Line 10:
Later, [[Boss Bass]], [[Big Bertha]], and [[Big Blurp]] were all merged with the [[Mega Cheep-Cheep]] article (or Big Cheep Cheep as it's called there). This was an even bigger stretch as not only do the Japanese names differ, but don't even look and act the same (Boss Basses attempt to eat their targets while Mega Cheep Cheeps behave like normal Cheep Cheeps only larger). This created even more disorder as both Boss Bass and Big Bertha renditions are merged with two different articles. Not only do the enemies have different names but they also look different so they can't be the same, not to mention that Nintendo Power, the guides for the games as well as the game's themselves have confirmed the Cheep-Cheeps' true names in each game.
==Dry Bowser==
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>
==Enlarged Monty Mole merges==
Line 17 ⟶ 22:
The enlarged Monty Moles in the second ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' volume in ''[[4koma Manga Kingdom]]'' and the ones in hole 7 of [[Wiggler Park]] in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' are also labeled as Mega Monty Moles on the Super Mario Wiki, which is likely false as the name Mega Monty Mole was only used for the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' boss and never used for standard enlarged Monty Moles. However, it is unknown if these enlarged Monty Moles are meant to be big Monty Moles, as the former has a completely different design and appears larger, while the latter are far larger than standard big Monty Moles.
==Gooble Name==
Some fans believe that the [[Swoopin' Stu]] enemy from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' is actually named "Gooble"<ref>https://weirdmarioenemies.tumblr.com/post/680353941127610368/name-gooble-it-is-named-gooble</ref> despite the fact that no official sources have ever referred to it as such. This error was most likely taken from the Super Mario Wiki as the "Swoopin' Stu" page on the site was renamed to Gooble in February 2015, the source given was from the scoreboard of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' as "Gooble" was one of the names listed on the scoreboard this was a stretch as while the scoreboard does list the names of characters, enemies, and species in the franchise we've seen before, it also lists some random names as well (such as "Akiko", Lillygreen", "Dano", etc.) and someone thought that "Gooble" was the name for "Swoopin' Stu".
This caused widespread confusion in the community however on March 2019, the page's name was renamed back to "Swoopin' Stu" and it remained this way until August 2020 where it was renamed back to "Gooble" with the unfurling of the English Mario Portal a month prior however it has been established that the English Mario Portal is not a legitimate or reliable source and therefore none of the names on there should be taken as official. External sources such as Nintendo Power, Prima Games, and several others have all used "Swoopin' Stu" (and none have used "Gooble") as the name which pretty much confirms that Swoopin' Stu is the correct name and "Gooble" is merely another random name seen on the scoreboard of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.
