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
 12-2 
 * 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.
 * 5) - Very good.
 * 6) Words cannot describe this.
 * 7) - i'm changing my mind for the third time. I really think that this would be a cool pic to have on the main page.
 * 8) - Pretty cool. Looks like it's very useful.

 * 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.
 * 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.

Oppose

 * 1) - Nice quality, but only a single Fire Mario is not very interesting.
 * 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.

 * 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.

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.

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!!!

 * 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)

 * 10) Although it is the MPDS boxart, I think it's a good picture. It's a bit busy though.
 * 11) Yoshi! Its a cool picture, but people dislike the crowdedness.
 * 12) I am Zero! Yes, I can really see this in the main page, with a comment saying "An artwork of Mario Party DS showing a few of the characters in the game", or something like that. Zero signing out.

 * 2) Koopa123 I love it, Yoshi looks funny!!

Oppose

 * 1) - It's far too crowded, and the wall in back looks stupid. By the way, saying you don't know why you dislike this picture is no different than saying "looks nice!".
 * 2) I agree!
 * 3) me too 13:33, 17 May 2009 (EDT)
 * me, uh...3?
 * 1) It's Mario Party DS's boxart without the title or DS info. 2nd of all, IN MY OPINION, it's kinda boring.
 * 2) Although the image appeals to me, I think we should not feature box art, at least do box art of a classic, or of an older game (perhaps in the future, when Mario Party DS is as old as, let's say, Super Mario 64}.
 * 3) Daisy is almost nonexistant in the image.
 * 4) I agree with Super Mario Bros.  It's a good picture, but it's box art.  Also, I didn't even notice Daisy until now.
 * 5) Per all, You're right. You'd hardly see her until you level-up the page.
 * 6) I own this game... it's awesome!! The picture is nice but... you hardly see Daisy and I hate pictures that make Luigi look like a coward!!!

Since i found this Scene so Music-themed i had to Nominate it, Hope you like it

I believe that if Zafum doesnt know why he dislikes the picture, his vote should be erased That's stupid
 * No, because you're not even forced to add a reason. You can just vote without putting any reason, and just as well you can say that you don't know why you dislike a picture.
 * Look, i'm not expecting that the images i nominate win, to be honest, i don't care, but seriously, i see just stupid things like "i dunno why i just don't like it", but whatever...
 * I think Tucayo's vote should be erased, because he doesn't know why he likes his picture, he just says looks nice. LOL, you don't need a reason to vote, you just need to know if you like the picture or not. Don't go blaming me just because I didn't have a reason this time.

Excuse Mr Oppose-it-all, but saying looks nice is way different than dont knowing why you dont like it. Looks nice means i LIKE the picture because its NICE. And how can you dislike a picture for reasons you dont even know
 * Both of you calm down please, okay? Nobody is forced to add any reason when voting to support or oppose an image. If you like a picture, feel free to support it; if you don't like it, feel free to oppose it. In neither case you have to give reasons for your vote. No need to get upset about this.
 * I think we should include a notice saying that you don't have to put a reason for the vote (or a good reason at that, anyway), to avoid confusion in the future.

Mario and Luigi are heading in the wrong direction. But who cares? It's still an awesome picture.
 * No they're not, but it looks like the babies are 'cos they're being fired out of the cannon.

Sorry. From the angle I was looking at it seemed like Mario and Luigi were going the wrong way.

Yoshi! Pie shroom; of course there's lots of blackness, it IS in space after all whichis Kinda black.

I am Zero! McQueenMario you know the original artwork is waaaaaaayyy bigger and clearer if you click on the image. Zero signing out.

Yoshi! I know not every image will win but I saw someone opposing because it was too small even though it goes up to 500 px when clicked on.

McQueenMario is right, this image is quite small. Just compare it to our previous FIs.

McQueenMario, what does "to a better quality" mean?

To a better quality means to make it bigger. BTW, YellowYoshi127, I got that message and the image is still to small.
 * Ya, what article is it in? The links section is empty.
 * That's right and I don't know why, 'cause it is used in this article.
 * You beat me, maybe it's because of some redirect or duplicate image...

Oppose

 * 1) I love the picture, but I've seen this just too much...
 * 2) There is a reason I won't vote for this. that's because Peach is close and Luigi is way over there. I hate that now Nintendo is pay more attention to "Mario and Peach" than "Mario and Luigi" Oh ,and this picture way over used.
 * 3) This picture is wierd. It has real looking clouds in the background, but 2-d in front.
 * 4) Yoshi! Not really cared for basketball or this artwork. Not a very good game either. Also Per DaisyRox02.

Comments
Whats that cat thing in the corner?!
 * That's Moogle.

Dry Bowser: Um, you love the picture, so, why are you opposing it?
 * He's seen it to much. Please read the whole comment.

Why do people care so much about Luigi? At least he's in the picture.
 * It's just like how Daisy is placed in the Mario Party DS picture, I guess.

