List of misconceptions: Difference between revisions

 

However Grand Goombas and Mega Goombas are completely separate as not only do they have different names in most other languages, the Mega Goombas are confirmed in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' to be standard Goombas enlarged by [[Kamek]] (in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', it is stated that the Mega Goomba was enlarged by eating a [[Mega Mushroom]]<ref>''New Super Mario Bros.'' Nintendo Official Player's Guide pg. 14 - Looks like a Goomba got into the Mega Mushrooms! Regular stomps won't cut it this time, but you can Ground-Pound the Mega Goomba by leaping from the rising platforms or using wall jumps.</ref>) while the Grand Goombas appear to be naturally large, additionally, while Mega Goomba's appear to be larger than Grand Goombas, the Grand Goomba's trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has confirmed that Grand Goombas and Mega Goombas are different.<ref>Giant Goomba Trophy Description - A giant-sized Goomba, as the name suggests. In ''Super Mario 64'', punching and kicking had no effect on this brute. It could be stopped like normal Goombas--by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appears as the boss of world four in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba.</ref> The [[Hefty Goomba]] was also merged with the "Big Goomba" page before getting it's own page in early 2019.

==Enlarged Monty Mole merges==

The enlarged Monty Mole in the second ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' volume in ''[[4koma Manga Kingdom]]'' and the regular Monty Moles in Hole 7 of [[Wiggler Park]] from ''[[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 the enlarged Monty Mole in the second ''Mario Kart 64'' volume in ''4koma Manga Kingdom'' is meant to be a big Monty Mole, as they have a completely different design and appear larger. while the latter are far larger than standard big Monty Moles. As for the Monty Moles in Hole 7 of Wiggler Park from ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', it is likely that those Monty Moles are just normal sized Monty Moles that appear larger due to the player being smaller in Wiggler Park.

==Gooble Name==

Back when ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' first released, many fans mistaken the mole species from that game, the [[Undergrunt]]s, as the exact same as [[Monty Mole]]s (or a species related to them), due to the Undergrunts being the only mole species featured in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and having vague similarities. [[Monty]] was also mistaken for [[Rocky Wrench]] by fans as well, due to their similar [[wrench]] throwing behaviors. This misconception was mainly from older revisions of Super Mario Wiki (and various other Mario wikis) and some YouTube videos that are compilations of Monty Mole's evolution in the series which incorrectly showed Undergrunt species and treated them as a part of the Monty Mole species (with these videos usually also treating [[Major Burrows]] as a regular Monty Mole or the only mole in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', despite both of those being incorrect).

However, none of the Undergrunt species have any reliable official sources that confirm them being a species or relative to Monty Moles. Additionally, Undergrunts bare little to no intentional design similarities to any of the Monty Mole species (despite some fans saying otherwise) and also having completely separate attack patterns as well that do not match any Monty Mole attack patterns in the series before and since. [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s are also often compared to the Monty Moles from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. However, the Undergrunt Gunner fights have completely different attacks and ways on being defeated to that of the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Monty Mole battles, with the only similarity the Undergrunt Gunners share with the Monty Moles in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' being the both of them manning a cannon (although the cannons have completely different functions and designs). [[Major Burrows]] was also originally thought of to be the leader of the Monty Mole species or even just a regular Monty Mole. However, this is false since Major Burrows is the leader of the Undergrunt species (which people confused for Monty Moles) and shares no connection to the Monty Mole species whatsoever. It would also physically be impossible for Major Burrows to be a regular Monty Mole, due to how completely different he is. Additionally, the E3 [[2010]] beta for ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' shows a [[King Choropū|King Monty Mole]], which further proves that Major Burrows is not the leader of the Monty Mole species, as the King Monty Mole was made after Major Burrows was created and completely debunks Major Burrows being the leader of the Monty Mole species. Although the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Monty has some similarities to Monty Mole and Rocky Wrench (such as having a similar name as the former and a similar attack pattern to the latter), Monty has no design resemblance to any of the Monty Mole species and has a different way on being defeated than to Rocky Wrench. Montys also hide in their holes if Mario gets too close to them, something that Rocky Wrenches do not do. Additionally, none of the Undergrunt species Japanese names bare any resemblance to the Japanese names for the Monty Mole species.
