A '''reissue''' (also known as a '''re-release''', a '''retool''', a '''port''', or a '''remake''' depending on how much was changed) is a term that refers to any newer version of a previously released video game. This can be done with varying level of change, ranging from an identical game (e.g.: ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]'') to a completely remade game with improved graphics and additional content (e.g.: ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'').

=List of Mario-related misconceptions=
==Bob-ombs name==
A common misreading of the name of [[Bob-omb]]s name is "Bomb-omb", but they are not called this in any official media (besides Yoshi's Story).
==Breaking Brick Blocks==
[[File:Undeground jump.jpg|thumb|[[Super Mario]] jumping]]
[[File:SMB-Mario Jumping.png|thumb|left|100px|''Super Mario Bros.'' artwork]]
A common misconception is that Mario breaks [[Brick Block]]s with his head. However, in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', he breaks them with his fist, in both his [[Super Mario|Super]] form and his [[Small Mario|Small]] form. This is shown in artworks and sprites, where we can see his fist is higher than his head when he raises his arm.
<br clear=all>
==Mario's full name==
The name of the games ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' led some people to believe that Mario and Luigi's last name were Mario, thus being the Mario brothers. Because of this, Mario's full name is given as "Mario Mario" in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie. In a few isolated cases, this has leaked into other media - for instance, the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide book for ''Mario Party 2'' lists his name as Mario Mario in a note section. Also, when people asked Mario (voiced by Charles Martinet) what his last name was, he had responded "Mario Mario".<ref> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAjhjLuWbC8</ref> However, Nintendo of America has stated that "there are no last names."<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMyYRy5SgIM#t=02m00s</ref> This was also recently confirmed by current Nintendo President [[Satoru Iwata]].<ref>http://kotaku.com/5935721/super-marios-boss-doesnt-want-to-overdo-it-with-mr-video-game-and-wont-deceive-you-with-dlc</ref>
His full name is neither "Super Mario". [[Super Mario]] is the name of a form of Mario, which he assumes by eating a [[Super Mushroom]]. Since recent games depict Super Mario as Mario's default form, some people think it's actually his name.
==Kirby's name origin==
Kirby's name does not come from Jack Kirby because he helped Nintendo about a lawsuit (...)
==Yoshi's species==
Some people tend to think [[Yoshi]] is a dragon, or a dinosaur. He is in fact a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. This may be due to some ambiguities seen throughout the series:
*Yoshis are first found in [[Dinosaur Land]] (''[[Super Mario World]]'').
*In the same game, when Mario hits the [[Hint Block]] in [[Yoshi's House]], it displays a message signed "Yoshi the Super Dragon". (does it in the english version?)
*In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film, Yoshi has a more dinosaur-like appearance.
*His Final Smash in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is called [[Yoshi#Super Dragon|Super Dragon]].
