Line 17:
*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, and also 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 variant 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 (Super Mario Galaxy)|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<ref>''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' Official Prima Games Guide - "There is a Pokey lording over the next planetoid. Mario cannot touch Pokeys because they hurt, just like a...prickly plant?"</ref> as "Pokeynuts", the [[Red Pokey]]s as "Pokeyplants", the [[Boulder]]s as "Ruby Rocks", the [[Galactic Tornado]]es as "Bone Twisters", [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] as "Dino Piranha (black)" (even though his name is literally said in-game and he's moreso a dark red), 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, 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 previously mentioned larger Jellyfish which was labeled as "Jam-o'-War"), the [[Chomp Pup]] as "Mini Chomp", and the "Big Goomba" and "Mini Goomba" names which were cited from the Super Mario Wiki. They also have the [[Clam]]s labelled as "[[Clampy|Clampies]], a Clam species debuting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' which looks rather different along with the name never being used for the Clams from ''SMG'' (this was also likely done due to a hasty merge on the Super Mario Wiki's part in late 2017).
*Additionally, in the same section, most of the enemies unique to the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy (series)|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games are using their names from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' rather than their names used in either the original ''SMG'' game as well as the guides and Nintendo Power, [[Crabber]], [[Jack-o-Goomba]], [[Flipbug]], [[Cluckboom]], [[Li'l Brr]], [[Li'l Cinder]] [[Slurple]], [[Octoguy]], [[Octoomba]]<ref>''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' [[Luma (species)|Luma]] ([[Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum]]) - "Careful! Octoombas!"</ref>, [[Spangler]], [[Spoing]], [[Topmini]], and [[Goombeetle]] are all under their current names despite the guides and Nintendo Power stating their names to be [[Crab]], [[Pumpkinhead Goomba]], [[Bug]]/[[Flying Mandibug]], [[Bomb Chicken]], [[Brrr Bit]], [[Burn Bit]]<ref>Nintendo Power (December 2007): One of the Silver Stars is above the dangerous tidal lava so be careful. The rest are easy to obtain, just watch out for the lava tides and avoid the Burn Bits and Lava Bouncers.</ref>, [[Swoopin' Poink]]<ref>Nintendo Power (December 2007): If the Swoopin' Poinks latch on to you, spin to shake them off or else they will suck out your health.</ref>, [[Electrogoomba]] (this name applied for both the Octoguy and Octoomba), [[Hanging Spider]], [[Spider]], [[Mini Topman]], and [[Astro Goomba]] for ''SMG1'' clearly showing that the names were taken from the Super Mario Wiki, additionally, the [[Bomp]] was also under it's current name despite being referred to as "Sliding Stone" at the time of this game and not earning the name "Bomp" until ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' in 2012.
*The ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' section also came with a fair share of errors too, such errors include naming the [[Banzai Bill]]s as "Bomber Bills", the [[Parabomb]]s as "Parachute Bob-ombs", and the [[Missile Banzai Bill]]s as "Bull's-Eye Bomber Bills", other naming errors include using the current names for the [[Hefty Goomba]] and the [[Eep-Cheep]]s despite them being referred to as "Medium Goombas" and "Gold Cheep-Cheeps" respectively in this game. Other misconceptions include naming the [[Missile Bill]]s as "Bull's-Eye Bill" (despite them still being called Missile Bills in this game), the [[Swooper]]s as "Swoops" (despite them being called Swoopers in this game), and the [[Venus Fire Trap]]s as "Fire Piranha Plants" (the name of a similar fire-spitting [[Piranha Plant]] which debuted in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' which was merged on the Super Mario Wiki), and the [[Micro Goomba]]s as "Mini Goombas" (a nickname used in some guides), the [[Fish Bone]] is also labelled under it's current name despite being called "[[Wet Bones]]" in this game.
