==Errors==
''Super Mario Bros. Print World'' contains numerous errors and inconsistencies on the included graphics and their labels.
*The image of the [[1-Up Mushroom]] as seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' depicts it as yellow with black text, not red with white text.
*Most objects and surfaces that are supposed to be blue actually appear purple.
*[[Bowser]]'s image depicts him as "King Koopa," his version from the DiC cartoons ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', rather than his design from the games which would match most of the other artworks. 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.
*The image labeled "[[Cheep Cheep]]" does not depict a regular Cheep Cheep, but ''three'' [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s. It also shows them in three colors, when only one color of them exists.
*In the "Mario and Buzzybeetle" image, the Buzzybeetle's shell is red, not the proper blue.
*The [[Koopa Paratroopa]]'s artwork depicts its shell with the colors of the joining bridge and plaston reversed.
*The [[Marine Pop]] and [[Sky Pop]] from ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' are blue, not the proper yellow.
*A drawing of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Toad]], and [[Luigi]] as seen in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' Japanese boxart is labeled as "Mario & [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]".
*In the "Mario Bowling" artwork, Mario is really playing with snowballs, not bowling balls.
*An image of Mario from ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'' is labeled "Mario in Helmet," even though Mario is not wearing a helmet in that artwork, only holding it.
*The "Mario Magician" artwork shows Mario using a party popper, rather than actually performing a magic trick.
*[[Mouser]]'s gloves, shoes, and the inside of his ears are miscolored; they are actually supposed to be pink.
*The image of [[Nipper Plant]]s 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 [[:File:PrincessSML.png|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|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.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]], a [[Boomerang Bro|Boomerang Brother]], a [[Buster Beetle]], and the transformed [[Sea Side]] King appear on the boxart, but are absent from the graphics included in the program itself.
{{rewrite-expand|February 28, 2020|Include all errors}}
 
* ''Super Mario Bros. Print World'' is rife with labeling errors. Notably, an image of [[Princess Peach]], [[Toad]], and [[Luigi]] is labeled as "Mario & [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]", and one of two images of [[Roy Koopa]] misnames him as "Ray Koopa" while the other uses the correct name for him. Artwork for [[Nipper Plant]]s is labeled as [[Muncher]]s.
==References==
*The program uses official artwork from games as its sprite images. However, [[Bowser]]'s image is based on his appearance from the DIC cartoons ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
