'''Monty Moles''' are surly moles that have appeared in several [[Mario (series)|Mario games]], including a few side-scrollers such as ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They later reappeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and other recent titles. In these games, Monty Moles are generally cowards who throw rocks at [[Mario]] and then burrow underground before he can counter-attack.

Monty Moles were major opponents in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They acted as [[Bosses|mini-boss]]es in the game. Each Monty Mole manned a single cannon, attacking Mario with [[Bullet Bill|Bullet Bills]] and [[Bob-omb]]s. As such, Monty Moles appear to be very technologically advanced.

Monty Moles appeared as obstacles in the [[Moo Moo Farm]] course of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', where the instruction booklet referred each of them as a '''Chubby''' rather than Monty Mole. Monty Moles were also obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', at [[Donut Plains 2]] and [[Donut Plains 3]], and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where they were referred to by their canonical name, and mostly appeared in the returning Moo Moo Farm. In the ''Mario Kart DS'' [[Mario Kart DS#Mission Mode|mission]] 3-6, the player's task is to hit five Monty Moles. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' they appear in [[Moo Moo Meadows]] and also appear as audience members in other courses. Mario Kart DS's [[Peach Gardens]], which features Monty Moles, returns in Mario Kart Wii, still with them.

== History ==

=== ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' ===

Monty Moles chronologically first appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. One is encountered in the [[Gritzy Desert]], and will prevent the four Mario Bros. of past and present from progressing unless they can complete the mole's challenge. Two more are seen in the underground region of the [[Koopaseum]]. The two run an [[Item Shop]]. Additionally, deep in the [[Gritzy Caves]], two more Monty Moles run two more challenges that must be completed.

=== ''[[Super Mario World]]'' ===

[[image:MontyMoleArt.jpg|thumb|right|Artwork of Monty Mole from ''Super Mario World''.]]

''Super Mario World'' featured regular Monty Moles that would pop out of random spots in the ground to surprise Mario. The game also featured [[Mega Mole|Mega Moles]], giant Monty Moles Mario could actually ride on to get across obstacles. Monty Moles can be Defeated by being eaten by [[Yoshi]].

[[image:Sm64montymole.jpg|thumb|left|Monty Mole in ''SM64''.]]
=== ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' [[Super Mario 64 DS|''(DS)'']] ===
Monties appeared in [[Hazy Maze Cave]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' [[Super Mario 64 DS|''(DS)'']]. They would throw rocks at Mario and then disappear underground. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically resided in a toxic maze filled with poisonous fog. This fog made it harder to see and attack the moles. They also appeared in a section of the level [[Tall Tall Mountain]]. If Mario defeated many Monty Moles in a row, he would be rewarded with a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

=== ''[[Paper Mario]]'' ===

During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Monty Moles appeared at [[Mt. Rugged]]. They attacked by throwing rocks at Mario. If Monty Mole successfully hurts Mario outside battle, the enemy will make the [[First Strike]] thus hurting Mario unless he blocks the attack from reducing. In one of the walls of the mountain, there is a Monty Mole-shaped hole, through which an endless stream of moles can pop out. There was also a stronger, green variety of Monty Mole found in [[Flower Fields]]. However, these stronger moles were still named Monty Moles. When they are defeated, they occasionally drop a [[Honey Syrup]].

=== ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' ===

[[Image:MMSS.jpg|thumb|right|A Monty Mole, as depicted in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]

