Some believe that the name "Turtle Tribe" is merely the Japanese name for the "[[Koopa Troop]]" ([[Bowser]]'s Army) however factually, "Turtle Tribe" is actually the original name for the "Koopa Troop". In the Instruction Booklets for both ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' Bowser's Army is referred to as the Turtle Tribe<ref>Super Mario Bros. Instruction Booklet (English) - "The Princess as well as her Mushroom Retainers are being held in one of the Castles by the Turtle Tribe."</ref><ref>Super Mario Bros. 3 Instruction Booklet (English) - "A host of new characters have joined Bowser and his Turtle Tribe. With this information on these new enemies, you'll be well prepared."</ref> however later games have listed the army under different names (with the most common being the Koopa Troop). Some people also incorrectly believe that the Turtle Tribe is referring to the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] species (despite it being a name for the Koopa Troop). This misconception lead to the Super Mario Wiki incorrectly saying that [[Rocky Wrench]] is a part of the Koopa species due to the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet saying they were a part of the Turtle Tribe.<ref name="Poo"></ref> However the instruction booklet was referring to the Koopa Troop (due to the Turtle Tribe being a name for the Koopa Troop) and not the Koopa species.
 
==Undergrunts being Monty Moles/Montys being Rocky Wrenches==
Back when ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' first released, many fans mistaken the mole species from that game, the [[Undergrunt]]s, as the exact same as [[Monty Mole]]s (or a species related to them), due to the Undergrunts being the only mole species featured in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and having vague similarities. [[Monty]] was also mistaken for [[Rocky Wrench]] by fans as well, due to their similar [[wrench]] throwing behaviors. This misconception was mainly from older revisions of Super Mario Wiki (and various other Mario wikis) and some YouTube videos that are complicationscompilations of Monty MolesMole's evolution in the series (with some of said videoswhich incorrectly showingshowed Undergrunt species orand treatingtreated them likeas a part of the Monty Mole species).
 
However, none of the Undergrunt species have noany reliable official sources that confirm them being a species or relative to Monty Moles. Additionally, Undergrunts bare little to no intentional design similarities to any of the Monty Mole species (despite some fans saying otherwise) and havealso having completely separate attack patterns as well that do not match any Monty Mole attack patterns in the series before and since. [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s are also often compared to the Monty Moles from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', although the Undergrunt Gunner fights have completely different attacks and ways on being defeated to that of the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Monty Mole fights with the only similarity is their manning of a cannon (although the cannons have completely different functions and designs). [[Major Burrows]] was also originally thought of to be the leader of the Monty Mole species. However, this is false since Major Burrows is the leader of the Undergrunt species (which people confused for Monty Moles) and shares no connection to the Monty Mole species whatsoever. Additionally, the E3 [[2010]] beta for ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' shows a [[King Choropū|King Monty Mole]] which further proves that Major Burrows isn’tis not the leader of the species, as the King Monty Mole was made after Major Burrows was created. Although ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Monty has some similarities to Monty Mole and Rocky Wrench (such as having a similar name as the former and a similar attack pattern to the latter), Monty has no design resemblance to any of the Monty Mole species and has a different way on being defeated than to Rocky Wrench. Montys also hide in their holes if Mario gets too close to them, something that Rocky Wrenches do not do. Additionally, none of the Undergrunt species Japanese names bare noany resemblance to the Japanese names for the Monty Mole species.
 
Some illegitimate official sources have given Montys from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' an incorrect name, such as the English ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'' incorrectly naming them Monty Mole and the English ''[[Mario Portal]]'' incorrectly naming them Rocky Wrench.
