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.

 * 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.

 * 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.
 * 3) Per Time Q.
 * 4) Per Time Q
 * 5) How can we have a so low quality Image in the Main Page, even if it's "cute" or something like that.... saddly i think this time "Quantity wins over Quality"
 * 6) Per all. The quality is just too poor.
 * 7) Small, blurry, and uninteresting image.
 * 8) Time Q's right.
 * 9) Yup... Per Time Q.....
 * 10) - Although images have passed before this with resolutions almost as low as this one, this picture is very boring.
 * 11) Per Time Q and I just don't think it should be featured.
 * 12) I had second thoughts about this picture. Think about placing this on the main page. It shouldn't go on the main page.
 * 13) Frankly, a very lame image.
 * 14) Low quality, and boring.

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 in the Forest of Illusion

 * Subject: Artwork from Super Mario World depicting Mario, Goombas, Wigglers and a Bob-omb in the Forest of Illusion
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * It's a quite funny scene in a likeable comic style from an excellent Mario game :P
 * 1) Well, we currently have one that's similar, but you do have a point.
 * 2) Ehh, What the heck! I'll support it.
 * 3) - It accurately shows the many different varieties of foes available in that certain level of Super Mario World, no more, no less.
 * 4) wow this is just epic!
 * 5) It's awesome.
 * 6) Every Super Mario World artwork must be featured :D!
 * 7) Simply LOVE SMW artwork
 * 8) I love comical moments like this!!
 * 9) Liked the game, liked the picture
 * 10) Another comical moment
 * 11) I like Mario's expression in this picture!
 * 12) I like SMW, artworks of this game. SMW doesn't have Wigglers and Bubbles simultaneously, but this is nothing.
 * 13) A really funny picture, Mario's face make me laugh xD
 * 14) Heck yes!

Oppose

 * 1) Alright this has been here for too long and it's become boring.
 * 2) I changed my mind. This is kinda funny, but per Lemmy Koopa Fan.
 * 3) - This picture looks sort of... cut off, and it's boring as well. Just another all-round bad picture.
 * 4) - Nice too look at once in a while, but it's a boring picture.
 * 5) Per LeftyGreenMario.
 * 6) Not boring, it's just bland.

Comments
Lemmy Koopa Fan: Too long? It's not even been two weeks, just look at the images at the top of the page :P

Yes, I think this has been here for too long. Because it just doesn't have as much "pazazz" as the ones at the top of the page. So when there's a picture like this compared to the other ones, after about two weeks, it gets boring fast. P.S. When it comes to images like these, I'm slightly impatient.
 * I guess that's okay.
 * But please remember that Featured Images are not for us editors of this wiki, but rather for the readers. They probably have never seen this picture, and thus would not be "bored" if it was featured on the Main Page.
 * I thought this picture was terrible from the very moment I first saw it. This should not go on the main page of the wiki. -
 * I thought this picture was cool from the very moment I first saw it. This should go on the main page of the wiki. :P

Wario's Battle Canyon

 * Subject: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Wario at Wario's Battle Canyon.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 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. Zero signing out.
 * 2) Yeah, I like this picture, very funny.
 * 3) Wario is going to get owned
 * 4) Very great and very funny at the same time! (Look at Yoshi, one of the best LOL moment)
 * 5) I'll support.
 * 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!
 * 13) I loved this game!!!
 * 14) Wario looks very awesome in this!
 * 15) Funny and awesome pic!

Oppose

 * 1) ewwwww...... very ugly picture....
 * 2) Per Lu-igi Board. It's not very colorful. Also, what's with Yoshi?!
 * 3) I'm sick of MP images.
 * 4) All of the characters are either doing something extremely boring, or they look weird. And the mountain that their standing on looks just like the n64 graphics, which not only looks bad, but makes too much unneeded contrast. Per Fawfulfury and Lu-igi board.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Though I like Mario Party pictures, I wouldn't want to see this on the main page.
 * 7) Yikes! Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
 * 8) This is a joke... Look at the Poor graphics. This Image makes Yoshi look bad, and this was a terible game!
 * 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). -

Koopalings NSMBW

 * Subject: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Koopaling design.
 * Nominated By:

