→Naming Misconceptions
(→Trivia: Considering that Super Mario Party Jamboree also used the "Bomber Bill" name, I think it could maybe be a general rename for the enemy (though due to the unreliability of the Mario Portal, I highly doubt that was the reason why).) |

Following the launch of the English Mario Portal, it was found that those who made the site had taken names (conjectural, foreign, or standard) for enemies from other ''Mario''-related websites such as the Super Mario Wiki and MarioWiki (on Fandom/Wikia). Other names used were either outright false or names that were merely lost in translation. In some cases, it has been shown for the Portal to use names for enemies that either were not used in that game (despite the enemy clearly being named in-game), or using the name of a completely different enemy (whether said enemies were related to each other or not), the section below describes all the inaccuracies, their possible origins, and the correct names and terms for these enemy species. | Following the launch of the English Mario Portal, it was found that those who made the site had taken names (conjectural, foreign, or standard) for enemies from other ''Mario''-related websites such as the Super Mario Wiki and MarioWiki (on Fandom/Wikia).

*On all | *On all 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|variant of them in the early ''Paper Mario'' games]]. This misconception is repeated in every game section suggesting that this error was either derived from the Super Mario Wiki or from errornusly using their current name in the wrong context. | ||
**Similarly, on the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' section, the [[Blooper]]s are labelled under their current name despite the fact that they were referred to as [[Bloober]]s in that game. They first used the name "Blooper" in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and this became their permanent name starting with ''[[Paper Mario]]'', other enemies with similar errors include the [[Goomba]] (which was labelled as "Little Goomba" in-game) and [[Piranha Plant]] (which was labelled as "Pirana Plant" in-game). | **Similarly, on the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' section, the [[Blooper]]s are labelled under their current name despite the fact that they were referred to as [[Bloober]]s in that game.

*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 '' | *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".

Additionally, the Grand Goomba's trophy description in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' confirms that the two Goomba variants are different.<ref>"A giant-sized Goomba, as the name suggests. In Super Mario 64, punching and kicking had no effect on this brute. It could be stopped like normal Goombas--by jumping on it from above. A colossal Goomba appears as the boss of world four in New Super Mario Bros., but that's a Mega Goomba, not a Giant Goomba." Giant Goomba's trophy description, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''</ref> | ||
**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]]''. | **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.

**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. | **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. | ||