Two Monty Moles (or they could be the same mole) appear twice in ''Super Mario Sunshine'': once in [[Pinna Park]] and the other time in [[Noki Bay]]. The Pinna Park Mole was found in a [[Cannon]] to the far right of the stage, harassing the [[Great Sunflower]] and her subjects. After Mario defeated it, he could jump into the cannon and attempt a secret course and a [[Pianta]] repairman would later replace the Monty Mole. In Noki Bay, the Monty Mole is at first blamed for the bay's pollution, as it's cannon rests on a stopper that is obstructing the bay's waterfall. Once Mario climbs to the top of the waterfall and defeats the Monty Mole, he will be rewarded with a shine, although the Monty Mole was later revealed to not be fully responsible for the bay's pollution (the blame actually fell on [[Eely Mouth]]).
Both Mole's attack patterns are basically the same. When Mario is afar, they attack him by firing [[Bullet Bills]] and [[Missile Bill|Missle Bills]] out of their cannons. When Mario nears the cannon itself, the Moles will throw [[Bob-ombs]] from inside it. The only way to damage them is to stun a Bob-omb with [[F.L.U.D.D]] and then throw them at the Monty Mole while it's head is out of the cannon. Three throws, and the Monty Mole will be defeated.

=== ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' ===

Monty Moles are actually portrayed as friendly creatures in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', where they can be found in well hidden locations throughout the game. If Mario or Luigi reached a Monty Mole's chamber, it would give them a prize of some sort, such as clothing, items or badges. The Monty Moles of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' are golden in color, they also wore red bow ties.

=== ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' ===

In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', Monty Moles appear as somewhat uncommon enemies, attacking [[Yoshi]] in a manner similar to their attack pattern from ''Super Mario World''; leaping from the ground or by charging at Yoshi. Here, Monty Moles could be defeated by either jumping on them, throwing an [[egg]] at them or by encasing them in a circle with the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Stylus.

=== ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' ===
[[Image:MSBMonty.jpg|frame|left|Monty Mole getting ready to bat in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''.]]
Monty Moles also appeared in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' as an unlockable character. Oddly enough, they are members of Mario's team. They have the ball dash ability, which allows them to run extremely fast while in possession of the baseball.

=== ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' ===                                     

[[Image:2t_whack-a-monty.png|frame|right|Whack a monty.]] 
 
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Monty Moles appeared in a mini-game titled "[[Whack-a-Monty]]". [[Monty Tank]], a Monty Mole riding a tank, is the [[boss]] of the [[World 6 (NSMB)|World 6]] Castle. The Monty Mole riding the tank fires Bullet Bills and Bob-ombs. You can defeat it by either jumping on Monty Mole's head, when he comes out to throw a Bob-omb, or to [[Fire Flower]] him.

=== ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' ===
[[Image:MontymoleMSC.PNG|thumb|150px|right|Monty Mole in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.]]
Monty Moles is a sidekick in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. They are Power Players, which means they are good at shooting and tackling, but cannot pass very well. Their [[Skillshot]] is [[Dirt Drill]], where they go underground with the ball, dig towards the goal, and pop up near the [[Kritter|Goalie]], and shove him aside, shoving the ball into the goal. Sometimes, the Goalie will block Monty Mole, shove Monty Mole into an Electric Fence, and the move will fail. This happens to be their second playable appearance in a sports title.

=== ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' ===

Monty Moles appeared in Mario Party DS as owners of the shops. Once players enter the Warp Pipe, they could buy items from him. Monty Mole also appeared in the minigame, Mole Thril. In this minigame, players had to dig with their partner through the dirt, while staying ahead of monty mole.

=== ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' ===

Monty Mole makes another party appearance in Mario Party 7. On the board [[Pyramid Park]], he appears when the player lands on the [[? Space]] on the far right of the board, next to three pots. He offers to play a game of Whack-the-snake-and-not-the-mole. In the minigame [[Sphere Factor]], three or four of them pop out of the ground towards the end (before the bridge) and try to prevent the player from rolling the huge ball to the finish line. Monty Moles also appear in the minigame [[Monty's Revenge]], where they are the one whacking the players with hammers.

===''[[Mario Party 8]]''===
[[Image:MP8_Crops'n'Robbers.JPG|right|thumb|The mini-game, '''Crops 'n' Robbers''' from ''Mario Party 8''.]]
Monty Moles appear again in a Mario Party game. This time a bunch of Montys appear in the minigame [[Crops 'n' Robbers]] where one player has to whack montys that are in the holes, so the players can gainway. The other player has to collect the carrots to win the game.

