Hi
The current needs to go regardless of the replacement. The suggestion is okay, but the bottom panel seems vertically squashed to me.

Well, here's how it appeared in the actual ending.
I resized the screenshots without changing the aspect ratio.
I cropped the bottom part horizontally so we wouldn't have too much black space in the final image.
I like 3. It illustrates the trope well.

Hmm... I think it's kind of weird to see a person seeing themselves sleeping. Ideally, the person should be seen waking up.
Well, alternatively there's this from Calvin And Hobbes:
EDIT: Or the Mario 2 ending.

Would the Mario suggestion be a spoiler? If not, it's a good candidate.

Technically, yes, but it's It Was His Sled anyway and I can't imagine that anybody actually gives a shit about Mario 2 spoilers.
Edit: I cheated my way through all stars on an emulator to get a better quality version. The ending scene has a sort of letter box though that the rest of the game, doesn't though. As such, I've cropped the image to be smaller, and while I was at it I edited the stats out of the image.

I feel like Nintendo's done enough with Mario over the years that spoiling the ending to one game released in 1988 isn't so bad.
That said, I like a lot.
I like 14.1.
Minor problem: Dream Tropes uses the image of Mario dreaming. Anyone have a good replacement for that?

Maybe a screenshot from this gif
◊ of Pluto dreaming?
^ The shot doesn't imply the dream could have been taken for reality by the audience. A two-shot (within the dream, dream ending) seems to be necessary to depict this aspect properly.
You mean for Dream Tropes or for All Just a Dream?
If we're going to use screenshots that small, we may as well arrange them horizontally to reduce vertical distance.
(Unless the point wasn't to reduce vertical distance but to avoid pixelation, in which case it's worth noting that the Super Nintendo image resolution is 256 pixels wide, and the Game Boy Advance image resolution is 240 pixels wide; so, for either system, we could easily afford to go with larger screenshots.)

^ The former.

Got it; thanks!
I like the vertical arrangement of Mario pic a bit more than horizontal, in that it kinda gives the effect that the dream is being "zoomed out" into the adjoining panel. And I would vote for any of the suggestions in the 14.
Spiral out, keep going.
No, the other one.
Vertical works a little better for above reasons.
Check out my fanfiction!
Eh, vertically doesn't strike me as reflecting the "zoomed out nature" any better, but I'll agree to disagree.
Finally found a version of the GBA version's ending that's in the GBA version's screen resolution, such that it can be almost crisp as erorock's version note without being asymmetric or requiring you to lean in...
Not sure if Wart being there is distracting or not, though. I could keep looking.

Dream Tropes has a very poor quality pic. Pull, so we don't have duplicate.
It's just someone in bed. We could be a little more illustrative than that. How about Alice finding out; in the dream; that it's only a dream?
