The image on CommonKnowledge.Video Games should be moved to CommonKnowledge.Super Mario Bros due to it being Mario-themed. However, I don't have any suggestions for a replacement.

Image in question:

Left: most people think Mario hits blocks with his head. Right: Mario actually hits blocks with his fist.

I'd be down with that move.

Support the move, but the right side has JPEG artifacting despite being a PNG. Could someone fix that?

EDIT: On second thought, isn't it more important for the medium subpages to have images? I actually say to keep it where it is unless someone has another image in mind.

[up] Agreed. Only move if a new image is found for Video Games.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Keep there until a replacement suggested.

Did my last reply get deleted or something? I'm not seeing it right now. I'll repeat what I posted last time:

The Mario pic is by far The most instantly recognizable image that the page will probably ever have. Neither the Legend of Zelda or Pokemon sub pages have images (and it's ok if we find one for them), but I've scoured over the Video Games page and there just isn't anything else that is both instantly recognized by a wide audience that conveys a common misconception that is simple enough to convey in an image.

Let's not move the pic until there's a solid replacement suggestion. It doesn't need to be better, just solid.

If we're looking for something similar for the SMB page, what about the misconception that Mario hits Yoshi to get him to use his tongue when he actually just points to where Yoshi should use it?

Oh, and [tup] to a quality upgrade for the current. Both sides look pretty bad, IMO.

While I can understand the main medium page having an image, I also think it’s a little odd to have a Mario image on a page with no Mario examples.

The clock's up and if I'm counting right, the votes are about even between move and keep. Locking up.
