'Shroom Spotlight

Question: I've taken two images of the Jet costume through Dolphin, one using the native quality (or as close as I can get), and one being put through Dolphin's enhancements (anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, and upping the resolution); which image should be used? The images are here, for comparison.

I strongly prefer the one with the enhancements. It's better illustrative, better presentation, and just better quality overall for the wiki. I think it would also be something our audience would prefer too.

I never believed in the thought that we should make our screenshots be as close to the original software as possible. Especially for N64 games, I don't think they're ever meant to be displayed in that tiny resolution, since most players would see them at the size of their television.
 
For the moment, I've uploaded the higher-quality shot. Now that I'm already running through the game, I might as well try to reupload all the other low-quality images as well.

Pardon, but you say that image is from the 2008 Winter Olympics, when it's from the London 2012 Olympic (judging by the pages it's used on).

Yep, that was a mistake on my part. Fixed that up now.

I know the image has been uploaded, but like Baby Luigi I prefer the latter one.

speaking of which, I'm not the only one who finds the text here eye-wateringly hard to read? I don't think the image is supposed to be viewed at this resolution.

How about Mega Ball Rally for the next wanted article focus?
Click to expand...
All of my focuses for next month have been decided on already, but I don't think Mega Ball Rally should get its own article.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume you're referring to the game mode for Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and as far as I'm aware individual game modes don't get their own articles.
 
There’s a lot more to it than the Spotlight though. The Staff Notes show the best sections to read every month.

I bet a million dollars you’ll find my section in that list.

The minigames from Open have articles, so why not Ultra Smash?
Click to expand...
Because like I said, as far as I'm aware, Ultra Smash treats it as a separate game mode, rather than an individual minigame. You'll notice with all of the other games in the Tennis series that even though their minigames receive articles, the respective game modes, be it exhibition, tournament etc. do not. This also extends across the whole of the wiki.
