This piece of promotional artwork is fun, high-quality, and big! The multiple Mario Brothers make this image really fascinating. =) --
 * Indeed it is. x3 Tis a good thing I covered that image, by uploading a larger version. XD -

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

May 21, 2009: Size Chart

 * Subject: Well, it's used in the article "Koopa"...
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) wow I've always wanted to see something like that! Lu-igi board
 * 2) - Fully awesome!
 * 3) - I never seen anything like this@
 * 4) - A very interesting image, I can bear the tag.

 * 2) - Pretty cool. Looks like it's very useful.
 * 3) - Per ForeverDaisy09. Very useful.

Oppose

 * 1) - 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) - 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.

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.

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

Would [[Media:20060196_size_chart.jpg|this]]  be preferable? I don't see what's wrong with the tag, anyway. It's a caption, not a logo.

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

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. 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.
 * 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. -

hold up, have I gone mad, or has someone changed the picture to a slightly different one? Lu-igi board 11:32, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Ill revert it
 * It is the same artwork, the difference is that it is higher resolution, it hasn't the background from the Japanese website and the flames are not cut. For the some reason, the colors of the smaller version are much paler than on the website.

June 18, 2009: Fire Mario

 * Subject: Fire Mario

 * 2) - It looks very cool, but I see it alot and there is just one thing in the picture.
 * 3) - My opinion matches both Waluigimaster's and Zafum. Single isn't interesting. Extra fact, it's kinda boring. No offense.

Comments

 * Subject: Mega Mario rampaging through a random level.
 * Nominated by:

 * 10) i luv it
 * 11) Such a fun scene!
 * 12) Now that I look at it, it is better quality than what I originally saw in it. Also, per Paper Yoshi.
 * 1) Now that I look at it, it is better quality than what I originally saw in it. Also, per Paper Yoshi.

Oppose

 * 1) - It just has too much of a linear look to it.
 * 2) Am I the only one that thinks this pic has a bad quality? Too fuzzy, and this pic has to be really big to look good.
 * 3) I am Zero! Poor quality, long-look to it, and too small, besides that I may reconsider. Zero signing out.

Comments
I am Platitudinous, the awesomest word in the worldiverse! It's actually the pic you see at the end of the game. However, if you collect all 120 Shine Sprites, it shows... I'm not gonna tell. Ciao!

This would also be good for a postcard.

FYI Platitudinous, the longest word on earth is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, look it up, anyhow, it is way too crowded for my liking, everybody is in one spot and I can only make out Mario.

Yoshi! Erm... no he didn't Marioguy1, he commented like you, if you want to oppose then sign in the oppose box.

Although it is good, Marioguy1 is right, its pretty crowded.

Yellowyoshi, I didn't want to vote because I can't decide, I will eventually...

- Platitudinous, that's not fair, my word beat yours, you can't just change it :(

I made a mistake, okay? I like the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis anyway. Did you notice Peach's hair is like this in MKDS?

- I'm sorry, I didn't know I was making you angry :( And I did not notice that, good find!

I wasn't mad.

Hey Super Mario Bros., I was tempted to nominate that Baby Waluigi pic.

 * 14) Yoshi! Great and enjoyabale.

Comments
I am Zero! Well, if you can get a clearer image, then I'll support it. Zero signing out.

August 6, 2009: Strikers Charged Scene

 * Subject: A scene from Mario Strikers Charged
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) - VERY epic scene!
 * Looks great and has fantastic quality.
 * 1) THIS IS THE BEST IMAGE IN THE HISTORY OF MARIO!!!
 * 2) I am Zero! Yes, very great, but this is a box-art in the european version, but this should still be allowed. Zero signing out.
 * 3) Platitudinous, I don't think awesome can sum it up. I don't think any word can. It shows the epic battle in that match, showing the tension on the characters. It's Absolutely Amazing!!!
 * 4) - Now this is super mario strikers! I'm fighting with myself to change my vote in the other one now that I've seen what SMS can really be...
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Nice!!
 * 7) Epic win.
 * 8) Awsome!
 * 9) Per all
 * 10) box-art! and yet great... :P
 * 11) Per all.
 * 12) Yoshi! I was going to upload this image but decided against it as I thought people wouldn't like it because its box-art. Glad to see they aren't as this picture is AMAZING!!!
 * 13) ...wow...
 * 14) D.R.02 It's so action-packed! Now I'm sad that isn't box art for the US game.
 * 15) Do I even have to say anything? P.S Pokemoneinstein if you like this image so much why are you stopping it from becoming a featured image?
 * 16) EPIC. JUST EPIC.

Oppose

 * No way. This picture is TOO good for the front page. Forget Featured, this deserves the title of "Godliest Mario Image, Ever, Ever."
 * 1) GARGLE HARGLE BARGLE! translation- It is just strikers artwork!

Comments
- Before you oppose, remember that this is not the official boxart for everyone.

I still don't know if should I support or oppose this picture. It's scary... (a bit)

Uhm, Pokémoneinstein, are you kidding? Your vote doesn't make sense at all.
 * pokemoneintein's vote should be deleted. it is clearly a joke. Lu-igi board 12:09, 23 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Is that allowed? You are not required to leave a comment in your vote, although this is a good candidate for deletion, we have allowed votes with terrible reasons in the past.
 * Yeah, right. We have no right to remove his vote. If he doesn't respond here, we can talk to him on his talk page, though.
 * As you can see, his vote won't make a bug difference anyways!
 * Marioguy1, thanks for the advice on my talk page, but I'm actually not joking at all. I really do think this picture deserves a better title than "Featured Image"
 * Pokémoneinstein, thanks for your comment above but your vote probably won't make much of a difference. I really think that Featured Image is the best title on the wiki!
 * Pokémoneinstein, come on, we simply don't have any "better" category than Featured Image. It's better to make it "only" a featured image than nothing, hm? (Actually, your vote does make a difference. Hadn't you opposed, the image would be featured this week.)

I guess I will make the amount of votes that it takes to remove a vote... Since it's not recognized in the rules right now, I will unofficially make it five votes. If nobody removes that section, then it will be five. 21:10, 23 July 2009 (EDT)