===''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''===
[[Image:Monty.jpg|thumb|left|Major Burrows fighting [[Mario]] in [[Super Mario Galaxy]].]] 
Monty Moles with eyes open and seeming angry can be encountered in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]. In the same galaxy, A huge Monty Mole called [[Major Burrows]] appears as a boss that the player will need to face. He wears a large [[Spiny Shell]]-like helmet on his head to prevent the player from jumping on him. There are also three other Monty Mole Bosses called [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s, which are similar to the tank moles in [[New Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Super Mario Sunshine]]. Undergrunt Gunners are blue, but turn red and mad out of anger when it is 2 times hit, and has only 1 life. They seem to panic if Mario is above their machine.

== Appearances in Other Media ==

[[Image: GopherBash.jpg|thumb|right|Several Monty Moles, pinning [[Cheatsy Koopa]] to the ground in the ''Super Mario World'' episode "Gopher Bash".]]

=== Cartoons ===

Monty Moles, though never called as such and always referred to as '''Gophers''', appeared in the episode "[[Gopher Bash]]" of the [[Super Mario World (TV series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]].

In the episode, several Monty Moles acted as minions of [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]], aiding him in his plot to steal all the crops grown by the cave-people of [[Dome City]]. These Monty Moles are eventually defeated by Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]], who, after tracking Cheatsy down, sneak up on the moles, tie them up, and suspend them from the ceiling. The Monty Moles are then dropped on top of Cheatsy Koopa, pinning him to the ground.

=== Comics ===

In the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, several Monty Moles are sent by [[Bowser]] to attack [[Princess Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Castle]]; these Monty Moles, along with the rest of the monsters sent by Bowser, are defeated by Mario and Luigi.

Later in the comic, a Monty Mole, wearing a blue tuxedo, is seen among the attendees in Bowser's wedding to a brainwashed Princess Toadstool.

== Trivia ==

* The [[Mukumuku]]s of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' possess an attack pattern similar to the Monty Moles of ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario 64'', popping out of the ground and throwing objects; Mukumukus also have a slight resemblance to Monty Moles.
* Monty Moles are commonly associated with speed (though in Mario Strikers Charged they were in the slow catagory); not only can Monty Mole perform the ball dash in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', but also most Monty Moles in ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'' run speed-related obstacles. These constant references to fast Monty Moles may be throwbacks to ''Super Mario World'', where Monty Moles could move at fast (but slippery) speeds.
* The boxart of the game ''[[Mario Golf (series)#NES Open Tournament Golf (NES)|NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' depicts what resembles a Monty Mole, though much smaller in size.
* A Mario Party Advance - style Monty Mole is seen briefly in the opening video of [[Mario Power Tennis]] (under the stairwell while the police are chasing Wario and Waluigi) although he is wearing white shoes.

They are moles that dart out of holes in the ground to either quickly pursue [[Mario]] or another character or to throw rocks at them. In several games, Monty Moles appear in {{wp|Whac-A-Mole}}-themed [[minigame]]s. Monty Moles seem to have initially been based on [[Rocky Wrench]]es from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (itself described as a mole-like turtle at the time), but Rocky Wrenches have since been redesigned to resemble Monty Moles until the last wave of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.

