MarioWiki:Featured images

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

At the Super Mario Wiki, Featured Images are those quality, intriguing, witty, provocative, rare, important, and otherwise simply interesting images that can be found throughout the site's articles. Users are encouraged to submit and vote on nominations for the Featured Image displayed on the Main Page. Every week (on Thursdays at 17:00 EST), a new image is selected to be featured. This is done by subtracting the number of oppose votes from the number of support votes in each nomination - the image with the most "points" at the end of the week will be featured. Any image with a negative amount of points at the end of a week (that is a nomination with a majority of opposes) is removed from the selection process. The only condition for nominated images is that they must be in an actual mainspace article on the wiki. No personal images or images from non-mainspace pages are allowed. New image nominations can be added to the Featured Image Nominations section below.

Archived nominations of images that were featured in the past are found here.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.

 * 8) Love this picture!!! You can't get enough of this. I more than agree it should be a featured Image.
 * 9) Great Quality
 * 10) Common or not, it's a great picture.
 * 11) Per all; this is one of my personal favorite group pictures for a Mario spinoff installment. Enough said.
 * 12) It's okay,and there's a boo in the benches.
 * 13) Yoshi Koshi Moshi Nice 'n colorful.
 * 14) Better than most other pictures we see.
 * 15) The quality is great,the picture isn't boring,even though almost every one seen this picture,it's great.
 * 16) This is a great pic and a fun game!
 * 17) I like this picture because A) It has great quality B) It shows a fair amount of characters and C) It's just a good picture! The ball is blurry and I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen.

Oppose

 * 1) - This is like the ssbb picture. It's just too common of a picture.
 * 2) Per my reasons for opposing the Mario Party DS box-art.
 * 3) I am Zero! This is the box art, seen too many times. Zero signing out.

 * 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.

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

I think we have enough boxart covers in this list.

Wing-Cap Mario Around the World

 * Subject: A picture of Mario flying around the world.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) I think it looks much better than my other FI nominations. The real image (not the thumbnail) is larger, but only has one resolution. Besides that, I think it looks nice. It is very colorful, and represents a good amount of SM64 worlds and levels.
 * 2) Yoshi! This actually  quite a good picture. Nice job. But maybe you could give it a better name?
 * 3) I am Zero! Alright I'll support, but make the image bigger, or find a better quality one. Zero signing out.
 * 4) I'll support it because it looks awesome, it's from one of my favourite games,and there's a Boo in the background.
 * 5) The image is covered with the perfect amount of Mario so that we can see him, and the planet.
 * 6) i like super mario 64.
 * 7) We all do. Nice pic!
 * 8) I've decided to support this image.  It has a nice cartoon-like look.  And besides, who doesn't like Super Mario 64?
 * 9) Yoshi Koshi Moshi Per Booman, Marioguy1 and Hrothgar.
 * 10) I love Super Mario 64 and this picture!

Oppose

 * 1) Nah, the quality's bordering on 'too small' and the background characters look a bit off.
 * 2) - It looks too simple, doesn't have the highest quality, and looks too simple (Note: I said simple twice on purpose).
 * 3) Not much to see in this picture.
 * I agree with all the opposers.
 * 1) It just really doesnt look that good to me.
 * 2) 4.75/10. It's OK, but not FI quality.
 * 3) Agree with above comment.
 * 4) What?! Mario looks orange! This picture dosen't deserve to be on the front page!! I mean seriously,the quality stinks!!
 * 5) It's been here so long I've seen enough of it.

Comments
I think this image looks better in its full resolution.
 * What's funny is that the image was uploaded a year ago to the day (30 June 2008)

if this image was remade today, it would look great, but at the minute it looks to simple.I won't support or oppose.

Well, might I point out that most older artworks of Mario games have this kind of simplicity and quality, per say. What makes up for its simplicity, however, is that it is colorful, it represents a unique and classic game. The game it represents, SM64, is revolutionary in the time it was released, and defined a new era of Mario games. Also, this artwork represents a video game that is over a decade old (if this image were selected as FI, this would be the first to represent an N64 game, and the second oldest FI in terms of what game it relates to). So you see, this image is decent enough and would represent a very important point of time in gaming itself.
 * Besides, our next F.A. to be displayed on the main page is SM64. Why don't we feature this image of SM64 along with it on the main page? That would be rather nice to have both of them related. This would be the first time a FI and a FA are featured on the main page at the same time and are related to the same game.

