This is a list of misconceptions throughout the Mario franchise and related media. This could range from considering different species (related or not) as being identical to other species, or information that is dubious.

Undergrunts being Monty Moles

Back when Super Mario Galaxy first released, many fans mistaken the mole species from that game, the Undergrunts, as the exact same as Monty Moles (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. Monty was also mistaken for Rocky Wrench by fans as well, due to their similar wrench throwing behaviors.

However, none of the Undergrunt species have no reliable official sources that confirm them being a species or relative to Monty Moles. Additionally, Undergrunts bare little to no design similarities to any Monty Mole species and have completely separate attack patterns as well. Undergrunt Gunners are also often compared to the Monty Moles from Super Mario Sunshine, although the Undergrunt Gunner fights are completely different to the Super Mario Sunshine Monty Mole fights with the only similarity is their manning of a cannon. Although 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 resemblance to the Monty Mole species and has a different way on being defeated than to Rocky Wrench. Additionally, none of the Undergrunt species Japanese names bare no resemblance to the Japanese names for the Monty Mole species.

Some official sources have given Montys from Super Mario Galaxy an incorrect name, such as Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia naming them Monty Mole and Mario Portal naming them Rocky Wrench.
