In ''Super Mario World'', Monty Moles first appear in the level [[Yoshi's Island 2]]. They | In ''Super Mario World'', Monty Moles first appear in the level [[Yoshi's Island 2]]. They pop out of random spots in the ground to surprise [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and will then chase after him persistently, occasionally hopping in the process. The game also features [[Mega Mole]]s, giant Monty Moles that Mario can actually ride on to get across obstacles, but can still be hit by one. Monty Moles can be defeated by any attack method. In one artwork, they appear to be wearing sunglasses as well as having a short, gopher-like nose. However, in another artwork, they have visible, squinting eyes and long, mole-like noses. This game's graphics seem to depict the latter, though the jumping sprite depicts a slight split in the lip; further games typically used either one of these artworks as a design up until the redesign in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|development builds]] of the game, Monty Moles had slightly different digging sprites from those in the final game.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario World (SNES)/Sprites#Monty Mole|Development:''Super Mario World'' (SNES)/Sprites]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=September 28, 2021}}</ref> | ||
