==Peach's Castle in Peach Gardens==
[[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.

No official sources have made any indication that this is Peach's Castle and the official Prima Games Guide for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' has referred to it as Peach's Mansion pretty much confirming that this is not Peach's Castle.

==Petey Piranha's sludge balls being Glorpedos==
==Petey Piranha's sludge balls being Glorpedos==
On the Super Mario Wiki, the [[Glorpedo]]s from [[Noki Bay]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are treated the same as the sludge balls which [[Petey Piranha]] barfs during his second fight in [[Bianco Hills]] and his fight in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. This however is false, as the sludge balls and Glorpedos have no design similarities and function completely differently. Additionally, the Prima guide refers to the balls of goop that Petey barfs as "sludge balls" while giving the correct name for Glorpedo. The Prima Guide alongside other guidebooks also claim that Glorpedos only appear in Noki Bay and not in Bianco Hills. The Prima Guide has also stated that the Glorpedos were created by the [[Monty Mole]] to use for his [[Cannon (Super Mario Sunshine)|cannon]].<ref>''"Bouncing down the green cliffs of Noki Bay are Monty Mole's cannon creations, which knock you down and hit for a damage point. In groups of three, these bounce down the cliff and dissolve in the water below. Ignore or avoid them."'' - Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 18.</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 that barely resemble anything the Monty Mole species has done.

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").

Various illegitimate sources such as the ''[[English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'' have labelled the Spring Robots as "[[Sentry Beam]]s" and the Sentry Beams as "Mobile Sentry Beams" and the ''[[Mario Portal]]'' has labelled the [[Jump Guarder]] as a "[[Sentry Garage]]" (but these sources has been proven to be illegitimate as they have given enemies the wrong names or referring to them as the incorrect species such as the ''Mario Portal'' incorrectly calling the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' [[Monty]] a [[Rocky Wrench]]).

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 distinct 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).