Well, you shouldn't be paying attention to your fav character in the pic, you judge it overall. Even though I don't like this pic, it's not because my fav character (Daisy) isn't there.
 * Well, I just remember that someone opposed in the Mario Party DS picture and said, "Daisy is almost nonexistent."

For some reason, it seems to me as though Peach has no idea that she's holding a bomb.

I won't vote on this to avoid being unfair. I just want to point out that Wario looks very stupid on this picture. I have a feeling like he's gonna explode any second (don't know why). Ah yes, and Peach IS going to explode any second. I like the fact however, that Luigi is about to trounce Mario with that Koopa Shell. The green guy's definitely underrated. I'd like to see a Luigi-FI here some time in the future. That'd be nice. *personal rant ends here* -

 * 11) I'll support it because it's a rare picture
 * 12) Bowser looks weird but is a cool picture.
 * 13) I like classic pictures!
 * 14) - The roots of a series should never be neglected, and it would add an interesting contrast, if this would be featured. Therefore I give my full support to this picture, even if I have to admit that Bowser looks strange with black eyebrows (but who cares, if he's wearing an awesome cape?).
 * 15) - This picture is great. Bowser might look a bit strange, but who wouldn't want to see him on an evil-looking purple cape (with that neck collar with an eyeball on it???)?

I am Zero! Well Zafum, it's a little blurry in the background, that's all, but if there is a clearer one, then I'll support. Zero signing out.

i dont get why you care about quality! the only pictures that have "good" quality are from the newer games, therefore all clasic games are out. and personally, I'm one for the classics.

its kinda crowded.

I like the Goomba's shoe. It kind of annoys me it was only in one level, but in the new Nintendo Power they mention an enemy in M&L3 that "Should remind Mario fans of a certain enemy from World 5-3 of SMB 3."

Were did you find dis pic? 'Cause maybe there's a Super Mario World cast picture I can upload here.
 * At Gamekult, the only site where I found it with this resolution (and even without a watermark).

Zero777, Shyster66, MechaWave: What do you mean by "blurriness"? To me, it doesn't look blurry at all. You do know that the image above is just a preview and you can enlargen it by clicking on it, right?
 * Ipsc00I, how can it be boring and have too much going on in it at the same time?

I'm not taking sides here, but whats up with the beaver outfit?! I just don't get it!
 * What beaver suit? I think you're thinking of the Tanooki Suit.


 * Nah, it's the Raccoon Suit. The Tanooki suit is something slightly different.

 * 12) YES I was thinking of nominating this one anyway! EPIC FURY!!!
 * 13) This is colorful outstanding peice of art. I can't beleive people would want to oppose this. This has many main characters and is as I said before colorful with every detail. Coming from an artist.

Oppose

 * 5) I've decided box art shouldn't realy be featured.
 * 6) Like Lu-igi board said, box art shouldn't be featured.
 * 7) Per Lu-igi Board.
 * 8) Using logic, I don't think anyone except the umpire and the catcher are allowed behind the batter. It makes the picture seem a little crowded behind Bowser.
 * 9) All you can really see is Mario and no one else.
 * 10) Per Zafum... I've seen this WAY too many times before...
 * 11) I like Super Mario Sluggers but I don't think this should be featured.

Comments
Images like this are the reason we have the 'featured image' page!

I think we have enough boxart covers in this list.

I like how green and colourful the image is, but it centers too much around Mario and neglects the other charas in the background (And Bowser looks like he seriously needs a potty break *pats Bowser*). -

why wont this picture just die!!?? Lu-igi board 07:29, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

Quite obviously because there's 11 more support than oppose votes. (I don't know if you really wanted an answer but here ya go!)

Um... Come visit my page! And by the way I like it but it stinks in a way too... :-)

 * 1) I am Zero! If you look at this one at it's full size it has quite the opposite of the Wario's battle canyon one, this one has more of a heavenly look or feeling to it. Zero signing out.
 * 2) Poor Wario. He looks like he's about to die.
 * 3) - Very clear
 * 4) HAHA! Wario! Per Zero.
 * 5) I'll accept.
 * 6) I like the picture. It's funny because Luigi is grabbing Wario by the leg, and you see Wario dangling off over there. The characters even look like they are struggling to hold on to Mario. This is a great picture.
 * 7) WOAH?! I didn't know Luigi was that strong. Fully support.
 * 8) You got to be kidding me! I can't believe we all haven't nominated this before! We have it as the FA sign background. This image is amazing! Such artwork deserves this! P.S. If you are opposing because you are tired of MP pictures, then don't vote!
 * 9) Per Gamefreak. I twould have totally dropped him if I was holding on to him.. Not because I 'm weak like luigi, I think he is SANTA CLAUS DEVIL!

 * 14) The Rainbow Castle looks so awsome in the clouds!!! also it's the artwork of a classic game!

