Line 5:
==Big Monty Mole and Mega Mole being the same==
Shortly after the release of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', the Super Mario Wiki treated the [[big Monty Mole]]s in the game as [[Mega Mole]]s and put them in the same page as them up until sometime in [[2019]], when ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' released. This misconception was also briefly seen in the
Big Monty Moles and Mega Moles share nothing in common besides being enlarged [[Monty Mole]]s. While Mega Moles have unique properties such as being able to be stood on and not chasing the player, big Monty Moles in ''Super Mario Maker'' function the exact same as their regular counterparts, only bigger. Additionally, big Monty Moles look like normal Monty Moles in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style, further proving that they are not Mega Moles. It was also further proven that big Monty Moles and Mega Moles were separate
Line 47:
==Gooble Name==
[[Image:Scoreboards MGTT.png|thumb|left|Two Screenshots of the Scoreboard from ''MGTT'', the left image shows the "Gooble" name where the misconception originated while the right image shows various other random names found on the Scoreboard showing that "Gooble" is merely another one of those names.]]
[[Image:Gooble Page Error.png|thumb|right|The Super Mario Wiki's "Gooble" page (as of February 2015) with them sourcing the scoreboard as their finding of the name.]]
Some fans believe that the [[Swoopin' Stu]] enemy from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' is actually named "Gooble"<ref>https://weirdmarioenemies.tumblr.com/post/680353941127610368/name-gooble-it-is-named-gooble - An example of someone making the mistake.</ref> despite the fact that no official sources have ever referred to it as such. This error was most likely taken from the Super Mario Wiki as the "Swoopin' Stu" page on the site was renamed to Gooble in February 2015, the source given was from the scoreboard of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' as "Gooble" was one of the names listed on the scoreboard this was a stretch as while the scoreboard does list the names of characters, enemies, and species in the franchise we've seen before, it also lists some random names as well (such as "Akiko", Lillygreen", "Dano", etc.) and someone thought that "Gooble" was the name for "Swoopin' Stu".
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
==Kersti's "Unused" Dialogue==
[[Image:Beta Kersti Misconception.png|thumb|right|The Super Mario Wiki making the error of thinking that Kersti's Wiggler Segement text is unused.]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', there are two different blocks of dialogue used by [[Kersti]] when [[Mario]] tries to obtain the two [[Comet Piece]]s in [[Wiggler's Treehouse]] without having first returned the respective [[Wiggler Segment]]s to [[Wiggler (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Wiggler]]. Many fans believe that these texts are unused and are impossible to see in the game without exploiting glitches (as typically, Mario is forced to battle the Wiggler Segments and beat them in battle in order to reach the Tree Stump scraps to begin with). This is actually false as Mario can also leave the [[Wiggler Segment]]s hiding in [[Strike Lake]] and [[Rustle Burrow]] (Scuttlebug Burrow in Europe) respectively and obtain the Tree Stump scraps in the next respective levels (without having to battle the Segments as they're still hiding in their respective levels) and paste down the tree stumps and see the text normally that way.
Line 73 ⟶ 76:
==''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Bowser's Castle Ending==
[[Image:Bowser's Castle Topples NSMBW.png|thumb|left|A screenshot of Bowser's Castle collapsing (taken the instant before the screen fades to black) showing that it is unclear whether [[Bowser Jr.]] and especially [[Larry]] where crushed as well.]]
Some believe that in the ending of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Bowser's Castle falls on and crushes [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]], and all 7 of the [[Koopalings]] after the six Koopalings around him help him back up. This is however unclear as the screen fades to black before the castle lands therefore it isn't clear if all 9 of them were crushed. [[Bowser]] and the six [[Koopalings]] around him were most definitely squashed by the Castle but some claim that Larry and Bowser Jr. were crushed as well despite standing further away from the Castle's fall-radius than the others (especially Larry who was heaps far away), whether or not the Castle landed on them as well is debatable.
==Para-Beetles and Parabuzzies being the same==
[[Image:Para-Beetle Comparison.png|thumb|right|On the left and right respectively is the clear difference between a [[Para-Beetle]] and a [[Parabuzzy]] and in the middle is an image of the Rogueport Sewers fountain which has some Para-Beetle statues and it is also worth noting that Parabuzzies appear in the same game.]]
On the Super Mario Wiki (since late 2018), it is stated that [[Para-Beetle]]s and [[Parabuzzy|Parabuzzies]] are the same exact creatures just with a different name (with “Parabuzzy” apparently being their name from the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series). This is false however as both species have drastically different looks as well. Para-Beetles are leg-less and their heads are tucked in their sturdy shells for the most part while Parabuzzies have legs and their heads stick out of their shells (almost resembling a regular [[Buzzy Beetle]] with wings). Additionally, Para-Beetles are invincible in most games they appear in while Parabuzzies can typically be beaten with stomps and other attacks and power-ups such as the [[Starman]]. Also, in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', in the [[Rougeport Sewers]], there is a ruined fountain with two statues of Para-Beetles attached to it and these Para-Beetles possess their ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appearance looking rather different to the Parabuzzies which also appear in the game.
Line 114 ⟶ 119:
==Vibe and Colored Enemies in ''Super Princess Peach''==
[[Image:SPP Collage.png|thumb|right|A collage showing various screenshots regarding the whole thing from top left to bottom right, Bowser and his goons are shown to be affected by the Vibe Scepter but then they're back to normal in the next screenshot showing that it's effects are temporary, next it's shown that Peach also has her own Vibes but she wasn't on the Island when the Vibe Scepter was used by the Goomba, the next image shows a [[Mad Green Koopa]] (one of the vibe/colored enemies of the game) who looks different from an average Koopa Troopa (unlike those affected by the Scepter who look the same whilst infused) additionally, the vibe enemies have some extra abilities and are fully conscious of what they're doing meanwhile the Vibe Scepter sends those affected crazy (as seen in Picture A) and if it was the Vibe Scepter how come it only affected some of the enemies rather than every enemy (because the Vibe Scepter is shown to affected everyone within it's radius), Picture E shows that Vibe Island holds great power suggesting that the island is magical (hence it's name) and those that are on it are granted with Vibe Power (like Peach who can control her vibes) and the enemies who appear to naturally be like that, Picture F shows the Glossary description for the [[Sad Goomba]] which makes no indication of it's affected status, many more glossary descriptions treat them as separate sub-species rather than regular enemies affected by the scepter.]]
On the Super Mario Wiki, it is stated that all the enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' that appear to be vibe infused or have different colors (such as the [[Red Paragoomba]]) are under the effects of the [[Vibe Scepter]] which was used at the beginning of the game by an affected Goomba. This however has been proven false as the effects of the Vibe Scepter were only shown to affect the room of Bowser's Villa rather than the whole island, additionally, the effects were shown to be temporary as those that were affected (such as [[Bowser]] and the [[Army Hammer Bro.]]) were shown to be back to normal later on, additionally, those that are affected by the Vibe Scepter look about the same whereas the vibe enemies look rather different to their species origin, especially in the Glossary where they're treated as a separate species rather than the same enemy. More likely the case is the enemies are naturally like that from the magic of Vibe Island (as the game's opening did state that the Island "holds great power") especially with Peach who can control her Vibes but she obviously wasn't affected as she wasn't on the Island when the Vibe Scepter was struck on Bowser's Villa. Additionally, it is shown that everyone within the radius of the Scepter was affected in both Peach's Castle and Bowser's Villa however there are several enemies that appear normal as well. It also has never officially been stated if the enemies are affected by the Scepter or not.
