==Plagiarism==
Following the release of the encyclopedia in English, it was found that one of the translators had taken conjectural and foreign names for characters from fan websites such as the Super Mario Wiki and Fandom's MarioWiki. This especially concerns enemies and characters from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', as well as others such as [[Winged Strollin' Stu]] (dubbed by the book by its former conjectural name used on the Super Mario Wiki, "Soarin' Stu") and [[Comet Tico|Lumacomète]], which is actually the character's French name, used by the Super Mario Wiki at one point due to a lack of an English name.<ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/10/it_looks_like_the_official_super_mario_encyclopedia_plagiarised_a_fan-made_wiki It Looks Like The Official Super Mario Encyclopedia Plagiarised A Fan-Made Wiki].

==List of English translation errors and typos not from the Super Mario Wiki==
*On page 11, the book uses edited Japanese artwork from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' that changes the release years to the years that the games were released in {{wp|Western world|the West}} with the exception of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Because of this, the artwork erroneously places ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in front of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World]]'' despite ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' releasing before those games were released in the West. ''Super Mario Land'' is also placed in front of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' despite ''Super Mario Land'' releasing earlier in the West. These errors are fixed on page 13.
*On page 15, all of the [[Koopalings]] use only their first names except for [[Wendy O. Koopa]], who uses her first and middle names, and [[Ludwig von Koopa]], who uses his full name.
*A character overview for ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' describes [[Toad]] as a single character, rather than the [[Toad (species)|multiple Toads]] shown fleeing [[Peach's Castle]].
*The English translation states that the [[POW Block]] debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', which is not true as it debuted in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', with its ''Super Mario'' series debut being ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
*On page 25, the English translation erroneously states that the first unmodified American release of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' was the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console]] release in 2014, despite that title actually going to the earlier [[Wii]] Virtual Console release in 2007.
*On page 25, in the paragraph about ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''{{'}} story, the book claims that "*This text is translated from the Japanese instruction booklet." However, the story includes a reference to Princess Toadstool in the second paragraph, which changes to "[[Princess Peach]]" in the third.
*On page 28, the paragraph about [[World 9-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-3]] claims that the only enemies in the level are [[Bowser's Brother|Blue Bowser]]s, despite there being only one.
*On page 44, [[Bullet Biff|Pipe Cannon]]s are called Gina Cannons. Additionally, the descriptions of them and the rest of the ''Super Mario Land'' enemies use a corruption of the original names from ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guides as opposed to their manual romanizations.
*On page 45, this is stated under "A Hidden World": "''After [[Mario]] defeats [[Tatanga]], the Mushroom Castle on the title screen turns into a Mario Castle and he can enter a world with a lot more enemies than before.''" This is a mistranslation—the word should be "Cursor," not "Castle."
*On page 51, the [[Blooper Nanny]] that fires [[Blooper Baby|Bloober Babies]] is called a "Scatter Bloober," which is supposed to be "Scattering Bloober."
*On page 51, the [[Fire Nipper Plant|Fiery Walking Piranha]] is called a "White Piranha," one of [[Nipper Plant]]'s alternate names. It is referred to using plural pronouns despite only a single Fiery Walking Piranha appearing in the game.
*On page 64, the book refers to [[Parabomb|Para-bomb]]s as Para-Bob-ombs and [[Spike Top]]s as Red Spike Tops.
*On page 68 of the Japanese version, the enemies 「ハックンＡ」 and 「ハックンＢ」 have their names swapped. This is corrected in the English version under the names "[[Ninji]] 1" and "Ninji 2" on pages 35 and 36, respectively.
*On page 68 of the English version, it is stated that [[Ice Block]]s can be broken with a [[Spin Jump|spin jump]]. This is a mistranslation—it should state that Ice Blocks cannot be broken with a spin jump.
*On page 71, the book incorrectly refers to [[Wiggler]]s as "Wrigglers" twice before correctly referring to them as Wigglers in the same paragraph. On page 86, the Wiggler is incorrectly called a Wriggler again.
*On page 71, when the book describes ''Super Mario World''{{'}}s perfect score, there is an image of a zoom-in of an image of the Japanese version's title screen showing the perfect score of 96. However, the actual image of the title screen that is being zoomed in has three empty save files with no score, and is shown on the North American version.
*On page 77, the levels [[Invincibility!|Roots Course]] and [[In the Trees|Tree Trunk Course]] have their names swapped. This mistake is present in the Japanese version and other translations as well.
*On page 78, the book incorrectly gives the name "[[Fire Piranha Plant]]" to the [[Piranha Plant (statue)|Piranha Plant statue]].
