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.

A gallery of all Featured Images can be found here.

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) You can see the snow. Snow is white. So it is a white background. (They are on a mountain, and mountains have snow.) and Per all.
 * 9) 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

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.

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.

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.
 * 5) Save it for New Years day.

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.

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.

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.

Beach Party

 * Subject: The Mario Party cast on Yoshi's Tropical Island in Mario Party
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) -- Good quality, brilliant colors, lots of action going on.
 * 2) - Per GM
 * 3) When LGM nominated it, it got put down by like, 10 users. Anyway, this is my favorite Mario Party picture. :) It's the best, I tell you! Poor Luigi...Plus, I don't give a tangerine about if they look weird or not; they looked like that back then.
 * 4) Per BabyLuigiOnFire, who summed up almost everything I was gonna say.
 * 5) I am Zero! I was one of them to put it down because of the weird look on DK's lip, but it's nice, clear, and big. Zero signing out.
 * 6) it is nice. the image is clear, the colors are bright, and the picture is quite lively. My only problem is the demented issue, why are most Mario Party pics demented?
 * 7) There is no reason to oppose an image I nominated before :P
 * 8) What I said with all the other MP1 ones. Now we can have the MP1 picture family FI's!!!!
 * 9) Per A to the L to the... other L.
 * 10) Per Garlic Man, good quality and it makes me longing for the summer :)
 * 11) - Probably one of the only good (IMO) MP images on the wiki. It doesn't make the characters look horrible and it shows an action scene too!
 * 12) Is the best MP picture here :/...
 * 13) This is a nice summer image, good quality, and good coloration. And look at Yoshi! Isn't that the cutest thing?
 * 14) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) Mario Party images are WAY too overused on the main page. Plus, Peach is wierd and DK's lip makes himlook like a bozo.
 * 2) Lu-igi board boring. incredibly boring.

Comments
I made this my desktop wallpaper. :D

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.

Coral Capers

 * Subject: Donkey and Diddy Kong in Coral Capers
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) - As I was searching for DKC3 images, I found this absolutely fantastic picture, and knew I had to upload and nominate it ASAP! It shows a truly peaceful scene, with the Kongs both swimming through the dangerous waters of Coral Capers, and is amazingly detailed! And the best part: THE CHARACTERS DON'T LOOK DEMENTED!!! Yippee!!! I consider this picture to be one of the best on the wiki!
 * 2) While it's a little on the small side, but the description doesn't say it has to be big! This is good! Very good! Extraordinarily good! And the best part in my opinion: not somniferous! Or even boring!
 * 3) I am Zero! We had good DK images in the past that had the Rare logo on it. Zero signing out.
 * 4) Lu-igi board epic
 * 5) Raphaelraven497 FF65, the first DK image i like! The shark is gonna bite his butt!!fail0_0
 * 6) nice!!! Im just glad it is not an MP pic!!(:

Oppose

 * 1) -- There's a Rareware logo on the image. Also, not great quality.
 * Per Garlic Man. Logo and really low resolution.
 * 1) Per above. If I had to choose, I would prefer the other Donkey Kong-image that's been nominated at the moment (from Donkey Kong Country 2).
 * 2) The logo ruins it. Per all.
 * 3) - There's a logo on the page. Per all.
 * 4) Some people here don't know the difference between quality and size. Anyway, this picture is small. The logo sucks. It wouldn't look nice on the main page.
 * 5) Bad Quality, has a Logo, per all.
 * 6) While part of me agrees that this is an amazing image, the other part thinks this is kind of bland.

Comments
It's, uh, quite small actually and there's that Rare logo, but I don't want to put this down either, it's cool too, so I'll just wait and decide.

@Zero: There has never been a featured image with a visible logo on the image. --


 * He was probably thinking about that Diddy Kong Racing picture that got put down.

If I get someone to remove the logo, will you guys support? I'm not really sure what's wrong with it anyway, I think it looks nice in the corner. And the pic is at lease at a reasonable size, right?


 * Don't remove the logo, it's part of the picture. Sure, it gets in the way, but you want it the way it is when you uploaded. Well, unless there's another image without the logo.


 * I would not support it even if it had no logo, since it's really too small.

Paper Mario Group Picture

 * Subject: Group picture in Paper Mario
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) This image is large, has some action in it, and simply not artwork pasted on the picture. Plus, it's the best Paper Mario picture I could find, and I think seeing a Paper Mario image on the main page would be nice, and I think this image is fit for featuring. Plus, the background isn't completely white; there's a castle, bushes, and clouds.
 * 2) I love this picture!!!!!!!!!!BLOF i was gonna nominate it but so what?????????Big pic, lots of detail!!!!!!!!Perfect FI!!!!!!
 * 3) Per BabyLuigi, nice pic! I like the style, the blurriness that LeftyGreenMario mentioned, contributes in my opinion to the 'paper-like look' that I like so much.
 * 4) I am Zero! Though the image is a little blah, it's not a bad image to put on the main page, you got my support. Zero signing out.
 * 5) i personally like it, and seriously about the "blurry" stuff? it's from a 64 game, of course it's blurry, but does that really mean it can't be featured?
 * 6) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) Bleh. It's blurry, which means low quality. The picture is not really colorful  enough. In my opinion, this one is not fit to be featured, mainly because of the "bleh" quality.
 * Yeah. Blurry and boring.
 * 1) Lu-igi board blury, boring, terrible, need I carry on?
 * 2) Yeah, it does look a little blurry... and I just don't like it.
 * 3) - It's blurry, the original proposer agrees with me that the background is partially blank and honestly, it's way too crowded IMO (not enough detail on one character)
 * 4) Background? Good Quality? Colorful?
 * 5) Boring and blurry... not the best traits. (Tileoid reference!)
 * 6) per Time Q

Comments
@Pixlfreak: Yes, it does mean it can't be featured. FIs can't be blurry, even if they are from awesome N64 games.
 * Is that Goomba down there supposed to be a generic Goomba or Goombario?

