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 GMT), 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.

A gallery of all Featured Images can be found here.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.

Avalanche!

 * Subject: Avalanche! mini-game artwork from Mario Party 4.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) 4535 x 3000... That's probably the biggest image in the MarioWiki. Perfect quality and it's also a funny scene.
 * 2) I don't know why but I really like this picture. And it is big!
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) This is why we have featured images!
 * 5) Poor Luigi XD.
 * 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...).
 * 1) Great pic and pretty good graphics/quality. XD Luigi
 * 2) It's a nice pic. luigi XD
 * 3) - Nice image
 * 4) Cool pic! It looks like something out of Mario+Sonic at the winter olympics.
 * 5) Looks cool.
 * 6) Ha! it has a humorus plot to it. Poor Luigi takes the cuts and bruises while Mario escapes unharmed. Well Luigi is more clumsy....
 * 7) It's actually, in my opinion, a GREAT image.
 * 8) Background, Smchackground. The image itself has plenty enough going on to show.

Oppose

 * 1) A strange image from a strange game, plus someone needs to reupload it, it's too big.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) - No background, yuck :P
 * 4) The image at full size looks good but I don't think it should be featured.
 * 5) Per BabyLuigiOnFire and Marioguy1 also Yoshi doesn't appear at all and he's too far from the rest D=
 * 6) luigi+ball=epic fail
 * 7) Per BabyLuigiOnFire on the Luigi-thing. That snowball looks like a marble with a Luigi-picture on it :S
 * 8) DK looks possessed! Oh, and Mr. Green is a ball. But DK looks like he's possessed!
 * 9) Lu-igi board I'm bored of seeing this.
 * 10) Panchito - I don't like it.
 * 11) - The white background ruins it.
 * 12) Its perfect! Intill you see the background that is.
 * 13) No background.... and how long has this been here?
 * Let's finally get rid of it :P
 * 1) We should get rid of it. (and then put it up again and see what happens - a fresh new start)

Comments
I wonder why it is that everyone cares so much about Luigi. I mean, what's so good about him?


 * 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.

@KS3: Snow has a different texture than blank background, this is not snow.


 * I think Time Q's vote and KS3's vote should get removed...for specified reasons...
 * No need to give reasons when voting, so... nope.

NSMB New Year

 * Subject: New Year's Drawing of New Super Mario Bros Wii
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * Ok, so nominating this was NOT my idea (guy who nominated BiS inspired me) but this has some notable differences between BiS (other than the obvious ones, obviously). This is less faded, bigger, absence of ugly borders and has action in it. The only concerns is what the pasta happened to Yellow Toad and there's less characters. Otherwise, I nominated for the same reasons Baby Mario Bloops gave out; it's the actual, authentic drawing from the creator himself!!
 * 1) Cute, nice size, and made by the Mario Man himself!
 * 2) Nice Image made by Shigeru & Co. too!, PS: Why is Toad here and not Yellow Toad 0_0?
 * 3) I am Zero! Not a bad image, especially since it's a drawing. Zero signing out.
 * 4) This is a great, nice-size image.
 * 5) Much better than the Boswer's Inside Story one because this one is not so crowded and faded. I guess no one likes Yellow Toad... :(
 * 6) - I don't know how I inspired you, but I will leave that to you. Anyways, this is really good, with a few confused points (red toad, NSMW instead of NSMBW) but that doesn't matter much in this image. This is excellent, I can't believe that they can create such a outstanding piece of artwork (I wish I could draw like that).
 * 7) Nice drawing of a nice game.
 * 8) I agree with Fawfulfury65 and Zero777, this one is nice!
 * 9) You got to admit, this is pretty cute!
 * 10) An adorable drawing by Mario's creator.
 * 11) If the M&L PiT got featured, why not this???

Oppose

 * 1) Lu-igi board this is just ugly....
 * 2) I don't think it looks good.
 * 3) ummm... well. It's a nice picture but... it doesn't sum up celebration or Mario games. I don't see what people in bubbles have to do with new year or Mario. I feel it is not a pic for featured image.
 * 4) Panchito I don't care who this was done by, it's nothing special.

Comments
@Fawfulfury:So you support one New Year image but not the other?
 * @Reversinator:Er-this page follows the No-Signature Policy...
 * @Reversinator: There's nothing wrong with supporting one New Year image but not the other. --

I support it now.

lpsc00l: You don't know what the bubbles are? Then you clearly did not play New Super Mario Bros. Wii. That is what this image is about.