*On page 85, [[Ukiki|Ukkiki]]s are referred to as one character, despite two appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. This is fixed on page 86.
*In the ''Super Mario 64'' section, the Wiggler is treated as the generic enemy rather than an individual, using plural tense and stating that Wigglers are angry when Mario [[stomp]]s them. In actuality, the Wiggler is a boss found on [[Tiny-Huge Island]].
*On page 91, the [[Work Elevator]] is incorrectly called a [[Directional Lift]].
*On page 93, [[Snowman's Land]] is incorrectly called "Snowman's Mountain."
*[[Lava Bubble|Sparkies]] do not appear in the ''Super Mario 64'' section of the book.
*On page 101, the Buckies are referred to as "The Packees," which is a misreading of the Japanese ''dakuten'' as ''handakuten''. In addition, the characters are individually named with the direct romanizations of "Mai-Mai," "Miru-Miru," and "Maki-Maki," instead of the game's localizations of Ducky, Plucky, and Lucky.
*On page 119, "[[Red Ring]]" is not capitalized.
*On page 128, [[Pulse Beam]]s are called Ring Beams.
*On page 128, [[Monty]]s are incorrectly called [[Monty Mole]]s.
*On page 134, the book incorrectly refers to [[Eye Beamer]]s as "sentry beams."
*On pages 145 and 195, in the "enemies" sections for ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', respectively, [[Climbing Koopa]]s are listed as "Climbing Koopa (Green)" despite red Climbing Koopas not being listed in those sections and not being in those games.
*On page 148, the description for the [[World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|final course]] states: "''Mario and his friends cross the [[Bone Lift]]s over the [[lava]] to get to its deepest depths.''" The next page inconsistently refers to [[slow falling platform|that object]] as a "BONE PLATFORM."
*On page 149, the description for [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|W9-3]] states: "''On this course, [[Banzai Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Banzai]]s come one after the other.''" It should mention [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s (or Missile Bills), not Banzai Bills.
*On page 159, "[[Digga-Leg]]" is unhyphenated.
*[[Stone wheel]]s do not appear in the ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' section of the book.
*On page 194 of the Japanese version, the [[Grinder]] obstacle has the description: 「刃を回転させながらルール上を移動している。大きなタイプもある。」 (''They spin their blades as they move on their rule. There is also a big type.''). 「ルール」 (rule) is a typo of 「ルート」 (route). This is corrected in the English version.
*The purple variants of [[Dragoneel]] do not appear in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' section of the book.
*On page 224, the screenshot for the [[Coin Box|? Box]] actually depicts a [[Propeller Box]].
*On page 226, "[[Fizzlit]]" is misspelled as "Fizzlet." On page 159, "Fizzlit" is correctly spelled.
*On page 229, the icon shown for [[Captain Toad Makes a Splash]] is the one for a [[Mystery House]] instead of that of a [[Captain Toad]] course.
*On page 236, the first [[Warp Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' is erroneously stated to be found in [[Conkdor Canyon]] (World 2-1), when in reality it is found in [[Koopa Troopa Cave]] (World 1-2).
*On page 241, under "[[wikibound:EarthBound|EARTHBOUND]]," it is stated that "''If the player allows the game to suggest a character name, options such as Mario and [[Luigi]] come up.''" While this is technically true for the Japanese version, ''Mother 2'', the English localization of the game changes the ''Super Mario'' references to unrelated names.
*On page 245, under "[[Densetsu no Stafy 3|DENSETSU NO STAFY 3]]," it is stated that "''Mario appears during a stage.''" In actuality, this is [[Wario]], which is mentioned correctly in the Japanese version.

==List of English translation mistakes and names from the Super Mario Wiki==
*Page 44: A Genkotsu is known as a "[[Pipe Fist]]," which was a conjectural title from 2015 to 2018. The wiki reverted to this title in a 2022 proposal.
*Page 55: A [[tornado]] is known as a "[[Tweester]]" in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' section, which was conflated by the wiki from 2006 to 2017. The same oddity exists in [[Prima Games]]' ''Playing with Power: Nintendo NES Classics''.
*Page 63: A [[Jumping Fire Piranha Plant]] is known as a "Fire Jumpin' Piranha," which is based on the wiki's conjectural "Fire Jumping Piranha" title from 2015 to 2018.
