==Bowser's antagonistic roles in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS''==
On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that Bowser kidnaps [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] (alongside [[Peach]]) in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and steals all the babies in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. This is however false as [[Bowser]] was not the sole mastermind in either of those games, he was shown working with close allies who were the ones doing the kidnappings.
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] were actually ambushed by [[Goomboss]], [[King Boo]], and [[Chief Chilly]] as they approached the [[Big Bob-omb]] in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] (as it was revealed by two [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] that they not only entered the painting but headed for the mountain suggesting that they were ambushed on the way up). Additionally, the bosses themselves admit that they were the ones who imprisoned their respective captors before their battles meaning Bowser couldn't've done it. Also, Bowser seems like he had no idea that they were kidnapped as well more concerned about how he kidnapped [[Peach]] and took the [[Power Star]]s.
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', [[Bowser]] didn't kidnap the babies at all (like the Super Mario Wiki claims he was the sole kidnapper) but rather, [[Kamek]] and the [[Toady|Toadies]] were the ones kidnapping the babies as shown in the games opening crawl, additionally, the game's intro states that it is "Kamek's Plan" rather than Bowser's, Bowser's involvement in the scheme wasn't revealed until [[World 4 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 4]] where he was revealed to be one of the big bad's in on the plan but not the perpetrator of the plot.
==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.
==Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong==
On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are not related and are merely just friends and nothing more (omitting any mention of them being uncle and nephew). This however, is false as the instruction booklet for ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', as well as [[Nitendo Power]], several [[Prima]] guides, and more have confirmed that [[DK]] and [[Diddy]] are uncle and nephew, prior to 2014, the Super Mario Wiki originally stated that they were uncle and nephew but they have since removed any mention of it. DK and Diddy have only officially been stated to be Uncle and Nephew and no official sources have said that the two are not related.
==Dry Bowser==
Line 66 ⟶ 76:
Typically, Mario isn't able to go after another segment without having first returned the proceeding one, for example, trying to get the second [[Comet Piece]] in [[Strike Lake]] whilst still with the third Wiggler Segment will cause the Segment to get in the way of the Bowling Ball knocking it off course.

==Mario punching Yoshi in Super Mario World==
Some fans believe that [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] (depending on who is playing) punches [[Yoshi]] to get him to stick out his tongue in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. This however is false as upon closer inspection, it is shown that [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] is actually pointing. The graphics make it look like he's clenching his fist but upon closer inspection, a finger is visible. This is even more clear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and onwards, an official artwork of the game also shows that Mario is actually pointing and not punching as some people believe.
Some people also believe the myth after an article was published in September 2017 showing that Nintendo stated that Mario was originally punching Yoshi in ''Super Mario World''. Many fans believed that this was Nintendo confirming that Mario was actually punching Yoshi however the article actually states that that was actually a [[beta]] concept where they were originally going to have [[Mario]] punch [[Yoshi]] but they then changed it to pointing so he doesn't seem like an animal abuser so as a result, Nintendo actually confirmed the opposite. This misconception was most likely stemmed from people not reading beyond the article's title.
==Masato Mizuta voicing Monty Mole==
Some people and sources believed that [[Masato Mizuta]] is the voice actor for [[Monty Mole]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3002604/ IMDb incorrectly saying that Masato Mizuta voices Monty Mole]</ref> However, this is incorrect as technically [[Charles Martinet]] is the current voice actor for Monty Mole, due to Monty Mole's sounds being proven to just be heavily edited and distorted [[Mario]] voice clips taken from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e4PUW0CQag</ref>
Line 88 ⟶ 104:
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.

==Nitro Cups Name==
Some people claim that the name "Nitro Cups" is the name for the [[Mushroom Cup]], [[Flower Cup]], [[Star Cup]], and [[Special Cup]] in all the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' games starting with ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' however this is only true for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They have never officially been referred to as "Nitro Cups" outside these games, in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', they are referred to as "Wii Cups" and in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', they are simply referred to as "New Cups". The name "Nitro Cup" was intended to pay homage to the [[Nintendo DS]]'s codename prior to it's reveal (which was "Nitro"). It was changed in all later games (except for ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') as the reference would most likely be out of place on consoles unrelated to the Nintendo DS.
==Para-Beetles and Parabuzzies being the same==
[[Image:Para-Beetle Comparison.png|thumb|right|On the left and right respectively is the clear difference between a [[Para-Beetle]] and a [[Parabuzzy]] and in the middle is an image of the Rogueport Sewers fountain which has some Para-Beetle statues and it is also worth noting that Parabuzzies appear in the same game.]]
Line 119 ⟶ 139:
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.
==SMG Robot Merges==
On the Super Mario Wiki (up until 2019), many of the laser-shooting robot enemies from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' (namely, the [[Sentry Beam]], [[Spring Robot]], [[Ring Beamer]], [[Ball Beamer]], [[Eye Beamer]], and [[Jump Guarder]]) all shared the same page and were treated as being the same with "Sentry Beam" being used as the standard name for all of them. However, the enemies not only all have different names but they share absolutely no design similarities, and most of them have different behaviors with the only similarity being that they all (except for the [[Jump Guarder]]) shoot beams of electricity. No official sources have made any indication that the species' are connected in any way, not to mention a different name being applied for each one in various sources such as Guides, Nintendo Power, and even the Internal Files.
Various illegitimate sources such as the [[English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]] have labelled the Spring Robots as "[[Sentry Beam]]s" and the Sentry Beams as "Mobile Sentry Beams" and the [[English Mario Portal]] has labelled the [[Jump Guarder]] as a "[[Sentry Garage]]" (but these sources has been proven to be illegitimate as they have given enemies the wrong names or referring to them as the incorrect species such as it incorrectly calling the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' [[Monty]] a [[Rocky Wrench]]).
