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.

Morty Moles and Mega Moles being the same

Back when Super Mario 3D Land first released, fans mistaken the Morty Moles who appear in that game as Mega Moles due to the both of them being enlarged Monty Moles. However, Morty Moles have a different way of being defeated and extremely different designs to that of Mega Mole. However, Morty Moles seem to have been based on Mega Moles during development, as their filename is the Japanese name for Mega Mole, being "Indy."

Presenters being the same as Monty Moles

For a long time, the Presenters from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga were mistakenly considered the exact same as standard Monty Moles by fans. However, Presenters were later found out to be their own species of Monty Mole, as they have a unique Japanese name. Additionally, Presenters originally had more resemblance to Mega Moles and had yellow fur. However, in the 3DS remake, Presenters were redesigned to look more like generic Monty Moles.

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