How do I make the image bigger?
 * On this page? You're not allowed to do that. The image is supposed to be only a thumbnail here.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Dry Luigi: The Super Mario 64 box-art is with the featured article on the main page.

This one is Meh-ish. Like I said as my reason for opposing, it's good, but not THAT good.

Cast of Super Mario Bros. 3
Subject: Scene depicting the main characters of Super Mario Bros. 3. Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) A true classic.
 * 2) I have a poster of this!
 * Cool image! Time to feature an old school Mario game.
 * I am Platitudinous, the awesomest word in the worldiverse! This is a great piece of art to go with a great game like SMB 3. Ciao!
 * 1) Looks good. Per all.
 * 2) per Time Q.
 * 3) Yoshi! Fantastic! And a classic too!
 * 4) I like this pic. Zero: Why do you think this is poor quality?
 * 5) great pic
 * 6) Great picture.  It brings back good memories.
 * 7) VERY NICE! I love the game too!
 * 8) - Nihaho needs moar koopalings! (I hope someone gets that joke)
 * 9) Per all. But Bowser looks different than what he does and Roy's shades look weird, but the great quality, scene, and it's overall appearence is good.

Oppose

 * 1) I am Zero! Yes this is a true classic, but, it is too blurry in the background. Zero signing out.
 * 2) Too crowded! Oh ya and plat... your word is smaller than mine (see the above section)
 * 3) Per MarioGuy1.
 * 4) What Zero777 said. Too blurry
 * 5) Per all. It's not so great.
 * 6) It's sort of odd isn't it?
 * 7) Eww! Its blurriness in the background and lack of entertainment makes it a little bland.
 * 8) I have 3 resons this shouldn't be featured, 1)There is too much going on, 2)It too blurry, and 3)it just boring!!

Comments
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?

Smash Bros Army

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

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! This is a great pic, great quality and Not Box-art!
 * 2) I am Zero! This is sort of like the SSBB image, but I'll support it, I want to see it one more time in the main page, just enlarge the image more. I can really see this with a comment like "The whole cast of Super Smash Bros. Melee, assembled in for a Melee". Zero signing out.
 * 3) per Zero, I only opposed the SSBB picture so it could be deleted as it was around for way too long.
 * 4) Very good! My favorite so far!
 * 5) I SEE ROY!!! (and young link with his milk) can't say no to this
 * 6) - I like this one.
 * 7) I remember how amazed I was when I first saw this picture.  It's great.
 * 8) It seems a bit repetitive to use the word "Melee" twice in the subject area, but the image is good.
 * 9) Yoshi Koshi Moshi I WANT THIS PICTURE FEATURED.
 * 10) Super Mario Bros. is right, and I think "battle" would be better. Looking at Luigi, though, it actually seems like what he'd do during an important pic like this.
 * 11) looks awesome
 * 12) - I actually like this picture.
 * 13) 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.
 * 14) This is actually pretty good.

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.....

Comments
Yoshi! Looks Even Better bigger...

if only roy and mewtwo were in brawl...

IS PICHU RIDING ON BOWSER!

I got my Brawler Card on my page.

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 am Zero! Talking about SSB, you know how a lot of users have there own SSB infobox, well I'm thinking to have a section on the 'Shroom probably called "Fake Brawl" where I make a battle between four users (alternate colors also), so basically I'm going to be those announcer guys talking very fast on those horse race derbies. It may be a little difficult but it may work. So what do you think? Zero signing out.

Luigi Strikers

 * Subject: Artwork of Luigi from Mario Strikers Charged
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) This image is neither promotional art nor boxart, so I though it'd be different.
 * 2) Yoshi! I agree, this is different but there are others maybe they'de be better?. (the kritter one's my favourite)
 * 3) I am Zero! Good, unique image that can be seen in the main page with a comment like, "Luigi charging up his kick to make the goal!". Zero signing out.
 * 4) Pretty good image with good quality, and p.s, you spelled charging and make wrong, Zero777.
 * 5) - I suppose the white background induces dramatic effect (whatever that means)
 * 6) I like the image and the style, it is different from most Mario artwork.
 * 7) Usually, I don't support characters drawings because their is nothing else to see. This, though, has something (I don't know what) that is making me support this Image.
 * 8) I wouldn't mind having this as a featured image. Plus, Luigi is one of my favorite character, so... like I said, I don't mind. It a nice picture!!!

