It also says in SSBM that Donkey Kong's first appearance was Donkey Kong, and that's not true.
And Birdo isn't Yoshi's girlfriend, it's his gay transvestite boyfriend. Read the SMB2 instruction manual. It says "Ostro" 'thinks he is a girl'. In the credits, the "Ostro" creature is a Birdo, and due to some translation error, they named it Ostro instead of Birdo. Therefore, Birdo thinks he is a girl. He even has a girl's name. In Japan his name is Catherine.
