#'''Name provided in-game or in the enclosed instruction manual''' – Ideally, the subject is named in the game itself, but whatever instruction material is enclosed with the game is also considered a primary naming source. If there is inconsistency between the manual and the game itself regarding a name, the game's version takes precedence.
#'''Name from a Nintendo Player's Guide or a Prima Games guide from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''-onward''' – A name from a Nintendo Player's Guide (also commonly known as a Nintendo Power guidebook) is an acceptable alternative. For games released after
#'''Name from a pre-''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' Prima Games Strategy Guide or any other third-party guide''' – A name from an officially-licensed Prima Games Strategy Guide (when they were published concurrently with ''Nintendo Power'') is also an acceptable alternative, though in case of contradictions, the Nintendo Power name takes priority. This also applies to other official third-party guides by companies such as Bradygames. For Japanese names, guides published by [[Shogakukan]] (Nintendo's official guidebook licensee) take priority over other publications.
#'''Name used in officially licensed media''' – A name from any officially Nintendo-licensed non-video game media source. This includes cartoons, movies, magazines, comics and web content. Like games, North American media names get priority, followed by the first international English name and finally, the first non-English source.
