Line 156:
==Turtle Tribe VS Koopa Troop==
Some believe that the name "Turtle Tribe" is merely the Japanese name for the "[[Koopa Troop]]" ([[Bowser]]'s Army) however factually, "Turtle Tribe" is actually the original name for the "Koopa Troop". In the Instruction Booklets for both ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' Bowser's Army is referred to as the Turtle Tribe<ref>Super Mario Bros. Instruction Booklet (English) - "The Princess as well as her Mushroom Retainers are being held in one of the Castles by the Turtle Tribe."</ref><ref>Super Mario Bros. 3 Instruction Booklet (English) - "A host of new characters have joined Bowser and his Turtle Tribe. With this information on these new enemies, you'll be well prepared."</ref> however later games have listed the army under different names (with the most common being the Koopa Troop). Some people also incorrectly believe that the Turtle Tribe is referring to the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] species (despite it being a name for the Koopa Troop). This misconception lead to the Super Mario Wiki incorrectly saying that [[Rocky Wrench]] is a part of the Koopa species due to the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet saying they were a part of the Turtle Tribe.<ref name="Poo"></ref> However the instruction booklet was referring to the Koopa Troop (due to the Turtle Tribe being a name for the Koopa Troop) and not the Koopa species.
==Unagis and Maw-Rays being the same==
On the Super Mario Wiki, the [[Unagi]]s and [[Maw-Ray]]s share the same page and are treated as the same species, this however, is false as while Unagis and Maw-Rays have design similarities, the two are a completely separate Eel species, a couple differences include Maw-Rays lacking the fins Unagis have as well as Maw-Rays having a couple facial features (as well as more rows of teeth) something that Unagis don’t have as well as being larger than a typical Unagi (being close to the size of a [[Mega Unagi]], additionally, Unagis typically swim around the waters (sometimes biting those that come near) while Maw-Rays lunge from their holes at a rapid speed similar to a [[Gringill]] (not to mention that Maw-Rays are also found in areas other than oceans such as those in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] skies. Further proof that Maw-Rays are separate and not a mere redesign of Unagi is that every other returning enemy in ''SMO'' wasn’t redesigned, additionally, Unagis appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' retaining their traditional design.
Various YouTube videos showcasing the evolution of Unagis have also classed Maw-Rays as the same species however these videos have also considered [[Gringill]]s and [[Spike Eel]]s the same as well (despite both of these being completely unrelated to both Unagis and Maw-Rays).
Illegitimate sources such as the English [[Mario Portal]] have constantly referred to Unagis as Maw-Rays but this source has been proven to be unreliable as it has given incorrect names for enemies or has given some enemies the name of a completely unrelated enemy (such as calling the ''SMG'' [[Puffer Fish]] a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]], calling the [[Snufit]] a [[Snifit]], and calling ''SMG'' [[Monty]] a [[Rocky Wrench]]).
==Undergrunts being Monty Moles/Montys being Rocky Wrenches==
