On mid-2022, the English ''[[Mario Portal]]'' was released on Nintendo's Japanese website displaying the "English names" and descriptions for several enemies from various games such as ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and more.
However, the names displayed were
It was later discovered that about 89% of the names were taken from the Super Mario Wiki (both old versions and new versions), 4% were taken from MarioWiki (on Fandom/Wikia), and the other 7% were names that are either outright false or names that were lost in translation, a similar thing that happened with the English ''[[Super Mario Encyclopedia]]'' in late 2018.

On the Super Mario Wiki, the [[Glorpedo]]s from [[Noki Bay]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are treated the same as the sludge balls which [[Petey Piranha]] barfs during his second fight in [[Bianco Hills]] and his fight in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. This however is false, as the sludge balls and Glorpedos have no design similarities and function completely differently. Additionally, the Prima guide refers to the balls of goop that Petey barfs as "sludge balls" while giving the correct name for Glorpedo. The Prima Guide alongside other guidebooks also claim that Glorpedos only appear in Noki Bay and not in Bianco Hills. The Prima Guide has also stated that the Glorpedos were created by the [[Monty Mole]] to use for his [[Cannon (Super Mario Sunshine)|cannon]].<ref>''"Bouncing down the green cliffs of Noki Bay are Monty Mole's cannon creations, which knock you down and hit for a damage point. In groups of three, these bounce down the cliff and dissolve in the water below. Ignore or avoid them."'' - Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton.