Krem Quay

 * Subject: Artwork of Krem Quay from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Awesome picture! Nice size, and a lot of detail. I LOVE this picture!
 * 2) I was wondering when a DK snapshot would appear! Lu-igi board
 * 3) Interesting, high quality, good colouring... need I say more?
 * 4) I am Zero! Not bad, it's a nice big image. Zero signing out.
 * 5) Per everyone. Dixie looks adorable btw. ;D
 * 6) Panchito It's good, despite the fact it's yet another DK image.
 * 7) Very excellent picture. Truly unique!
 * 8) DKC images are a rarity. This one's rather interesting.
 * 9) Looking at the image again, the picture doesn't look faded at all, and the characters don't look weird.

Oppose

 * 1) - I just don't like it.
 * 2) - Per McQueenMario...
 * 3) I agree with McQueenMario, The animations are just real bad. they both look like demented muppets!!
 * 4) Its brown. brown is poop. poop ugly.
 * 5) - Per LGM (in the support section). I don't realize why people support if they can see any problem with the image. These images are no different from FAs - they are to be the best on the wiki . If you can find a single problem with the image, oppose as it will not properly represent the wiki's quality and that will defeat the entire purpose of having an FI system in the first place. For example, in this image, the colors are faded and it basically represents no action! Why feature it? It has problems and does not properly represent the images of the wiki. There are many other votes like this strewn across the page (and the archives) that support just because a certain character is in it or because everyone else supports. That is not a good thing to do and I hope people stop doing it.
 * 6) After looking at the image again, I think the image is really faded. Unless someone reuploads a less faded picture, I don't think the image should get featured. (I'm not using this as a reason to oppose, but check out Diddy Kong's wrists. It looks like his hair around him is like a fur coat. :P)

Comments
I don't know what to say about this picture. It's good quality and a nice size, but it's faded and IMO looks boring. Plus, why are Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong always have the same expression, no matter what the situation?

@Raphealraven497 - Umm... It actually has many dark colors and shades of green to fit into the swampy theme. Brown isn't really the main color of this picture.

Hmm, can't decide. I don't like the color scheme, but the quality is good.

MG1: Woah, calm down. I think these people think that the flaws are too minor to be considered, and it still looks great on the main page. Maybe other people won't see it as faded. Maybe they will. But still, no one is forced to add a reason why they like it. I don't know why, but rules are rules.
 * Sorry, I just have seen so many votes where the reason gives a bad point and for some reason, people think that these are any different than FAs. FIs represent the best images, FAs represent the best articles. In the FAs, people won't let an article be featured because there is a tag on it, here they're letting something with a logo go by. In the FAs, people won't let an article with no images be featured, here they'll let an image with no background be featured. Those are both practically the same thing yet people think of it differently because of the rules. IMO, if they can't put a good reason - don't vote (like I did for the hand-drawn one)

I don't understand what's so bad in this image. It doesn't look faded at all to me either.
 * Go here and look for a slight mist all over the picture - that's not mist, it's fading.

Too bad Featured Images cannot be improved easily, unlike articles. One has to find a better picture and reupload that. Otherwise, no one can really improve an image.
 * The best thing to do here is just not nominate the imperfect image. I've seen several images with large problems that people have nominated anyways.

I still don't see where it fades. I don't know where else to get a better version or anything either.
 * I don't see any fading either. Only the ray Diddy is pointing at.

@MarioGuy1: There is no such thing as a "Perfect Image". People are allowed to nominate whatever they want.
 * First off, "Perfect Image" was theoretical - it wasn't meant to mean a perfect image. I meant it should be a very good image with almost no visible problems, good size, no logo, not blurry or misty, a nice background, lots of color and action, etc. And Secondly, I never said they weren't. I asked them to look at the images before they nominate them to make sure that they really think the pictures are as perfect as they can get them and not just do it because they like the image. I agree liking the image is a nice thing but chances are, if there's a problem but you like it, other users won't.

