==Cheep-Chomps, Boss Basses, and other large Cheep-Cheeps==
==Cheep-Chomps, Boss Basses, and other large Cheep-Cheeps==
On the Super Mario Wiki, the [[Bubba]], the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' variation of the [[Big Bertha]], and the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]/[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' variation of the [[Boss Bass]] were merged with the [[Cheep-Chomp]] (mostly due to the enemies sharing similar Japanese names (although this can only go so far as it would mean that the enemies could share the same name but are a separate species as we've seen several times in English releases)). Despite the fact that not only do all the enemies have different appearances, they also have different names. The ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' version of the [[Boss Bass]] remained it's own page (despite the other renditions of the Boss Bass being confirmed to be Boss Basses by the games, guides, and even Nintendo Power). [[Big Bertha]] was also merged with Boss Bass despite her Japanese name being slightly different.
On the Super Mario Wiki, on May 2015, the [[Bubba]] and the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' variation of the [[Big Bertha]] were merged with the [[Boss Bass]] page despite the official Player's Guides and Nintendo Power establishing them to be separate species (with the latter actually being the female [[Big Bertha]] as Nintendo Power has established that the Big Berthas dwell below the waters and only attack those that come near and [[Boss Bass]]es are never seen below deep water). The [[Big Bertha]] page from there only covered the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' information despite them also appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as well and [[Bubba]] was completely merged with [[Boss Bass]] despite the two clearly being different.


On late 2018, [[Bubba]], the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' variation of the [[Big Bertha]], and the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]/[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' variation of the [[Boss Bass]] were merged with the [[Cheep-Chomp]] (mostly due to the enemies sharing similar Japanese names (although this can only go so far as it would mean that the enemies could share the same name but are a separate species as we've seen several times in English releases)). Despite the fact that not only do all the enemies have different appearances, they also have different names. The ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' version of the [[Boss Bass]] remained it's own page (despite the other renditions of the Boss Bass being confirmed to be Boss Basses by the games, guides, and even Nintendo Power). [[Big Bertha]] around this time was also merged with Boss Bass despite her Japanese name being slightly different.

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, additionally Nintendo Power, the guides for the games as well as the game's themselves have confirmed the Cheep-Cheeps' true names in each game and not to mention that Mega Cheep Cheeps themselves appear in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', as [[Boss Bass]]es appeared in the initial game, this pretty much debunks the claim that the ''SMB3'' Boss Basses are Mega Cheep Cheeps.

Later (on mid-2020), [[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 for each of them completely differ from the Mega Cheep Cheep's, 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 early and newer Boss Bass and Big Bertha renditions are merged with two different subjects. Not only do the enemies have different names but they also look different so they can't be the same, additionally Nintendo Power, the guides for the games as well as the game's themselves have confirmed the Cheep-Cheeps' true names in each game and not to mention that Mega Cheep Cheeps themselves appear in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', as [[Boss Bass]]es appeared in the initial game, this pretty much debunks the claim that the ''SMB3'' Boss Basses are Mega Cheep Cheeps.

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.

==Spikes and Spike Traps being the same==
On the Super Mario Wiki, the [[Spike Trap]] obstacles from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' are treated the same as the typical [[Spike (obstacle)|Spike]] hazards found in many mainstream ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games with "Spike Trap" being used as the standard name for both of them. This however, is false as the Spike Traps share little design resemblances to the basic Spikes, the regular Spikes appear as singular Spikes while Spike Traps are orbs that are composed of Spikes around them, additionally, Spike Traps are often seen floating something that regular Spikes aren't ever seen doing. Additionally, the "Spike Trap" name has only been used for the ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' obstacle and has never been used for the regular Spikes found in most other games.

[[Image:SPP Collage.png|thumb|right|A collage showing various screenshots regarding every point of the misconception from top left to bottom right, Picture A: Bowser and his goons are shown to be affected by the Vibe Scepter but then they're back to normal in the next screenshot (Picture B) showing that it's effects are temporary, next, on Picture C, it's shown that Peach also has her own Vibes but she wasn't on the Island when the Vibe Scepter was used by the Goomba, the next image, Picture D, shows a [[Mad Green Koopa]] (one of the vibe/colored enemies of the game) who looks different from an average Koopa Troopa (unlike those affected by the Scepter who look the same whilst infused) additionally, the vibe enemies have some extra abilities and are fully conscious of what they're doing meanwhile the Vibe Scepter sends those affected crazy (as seen in Picture A) and if it was the Vibe Scepter how come it only affected some of the enemies rather than every enemy (because the Vibe Scepter is shown to affected everyone within it's radius), Picture E shows that Vibe Island holds great power suggesting that the island is magical (hence it's name) and those that are on it are granted with Vibe Power (like Peach who can control her vibes) and the enemies who appear to naturally be like that, Picture F shows the Glossary description for the [[Sad Goomba]] which makes no indication of it's affected status, many more glossary descriptions treat them as separate sub-species rather than regular enemies affected by the scepter.]]
On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that all the enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' that appear to be vibe infused or have different colors (such as the [[Red Paragoomba]]) are under the effects of the [[Vibe Scepter]] which was used at the beginning of the game by an affected Goomba. This however has been proven false as the effects of the Vibe Scepter were only shown to affect the room of Bowser's Villa rather than the whole island, additionally, the effects were shown to be temporary as those that were affected (such as [[Bowser]] and the [[Army Hammer Bro.]]) were shown to be back to normal later on, additionally, those that are affected by the Vibe Scepter look about the same whereas the vibe enemies look rather different to their species origin, especially in the Glossary where they're treated as a separate species rather than the same enemy. More likely the case is the enemies are naturally like that from the magic of Vibe Island (as the game's opening did state that the Island "holds great power") especially with Peach who can control her Vibes but she obviously wasn't affected as she wasn't on the Island when the Vibe Scepter was struck on Bowser's Villa. Additionally, it is shown that everyone within the radius of the Scepter was affected in both Peach's Castle and Bowser's Villa however there are several enemies that appear normal as well. It also has never officially been stated if the enemies are affected by the Scepter or not.