-In ''Super Mario World'', Monty Moles first appear in the level [[Yoshi's Island 2]]. They burrow out of random spots in the ground or off of dirt walls to surprise [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Upon landing, some Monty Moles may simply run back and forth while occasionally hopping, only turning around when they hit a wall. Most other Monty Moles, however, will chase after Mario or Luigi persistently, turning around if they jump over them. Monty Moles can be defeated by any attack method. 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. 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>

-Monty Moles appear in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its Nintendo DS version]]. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically reside in the toxic maze, though they remain outside the [[smoke|strange toxic cloud]]. Monty Moles in this game act similarly to [[Rocky Wrench]]es, albeit throwing rocks instead of wrenches before disappearing underground. If Mario, [[Yoshi]], Luigi, or [[Wario]] can defeat a certain number of Monty Moles in the game, a 1-Up Mushroom appears for him to collect.
-The ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide also says that the Monty Moles in the Hazy Maze Cave are a Monty Mole family and the ones on Tall, Tall Mountain are considered their friends.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|date=1996|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[https://archive.org/details/SuperMario64OfficialPlayersGuide/page/n61/mode/2up?q=Mole 61] and [https://archive.org/details/SuperMario64OfficialPlayersGuide/page/n101/mode/2up?q=Mole page 101]}}</ref>

Additionally, deep in the [[Gritzy Caves]], two more Monty Moles run two more challenges that must be completed.
-In the original game, Monty Moles use their squinting design from ''Super Mario World'' but with an added pair of pronounced teeth, a black nose, and somewhat larger limbs. In the remake, they receive a redesign that consolidates the two designs from the ''Super Mario World'' artworks, with a small amount of influence from the ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'' designs. From their untraditional "sunglasses" artwork, they get the smooth, cheek-less head sides, white upper lip, and small nose; from the other ''Super Mario World'' artwork, they get the distinct squint; from the ''Super Mario 64'' design, they get the visible teeth, though the number is reduced to one; and from the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' design, they get the wideness of the upper lip. This design would become the standard design for later games, though there has been variation on the color of the lower lip, with brown appearing most consistently.

He appears in [[Pinna Park]] and [[Noki Bay]] at the helm of large, red, dome-shaped cannons, firing [[Bullet Bill]]s at Mario in the former, and [[Glorpedo]] down the cliffside in the latter. When Mario approaches the mole, he stops firing and tosses [[Bob-omb]]s at him. They can be disabled using [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], and tossing a Bob-omb at the mole three times defeats him. In this game, the Monty Mole has much lankier arms than usual, a more bright orange color, a smaller white patch, and a green hat. The contours of the eyes behind the squint are also visible if examined closely enough.
-At [[Pinna Park]], the Monty Mole is found in the [[mission|episode]], [[The Beach Cannon's Secret]], at the far end of the beach past the [[Great Sunflower]]. After Mario defeats him, he is able to jump into the cannon and access a secret course to get the [[Shine Sprite]]. A [[Pianta]] repairman from episode 1 replaces the Monty Mole from Episode 3 onward. In Noki Bay, the Monty Mole can be fought and defeated which rewards Mario with a [[Shine Sprite]].
+''Super Mario World'' featured regular Monty Moles that would pop out of random spots in the ground to surprise Mario. The game also featured [[Mega Mole|Mega Moles]], giant Monty Moles Mario could actually ride on to get across obstacles. Monty Moles can be Defeated by being eaten by [[Yoshi]].
-The manning of war machinery may be a throwback to [[Rocky Wrench]]es, who manned many of the machines in ''Super Mario Bros 3''. Parts of its design also resemble that of classic Rocky Wrenches, such as the long arms and color placement. This is also the first game to feature a Monty Mole boss.

-Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. The only level they appear in is [[World 5-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|5-4]], a cave level. This is their first appearance in a 3D game where they are found outside the ground and can run. They patrol the area and attack Mario if he gets in their way. They can be defeated with a single [[stomp]]. A new larger variant known as [[Morty Mole]]s appear, appearing in [[World 5-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-4]] and [[World 7-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|7-4]], and must be stomped twice to be defeated. A few of the cutscenes depicting Mario obtaining one of [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[letter]]s feature one or two Monty Moles in the background as Mario runs to quickly save her.

