On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that [[Dry Bowser]] is merely a skeletal form for [[Bowser]], this, however, is only true for one game and this is his debut ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' (although Bowser did briefly assume the form in the ending of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]])'', (in this game, he is merely referred to as "Bowser Bones" and "the Skeletal version of Bowser" in the Official Guide), in all other games (especially in spin offs such as the ''Mario Kart'' series and ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''), he is shown to be a separate character, even a few mainline games such as ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' have shown [[Dry Bowser]] to appear separately from the regular [[Bowser]], there is no way that this Dry Bowser could be Bowser as in the endings of the respective games, Bowser was shown to be alive and well and never turned into a skeleton. Additionally, the main Dry Bowser appears to breathe blue fire while the "skeletal version of Bowser" breathes red fireballs like his fleshy counterpart. Additionally, Dry Bowser's appearance in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' confirmed the two to be separate with Bowser referring to Dry Bowser as a "close family friend". |

Also, as of 2017, the Super Mario Wiki even states Dry Bowser to be apart of the regular (organic) [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] species stating that he is not a [[Dry Bones]], despite the fact that he has been confirmed to be a Dry Bones and that Dry Bones are technically skeletons of [[Koopa Troopa]]s which thereby makes him a Dry Bones and not a regular Koopa. Additionally, the official guide for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' has expanded on Dry Bowser's background not only confirming him to be separate but also referring to him as the King of the Dry Bones rather than merely being the King of the Koopas.<ref> Mario Kart Wii Official Guide pg. 28 - After a little dip in lava, Dry Bowser, king of the Dry Bones returns invincible. Fortunately though, he's driving the same karts and bikes as everyone else!</ref> |

The Super Mario Wiki then used the "Fire Chain" name in every game a Ring of Fire appeared in, even ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', where they were referred to as "Rings of Fire" in-game despite it merely being an alternate name for the [[Firebar]]s and never used for the Rings of Fire. |

==Fish Bones and Bonefins being the same== |

On the Super Mario Wiki (up until late 2017), the [[Bonefin]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' were treated the same as the [[Fishbone]]s, a recurring skeletal fish enemy that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. This however is false as the two enemies are drastically different appearance-wise with Fishbones appearing to be a mere skeletal [[Cheep Cheep]] while Bonefins appear to be robotic fish skeletons lead by [[Kingfin]] that can explode on impact (something that Fishbones don't do), at this time, the Super Mario Wiki even claimed that [[Kingfin]] was the leader of the [[Fishbone]]s which is false as he is actually the leader of the Bonefins. Sources such as Nintendo Power have also established that Bonefins are different to Fishbones referring to them as "Bonefins" rather than "Fishbones". |
