Sometimes fans of Mario & MegaMan are often confused with each game series. This is of course caused by the media(magazines, comics, movies, cartoons, etc.) This page is used to clear up some of the myths behind Mario, MegaMan, & even Zelda & Metroid.
Myth: Mario is the best jumper in the world.
Fact: Luigi & Princess can jump much higher & farther than Mario
Theory: This myth could've came from the shows. But SMB2 proves that Luigi is a better jumper.
Myth: The Robots in MegaMan have free will, feelings, can feel pain, & make decisions.
Fact: The robots in the X series have free will & can make decisions. But no robot before MegaMan X could do any of those things
Theory: This myth came from the cartoon shows.
Myth: Dr. Wily created ProtoMan
Fact: Dr. Light created ProtoMan
Theory: The MegaMan cartoon show really screwed up the MegaMan saga.
Myth: Goombas are really stupid giant reptiles
Fact: True, Goombas are stupid, but are mushrooms, not giant reptiles
Theory: The Mario Movie showed Toad turning into a Goomba
Myth: Toad loves Rock & Roll
Fact: There really isn't rock & roll in the Mushroom Kingdom
Theory: Like the MM cartoons screwed up MegaMan, the movie screwed up Mario
Myth: Starmen can only give Mario Fire Power
Fact: Only Fire Flowers can give Mario such power, and Starmen make Mario invincible.
Theory: In most cartoon shows, Mario will say a phrase similar to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in front of a Starman & powers up
Myth: Proto Man is a bad guy
Fact: ProtoMan is mysterious. So far, there's no proof wether he's good or evil
Theory: Both MM5(NES) & the cartoon could've caused the confusion
Myth: Robots are muscular & huge
Fact: Robots's size & appearance depends on what they are. For example. GutsMan would be huge & muscular, but Cutman would be small & skinny
Theory: The cartoon once again caused the confusion
Myth: The Mushroom Kingdom is the home of reptiles
Fact: The residents are mushrooms. Doesn't the name "Mushroom Kingdom" tell you this?
Theory: The movie showed the Mushroom Kingdom inhabited by reptiles & dinosaurs
Myth: MegaMan is MegaManX & ProtoMan is Zero
Fact: All four robots are 4 different robots. Although they have similarities & parralels, but are not the exact same model(s).
Theory: People just took the fact that MegaMan & X are the same robot because of their names.
Myth: The Mother Brain is a metroid
Fact: This is mostly a rumor. There's no proof whether if she is or isn't a metroid. It could be possible, but most likely to be false. This hasn't beem proven either way.
Theory: Since she has the ability to control metroids, people may assume she is one herself
Myth: Link is an elf
Fact: Link is a Hylian
Theory: His pointy ears and the way he looks and dresses
Myth: Luigi is in SM64
FactL Luigi is not in SM64
Theory: Luigi was planned to be in SM64, but was taken out. Probably for space reasons. And people have made fake screenshots of Luigi in SM64.
