==Para-Beetles and Parabuzzies being the same==
On the Super Mario Wiki (since late 2018), it is stated that [[Para-Beetle]]s and [[Parabuzzy|Parabuzzies]] are the same exact creatures just with a different name (with “Parabuzzy” apparently being their name from the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series). This is false however as both species have drastically different looks as well. Para-Beetles are leg-less and their heads are tucked in their sturdy shells for the most part while Parabuzzies have legs and their heads stick out of their shells (almost resembling a regular [[Buzzy Beetle]] with wings). Additionally, Para-Beetles are invincible in most games they appear in while Parabuzzies can typically be beaten with stomps and other attacks and power-ups such as the [[Starman]]. Also, in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', in the [[Rougeport Sewers]], there is a ruined fountain with two statues of Para-Beetles attached to it and these Para-Beetles possess their ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appearance looking rather different to the Parabuzzies which also appear in the game.
==Puffer Fish enemy from ''Super Mario Galaxy''==▼
On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that the [[Puffer Fish]] enemy appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' is actually a [[Spiny Cheep-Cheep]], this is false as the two enemies barely look alike, not to mention their behaviors are very different. Spiny Cheep-Cheeps usually home in on the plumbers and attempt to hit them upon sight (similar to a [[Rip Van Fish]]) while Puffer Fish attempt to charge at them before self destructing. Previously, it was mistaken for a [[Porcupuffer]] (another Puffer Fish found throughout the series). The official guide by Prima Games for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' also made this mistake, however, the official guide by Prima Games for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as well as Nintendo Power simply refer to it as a Puffer Fish confirming it to be a separate enemy.▼
==Petey Piranha's sludge balls being Glorpedos==

==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>
