Line 92:
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.

==Peach's Castle in Peach Gardens==
Some people the large Peach Mansion in [[Peach Gardens]] is actually [[Peach's Castle]] ([[Peach]]'s main residence which debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''). This is however false as the mansion shares no design similarities to Peach's Castle (such as being longer, only being one storey, the moat not being present, and overall having the design of a mansion). Additionally, the environment around the mansion doesn't look anything like how Peach's Castle does, Peach's actual Castle was shown to appear in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]] and it looked nothing like the Mansion in Peach Gardens.
No official sources have made any indication that this is Peach's Castle and the official Prima Games Guide for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' has referred to it as Peach's Mansion pretty much confirming that this is not Peach's Castle.
==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 also claim 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.