-Monty Moles once again appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They act the same as in previous games. They only appear in the levels [[Yoshi Hill]] and [[Magma-River Cruise]]. They also appear during [[Kamek|Magikoopa]]'s boss battle in [[Slide Lift Tower]]. Monty Moles are also featured in the [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Challenge Mode]] levels [[Mole to Goal]] and [[Mole to Goal Returns]], where the goal is to transport a Monty Mole to the [[Goal Pole]]. Monty Moles return in the ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' equivalents of their ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' levels, including [[Rolling Yoshi Hills]], [[Magmaw River Cruise]], and [[Stonecrush Tower]], once more a part of Magikoopa's boss battle in the latter.

-Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as enemies. They function the same as previous games. In the Course Maker, they are made by shaking a [[Rocky Wrench]]. They can be placed on or inside the ground (the latter of which will make them climb up and pop out if the player gets close). They can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] or given wings (the former will simply enlarge them and the latter will make them jump around while running, similar to a [[Paragoomba]]). They can be blocked from coming out of the ground by placing an object like a [[P Switch]] on top of where they will emerge. They can be placed in [[Block]]s, [[Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, and on tracks. They are also prominent in the event level [[Shaun's Mossy Mole Mischief]] and at the end of the level there is also a Monty Mole "mech" made out of blocks and cannons that must be defeated.
-====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
-Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as enemies, sharing the same behavior as in ''Super Mario Maker''. Unlike in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', Monty Moles are now completely separate from Rocky Wrenches. The course creator Mischievous Mole could possibly be a Monty Mole, as one of his courses has Monty Moles in it.
-====''Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.''====
-Although Monty Moles never appeared in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', they do appear in ''[[Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.]]'' in the clock on the hour of 7:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. where they repeatedly pop out of the ground and walk around before burrowing back into the ground. Mario occasionally jumps on the Monty Moles to defeat them. Their ''Super Mario World'' sprite is reused for this appearance.

-Monty Moles have appeared in many volumes of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', appearing in many different roles throughout. While they are occasionally antagonistic towards Mario and his friends, such as in volume 1, where Monty Moles attack Mario and Yoshi for trying to steal their coins, and in volume 5, where a group of Monty Mole farmers Mario and his friends. They fuse with [[Swoop]]s to gain an upper hand, but are defeated when they fall into lava.
-However, Monty Moles are also portrayed as friendly towards Mario, where as in volume 17 where Mario encounters a Monty Mole shopkeeper, and in volume 46, Mario, Luigi, and Toad stumble upon the「もぐらまつり」(''Mogura Matsuri'', Mole Festival), a festival filled with Monty Moles. They meet a female Monty Mole named [[Pūko]] who gives them a tour of the festival.

-===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
-Although [[Mega Mole]]s appear frequently in the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', Monty Moles only appear once as a cameo in one of the puzzles from ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'' when Mario is being chased by the Mega Moles in the cellar of the haunted mansion. The two Monty Moles seen in the puzzle have no effect to the story. They also reuse their ''Super Mario World'' artwork.
-===''NES Open Tournament Golf''===
-While Monty Moles do not appear within the actual gameplay of ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'', what seems to be one appears on the {{file link|NESOTG cover NA.jpg|cover}}.

-Monty Moles, though never called as such and always referred to as '''Gophers''', appeared in the episode "[[Gopher Bash]]" of the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]].
-In the episode, several Gophers acted as minions of [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]], aiding him in his plot to steal all the crops grown by the cave-people of [[Dome City]]. These Gophers are eventually defeated by Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]], who, after tracking Cheatsy down, sneak up on the moles, tie them up, and suspend them from the ceiling. The Gophers are then dropped on top of Cheatsy Koopa, pinning him to the ground. They also sing backup during [[List of Super Mario World songs#Cheatsy's Life|Cheatsy's Life]], a self-praising song; at no other point in the episode do they vocalize at all. This is also one of the few times Gophers are fully voice-acted.

