Mario Without His Cap

Well, here we are. I'm not sure if anyone is even going to read this, but I'm probably doing this for myself more than anything. That's right, I have an insatiable and crippling nerdlove of statistics and pie charts, and this blog is just an outlet for that.

I tried to summarize the mission statement of this blog in the blurb above, but I'll reiterate here. Basically, I plan to follow the "Check Mii Out" channel on the Wii since its inception and document the results here. I'll post photos of the winning entries as well as compile data on the results, such as which country had the top-performing Artisans, and where they fell on the results board. So, without further ado, let's get down to it!

Worldwide Contest:

Mario Without His Cap




Wes from the U.S.A. wins! Let's take a look at the top 3 entries.


(Left to right: #1, #2, #3)

They're pretty similar, but overall it's easy to tell why #1 was the winning entry. The height, the eyebrows, and the mustache.

Of the top 3, the top two are from U.S. Artisans, and #3 is from an Artisan in Mexico.

Of the top 10, six are from U.S. Artisans. Mexico, France, Italy and Germany round out the rest of the top 10.

Of the top 50, thirty-eight entries are from U.S. Artisans. Mexico, Italy, Australia and Japan all have two entries in the top 50, which puts them in a four-way tie for a very distant second! France, Germany, Canada, and the UK all have one entry in the top 50 each, the latter two countries barely squeaking in with Canada's entry placing at 48th and the UK right at 50th.

A pie chart of the top 50 results:




Definitely a landslide! U.S. Artisans account for over three-quarters of of the results. Hopefully future competitions will be more multicultural. :)
