Hello from the Super Mario Wiki! I'm a user who regularly makes edits there (under the name Time Turner), and the wiki has plenty of articles on various Smash 4 stuff, like items, moves, stages, etc. I've been uploading images taken by me on these topics and they're all pretty high-quality, if I do say so myself. I haven't had the chance to examine every page to see which ones needed images, but if it's all right, I'd be perfectly comfortable with grabbing images from one wiki to another, or even other people doing it so long as they give me credit. However, the policies and how-to on uploading images are quite different between this wiki and the Mario Wiki, such as what license and what categories to use. I'm also not sure if you guys would be comfortable with some low-edit user uploading or reuploading batches of images (such as swapping [[:File:BombchuWiiU.png|this Bombchu image]] for [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:BombchuSSB4.jpg this one]). Whenever you can, get back to me on how you'd like to proceed. Thank you very much! [[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] ([[User talk:Reversinator|talk]]) | Hello from the Super Mario Wiki!

:It's really a case-by-case basis. The specific comparison you made, the Bombchu image, would indeed by an improvement. However, there are a couple things to keep in mind before doing any bulk image work. For starters, you should avoid overwriting any images off of the official site, which we want to keep around. On top of that, it would be a good idea to make sure each upload is a worthwhile upgrade of an image like the Bombchu one; that one is desirable as a 1-to-1 replacement since you're overwriting a low-value, low-quality pre-release screenshot with a good quality version of the same image from the final game. For example, replacing [[:File:SSB4 - Gust Bellows.jpg|this image]] with [[mariowiki:File:SSBWiiU Gust Bellows.jpg|this one]] would be a '''bad''' replacement, since the former is a PotD and shows it in use, both of which are different from the screenshot you took. Does that make sense?

::Basically, replace like with like as long as there's a clear quality boost, right? A couple more questions: replacing the Gust Bellows image is a no-go, as you said, but would it be okay if I simply uploaded the image separately from that one? The one you guys have is good for showing it in action, while the one I have gives a better look at the actual item. The licensing is also still an issue for me: over on the Mario Wiki, we'd have a license for what the image literally is (game screenshot, tv screenshot, logo, magazine scan, etc.) and then a category with what game/show the image is from. You guys don't quite have that; I'll probably be fine on my own ([[Template:Fairuse]], then whatever character(s) appear in the image, right?) but forgive me if I make any errors along the way.