Bowser Striker

 * Subject: Bowser's artwork from Mario Strikers Charged Football.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) - Although this is character artwork, its big, high quality, and seems to have a lot of action in it! It's also extremely detailed and you can tell it was drawn by a pro artist!
 * 2) Lu-igi board lol at bowser! truly the coolest footballer the world has ever seen :P
 * 3) I don't know why, but Bowser looks mighty aerodynamic when he's like that.
 * I like it. Great quality.
 * 1) I am Zero! Ok, I guess I'll support it, it's a nice big image. Zero signing out.
 * 2) Sure it is a character artwork, but it is a character that stars in most, if not, all Mario games. And strikers artwork is nicely drawn and creative which fits the descriptions of "FEATURED IMAGE". Oh, Lemmy Koopa Fan, nice use of the word "aerodynamic"!
 * 3) High quality, in my opinion almost as good as the picture from this game that has been featured last year's august.
 * 4) this is just plain awesome looking
 * 5) Wow..... I support....
 * 6) Extremely detailed artwork.
 * 7) - The detail in this is nice and the action, epic!
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per Time Q in the comments section, now I see how nice it is :F.
 * 10) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) Though it is about everything Fawful said, it's still just single-character artwork.
 * 2) Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) Panchito Wow, you people would oppose any other single character artwork but when it's Bowser it's good?
 * 5) Ew. It's just single character artwork. Why was Luigi put down, but this one, a lot of people seem to support? Not a very interesting picture, IMO. Per all.
 * 6)  Despite being called "epic" and "detailed," there's nothing going on in the picture, and it's hardly unique since everyone other character shares the same artwork style.
 * 7) -- Great image

Comments
What's wrong with it being simple character artwork? It meets the requirements to be a FI, doesn't it?

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.

The ones in bold is in where the image you nominated doesn't really meet its requirements.

Well, it is simply interesting and intriguing to me. As for rare, its uncommon to see such a unique art style. I'm not sure if any of the FIs are much of witty, though.

Eh, we have different opinions, so it's ok :)

@Panchito: No. It's good because it's a great drawing style, it's extremely detailed, the glow of the football looks brilliant, there's not even just white background. It simply looks good.


 * Actually, there is a white background, but the tan coloring also makes up the background. Still, I think it would be perfect if there were more characters.

Garlic Man, your comment in the oppose section says "Great image".


 * This is the second time he made that mistake. Maybe it's not a mistake. Maybe he lives in Opposite Land!

Luigi's Engine Room

 * Subject: Luigi and friends in Mario Party.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) This image is incredibly huge, detailed, and interesting. I'm not sure why Mario would have the guts to save Wario there, but it's a pretty nice picture. Also, even if you're "sick of MP images", does it really matter? We're paying attention to the quality and creativity of the picture and all that, not what game it was from!
 * 2) - Per FF65 in the comments and the fact that the MP1 groups pictures are amazing!
 * 3) I don't care if it's ANOTHER Mario Party image; they're all good (except Wario's Battle Canyon and Mario's Girly Rainbow Castle)
 * 4) Per Fawfulfury65. I don't care what game it's from. As long as I like it!
 * 5) I am Zero! Well I wasn't sure to post this when I posted several MP1 images but this one is good. Zero signing out.
 * 6) - I would per someone but nobody so far has put up a reason. You people spoke about how you don't like it when people put up dumb reasons? Well so far there are no reasons save for "It's Good/Nice". I think the quality is surprisingly good for an MP image where most of them have DK with a deformed face and Peach's red+pink dress is less prominent in this one.
 * 7) Panchito: Mario Party 1 images are awesome. This picture has great quality. It's colorful, big, and nice to look at. If you hate Mario Party images so much, try finding a much more awesome picture in the wiki.
 * 8) What the- I could have sworn I put my vote under the support section. How'd it end up in oppose? Well, per all.
 * 9) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) Panchito Seriously? Quit suggesting Mario Party 1 images, we have featured numerous group images from this game already.
 * 2) Lu-igi board I'm afraid these mp pics are getting worse....
 * 3) Raphaelraven497 per Lu-igi Board
 * 4) Another MP Picture with werid characters faces...
 * 5) OMG!! what is with these bad MP pictures!!! This one has to be one of the most demented yet!!!

Comments
@Panchito: Did you even read my support? We don't feature images because of the game, we feature it because it's interesting, creative, high quality, anything, but not what game it's from. If this image were for a different game, would you still oppose?

The reason why we nominate to feature them is because they are all awesome to look at.

Panchito, your oppose is invalid. The source of the image, as long as it is official, has no criteria for becoming featured.


 * Actually, Panchito's vote is valid; no one is forced to give a reason. I, though, dislike it when people give out a stupid reason why they hate it.
 * That's stupid... his vote doesn't even say WHY he doesn't like it, just that he's sick of MP images. That's the worst possible reason you can give and it's really more of a fan vote. I think I should make a proposal on that, but I have a feeling it'll just be brought down for some random reason.
 * Yes, for example because no one should be forced to reason their opinion when it's really just subjective. There are no objective criteria for the quality of images, so no need to reason your opinion.

