While wick cleaning, I noticed that the current image seems unfocused due to text on the right side, while the subject is shoved to the left side.

As an alternate, since the current does illustrate the trope otherwise, how about a version with just the subject in question? The caption can stay the same if this is accepted, since the subject is unchanged.

I'd be alright with the change, pending other options.

I actually like the text because it gives the image context. A weak KUBiS from me.

I find them about equal. Both have their advantages. Which defaults to Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

[up]BUPKIS means you want no image. It's Blank Until Pretty Kickass Image Suggested.

I actually prefer the current version for context. Having no knowledge of the source material, the textless version looks like a regular sized thing with a tiny sized one next to it.

This is one of those tropes that should not require any text in an image to get the idea across; any text is too much text.

If I'm going to be perfectly honest, the current is really shitty if it requires the trophy description. Replace it for something that does not require any text or BUPKIS.

That text is also hard to read. Not much like it, myself.

I agree that the current image is absurdly text heavy for a trope that should be incredibly easy to illustrate with just a simple image. We should try to make images as text-free as possible, they cannot be just an additional paragraph of the article.

Giant Goomba?

[up] That has the player character in there along with the normal-sized mook, which aids in height comparisons. [tup]

I would like to see more than one "normal size" mook.

I like the idea of 8, but is there a version with higher quality?

[up][up]Well, the current image also only shows one of the regular-sized mook, but without showing the scale of the player character.

[tup] for 8, pending a better quality version.

I don't think it's a bad-quality image. Sure, it looks a bit jagged in some places, but the game looks like that too. It'll probably look better at wiki size.

If you find a version that you believe has better quality, feel free to post it, though.

I don't see anything wrong with the quality either.

^^ Looking good; wiki size does make the low graphics less noticeable.

As the Goomba has gathered support, I'll add the image and tag it. Does it need a caption?

Also, as a result, the Big Primid gets the axe. For reference's sake:

For reference, you are the size of the little one.