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.

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.

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.

Seaside Town

 * Subject: A picture depicting the center of Seaside Town in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
 * Nominated By: Raphaelraven497

Support

 * 1) Raphaelraven497 Okay, I know this has no characters but its a bright, colorful, good quality pic thats NOT from Mario Party or Donkey Kong!!!!

Oppose

 * 1) Bright, good quality, but nothing going on. The houses look strange on the single-color grass. Sorry, but I think this image is really boring and bleh.
 * 2) Um... yeah, boring.
 * Boring.
 * 1) - Isn't this just a screenshot with the sprite layer turned off? Not a particularly interesting or aesthetically beautiful one either. The fact it's not from Mario Party or Donkey Kong is hardly a reason to feature it.
 * 2) Per all.
 * 3) - Yeah, at least MP has quality, good action, and pretty much not this picture.
 * 4) Low resolution and a monotonous drab bland dull platitudinous image.
 * 5) -- I can't find a single virtue in this image. It's just houses.
 * 6) Lu-igi board I quite litraly didn't notice this picture while skimming the page. it is not at all eye-catching, interesting or even good.....
 * 7) *snore* Boooring.
 * 8) ...It's a house of SMRPG, Is interesting? No, Is High Quality? No, Is a single screenshot with nonithing interesting? Yes.
 * 9) ...Need I say anything else. Per all.
 * 10) okay... i looked at this and thought it was farm town (some game on facebook)
 * 11) Yeah.. if nobody told me this was a Mario game, never in a million years would I guess this was from a Mario game!!!!
 * 12) Boring and I don't like the colors.

Comments
Raphaelraven: Try not to nominate things based on the game/show that they are from. Because people support/oppose a lot of images from one place doesn't mean that it's because of the game that that place is under. It could be that all the nominated images are just horrible (as is the case here).

Microgame

 * Subject: Empress Bulblax in a WarioWare: Smooth Moves microgame.
 * Nominated By: Lu-igi board

Support

 * 1) Lu-igi board I like this

Oppose

 * 1) Boring and has an ugly logo in the corner.
 * 2) What? This is just a plain screenshot that has nothing special to it.
 * 3) Low quality, pretty lame, don't even know what the heck is going on, ugly logo, and not very appealing to the eye.
 * 4) Very bad quality, too bland and a lot creepy.
 * 5) Pikmin is cool, but the logo kills it and the pic is too blurry.
 * 6) It's low quality, ugly, has a Gamekult logo and boring.
 * 7) umm... i dont even know what the heck is going on
 * 8) *sigh* doesn't anyone read the first paragraph of the page!! it clearly states "Featured Images are those quality, intriguing, witty, provocative, rare, important, and otherwise simply interesting images that can be found throughout the site's articles." this pic is just plain old ugly!!
 * 9) Wow. Who would nominate a stupis pic like THIS. It would make the wiki look horiblle. LOL ROLF
 * 10) Per LeftyGreenmario.

LeftyGreenMan: It's the microgame where that worm thing smashes the Pikmin using the Wii mote, just to let you know.

Distant Planet

 * Subject: Empress Bulblax in Super smash bros. Brawl
 * Nominated By: Lu-igi board

Support

 * 1) Lu-igi board this image is great!
 * 2) I like it. It's good quality and is very colorful.

Oppose

 * 1) Resolution is quite low for a screenshot.
 * 2) Per BLOF and it's a lot creepy to be featured.
 * 3) Bad resolution, bad lighting.
 * 4) - Doesn't seem to be anything plus it is not light enough for my taste, I can't see the figures colors clearly.
 * 5) Just isn't that appealing...
 * 6) mehhh... it's not...appealing. Per Lemmy Koopa Fan.

Comments
Lu-igi Board: Your subject is wrong, you know.
 * Ya, hate to burst your bubble but King Dedede isn't in Warioware...

Can't decide: I think the quality of the background and Empress Bulblax is alright, but the characters from SSBB are too small and vague (king dedede) in my opinion.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Group

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

 * 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.

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!!!

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.

Axem Rangers

 * 1) Its a great, colorful, high quality, action filled picture. It might look a tiny bit blurry but thats because its old!!!!! You cant expect a pic from 1997 to look new! Plus, its a great scene. Axem Rangers pwn!!!!0_0

Oppose

 * 1) Actually, SMRPG is from 1996 (sorry I just had to notify that for some reason), and FIs can't be blurry, whether the game is old or not. It's by far way too small, and is a very boring scene. Also, the speech thingy at the top of the pic looks stupid.
 * 2) Per Fawfulfury65.
 * 3) It's good quality, but the resolution of the image is EXTREMELY low. Plus, it's a screenshot. A below-mediocre one.
 * 4) Pretty boring...per all.
 * 5) Per BabyLuigi and Gamefreak.

Well Fawfulfury, one problem, its NOT blurry
 * Um... you yourself even called it a tiny bit blurry. And even if it weren't blurry, it can still not be a FI, because it's WAY too small.

eh... you have a point

Mario, Yoshi, and Luma

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

 * 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.

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.

Snack Basket

 * Subject: Luigi and Mario executing Snack Basket.

 * 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.

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.