Guys, please stop opposing images just because they're Mario Party.

Mario vs. Bowser

 * Subject: Mario fighting Bowser and Mecha-Koopas in Super Mario World.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) -- Great quality and size, depicting a great moment in Mario's history.
 * 2) One of the best SMW pics, a great moment in the Mario series and it's a lot colorful.
 * 3) Good quality, interesting, epic... need I say more?
 * 4) Lu-igi board I can imagine it in motion
 * Yes, I'm biased when it comes to SMW pictures.
 * 1) Great moment of a great game.
 * 2) This was back when the artwork wasn't so noticable, and I like that.

Oppose

 * 1) Mario looks a little bit goofy and there really isn't that much color. Too plain for me.
 * 2) The shading is awful. I mean, the Koopa Clown Car is all shady and stuff, but Bowser isn't? I don't think it's colorful either. The majority of this picture is gray and beige, which are Toadworth's favorite colors (boring). I think it's also boring overall.
 * 3) - I'm afraid I must vote oppose. While the colors are nice I think they're a little too pale and honestly, I just don't like the weird animated Bowser and Mario...
 * 4) ehhhhhh.... It not my favorite.
 * 5) I am Zero! This was already nominated and turn down in the past. Zero signing out.
 * 6) Mario is too fat, The Mecha Koopas are too fishy, The Koopa Clown Car is too shady, The background is too gray, and Bowser is too Bowser.

Comments
Wasn't this put down one time?
 * Yes it was, though that doesn't mean it can't be featured some time later. Just look at the presumable next FI.

Nice quality, but the picture is slightly faded. There is also something about this picture I don't like, but I'm not going to oppose.

@MarioGuy1: It's a still image. They aren't animated ^^;; --
 * No, I mean that's how they look when they're animated. Mario's too fat and Bowser's just not evil enough.
 * I guess this is based on your imagination then.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Group

 * Subject: Some of SSBB's characters.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) -- Depicts the main characters of each franchise represented in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Cool-looking pic.
 * Hm, so it wasn't the resolution that was bothering me. Actually, it was the blurriness that bothered me. You got my vote.
 * 1) It's nice, big, high in quality, and... exciting!
 * 2) This is cool! Per LKF.
 * 3) This is a neat pic.
 * 4) Nice graphic style, perfect quality, colorful enough.
 * 5) I don't care if this is boxart or not... it just plain awesome!!
 * 6) Good quality, per above.
 * 7) I am Zero! I was going to say SSBB is over-used but it has been a long time since any SSB stuff have been used. Zero signing out.
 * 8) Good Pic = FI Status. Per all.
 * 9) This picture is great, even though I don't like Brawl too much. The resolution is great, the quality is OK, and the picture is filled up with color.

Oppose

 * 1) - Ordinarily I wouldn't oppose because of such a minor detail but this time it stands out in my mind, this is boxart.
 * 2) Panchito - Ugh- I've seen this image countless times.
 * 3) BOXART!!! if you want to nominate box art put up the picture of the box!!!
 * 4) - Per all, seriously SSBB Pics are getting overrated...

Comments
NOTE: I've uploaded a higher-quality pic since the old nomination, thus I've deleted the old nomination and started a new one. --

Seriously, about the boxart comments. It's way better than the boxart, because the title, rating, Wii thingies, and publishing company are absent in this picture. The DK image I nominated was boxart as well, yet no one opposed because it was boxart? They are both entire scenarios, without the stuff I mentioned, and I always thought it was worthy for featuring. I understand it being overused, but just saying it's boxart seems kinda...I don't know what to say.

I think I'm staying nuetral for this one Lu-igi board

Mario, Yoshi, and Luma

 * Subject: Mario, Yoshi, and a Luma in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
 * Nominated By:

Support

 * 1) This is a nice, big image that's good quality. I know there's a black background but it contrasts with the other colours and makes the image look even better!
 * 2) Per lemmy koopa fan, the colors contrast nice.
 * 3) How interesting!! I'm saying yes to this picture, and its better than the Ice or Fire Mario picture, even though it has a black background like they do.
 * 4) I love it, Yoshi and Mario with Luma!

