===[[Classic Mode]]===
Any of the following stages: [[Smashville]], [[WarioWare, Inc.]], [[Special Stages: Final Destination|Final Destination (SSBM)]], [[Mushroom Kingdom: Rainbow Cruise|Rainbow Cruise]]. Several others are close, such as Onett and Dream Land.

:May I ask why? FA's are supposed to be the wiki's best articles, no? None of them extremely stand out. They are more so circumstantial cases, as they have special features/quirks. The only one of those would possibly be Smashville, as that is more than a simple "stage" article.'''[[User:Smorekingxg456|<span style="color:#5F9EA0">Smoreking</span>]]<small><sup>[[User Talk:Smorekingxg456#Top|<span style="color:#00FF00">(T)</span>]]</sup></small><small><sub> [[Special:Contributions/Smorekingxg456|(c)]]</sub></small>''' 00:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

===Name Entry glitch===
===[[Platform]]===
I recommend the [[Name Entry glitch]] page. It's a full, well-written article and its subject is of great interest to anyone who isn't aware of it. [[User:WaluigiIsAwesome|WaluigiIsAwesome]] ([[User talk:WaluigiIsAwesome|talk]]) 00:35, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

===Controllers===
Recently I added a user poll to the controllers page because I was interested in knowing which controllers people play with the most.  As of right now, the page (and the poll) have not had much traffic.  I propose adding the controllers page as a featured article so it gets more traffic, and thus more polling.

===Snapshots===
I was just thinking... could [[Snapshots|this]] be a featured article? I'm also somewhat of a noob :S [[User:bobertbojo2|bobertbojo2]] ([[User talk:bobertbojo2|talk]]) 17:49, 9 August 2009
 
===Master Hand===
To me, both the [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]] articles could be featured. They are well written and intriguing. I'm new here, but I found a lot about both bosses when reading. And I've never even fought them. [[User:Movie138music|Movie138music]] ([[User talk:Movie138music|talk]]) 20:39, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 
==[[Lucario (SSBB)]]==
I think that this is a good detailed article, like many of the other Brawl character pages. I think that these all should be featured as they are all long and highly detailed. Then again, the main reason for nomination may be because it is my favourite character in Brawl.

==[[Momentum Canceling]]==
Before Mako Shark and I came along, this page was nothing but a pitiful stub, despite being perhaps the most important new technique introduced in ''Brawl''. Since this page was so underdeveloped, it inspired me to research momentum canceling in more depth. Through testing, I found that stall-then fall attacks do not aid in momentum canceling, that Ike and Snake experience better results using an air dodge instead of their fastest aerial, all of the special moves that do aid in momentum canceling and most importantly, I found out the momentum canceling abilities of every character in the game. I would expand this article by rewriting the intro, adding the vertical and horizontal momentum canceling charts, explain both forms of momentum canceling in more detail, and describe the special moves that negate momentum better than the basic method. Mako Shark helped me greatly on this page as she rearranged the information, did a grammer revision of the article and overall, made the article just look and read much better. Together, we spent hours of hard work giving momentum canceling the page it deserves. I would have to say it is our best article we have on any SSB technique, with the wavedashing article being the only other one that is comparable (which was also a featured article in the past).

Shortcut:
SW:FA

Featured articles are considered to be the best articles on SmashWiki, as determined by our editors. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at featured article candidates for accuracy, completeness, and style. A small bronze star on an article's page indicates that the article is featured.

You can view all featured article snippets on SmashWiki:Featured content/Full.

How to request that an article be featured

To propose an article be featured, please do the following:

  • Create a heading under "Proposed featured articles" that looks like this: ===Article Name===, where "Article Name" is the full name of the article you believe is worthy of being labeled as a featured article.
  • Briefly explain why this article merits featured article status.
  • Be sure to sign your proposition with ~~~~

Classic Mode

Classic Mode is a great choice for a featured article, it it present in all smash games which makes it fitting to be placed on the front page and there is a great description about the mode as well. If this ever was decided to be featured could the merge with Classic mode and 1P Game actually happen?--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk Untitled-1 copy.gif 10:08, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

Neutral on this one, though it seems to be mostly lists of content.
