Line 5:
==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.
==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. ▼
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.▼
==Enlarged Monty Mole merges==
Line 12 ⟶ 17:
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.
==Moneybags and Coin Coffers being the same==▼
Back when ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' was first released, fans thought that [[Coin Coffer]]s were the same as the [[Moneybag]]s which debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' due to them possessing similar traits and behaviors despite their drastically different appearances and being referred to as a different species altogether by Prima Games and Nintendo Power respectively.▼
▲==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.

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.
==Vibe and Colored Enemies in ''Super Princess Peach''==▼
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.▼
==''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.
▲==Moneybags and Coin Coffers being the same==
▲Back when ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' was first released, fans thought that [[Coin Coffer]]s were the same as the [[Moneybag]]s which debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' due to them possessing similar traits and behaviors despite their drastically different appearances and being referred to as a different species altogether by Prima Games and Nintendo Power respectively.
==Monty Mole Swoopers falling into lava==
Line 38 ⟶ 35:
==Presenters being the same as Monty Moles==
For a long time, the [[Presenter]]s from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' were mistakenly considered the exact same as standard [[Monty Mole]]s by fans. However, Presenters were later found out to be their own species of Monty Mole, as they have a unique Japanese name. Additionally, Presenters have a strong resemblance to [[Mega Mole]]s (more so than Monty Mole), but with additional yellow fur and a red bowtie. However, in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]], Presenters were replaced with bowtie wearing Monty Moles that serve the same function. For a long time, people thought that these Monty Moles were a redesign to Presenters rather than being generic Monty Moles (similar to what later happened with [[Mawful Mole]] in the 3DS remake of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''). However, it was later discovered that [[Play Nintendo]] confirmed that these were just regular Monty Moles in the remake and not Presenters.<ref>https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mario-luigi-superstar-saga-bowsers-minions-tips-tricks/</ref>
==Rocky Wrench being a part of the Koopa species==
In the Super Mario Wiki, Rocky Wrench is listed as being a species of [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]. Although in various early sources for Rocky Wrench called them a turtle, Rocky Wrenches were never called a Koopa. Some people say the Japanese ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' instruction booklet claimed that Rocky Wrench was a part of the Koopa species. However, it only said that Rocky Wrench was from the "Turtle Tribe" (which is likely just another name for the [[Koopa Troop]]).
==Rocky Wrench not being a Monty Mole species==
In the early days of the Super Mario Wiki, many fans debated on if [[Rocky Wrench]] is a [[Monty Mole]] species or not (with some claiming they are unrelated even with the similarities). Rocky Wrench being a turtle or a mole was also debated during this time.
However, Rocky Wrench is likely both a turtle and a mole as they are confirmed to be so in several descriptions (with older descriptions of Rocky Wrench also calling them a "mole-like turtle"). Rocky Wrenches also have many connections to Monty Mole such as their redesign in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' looking nearly the same as a Monty Mole, Rocky Wrenches being grouped with Monty Moles in various guidebooks which feature the both of them, [[Pūko]] from ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 46|volume 46]] being both a Monty Mole and a Rocky Wrench, ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and its [[Super Mario Maker for the Nintendo 3DS|3Ds port]] having Rocky Wrench becoming a Monty Mole in the course maker when shaking them and vice versa, among other pieces of evidence.
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.
==Undergrunts being Monty Moles==
Line 45 ⟶ 52:
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.
▲==Vibe and Colored Enemies in ''Super Princess Peach''==
▲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.