-Monty Moles (referred to as Gophers in the instruction booklet)<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Kart'' instruction booklet|page=27|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', in [[SNES Donut Plains 2|Donut Plains 2]] and [[SNES Donut Plains 3|Donut Plains 3]]. If a racer runs into one, it will attach itself to the player, which causes them to slow down and drop coins. The player must hop repeatedly in order to knock them away. Uniquely, in Donut Plains 3, some Gophers can be seen jumping out of the lake; likewise, some are seen in the grass in Donut Plains 2.

-{{br}}
-====''Mario Kart Wii''====
-In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', they appear as obstacles in [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]] as well as {{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}} and also appear as audience members in other courses. They now appear much bigger, as well as digging under the ground before jumping out. However, they are stationary obstacles in {{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}} like in previous games. They originally had their model from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''New Super Mario Bros.'', as well as a different jumping animation for a placeholder before being completely reworked in the final game.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_Wii/Unused_Course_Objects|title=''Mario Kart Wii''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=May 24, 2024}}</ref>

-{{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}} and {{classic-link|Wii|Moo Moo Meadows}} return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', bringing along the Monty Moles with them. They now dig around for some time before popping up, leaving trails like in ''Mario Kart Wii''. The trails that the Monty Moles leave can now also be used to perform [[trick]]s. This changes the gameplay of {{classic|SNES|Donut Plains 3}} from the original version in ''Super Mario Kart'' where they would attach themselves to drivers who drove into them. In said track, the Monty Moles in the lake are replaced by [[Cheep Cheep]]s, and there are signs with a picture of a Monty Mole on them placed by the Monty Mole area. In [[Animal Crossing]] from the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' x ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC Pack, [[Mr. Resetti]] replaces Monty Moles to suit the ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' theme. They also appear in {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''.

-[[File:MKT Monty Moles Donut Plains 2.png|thumb|220px|Monty Mole driving by its course obstacle counterpart in [[SNES Donut Plains 2]].]]
-Monty Mole makes his official playable debut in the ''Mario Kart'' series in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' available from May 6, 2020 in the [[Flower Tour]]. He is classified as a tour-exclusive Super character (the first Super character with this distinction) and his [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] is the [[Mushroom Cannon]]. Starting with the [[Wild West Tour]], Monty Mole became a regular Super character while also gaining a [[Monty Mole Cup|self-named cup]]. Monty Moles also appear as obstacles in [[SNES Donut Plains 2]], [[SNES Donut Plains 3]], [[GBA Sunset Wilds|GBA Sunset Wilds R/T]], and [[Amsterdam Drift]] (barring the T variant), where they behave the same as in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', allowing racers to perform a Jump Boost off their trails and holes.
-===''Mario is Missing!''===
-[[File:Monty Mole MIMCD.png|frame|left]]
-A Monty Mole appears in the ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' version of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'' as a [[Curator]], replacing the human ones from the DOS version. Luigi can call it on occasion when he recovers an artifact to answer all of its questions about a landmark and return the artifact.