Support

 * 1) - Well, lets hope that this passes (third times the charm)! I said that if there was a english one, it would be FI material, and here it is!! Very excellent artwork of the 7 Koopalings in the new game, New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
 * 2) Per Bloops.
 * 3) Now this one is better than the low quality one with (shudder) Bowser Jr. in it.
 * 4) It is actually not bad. Dimenshi Knight can really see it on the main page...He definitely agrees with this!!!
 * 5) Yoshi! Those who moan about a white back, the Pocket Chomp had one and that got featured. I personally love this image.
 * 6) Per YellowYoshi127.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per Al.
 * 10) I can't wait for this game to come out, I want some picture from the game to be featured.
 * 11) Yes, I'm supporting. The reason is because...well, I put it this way, who wasn't exited when they saw this pic!
 * 12) Each time I look at this picture, I like it more and more so I wouldn't mind this becoming a FI :)
 * 13) unlike LeftyGreenMario, i like how they changed iggy's hair. i dont know why but it looks better.
 * 14) I like this image and it seems to be in pretty good quality, so why not?
 * 15) The Koopalings were absent for a long time...and this excellent image is perfect for it's return!
 * 16) asome thay are hard to fight.
 * 17) thay look cool
 * 18) FD09 Unlike other white bg arts, this one is cool because it's reminiscent of their original appearance art.
 * 19) Per Lemmy Koopa Fan.

Oppose

 * Good quality, but apart from that I see absolutely nothing that makes this image FI-worthy. It's just a compilation of some characters in front of a white background... boring.
 * 1) I'm tired of all the Kooplings Featured Images.
 * 2) The background says it all.
 * 3) I hate it. Lu-igi board 15:12, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * 4) Per Time Q ('cept for the white background sucks part).
 * 5) - The background just doesn't work
 * 6) I am Zero! Though having good quality it's just a blank picture with the koopalings pasted on there. This image will do better as a featured article on the koopalings. Zero signing out.
 * 7) This picture is very boring to look at and if it's single artwork placed together, of course it would have good quality!
 * 8) Boring picture. I don't like it how they (Nintendo) changed Iggy's hairstyle; it now looks like an unripened banana! Why does Lemmy have a ponytail? Why is Nintendo so twisted when changing the Koopalings? And don't compare this image to the Pocket Chomp one. The Pocket Chomp has action, but this image is just a bunch of Koopalings standing there.
 * 9) If we let this be a featured image, then every other crappy image will be next.
 * 10) It's high quality, but the background is 100% tedious.

Comments
I think that we should get rid of the other one on this page, so that they don't interfere with the nomiations...
 * It will be removed tomorrow anyway, since there are way more opposers than supporters.
 * Uhh.. Shyster66, there's only been one FI with the Koopalings in it. i'm not trying to make you remove your vote but still.

yes people the koopalings are in 3D. now that I've made this clear, please stop submiting terrible koopaling pictures. thankyou. Lu-igi board 15:15, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Who got rid of Dimenshi Knight's vote?!?
 * Whoops, that might have been me, i tried to revert my mistake on the magazine one by replacing it with this one then realizing that it was at the bottom already. SOrry :(
 * I re-added the vote.

This is a great picture and I voted for it but... you should remove the English in the title. There is no text so it could be Spanish or Japaneses or Korean. Just saying. No I'm not forcing you.

The image is now high resolution. FD09

B.M.B., I think u should put this image on agien once the game comes out. Or find a 3-D Koopalings picture with a backround.

I am Zero! I don't get it, why do a lot of people support this one but a lot of people opposed the NSMBW one with the white background? Like Zafum said, it's just an artwork randomly pated on a white background. Zero signing out.


 * Glitchman, may I just state as a high opinionated statement, but, we already had crappy images pass as FI's! This one is a lot better than others we even featured!


 * Everyone this is complaining about the white background, we have some FI's that also have white backgrounds! This includes the Pocket chomp and Goomba Storm. And don't say that is because their is no action, but this has as much action as the other ones!!!

Invincible Mario

 * Subject: Invincible Mario artwork from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
 * Nominated By:

Support

 * 1) Rainbow Mario artwork got featured, so, why not? This picture is WAY awesome than Rainbow Mario's.
 * 2) Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!
 * 3) Ooh! Pretty!
 * 4) woah! look at all the colours.....
 * 5) - This is alot better and more fit for a FI than some other mario pictures (ex - Ice Mario) that was a FI. This has great details and great style!
 * 6) - I like this
 * 7) This is awesome!
 * 8) awesome picture. why are ppl complaining its not better than rainbow mario? it looks almosy exactly the same!

