On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are not related and are merely just friends and nothing more (omitting any mention of them being uncle and nephew). This however, is false as the instruction booklet for ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', as well as [[Nitendo Power]], several [[Prima]] guides, and more have confirmed that [[DK]] and [[Diddy]] are uncle and nephew, prior to 2014, the Super Mario Wiki originally stated that they were uncle and nephew but they have since removed any mention of it. DK and Diddy have only officially been stated to be Uncle and Nephew and no official sources have said that the two are not related. |

==Grubba being a Spike== |

On the Super Mario Wiki (as of 2017), it is stated that [[Grubba]] (from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'') is a [[Spike]] (a turtle-like creature that tosses [[Spiked Ball]]s which first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''). This however, is false as Grubba shares little similarities to a Spike, Grubba is most likely a [[Clubba]] (a larger sub-species of [[Spike]]) given his appearance resembling a Clubba more, not to mention that regular [[Spike]]s didn't appear much in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series at this point. His name theming seems to indicate that he is actually a Clubba (as the two names sound similar). |

[[Image:Peach's Castle Misconception|thumb|right|Proof that the Mansion in Peach Gardens isn't Peach's Castle, the Castle is shown in Mario Circuit and looks nothing like the mansion not to mention the setting around the mansion being different.]] |
|||
Some people claim that the large Peach Mansion in [[Peach Gardens]] is actually [[Peach's Castle]] ([[Peach]]'s main residence which debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''). This is however false as the mansion shares no design similarities to Peach's Castle (such as being longer, only being one storey, the moat not being present, and overall having the design of a mansion). Additionally, the environment around the mansion doesn't look anything like how Peach's Castle does, Peach's actual Castle was shown to appear in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]] and it looked nothing like the Mansion in Peach Gardens. |

[[Image:Ball And Chain Naming Misconception.png|thumb|right|A collage of sources with three of them (top left: ''Super Mario World'' credits, top right: ''Super Mario Advance 2'' Prima Guide, bottom right: ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Prima Guide, showing the Ball 'n' Chain name and one (the ''NSMBU'' Prima Guide) showing the conjectural "Spinner" name proving that the name is exclusive to said guide. There are several more examples of "Ball 'n' Chain / Ball and Chain" being used over "Spinner" which further proves it's illegitimacy as a name.]] |
|||
On the Super Mario Wiki (as of late 2016), the [[Ball 'n' Chain]] obstacle is referred to as a "Spinner". This name originated from the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' Prima Guide however said guide has been known for using names that are either dubious or conjectural for certain enemies and objects but yet the Super Mario Wiki treats the "Spinner" name as the [[Ball 'n' Chain]]'s new and current name despite the fact that the name "Spinner" has never been used in any sources outside the ''NSMBU'' Prima Guide. At the time of the article's rename, ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' (which was released after ''NSMBU'') was already out and that game's guide had the object under the name "Ball and Chain" which pretty much debunks the claim that "Spinner" is the replacement name. Additionally, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', the Ball 'n' Chains are referred to as "Pendulums" in-game and as "Ball And Chains" in the game's files further showing that the name "Spinner" was most likely conjectural (and the author of the guide probably didn't know the object's actual name). Most other sources are seen using the name "Ball 'n' Chain" making that the more common name, the Super Mario Wiki even used the "Spinner" name when referring to the Ball 'n' Chain's role in some of the ''[[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]]'' games as well as ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' despite the name "Spinner" never being used in any of those games (especially the latter where their name is "Ball and Chain"). |

[[Image:Unagi VS Maw-Ray Difference.png|thumb|right|The Unagi's ''MKT'' appearance alongside the Maw-Ray's which shows their differences proving that they're two separate Eel species that only look similar.]] |
|||
On the Super Mario Wiki, the [[Unagi]]s and [[Maw-Ray]]s share the same page and are treated as the same species, this however, is false as while Unagis and Maw-Rays have design similarities, the two are a completely separate Eel species, a couple differences include Maw-Rays lacking the fins Unagis have as well as Maw-Rays having a couple facial features (as well as more rows of teeth) something that Unagis don’t have as well as being larger than a typical Unagi (being close to the size of a [[Mega Unagi]], additionally, Unagis typically swim around the waters (sometimes biting those that come near) while Maw-Rays lunge from their holes at a rapid speed similar to a [[Gringill]] (not to mention that Maw-Rays are also found in areas other than oceans such as those in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] skies. Further proof that Maw-Rays are separate and not a mere redesign of Unagi is that every other returning enemy in ''SMO'' wasn’t redesigned, additionally, Unagis appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' retaining their traditional design. Additionally, the "Maw-Ray" name was never used outside ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. |

Various YouTube videos showcasing the evolution of Unagis have also classed Maw-Rays as the same species however these videos have also considered [[Gringill]]s and [[Spike Eel]]s the same as well (despite both of these being completely unrelated to both Unagis and Maw-Rays). |
