It also does not follow the proper coloring for even that version's design - having red spikes and crown tips plus a purple wristband, and his lower lip is red.

*Princess Daisy's artwork depicts her with Princess Toadstool's colors, not her proper colors as seen in the original art from ''[[Super Mario Land]]''.
*Princess Toadstool uses colors based on those of her ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' artworks, even though color models closer to what would ultimately become standard for her had [[:File:PrincessSML.png|already appeared in artwork]].

  • The image of Nipper Plants instead labels these enemies as Munchers.
  • The colors on the Para-Beetle's head and the lining of its shell are reversed.
  • Princess Daisy's artwork depicts her with Princess Toadstool's colors, not her proper colors as seen in the original art from Super Mario Land.
  • Princess Toadstool uses colors based on those of her Super Mario Bros. 2 artworks, even though color models closer to what would ultimately become standard for her had already appeared in artwork. Additionally, an image of her pulling up a vegetable depicts the vegetable as pink with white leaves.
  • One of the two images of Roy Koopa misnames him as "Ray Koopa"; however, the other uses the correct name for him.
  • The spiked ball thrown by the Spike is confused as a Spiny egg.
  • The Spiny's image depicts it as green. Though green Spiny eggs do exist in Super Mario Bros. 3, fully hatched Spinies never appear with that color in-game.
