) I remember playing this game. Per Zero777 and Fawfulfury65, the picture is really detailed.
 * 6) - This images really exemplifies the game Diddy Kong Racing well.
 * 7) - I like this image! It's rare, nice to look at, and it has one of my favorite characters in Diddy Kong Racing (Tiptup). It has really cool details too, just what Zero said.
 * 8)  Beautiful Pic.
 * 9)  I decided. The picture is so great that even the logo goes along great with the picture! Definitely needs to go on the main page!

Oppose

 * 1) Good, but not good enough to be featured.
 * 2) Lame.
 * 3) got boring quickly.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) I've decided too, but against it because the logo is too much 'present' in my opinion.

I wish Rare was still with Nintendo.... Lu-igi board 12:37, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

Same here. Rare is the best game making studio in the world.
 * I know! I loved rare! Now all their games are on Xbox 360, which I don't have! Although, I think Alphadream is better at making games since I am a RPG fan. Anyway, HOW is this a lame picture?

^ This is why I dislike Microsoft. -

Eh, I like the picture, but the logo on the upper left is kind of.....not right. I'm abstaining for now. -
 * Per BabyLuigiOnFire. But cool reflection on the oil! Update: I've decided too.

 * 1) Rainbow Mario artwork got featured, so, why not? This picture is WAY awesome than Rainbow Mario's.
 * 2) Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!
 * 3) Ooh! Pretty!
 * 4) woah! look at all the colours.....
 * 5) - This is alot better and more fit for a FI than some other mario pictures (ex - Ice Mario) that was a FI. This has great details and great style!
 * 6) - I like this
 * 7) This is awesome!
 * 8) awesome picture. why are ppl complaining its not better than rainbow mario? it looks almosy exactly the same!
 * 9) Very nice. Cool pic.

Oppose

 * 1) You can't compare this picture to the Rainbow Mario Galaxy artwork because Rainbow Mario Galaxy had way more color than this picture and I think this picture isn't as good as the Galaxy one.
 * 2) The Rainbow Mario Artwork was colorful and beautiful,but this image is pale.
 * 3) I am Zero! What the bloody hell, it looks like Mario is on drugs. Zero signing out.
 * 4) Per Zero777. Plus, very boring to look at.
 * 5) Holy ****. This is just a powered-down version of the rainbow Mario one!
 * 6) In my honest opinion, both Rainbow Mario pictures are boring, but this is the inferior of the two.
 * 7) - The white background looks bad and the invincibility is just paling the picture.
 * 8) - As much as I like this pic, it's not as good as Rainbow Mario.
 * Ok, like Lefty said, it's just a weaker verion of the SMG Rainbow Mario. Since that was already featured, what reason do we have to put in another one?

maybe Mario is on drugs. after all he does love his mushrooms.... Lu-igi board 12:25, 2 November 2009 (EST)
 * The stars look a little fake like stickers.

The other Rainbow Mario at least had a black background to contrast with the other colors...