Oppose

 * 1) I never really cared for the Mario Strikers art style.  It just doesn't seem very Mario-like.  This picture is no different.
 * 2) How about a picture ina game! This is a drawing!
 * 3) It's just a strikers artwork. The pic that I nominated is better.
 * 4) The image doesn't really have a background.
 * 5) Looks stupid.
 * 6) Oh please. Single character artwork is far too bland.
 * 7) In my opinion, we should only have featured images with scenes, or at least something going on. In this it's just Luigi kicking a ball in a blank background.
 * 8) Looks stupid? It IS stupid. this is a dumb picture considering its only Luigi! Who could be self-centered enough to make only a favorite character? IT'S HORRIBLE!!!!
 * 9) Single character artwork...
 * 10) It won't win now. might aswell go :(

Hey Mario freak, all of the previous FIs have been artwork, game pics don't look that good.

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

NSMBWii Character scene

 * Subject: The characters of NSMBWii together on a level.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! I like this one even if there is a white background as it is new and shows a peek at NSMBWii. fantastic quality.
 * 2) We NEED to put this on there. We NEED to spread the news.
 * 3) per all. I can't wait to play this game!
 * 4) I am Zero! Very unique, and since it's an upcoming game it should go on the main page, but if there is one with a background then I'll reconsider. Zero signing out.
 * 5) We've already had an image based on the original, but I like it anyway.
 * 6) just can't say no
 * 7) per all, and i cant wait either
 * 8) - I've decided that from now on my biggest concern in images will be the placement of characters and for this image, I rank it a Pass!
 * 9) - Can't wait and great artwork.
 * 10) Per all.
 * 11) - The first time I saw this, I almost fainted! I can't wait for NSMBWii!!!
 * 12) Like you all I can't wait for the release either and featuring this image will get people even more exciting. Gee, just check out the quality!
 * 13) Dispite the blank background this picture just looks so good it makes up for it.
 * 14) I can wait for this game to come out and the picture is really awesome even it has a white background.
 * 15) I love it! It looks so cool and so......... Mario!

Oppose

 * 1) - Even though it has an extremely high quality, It's lack of background and there being a very small amount of things to see in the picture makes me much more inclined to oppose.
 * 2) It looks like the artist just randomly placed stuff on a white piece of paper.
 * 3) Per Hrothgar.
 * 4) It looks very cloudy which means it has no background. And it looks they are all giants right on the horizon.
 * 5) no backround says all.
 * 6) This is just artwork composed together without a setting. Lame.
 * 7) I think it looks like someone got a bunch of single pictures, scrambled them together and forgot to put a setting. a.k.a, it looks like a 3 year old made it.
 * 8) I agree with ForeverDaisy09.
 * 9) It's like the Ice Mario pic. It needs a background to be featured! It's so boring!
 * 10) Well, I can do that in Paint...
 * 11) Per Lpsc001.
 * 12) The background is white. Talk about boring.

Shouldn't there be another character instead of two generic, nameless Toads?

who's to say they won't be named? 08:29, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

I have an idea so crazy it just might work. The third character is the Toad named Toad, but player 4 is... a Shy Guy! It sounds odd, but it may work. For example, when it gets a Propeller Suit, it becomes a Fly Guy! Genius, right?

my god that is genius! 11:53, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks. I came up with it while looking at the page for "Mario Power Tennis" when I saw the pics of Shy Guy and Fly Guy.

They should have Hammer Bros. in Galaxy 2.

it will be beter than the ds game

having no background makes the picture look better! Lu-igi board 06:17, 29 July 2009 (EDT) p.s I have a poster of this! woot!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dudes and dudettes, I have found the tentative release date for this game! It is November 2nd, 2009!

Who was it that thought, on the wired.com interview, that Miyamoto was serious about the cake thing? It was a joke!

Donkey Kong and Friends

 * Subject: Artwork for Donkey Kong 64.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Although it only has one resolution (which is bigger than the thumbnail), it looks very good, and it would be our first F.I. that represents the Donkey Kong series.
 * 2) - Actually, it would be the second one with DK as the main focus, the one with the illustration from MP1 focuses on DK. Anyways, I think there will be a lot of fan-votes here; Fans of the DK series would want one of its images featured.
 * 3) Nice.
 * 4) wow! I love it :P Lu-igi board 03:00, 24 July 2009 (EDT)
 * 5) Yoshi! I don't usually like kong photos or games but this is pretty good.
 * 6) It's Okay.
 * 7) To me, it represents a sense of unity and power.
 * 8) Always liked this image.
 * 9) A nice picture of the Kongs from DK 64.

