	20:26, 6 September 2018	1,024 × 633 (527 KB)	MarioProtIV	Reverted to version as of 04:49, 2 March 2012 (UTC) its hard to see the entire tropical portion if the ET takes up more space
	12:30, 15 September 2014	1,024 × 642 (530 KB)	Yaviky	Reverted to version as of 02:29, 24 November 2009 : I prefer the full track because someone may want to know where was Mitch going outside the photo. See Hagibis 2014 track.png