Oppose

 * 1) The white outlines on the characters look dumb and the background is completely blank!!
 * 2) Not the best. I'd rather have a white background than a black one. :/ Per BLOF.
 * 3) I am Zero! White outline and a little plain. Zero signing out.
 * 4) White outline = Phail. Per all.
 * 5) I liked it at first, but then it got kinda boring.
 * 6) The background is black...boring!
 * 7) Lu-igi board per all
 * 8) - It's a little pale and faded...

Snack Basket

 * Subject: Luigi and Mario executing Snack Basket.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) -- Colorful, very high resolution, and fat Luigi.
 * 2) } A great picture depicting the wackiness that is Mario and Luigi.
 * 3) I like this one, per Papero on the craziness:) And I like this one more than the one Lui-gi board proposed last year (Bowser and his Goomba army, got featured), and that one was also alright.
 * 4) - Wow, he's almost as fat as Wario! Except 20 quadrillion pounds skinnier of course (no offense Wario fans!). I love this pic!
 * 5) Luigi getting more and more Fat :D, so colorful.
 * 6) Lu-igi board lolololololololololoolol!!!!!1!!!!

Oppose

 * 1) I'm sorry, but out of all the special moves, this is the worst image. It makes Luigi look all fat and horrible like the Americans (no offense, I'm an American too!) and I personally think it would not look good on the main page.
 * 2) Per BabyLuigiOnFire, except the fat Americans part, 'cause I don't want to be offensive.
 * 3) I am Zero! This image has been features already. Zero signing out.
 * 4) What's wrong with this picture??? Do you want to stop the obesity crisis?? Then Don't support this. In this picture Luigi weighs more than Wario in the Mario Series.
 * 5) Per all. The pic is not that appealing to me, and the Goombules look like the way I fry my eggs, sunny-side up. XD
 * 6) A fat man throwing an extremely obese fat man that weighs a lot, but 3,489,237,483 septillion times less than Wario? Wow. P.S. A lot of Americans are not fat. However, there are more obese Americans than overweight Americans. This images says keep up the good work!
 * 7) - Does the word "background" mean nothing?

Comments
@Zero777: Seriously, stop claiming that images have been featured already when in fact they haven't >.< All featured images are here.

I have to say the obesity crisis comment made me laugh, but BLOF, I suggest you to at least change your obviously stereotype-based comment before trouble arises about it. --
 * Eh, I'm an American as well, so the other people should realize that I'm making a stereotype about myself also.
 * That's not the point. It doesn't matter if you're American; it can still insult other Americans. --
 * Yeah, it can be offensive to some Americans, especially if they are fat Americans. Hey, though, sometimes it's fun to laugh at yourself (that doesn't mean I'm fat)!! ;) But you probably still should change your vote, BLOF.
 * The fact that it's about yourself doesn't make it any better; if a black person calls another black person the "N" word, chances are that they'll still find it offensive. I've removed the little section about Americans, assuming that you don't mind, BLOF. --
 * I don't mind. It's good you let me know.

Have you noticed that the only thing all the opposers did (except me) is say Luigi's too fat? (And per eachother).
 * I stated that they looked like sunny-side up eggs with feet...
 * Except me, and Gamefreak

Super Mario Galaxy 2 artwork

 * Subject: Artwork despiting Mario, Yoshi, a Luma, and many other stuffs.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) - I love this cheerful new image for SMG2, quality is big and is very brigthful. I bet this will be used for the boxart.
 * 2) This picture is awesome.
 * 3) If this is used for the boxart, I will be the happiest person on earth! I love it!
 * 4) This is great! Look at that fat purple Luma in the background! (Maybe a hungry Luma?)
 * 5) Yeah. Per all.
 * 6) I think it's an amazing image! It has many details and it's really an accurate pic! Plus I think it's better with the logo :P
 * 7) - Yes, very amazing!
 * 8) Now THAT'S an image. Bursting with character, it really makes me want to play the game. June 11th can't come soon enough.
 * 9) A great colorful image!I love it!
 * 10) I supported the other Pic, this one is the same but A LOT more colorful, Per FF65.
 * 11) Lu-igi board epic. just epic
 * 12) - Per my comment below.