 * 16) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) I would support, but I've seen this on the FAs pages lots of times. So no.
 * 2) Though the quality is high, this picture is very boring to look at.
 * 3) - From a graphicer's point of view I'd say this picture lacks too much contrast to have an impressive effect. Yoshi's body can barely be distinguished from the background, Luigi's face is shown from an disadvantegeous perspective, the light reflections in Mario's eyes look misplaced, etc. etc. The other MP picture does this way better. Old man talks way too much, so to shorten his rant: Nah!
 * 4) Per 'the old man'. I'm also sick of MP images and they're making this place unoriginal, can someone please find an image not from MP that's good quality?
 * 5) I've seen this image way too much. It's not great.

 * 4) Just awsome
 * 5) It's so colorful and big!
 * 6) Much better that other white background one. Plus updated pictures!
 * 7) This......this is perfection.

 * 14) This is definetly ehat I was thinking about! I Love it!!!!
 * 15) - This is that turned down image with a background!
 * 16) I say: YESH!!

Oppose

 * 1) Just don't like this picture. There is plenty of empty ground at the bottom that could have been filled if the artist so desired, so in other words; No.
 * 2) The image is too small plus like Lemmy said, there's too much underground on the bottom. Plus, some artwork is recycled (including the Goomba, because only its eyes changed).
 * 3) Colorful and all, but this picture is low quality. There are recycled art too (can't tolerate that) and Nintendo put so much emphasis on the GROUND.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Hmm, don't really like it, can't exactly say why but I agree with the ground-argument as noted above.

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)

 * 1) I think this is a fantastic picture, and it really deserves to be on the Main Page.

 * 20) the perfect picture for the perfect time! Super Mario Bros. Wii is nearly out. the oldest and newest of the series.
 * 21) A great picture,a classic and it remenbers me good times ^^
 * 22) I could look at it all day.

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...
 * 10) This is by far the stupidest nomination I've seen yet. I feel like cussing at it.

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.

 * 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.
 * 23) Fly Luigi, fly! This pic is great!
 * 24) Mr. Game & Watch = SUPPORTED!
 * 25) This is an awesome image from an awesome game.
 * 26)  Really awesome Melee pic.
 * 27) Hi I'm new at this but I'm a HUGE mario fan and i think this pic is amazing and hilarious

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.
 * 14) WTF?! WHAT TYPE OF YOSHI IS THAT?!
 * 15) Way too overused, I'm sick  of seeing it.

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

 * 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.

 * 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!

 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Though I like Mario Party pictures, I wouldn't want to see this on the main page.

 * 9) Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
 * 10) Altough I liked Mario Party, per all.
 * 11) Yoshi! I dont think textured mountains work very well... sorry :(

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). -

 * 1) - I really like how this looks, its not small, it has good quality, etc
 * 2) Cool, very detailed.
 * 3) I like those reflections. They make it look like the artist spent HOURS doing this.
 * 4) It looks excellent. Complete with a background and those shiny reflections, it looks WAAAY better instead of those pieces of white toilet paper getting nominated right now.
 * 5) I love this picture. The reflection effects are cool and detailed. Only if the picture was larger...
 * 6) TA DA DA DÃN! Metal Mario is the coolest power-up ever! I have a blooper series named Super Metal Mario, but its on portuguese from Brazil language.
 * 7) Lu-igi board completely and impossibly epic.
 * 8) You have to wonder how Mario feels when he's metalized.
 * 9) I am Zero! Not a bad image, very detailed. Even though this image is from SM64, but where is Metal Mario at? Zero signing out.
 * 10) Very detailed image. Also per LKF.
 * 11) Per above.

 * I don't really like it either. Strange coloring.
 * 1) - Yeah, I dunno about this one. It just seems too drab and dark. Metal Mario is really lacking in official art, but that doesn't mean we should leap onto what little we have.
 * 2) Per all.

Which level is Mario in?
 * Great question. I think it's not Hazy Maze Cave.
 * Since Mario isn't blocky, I don't think it's from the N64. Was there a metal power-up in Super Mario Galaxy?
 * It IS an artowrk from SUper Mario 64, looks like he is in the castle's basement or in Hazy Mazy Cave --
 * Whoops, I thought it was an in-game image.

Are we sure this is official art? Fanart can't be a featured image, and this doesn't look much like the official art for Super Mario 64.
 * Really? Many of the other FI noms could be fan-art :P
 * I think it's really an official artwork. It appears as the cover of the original soundtrack.
 * It's in the Super Mario 64 Guide thingy too.
 * Vini64: This? BabyLuigiOnFire: What page? I can't find it.
 * Not in the instruction booklet (I think that's what you mean). It's in the official guide thingy.
 * Twentytwofiftyseven: Nope, the European version.
 * Vini64: Dead link. BabyLuigiOnFire: No, I meant the guide. Which page is it on?
 * Twentytwofiftyseven: Try the Google Cache.
 * I do not know what page it is on, but I recall it's in the beginning of a chapter (lost the dang guide, though)

Just to clarify, I believe the pic is from Big Boo's Haunt.
 * Nah, it looks like the entrance to the level with the green switch in it in Hazy Maze Cave. Besides, you can't use the metal cap in Big Boo's Haunt without cheating I think.