*Pages 75 and 76: With the exception of "[[Fireball Boy]]," nearly every enemy name from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' is directly lifted from the wiki titles, with macrons removed from romanizations where applicable. This includes "[[Bee Fly|Be]]" and "[[Bomubomu]]," which went under the names B Fly and Bomubomu 1 2 3, respectively, in the Japanese version. This is similar to what was done to enemies that had not had their names localized (or had not had their localized names discovered) from ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' in Dark Horse's book ''The Legend of Zelda: Arts & Artifacts''. Additionally, "[[Ant]]" was a general term and "[[Beebee|Bibi]]" had a name in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', leading both articles to be retitled in 2019. Most of these names would later appear on the English Mario Portal website.
*Page 78: A [[Moneybag (item)|Moneybag]] is known as a "Money Bag," which was an unsourced title from 2007 to 2017.
*Page 85: In the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' section, the "[[Boss Bass]]" entry states that it is also known as "[[Bubba]]" in the description, which is not mentioned in the Japanese version. With current information, [[Cheep Chomp]] is considered to have had the alternate name Bubba, with Boss Bass being the name of a previous, similar iteration of [[Big Cheep Cheep]], although Cheep Chomp is referred to as Boss Bass in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''.
*Page 86: A [[Moneybags]] is known as a "Moneybag" in the ''Super Mario 64'' section only, which was the name used by the wiki from 2009 to 2018. This name would later appear on the English Mario Portal website.
*Page 92: A [[chair]] is known as a "Killer Chair," which is a translation of an unofficial Japanese name styled after [[Bookend|Killer Book]] and [[Mad Piano|Killer Piano]]. In the book, the latter two are listed among enemies, while the former is listed among "Items & Obstacles." Additionally, it has a completely different name in the Japanese version of the book (Poltergeist).
*Page 92: A [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]] is known as a "Kuromame," which is a romanization of an unofficial Japanese name used by the wiki from 2011 to 2017. The Japanese version of the book uses the name Keronpa Ball, which is based on the enemy's appearance as [[Flame Chomp|Keronpa]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
*Page 99: The [[Electro-Koopa King]] is known as "Electro-Koopa (green)," which was a conjectural title from 2015 to 2019.
*Page 100: A [[Winged Strollin' Stu]] is known as a "Soarin' Stu," which was a conjectural title from 2007 to 2017.
*Page 101: The [[captain|captain at Ricco Harbor]] is known as the "Pianta Captain," which was a conjectural title from 2007 to 2019.
*Page 101: The [[Noki grandson]] is known as the "Noki Elder's Grandson," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2019.
*Page 105: The [[electric goop]] is known as "Electric Graffiti," an [[Orange Juice Generator]] is known as a "Forcefield," and the [[burning goop]] is known as "Lava Graffiti," which were conjectural names in the [[goop|graffiti]] article from roughly 2008 to 2019.
*Page 119: A [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]] is known as an "orange platform," which was a conjectural name in the [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2]] article from 2008 to 2013 and subsequently the [[World 2-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] article from 2013 to 2022.
*Page 119: A [[face block (platform)|face block]] is known as a "Platform Block," which was an unsourced title from 2009 to 2019.
*Page 119: A [[Blue Coin]] is known as a "[[Silver Coin]]" in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' section, which was the case in the Silver Coin article until a 2018 proposal.
*Page 126: [[Comet Tico]] is known as "Lumacomète," which was a French name used as the article title from 2012 to 2018 that was briefly changed in 2014 and 2015.
*Page 127: A [[Spoing]] is known as a "Bouncing [[Scuttlebug]]" in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' section only. This is a remnant of when Spoings and [[Sprangler]]s were erroneously considered Scuttlebugs by the wiki, which was settled via a 2012 proposal that was mistakenly neglected until 2018.
*Page 127: A [[Bonefin]] is known as a "[[Fish Bone]]." The wiki considered them the same thing despite different appearances and Japanese names until a 2018 proposal.
*Page 128: A [[bat (Super Mario Galaxy)|bat]] is known as a "[[Swoop]]" in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' section only. The wiki considered them the same thing despite different appearances and Japanese names (but with basis within internal data) until a 2017 proposal.
*Pages 127 and 159: A [[Mini Chomp]] is known as a "Chibi Chomp." This is an unofficial localization of its alternate Japanese name (Chibi Wanwan) that was used as the wiki title from 2016 to 2017.
*Pages 127 and 159: A Fire Pressure is known as a "[[Fire Shooter]]," which was a conjectural title from 2007 to 2015. This name would later appear on the English Mario Portal website.
*Pages 127 and 159: A [[Mikey Mine]] is known as a "[[mine|Floating Mine]]." The wiki considered them the same thing despite different appearances and Japanese names until a 2023 proposal.
*Pages 128 and 160: The Stink Bug Parent is known as the "[[Mandibug Stack]]," which was a conjectural title from 2013 to 2017. This name would later appear on the English Mario Portal website.