Oppose

 * 1) - Quite boring.
 * 2) I am Zero! I can see how this can work on the main page but the color scheme is out-dated, and it's really boreing. Zero signing out.
 * 3) Boring
 * 4) Per all. VERY boring.
 * 5) I will not let this be featured!
 * 6) I'll support this when Porple changes the name of the wiki, From Mariowiki to DKWiki
 * 7) It looks old and boring. DK is the only one that looks normal! The other ones look demended!!
 * 8) It's good, but not good enough.

Comments
Castle Toad: We cover the DK series in its entirety, so there's no reason not to feature a DK image.

Barrel Blasting through the Jungle

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

Support

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

Oppose

 * 1) - There are only three characters and the background in blurry. Really boring!
 * 2) Yawn!!! It is SOOO boring. this should NEVER be featured!!!
 * 3) This is blah. :P

Battle of the Minis

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

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! I know its a screen shot an all but its just great with good lighting and fun to look at.
 * 2) Let's see how this turns out...
 * 3) This is a screenshot? It looks like artwork. And this picture is also very unique. i've never seen it before.
 * 4) Awww! I like it.It's cute. Plus I never saw it any where else!!!
 * 5) - Nice image, like the reality of it
 * 6) Per Lemmy.
 * 7) I am Zero! Great resolution and overall a great picture to be in the main page. Zero signing out.
 * 8) this image is full of power! Lu-igi board 04:30, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
 * 9) - There is no blank space or lack of characters...
 * 10) Though I agree with Time Q that it's a low quality picture (when enlarged), I really like it so I support this one :)
 * 11) it's one of those screenshots that you really want and can never find online!!! Like all the other good screenshots out there that Nintendo doesn't care about and we do
 * 12) I think it looks great! Why not? It looks better than some past featured images.

Oppose

 * Low quality. Even in its standard size, which is quite small, it's pixelated.
 * 1) Per Time Q.
 * 2) Just plain boring. This shouldn't be a FI! Also, per Time Q.

Comments
Time Q: For a screenshot, this actually has pretty good quality.
 * Click on it and you'll see it has very low resolution. We can't put that on the main page, since it needs to be enlarged.

Well,I admit it's kind of small. But I'm still not removing my vote.

Before you keep supporting this image, please click here. This is as big as the image can get, and even in this size it's pixelated and low-quality. We need images that can be enlarged further if we want to put them on the main page.

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

Yoshi! Time Q, main page resolution is lower than this one.
 * Yes, but visitors should be able to enlarge the image on the main page. When you hover over it, it even reads, "Click for a larger image." When users do that they'll see a pixelated image, which is bad.

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

Mario Beach Race

 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) It may not win but I just love this picture for reasons I don't quite understand

I never said I didn't think it would win. I said it may not win. Now I have high hopes for it.

I have worked out what I hate about this image! the karts are to plain and funny looking. Also I hate the idea of pacman having limbs. HE'S JUST NOT THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!! :( Lu-igi board 04:22, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

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.

SMW special world

 * Subject: Mario hit by a Bullet Bill in Super Mario World.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Funny image and SMW artwork seems popular at the minute so why not?
 * 2) - I just hope people dont start to abuse SMW popularity...
 * 3) I agree with Lu-igi board, it's funny.
 * 4) I love funny stuff!!!
 * 5) I am Zero! Funny, who cares if it's blurry, of course it's going to be blurry because it's an old snapshot. Zero signing out.
 * 6) Super Mario World :D!

Oppose

 * 1) Well, it's kinda fuzzy...
 * 2) - We've had way too much SMW recently, I think it's being overused.
 * 3) Yoshi! Per mario guy, not even as good ether.
 * 4) Since that last featured SMW image, I am get really bored of SMW images.
 * 5) per all.
 * 6) I don't like it. MAYBE if I liked Sonic and hated Mario I would like it since Mario is being destroyed by Bullet Bills, but I'm more of the opposite. My point is, if we all love Mario why are we featuring a picture of him getting beat up?

