Line 11:
*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 ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''). Additionally, the Grand Goomba's trophy description in ''SSBB'' confirms that the two Goomba variants are different.
**The section also has the [[Shoe Goomba]] and [[Flame Chomp]] listed under their respective current names despite the fact that at the time of the game, the two enemies were called [[Kuribo's Goomba]]s and [[Fire Chomp]]s respectively, the [[Kuribo's Goomba]] became [[Shoe Goomba]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and the [[Fire Chomp]] became [[Flame Chomp]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
**On the same game, they also have the [[Micro-Goomba]] listed as "Mini Goomba" (an alternate name for the [[Micro Goomba]] in some game guides) despite the fact that all the guides and instruction booklets referring to the game call them "Micro-Goombas", they still have the [[Pile-driver Micro-Goomba]]s labelled correctly suggesting that they also took this from the Super Mario Wiki as they've had the Micro Goomba labeled as "Mini Goomba" since December 2018.
**Another error from the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' section, they also have the [[Boss Bass]] labelled as "Mega Cheep Cheep" (an unrelated [[Cheep Cheep]] variant 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).
*In the ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' section, there was a multitude of problems in the naming such as naming most of the enemies by their Japanese names instead of their English names (which were virtually plagiarized from the Super Mario Wiki but originated from official Japanese sources), they also named the [[Goombo]], [[Bombshell Koopa]], and [[Bullet Biff]] labelled under their respective Japanese names rather than their actual English names. The [[Hanging Piranha Plant]] was labelled as "Upside-down Piranha Plant" despite the former name being their only official name.
*The ''[[Super Mario World]]'' section also labels the [[Galoomba]]s by their current name despite the fact that in this game, they were still known as "Goombas" and they didn't earn the name "Galoomba" until ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.
Line 31:
*There were slightly less errors in the ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' section but there were still several, examples include labelling the [[Mega Poison Piranha Plant]] as "Big Poison Piranha Plant", the [[Banzai Bill]] as "Bomber Bill", and the [[Micro Goomba]] as "Mini Goomba" (once agin a nickname). [[Goombette (Super Mario Odyssey)|Goombette]] is also labelled as an enemy despite not technically being one.
*It is also worth noting that in all the sections featuring them, the [[Koopalings]] merely use their shorthand names and aren't seen using their full names (eg. [[Larry Koopa]], [[Roy Koopa]], [[Lemmy Koopa]], [[Wendy O. Koopa]], [[Iggy Koopa]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.]], and [[Ludwig Von Koopa]] are all merely labelled as "Larry", "Roy", "Lemmy", "Wendy", "Iggy", "Morton", and "Ludwig").
==Trivia==
*Although the ''Mario Portal'' incorrectly calls [[Banzai Bill]]s as "Bomber Bills," ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' would later go on to refer to Banzai Bills as Bomber Bills. Due to the amount of continuity errors and poor research the movie did for the ''Mario'' franchise, it is likely that the movie named Banzai Bill's after their ''Mario Portal'' name rather than their official name (though this is unconfirmed).
