Moles[1][2] are friendly Monty Moles featured in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake. They give presents to Mario and Luigi, such as items, clothing, or badges. Asking them again after getting the item will result in them telling the player that they are greedy, and that they cannot receive any more items. In the original game, moles are yellow in color, have the shades, hair, and mouths of Mega Moles, and wear red bow ties; in the remake, they simply look like Monty Moles, but still have the bow ties. There are 11 moles in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and 12 in its remake.
Moles are present in Hoohoo Mountain, Beanbean Fields, Oho Oasis, Joke's End and Bowser's Castle.

In this section, Mario can drink from the water spout and then Luigi can tickle Mario from behind in front of each of the six plant roots.

Beanbean Fields | Tickle | West of the area south of the entrance to Teehee Valley, the brothers can undergo a series of obstacle courses, ultimately leading them to the next area on the west, where a cave awaits them at the end.
