On the Super Mario Wiki, most of the larger [[Goomba]] varieties (such as [[Grand Goomba]] and [[Mega Goomba (species)|Mega Goomba]]) all share the same page and are treated as the same species with "Big Goomba" (one of the alternate names) being used as the standard name. The two pages were originally split before being merged on May 2015. |

However Grand Goombas and Mega Goombas are completely separate as not only do they have different names in most other languages, the Mega Goombas are confirmed in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' to be standard Goombas enlarged by [[Kamek]] (in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', it is stated that the Mega Goomba was enlarged by eating a [[Mega Mushroom]]<ref>''New Super Mario Bros.'' Nintendo Official Player's Guide pg. 14 - Looks like a Goomba got into the Mega Mushrooms! Regular stomps won't cut it this time, but you can Ground-Pound the Mega Goomba by leaping from the rising platforms or using wall jumps.</ref>) while the Grand Goombas appear to be naturally large, additionally, while Mega Goomba's appear to be larger than Grand Goombas, the Grand Goomba's trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has confirmed that Grand Goombas and Mega Goombas are different.<ref>Giant Goomba Trophy Description - A giant-sized Goomba, as the name suggests. In ''Super Mario 64'', punching and kicking had no effect on this brute. It could be stopped like normal Goombas--by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appears as the boss of world four in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba.</ref> |

Despite all the evidence, some people back then still said Rocky Wrenches were unrelated to Monty Moles, yet ironically said [[Undergrunt]]s were Monty Mole species despite the Undergrunts having no reliable official confirmation on being a part of the Monty Mole species and them also having completely different designs and attack patterns as well. |

==Tick-Tock Clock Moving Bars being Bomps== |
|||
On the Super Mario Wiki, the Moving Bars (the retractable platforms in [[Tick Tock Clock]]) are treated the same as the [[Bomp]]s (at the time called "[[Pushy Wall]]s") found in [[Whomp's Fortress]] and are even named as "Moving Bars" on the ''Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS'' section of the [[Bomp]] page. This is however false as the Moving Bars look nothing like Bomps (especially as they don't have eyes, are thinner, and aren't made of stone), and the only similarity the two share is retracting from walls and even then, the Bomps move from their walls in a different manner to the Moving Bars, the Bomps/Pushy Walls behave more like obstacles to avoid while the Moving Bars behave like retractable platforms similar to those seen in other games. Even in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Bomps (or Pushy Walls) had their appearance changed while the Moving Bars didn't. Additionally, [[Nintendo Power]] (and even [[Prima Games]]) has made no indication that the two are the same. |