Yoshi's island cast

 * Subject: Yoshi and several of the monsters of Yoshi's Island
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) detailed and shows lots of cool creatures.

Oppose

 * 1) No backround and waaaaaaaay too small.
 * 2) - Per LKF, even enlarged it's tiny.
 * 3) Nice picture, a pity it isn't bigger..
 * 4) Yoshi! No back and small.
 * Per Karinmij. Seriously, this is tiny.
 * 1) Per all

 * 3) per all.
 * 4) It's too small.

Comments
Zero777 and Baby Mario Bloops: No, this hasn't been a FI before. See here for a list of all past FIs.

Mario Power Tennis group picture

 * Subject: Mario and other characters playing tennis.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Awesome picture. Includes well-known characters and it is really clear.
 * 2) If you just try to ignore the logo it's actually pretty good. Opposers, if boxart shouldn't be featured then how did Mario Party DS get in?
 * 3) Oh!I like this!
 * 4) This one is so much better than the greenish picture from MT64, I support it.

Oppose

 * 1) - It's a boxart with the Japanese logo in the corner. It's good, but we agreed before that boxarts shouldn't to featured.
 * 2) box art + random logo = NO
 * 3) Yoshi! Same as luigi board, good pic but no boxarts or logos.
 * 4) It's just the boxart with only five characters and the game logo.
 * 5) title ruins it.
 * 6) - Actually McQueenMario, we never agreed about that. Some users think so but if it well represents the characters I'm all in! Per TT
 * 7) Maybe I would agree with it, if it was pretty much the same as the boxart! Also, not much to look at.
 * 8) I am Zero! Boxart, that's all. Zero signing out.

Mario Tennis Group Art

 * Subject: Mario Tennis [64's] group picture.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) I nominated it.
 * 2) what's wrong with you opposers? This image is ancient of cours eit's got a bad green background, the point is it's high quality, is very unseen, and has tons of characters!
 * 3) I guess this one's featured image worthy.
 * 4) It's so awesome!
 * 5) It's cool, I'll support.
 * 6) I am Zero! I was about to oppose but I'll like to see this one time on the Main page. Zero signing out.

Oppose

 * 1) Where to begin with what's wrong...
 * 2) Yoshi! Logo and bad quality. Per Timmy Tim. It has lower resolotion than most of the others on this page.
 * 3) - Everyone's to crowded in one spot. Plus, it looks like they burst through a wall!
 * 4) MY EYES!!!! CHEESY COLOURS BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * 5) It's sooo green, not my favorite color.
 * 6) Sorry Booman, but it just has to many flaws in it (crowded, bad title, bad background, etc.).

Mario and Sonic Snowboarding
Nominated by:
 * Subject: Mario and Sonic are snowboarding.

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! Yes this is better than the other, i uploaded this as well.
 * 2) Now this is decent. Shame Sonic is on it though.....
 * 3) This...is...Awesome!!!!! I love this picture!
 * 1) This...is...Awesome!!!!! I love this picture!

Oppose

 * 1) I don't like it.
 * 2) It's much too plain and boring. Plus I absolutely HATE Sonic.
 * 3) Mario looks cool, but Sonic- NOT! Besides, it's pretty boring with two characters and a boring blue background.
 * 4) Boring! It's only two characters and I don't like Sonic much.
 * 5) We already had a Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games image as a candidate. It failed.
 * 6) I am Zero! One similar to this has been posted and it pass, but the difference is this one is too small and it's boring compared to the other one. Zero signing out.
 * 7) No.

Luigi on the pirate ship

 * Subject: A humorous picture of Luigi "Sinking" on a SSBB stage
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * ok: this is like no other picture nominated, but I hope this will be liked enough to be featured.

Oppose

 * Looks strange, like someone cut off his hand and legs. Not really interesting.
 * It's only a picture. Anyone can take a brawl picture and put it up for a FI. Also, this one is not really good, to tell the truth, not much to look at.
 * 1) NO WAY!! Brawl snapshots should not be FIs. I don't think any screenshots should be FIs except that Mario vs. DK one up there.
 * 2) Per all.
 * 3) I could upload a Brawl image too. I have lots of funny ones.
 * 4) I am Zero! This is a screenshot and this is sort of and not sort of considered a personal image. Zero signing out.
 * 5) This place is falling apart.
 * 6) Yoshi! It looks like someone found a random shipwreck picture and photoshopped luigi into it Im afraid.