 * 13) WWWWHHHHOOO! Starman! Dun Dun Dunn Dun! LOVE STARMAN!
 * 14) Extremely colourful, but it doesn't overdo it.
 * 15) Better then the SMG one for sure.

Oppose

 * 1) You can't compare this picture to the Rainbow Mario Galaxy artwork because Rainbow Mario Galaxy had way more color than this picture and I think this picture isn't as good as the Galaxy one.
 * 2) The Rainbow Mario Artwork was colorful and beautiful,but this image is pale.
 * 3) I am Zero! What the bloody hell, it looks like Mario is on drugs. Zero signing out.
 * 4) Per Zero777. Plus, very boring to look at.
 * 5) Holy ****. This is just a powered-down version of the rainbow Mario one!
 * 6) In my honest opinion, both Rainbow Mario pictures are boring, but this is the inferior of the two.
 * 7) - The white background looks bad and the invincibility is just paling the picture.
 * 8) - As much as I like this pic, it's not as good as Rainbow Mario.
 * Ok, like Lefty said, it's just a weaker verion of the SMG Rainbow Mario. Since that was already featured, what reason do we have to put in another one?
 * 1) Per all.
 * 2) Per BabyLuigiOnFire.
 * 3) Per Marioguy1.
 * 4) Per Zero777.

Comments
maybe Mario is on drugs. after all he does love his mushrooms.... Lu-igi board 12:25, 2 November 2009 (EST)
 * I am Zero! Didn't they have an ad in the late 80s saying kids should take drugs because Mario takes mushrooms, how cool is it to grow bigger and stronger. Zero signing out.
 * The stars look a little fake like stickers.

The other Rainbow Mario at least had a black background to contrast with the other colors...

Creepy Steeple

 * Subject: A picture of Creepy Steeple
 * Nominater:

Support

 * 1) I am Zero! Though this is a screenshot it looks very sharp and it looks like an artwork rather then a screenshot in full size. Zero signing out.
 * 2) I don't know why, but I always loved the art style of that chapter in Paper Mario: TTYD! this gets my full support!
 * 3) Lu-igi board what a great image!

Oppose

 * 1) It's kinda low quality and kinda boring. No, very boring. No offence, but it's just the  Creepy Steeple standing there without even any characters in it.
 * 2) Per LKF.
 * 3) What?
 * 4) I agree with lkf it boring and dull it just a house LOL
 * 5) WTF is this sh**

Comments
Hmm difficult, I can't decide. On the one hand I really like the style, I agree with D-Man on that. But I find the quality not so good (sorry Zero777). Perhaps if there is a picture with a better quality, I might decide. .

Per Karinmij.

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

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) I love this picture!!! Same thing about the MP4 Background...and this has everyone's favorite Dinosaur in it...Yoshi! The group pic is high quality, with each Yoshi in a different pose (FI material!!).
 * 4) Colorful and funny. Great pic.
 * 5) Per Fawfulfury65 and Gamefreak75.
 * 6) Per all.

Comments
Okay, not to be mean, but FF65 and Zero777, this is just like the Koopaling picture; white background, character artwork just posted into one big image, and the fact that (again) has a white background!!!! Why support this if you won't support something that is the exact same thing as this image?

Yeah that's a good point. I didn't like the Koopalings picture because they are more spaced out there than in the Yoshi picture and it looks weird. And the Koopalings one wasn't as colorful too! That's all I can think of...

I just don't really know what to do. I like how cute to Yoshis look and all, but I don't like the Yoshi's Island DS art style. So I just won't vote for now. Update: I've decided.
 * Well, LKF, if this would help, don't think about the game and stuff, look at the artwork, the creation (the space between artworks, the poses, etc.). If you don't like the artwork style, then that is pretty much a oppose vote, but this is your opinion. Also, FF65, I'm not mad or trying to force you to change your vote, just that I wanted some reason to why you opposed it (and they are colorful too! Look at the shells...).

This was already a FI,now I remenber it perfectly!,What shall we do?
 * If a picture was featured before, simply remove it. But this one wasn't.

FI are the ones with the shine sprites in the corner of the page, right?
