About

On Sunday, May 23, 2010, a proposal concerning several changes in our current main page was accepted by the community and passed. This proposal can be viewed here.

One point this proposal addressed was the creation of a Poll Committee, a selected group of users to create and select polls to feature on the main page. The members of this committee are meant to be selected by a person in charge of the committee, the Poll Committee Chairperson, who shall be elected by the community.

The polls are usually swapped every two weeks on Sunday.

Certain Mario Games have included the ability to dress up the playable character in various costumes as a feature. How do you feel about these costumes? (CaptainOdyssey (talk), August 16, 2026)

Certain Mario Games have included the ability to dress up the playable character in various costumes as a feature. How do you feel about these costumes?

I think that the best way to use costumes can be different depending on the intended design of the game. 34.54% (526 votes)
I like costumes, and I think that they should just be a cosmetic option for the player to express themself. 27.31% (416 votes)
I would prefer that the option to play as different characters be used instead of costumes. 11.49% (175 votes)
I think that costumes should only be applied to signify that a power-up is in use as was common for most of the series (e.g. Fire Flower). 9.46% (144 votes)
I like the inclusion of costumes, but only if different costumes provide some kind of game-play effect such as resistance to a type of damage (e.g. Donkey Kong Bananza). 9.19% (140 votes)
I don't really care about costumes as a feature, but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the game either. 8.01% (122 votes)
