This is a '''list of misconceptions''' throughout the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] and related media. This could range from considering different species (related or not) as being identical to other species, or information that is dubious. Most of these misconceptions either come from fans or the Super Mario Wiki.
==Blue tuxedo Monty Moles==
For the longest time, the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' section on the [[Monty Mole]] page in the Super Mario Wiki incorrectly claimed that there were Monty Moles wearing blue tuxedos that appeared in the penultimate issue. However, these were [[Mega Mole]]s wearing blue tuxedos and not Monty Moles as they were bigger and had the Mega Mole design features. Notably in the first page of the issue, one of the Mega Moles wearing blue tuxedos can be seen along with a Monty Mole wearing a red tuxedo.
==Enlarged Monty Mole merges==
In the Super Mario Wiki, most of the enlarged [[Monty
However, big Monty Moles and Mega Monty Mole are completely separate as they both have different names in other languages (besides their Chinese names), with big Monty Moles seemingly being a natural species while Mega Monty Mole is confirmed in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' to being a standard Monty Mole who was enlarged by [[Kamek]]. Super Choropū also seems to be an individual big Monty Mole (like [[Choropūko]]) rather than being a generic big Monty Mole due to their different name. Big Monty Mole was also merged with Mega Mole before getting their own page on the Suoer Mario Wiki.

==''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Bowser's Castle Ending==
Some believe that in the ending of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Bowser's Castle falls on and crushes [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]], and all 7 of the [[Koopalings]] after the six Koopalings around him help him back up. This is however unclear as the screen fades to black before the castle lands therefore it isn't clear if all 9 of them were crushed. [[Bowser]] and the six [[Koopalings]] around him were most definitely squashed by the Castle but some claim that Larry and Bowser Jr. were crushed as well despite standing further away from the Castle's fall-radius than the others (especially Larry who was heaps far away), whether or not the Castle landed on them as well is debatable.
==Monty Mole Swoopers falling into lava==
When the sections on the [[Monty Mole]] page discussing the Mario manga were summarized, one piece of info it stated was the [[Monty Mole Swooper]]s from volume 5 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' fell into [[lava]] after being defeated by [[Mario]] and his friends. This is false however, as the Monty Mole Swoopers forfeited the fight when Mario and his friends backed them into a corner, with the Monty Mole Swoooers telling Mario and his friends where the pipe to [[Bowser's Castle]] is. However, other pages discussing the Monty Mole Swoopers though do not mention them falling in lava. This misinterpretation was likely caused from not reading through the manga or skimming through the original section prior to it being summarized and poor writing. It could have also been confused with the part at the end of the chapter where Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi falling in the lava, and confusing it for it saying that the Monty Mole Swoopers falling in the lava instead which does not happen.
==Morty Moles and Mega Moles being the same==
Back when ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' first released, fans mistaken the [[Morty Mole]]s who appear in that game as [[Mega Mole]]s due to the both of them being enlarged [[Monty Mole]]s. However, Morty Moles have a different way of being defeated and extremely different designs to that of Mega Mole and have completely different designs and different names in most languages. However, Morty Moles seem to have been based on Mega Moles during development, as their filename is the Japanese name for Mega Mole, being "Indy."
==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 Oso say 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.
