I'd help with the category stuff, but I'm preoccupied with completing challenges in order to have images. Speaking of, does someone happen to know anyone that's completed the really hard challenges and can upload them to the wiki?

You can also just wait until the folks at the Spriters Resource rip the images. Since Mario Kart 8 has some ripped images now, it won't be long until Super Smash Bros. for Wii U sprites of these challenge images crop up.

Bah, I'm impatient. Besides, the challenges are probably low-priority.

Anyone here would happen to know where the "WHAT IS ISLAM" pic in this collage is from?

 

[Vommack]

I cropped out that part of the image and ran a reverse image search. Going by this, it's part of a series of Mario quiz cards. And yes, apparently these actually exist.

Cue the Islamophobic groups barring children from playing the Mario series after depicting Mario praying before the Koran.

Don't worry, he's also a Christian. Also, Peach's blood type is O+. Wow, look at all the important information the cards have that we don't!

Hm, so I guess Mario can embrace all religions. Well, damn, I can't donate my blood to her since I'm B+.

MarioWiki needs these cards. They're officially licensed and they come with neat artworks.

 

[Vommack]

There are tons of pictures of the things, but there doesn't appear to be any actual info on them...

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I guess that can go in the Holy Grails thread.

The artworks would be nice to have despite the little information, though since, well, they are information and we ARE a Mario Wiki. :P

 

[Vommack]

From what I've been able to scrounge up, they're from a company called Atlas Editions and were sent out via subscription. There are a few sets of them for sale online it seems like, but no idea how many there actually are.

Don't worry, he's also a Christian.

Gee, I don't know. Not feelin' the way he's looking at that bible.



To add on the weird Mario merchandise pile, I really wish we had the full context behind this because it's the greatest shit ever.
