Mario Portal: Difference between revisions

*On all the sections featuring them, the [[Podoboo]]s are labelled as Lava Bubbles. Even in games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' where they were clearly labeled as Podoboos (whether it be in-game or in the guides). "Lava Bubble" has become a common name for the Podoboo since ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (although it was first used in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'') and is also the name of a [[Lava Bubble|similarsubspecies yetof unrelatedthem enemy fromin the early ''Paper Mario'' seriesgames]]. This misconception is repeated in every game section suggesting that this error was derived from the Super Mario Wiki.

*In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' section, all the large enemies which include the [[Grand Goomba]], [[Gargantua Koopa Troopa]], [[Piranhacus Giganticus]], and [[Colossal Paratroopa]] are all labelled merely as "Mega Goomba", "Mega Koopa Troopa", "Mega Piranha Plant", and "Mega Koopa Paratroopa". These names are obviously false as the enemies were all given better names by the official guide for the game (alongside other guides) and it has been confirmed that [[Mega Goomba (species)|Mega Goombas]] are not the same as a [[Grand Goomba]] as Grand Goombas are [[Goomba]]s that are naturally large while it is shown in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' that the Mega Goombas are normal-sized Goombas that have been enlarged by [[Kamek]] (or have used a [[Mega Mushroom]] as seen in ''[[NSMBNew Super Mario Bros.]]''). Additionally, the Grand Goomba's trophy description in ''SSBB'' confirms that the two Goomba varietiesvariants are different.

*Another error from the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' section, they also have the [[Boss Bass]] labelled as "Mega Cheep Cheep" (an unrelated [[Cheep- Cheep]] varietyvariant which doesn't act anything like a Boss Bass, not to mention the fact that the game's guide has confirmed the Boss Bass's name).

*Also on the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' section, they have the [[Swooper]]s labeled as "Swoop" (another name for the Swooper in some recent games (the two names appear to be used interchangeably) and also the name used for them on the Super Mario Wiki) despite the fact that they were referred to as Swoopers in the game as well as the guide for the game,. additionallyAdditionally, the [[Amazing Flying Hammer Brother]]'s name is shortened to A. F. H. Bro which was their abbreviated name in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.

*The ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' section also has several errors, one of the most notable being that it labels the [[Unagi]] as "Maw-Ray" (a similar Eel enemy appearing in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' which the Super Mario Wiki has merged with Unagi due to a few similarities) despite the fact that the enemy was referred to as a "Unagi" by the guide additionally, the guide identifies this Unagi as a standalone Unagi named [[Unagi the Eel]]. A couple more errors included in the section include naming the [[Grand Goomba]] as "Big Goomba" (taken from the Super Mario Wiki due to their merge of "Grand Goomba" and "Mega Goomba"), the [[Micro Goomba]] being labeled merely as "Small Goomba", both [[Venus Fire Trap]] varieties being labelled as "Small Fire Piranha Plant" and "Big Fire Piranha Plant" respectively (both of which were taken from the Super Mario Wiki) [[Bub (species)|Bub]] and [[Bubba]] are also misnamed as "Cheep Cheep" and "Cheep Chomp" respectively despite being confirmed to be a separate species by the guides, notand only justalso looking drastically different, (the [[Cheep-Chomp]] didn't make it's debut until ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in 2006), the [[Snufit]]s are misnamed as [[Snifit]]s (their living counterparts), and the [[King Bob-omb]] is also under his current name despite him being named [[Big Bob-omb]] in this game (he wouldn't be officially named "King Bob-omb" until the USA version of ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in 2012).

*The ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' section has a handful of errors and most of the names included in these sections are either false or lost in translation, many of the misnames in this section include naming the [[Wind Duppy]]/[[Wind Spirit]] as "Cyclo", the [[Coo Coo]] as "Plirp", the [[Jumping Blooper]] as "Bloopad", the [[Pokey Sprout]] as "[[Pokey Head]]" (the name of a similar enemy from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''), the [[Sleeping Boo]] as "[[Big Boo]]" (an unrelated varietyvariant of [[Boo]]), the [[Huge Red Electro-Koopa]] as "Electro-Koopa King", the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]] as "Proto Piranha", the [[Soarin' Stu]]/[[Winged Strollin' Stu]] as "Swipin' Stu (blue)" (the name of a similar flying Stu enemy that steals [[Mario]]'s Cap whereas the aforementioned "Soarin' Stus" don't), the [[Swoopin' Stu]] as "Gooble" ([[List of misconceptions#Gooble Name|based on a misjudgment the Super Mario Wiki made with the ''MGTT'' scoreboards]]), the [[Pink Boo]] as "Block Boo", and [[Mecha-Bowser]] as "[[Mechakoopa]]" (probably the biggest error of all in this section, as "Mechakoopa" is the name of an unrelated wind-up Koopa toy not to mention that the robot is literally named Mecha-Bowser in-game).

*The ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' section also came with a fair share of inaccuracies too, most of them were naming the enemies by their names from the game's sequel. Many of the names used were false and completely mismatch what is said by the game, the guide, and Nintendo Power some examples include labelling the [[Bubble Cannon]] and [[Cannon (boss)|Cannon]] bosses manned by the [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s as "Water Bazooka" and "Electric Bazooka" respectively, naming the Octopus (who's name is said in-game by a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] on [[Kamella]]'s Airship) as "Rocto", treating the second [[King Kaliente]] as a seperate individual naming him "King Kaliente (black)", naming the [[Underwater Mine]]s as "Mikey Mine", the [[Pokey]]s as "Pokeynuts", the [[Red Pokey]]s as "Pokeyplants", the [[Boulder]]s as "Ruby Rocks", the [[Galactic Tornado]]es as "Bone Twisters", the [[Prickly Piranha Plant]] as "Spiny Piranha Plant" (the alternate name for the [[Spiky Piranha Plant]] from the next game, not to mention at the time of this game, the Prickly Piranha Plants were merely called "[[Purple Piranha Plant]]s"), the [[Puffer Fish]] as "[[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]" an unrelated species of [[Cheep-Cheep]] from the mainline games which behaves very differently, with the mis or notion likely stemming from the Super Mario Wiki merging the two species), the [[Lava Bouncer]]s as "Lava Bubbles" (an alternate name for the [[Podoboo]]s used since ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and the name of an [[Lava Bubble|unrelated fire ghost enemy from the ''Paper Mario'' series]]), the [[Big Amp]]s as "Zap Balls", the [[Banzai Bill]]s as "Bomber Bills", the [[Monty]] as "[[Rocky Wrench]]" (an unrelated enemy from the [[Monty Mole]] species that is from the mainline ''Mario'' games which although attacks similarly but, is totally unrelated to Monty and has no connections to them. This incorrect name likely stemmed from a misconception that some fans and YouTube videos made which made people incorrectly think that Monty and Rocky Wrench were the exact same), the [[Spike Beamer]] as "Pulse Beam", the [[Mechakoopa]] as "Micro Mecha-Bowser", the [[Jammyfish]] as "Jam-o'-War", the [[Preying Mantas]] as "[[Jammyfish]]" (which is actually the name of the larger Jellyfish), the [[Chomp Pup]] as "Mini Chomp", and the "Big Goomba" and "Mini Goomba" names which were cited from the Super Mario Wiki.