Oppose

 * Per my and Baby Mario Bloops's comments below. We should wait for a non-logo version.
 * 1) Yeah, per everything in the comments about us two. Do you want a better picture to come and regret not putting that up instead of this? We would be saving that from happening...
 * 2) The logo and Cyan Yoshi (IMO) kills it. And for an image with the characters zoomed out like that, it would be even better with higher resolution.
 * 3) This would make splendid boxart (much better than Bowser's Inside Story's boxart). Though it's very colorful, a logo-less one would be even better. Patience is a virtue, so let's wait for some without the logo, like Super Mario Galaxy's.
 * 4) This picture is so "bleh" (although colorful) with the logo, resolution,and the obese Cyan Yoshi, and the fat luma, and Yoshi is ugly. What's with Nintendo and fat people (Snack Basket, Yoshi, ESPECIALLY Wario, Mario, lumas, Bowser) anyway?
 * 5) - This is just pure boxart

Comments
I'm not sure if I like the logo in the image. Perhaps we should wait for a version without the logo?
 * All of the other FI's didn't have the logo and it, and we don't want to find out that a better picture of this with no logo on it is left to be not featured because this one took it's spot. So can we please wait for a non-logo one comes?
 * I actually like the logo on the top. Without it, the top of the picture will look too plain.

Why is Daisy's hair sticking out of the UFO in the top left corner??? I never knew that Daisy is going to be in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
 * I don't see her hair anywhere.

BMB and TimeQ: People are then gonna start complaining how "overused" this image is and how you should put up the picture of the box (I'm pretty sure it's gonna be boxart).
 * BLOF: "Overused?" When did we ever state that? All I was saying is that I think it would be better without the logo on it, since we don't have any other FI with it and that there is still time for a better version to come out in the next few weeks or so...
 * I didn't say that you guys said will be "overused." When it gets released as boxart or something, other people will come in and say how "overused" and "boxarty" it is. I'm assuming, only, so don't take it too heavily.
 * LOL, yeah, probably.

You know, I'm getting pretty sick of everyone complaining about "this is boxart," or "the logo is bad," or anything else, but even when the image deserves to be nominated. Look at it. Perfect quality and resolution. In fact, I can still see the Luma Shop at this size. It's beautifully contrast with its elegant, cheerful, happy colors. Featured Images are supposed to be judged by their creativity, NOT by the additional blemishes that were added. I think this would look pretty weird without the logo there. Almost every single nomination in the oppose section has something that is in any other opposed nomination, and I'm tired of it. When the image is constantly being re-nominated, that means it has a chance. Also, the logo is probably there for the few millions of people who don't know what this game is identify what it is exactly.

I think we should just wait until a picture without the title comes long. And if people want to know what game that came from, I suggest that the nominator should mention it in the subject of the image. Wouldn't that be just sad once a better version comes out and this one is already featured?

Marioguy1: Pure boxart? I don't think so. If you think something will be boxart in an upcoming game, that's no reason to oppose.

 * 1) Extra big and detailed pic of the Kongs. I have it as my desktop wallpaper ;D
 * 2) Super detailed (look at the fur, you can see every little bit of it), plus awesome resolution. It also came from my favorite Donkey Kong game (it's the only one too, so it's my least favorite as well), Donkey Kong 64, which makes this picture more awesome.
 * 3) The DK pics are getting better. i like it.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Lu-igi board i like this alot
 * 6) Great resolution and detail. The picture is also filled up with color. I say this is FI worthy.
 * 7) - A non-blurry kongs image!

Oppose

 * 1) I just don't like the Kongs (not Diddy and Donkey) characters faces :/...
 * 2) They just look weird.
 * 3) -- I like this image. Nice and colorful.
 * 4) - Boring.

 * 3) White background... and I think Mario, not Luigi, looks weird in this.
 * 4) there should at least be scenery

*rolls eyes* About how many pictures nominated are there now that has Luigi getting beaten up, looking stupid, or the like? There's that avalanche one, Luigi's mansion, the Mario Party beach image, Sweet Basket, the Melee picture (IMO), and now this one. I think Nintendo maybe just likes seeing Luigi having all the bad luck.


 * What "Melee picture"? Also, the reason why Luigi is like that in all the pictures is because that's the sort of character Luigi is. Cowardly, weak, etc. Even in the Mario Kart Wii intro, he's seen getting hit by a blue shell right as he gains first place. He isn't what you would really call "Glorified".

I had wanted to nominate this picture, but I had a feeling it would be put down because of "a lack of background" and some variation of "luigi has bad luck." (And BiscuitLagoonOnFire, Luigi didn't look stupid in the Melee group art. He just looked like a wacko. But not stupid.)
 * ^That's just IMO, genius. GM: I don't think Luigi's that weak. Even if he was weak and cowardly, I really don't think he deserves it.