*Pages 128 and 161: A [[Tracks (enemy)|Tracks]] is known as a "Starbag," which was an unofficial translation of its apparent German name used by the wiki from 2009 to 2017.
*Pages 128 and 161: A [[Spring Vault]] is known as a "[[Sentry Beam]]," with the actual Sentry Beam known by its Japanese name "Laser Pod" in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' section and the name "Mobile Sentry Beam" (on page 160) in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' section. Additionally, a [[Ball Beamer]] is known as a "Bolt Beam" (on page 126) and its description suggests that it is a derivative of the book's Sentry Beam, which is not mentioned in the Japanese version. This is all based on previous versions of the Sentry Beam article from 2010 to 2018, where the conjectural names "Mobile Sentry Beam" and "Bolt Sentry Beam" also appeared.
*Pages 128 and 161: The names of [[Spiny Piranha Plant]] and [[Prickly Piranha Plant]] are swapped. This mirrors a mistake on the wiki that went unnoticed from 2010 until 2019, when the [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations#Piranha Plant|Piranha Plant guidance]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' used the correct names.
*Page 136: A [[Banandelion]] is known as a "Fling Flower," which was a separate article using a conjectural title from 2011 to 2018.
*Pages 137 and 171: A [[rubbery bulb]] is known as a "Stretch Plant," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2019.
*Pages 137, 171, and 186: A [[note]] is known as a "Rainbow Note," which was an unsourced title from 2006 to 2019.
*Pages 144 and 146: A [[Hefty Goomba]] and a [[Big Goomba]] are respectively known as a "Big Goomba" and a "Mega Goomba" in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' section only. This is taken from a mistake that was in their wiki articles, which was not fixed until 2018.
*Page 150: An Obake Stand is known as a "[[Ghost Vase]]," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2017. The wiki reverted to this title in a 2022 proposal.
*Pages 151 and 217: The [[poison fog|ash]] is known as "Volcanic Smoke," which was a conjectural title from 2016 to 2018.
*Page 159: The fiery version of [[Gobblegut]] fought in the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]] is known as "Fire Gobblegut," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2016. On page 167, it is known as "Fiery Gobblegut," which was a conjectural title from 2016 to 2019.
*Page 160: A [[Golden Gummit]] is known as a "Gold Gummit," which was a conjectural name in the [[Gummit]] article from 2013 to 2019.
*Page 161: A [[Spinecone]] is known as a "Spiny Hermit," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2019.
*Page 161: A [[Spindleburr]] is known as a "Spiny Stretch Plant," which was a conjectural name in the Stretch Plant article from 2010 to 2019.
*Page 161: A [[Trapdragon]] is known as a "Venus Flower Trap," which was a conjectural title from 2011 to 2019.
*Page 161: A Pattan is known as a "[[Whimp]]," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2018 that was briefly changed in 2015. This name would later appear on the English Mario Portal website.
*Page 166: The [[Sand Bird]] is known as the "Sand Sailer," which was a conjectural title from 2010 to 2020.
*Page 169: The [[red and blue blocks]] are known as "Reversible Walls" in the description for [[Flip-Out Galaxy]], which was a conjectural name from 2013 to 2022. However, they are instead called "Red and Blue Blocks" in the description for [[Wicked Wall Jumps]].
*Page 185: A [[Flip Panel (platform)|Flip Panel]] is known as a "Flip Panel Switch," which was an incorrect name in the [[Special 6-3]] article from 2017 to 2022.
*Page 201: A [[segmented platform]] is known as a "[[Spine Coaster]]." The wiki considered them the same thing despite different appearances and Japanese names until a 2020 split.
*Page 210: A Dai Gorō is known as a "[[Mega Grrrol]]," which was a conjectural title from 2012 to 2017. This name would later appear on the English Mario Portal website.
*Page 215: A [[Huge Fire Bar]] is known as a "Big Fire Bar," which was a conjectural title from 2015 to 2019.
*Page 217: An [[arrow lift (New Super Mario Bros. series)|arrow lift]] is known as a "Switchback Platform," which was a conjectural title from 2012 to 2018.
*Page 227: The pink [[Hisstocrat]] is known as "Queen Hisstocrat," which was a conjectural title from 2013 to 2019.
*Page 241: The 11.20.1995 US release date of ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'' is stated to be "11.27.1995," which was claimed by the wiki from 2016 to 2023.
*Page 242: The 3.9.1998 US release date of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' is stated to be "3.10.1998," which was claimed by the wiki from 2013 to 2020.