-===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
-In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', Monty Moles (referred to as '''Chubbies''' in the cast credits) appear in the Modern version of ''[[Manhole (Game & Watch)|Manhole]]'', popping up on occasion to throw a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] at Yoshi. In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'', Monty Moles appear in the Modern version of a different [[Game & Watch]] game, ''[[Vermin]]'', where they appear when the player earns 200, 500, and 700 [[point]]s, throwing a heart at Yoshi just like in the previous game.
-===''Mario Golf'' series===
-{{quote|Piece of advice. If you're always goin' for full power, your accuracy might drop.|Monty Mole|Mario Golf: Super Rush}}
-In ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], a Monty Mole, using its ''Super Mario 64'' design, may pop out of the hole if the player successfully putts the ball into the [[hole]] from a long distance and scores under par. Additionally, the name "Monty Mole" may also appear on the scoreboard, which similarly occurs on the tournament board in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' as well as the Bonny Greens Open scoreboard in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''.
-In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', a Monty Mole appears in [[Links Course|Links Club Practice Center]], similarly maintaining its ''Mario Golf'' design. The player must shoot three shots at it to earn a Super Drink.
-In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', many Monty Moles appear in the [[Castle Club]] mode as non-playable characters. ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'' also includes Monty Moles in the form of NPCs, mostly appearing in [[Bonny Greens]], though a singular Monty Mole also appears in [[Ridgerock Lake]].
-===''Paper Mario'' series===
+During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Monty Moles appeared at [[Mt. Rugged]]. They attacked by throwing rocks at Mario. If Monty Mole successfully hurts Mario outside battle, the enemy will make the [[First Strike]] thus hurting Mario unless he blocks the attack from reducing. In one of the walls of the mountain, there is a Monty Mole-shaped hole, through which an endless stream of moles can pop out. There was also a stronger, green variety of Monty Mole found in [[Flower Fields]]. However, these stronger moles were still named Monty Moles. When they are defeated, they occasionally drop a [[Honey Syrup]].
-====''Paper Mario''====
-During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Monty Moles appear at [[Mt. Rugged]], where they either pop halfway out of the ground and throw rocks at Mario, or pop all the way out and chase him. In battle, they are always found halfway underground and attack Mario by throwing rocks at him. In one of the walls of the mountain, there is a Monty Mole-shaped hole, through which an endless stream of moles can pop out. Stronger, [[Monty Mole (green)|green Monty Moles]] can also be found in [[Flower Fields]]. They are also known as "Monty Moles"; however, the Japanese version of the game gave them a different name from the regular Monty Moles.
-====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
+=== ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' ===
-Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', they act as NPCs rather than enemies, and their modern design is used. One Monty Mole appears on [[Overlook Mountain]] running an auction for a [[Shell Stone]], starting with 10,000 coins and can be lowered to 300 coins before the Koopa Troopas attending the auction buy it. Lots of other Monty Moles appear in [[Breezy Tunnel]].
-Origami Monty Moles appear in concept art, implying that they would have appeared as enemies, though none appear in the final game.
+[[Image:MMSS.jpg|thumb|right|A Monty Mole, as depicted in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
-{{br}}
-===''Mario Party'' series===
+Two Monty Moles (or they could be the same mole) appear twice in ''Super Mario Sunshine'': once in [[Pinna Park]] and the other time in [[Noki Bay]]. The Pinna Park Mole was found in a [[Cannon]] to the far right of the stage, harassing the [[Great Sunflower]] and her subjects. After Mario defeated it, he could jump into the cannon and attempt a secret course and a [[Pianta]] repairman would later replace the Monty Mole. In Noki Bay, the Monty Mole is at first blamed for the bay's pollution, as it's cannon rests on a stopper that is obstructing the bay's waterfall. Once Mario climbs to the top of the waterfall and defeats the Monty Mole, he will be rewarded with a shine, although the Monty Mole was later revealed to not be fully responsible for the bay's pollution (the blame actually fell on [[Eely Mouth]]).
-====''Mario Party 3''====
+Both Mole's attack patterns are basically the same. When Mario is afar, they attack him by firing [[Bullet Bills]] and [[Missile Bill|Missle Bills]] out of their cannons. When Mario nears the cannon itself, the Moles will throw [[Bob-ombs]] from inside it. The only way to damage them is to stun a Bob-omb with [[F.L.U.D.D]] and then throw them at the Monty Mole while it's head is out of the cannon. Three throws, and the Monty Mole will be defeated.
-[[File:MontyMoleMarioParty3.png|thumb|120px|A Monty Mole in ''Mario Party 3'']]
-Monty Moles appear in [[Woody Woods]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. They switch the direction players can move on certain pathways every turn. These Monty Moles wear sunglasses and can be found in Army hut-like structures with a flag depicting one's face. For 5 coins, the Monty Mole will switch the signs from one direction to another. They can appear out of any of three holes scattered across the board, depending on where it is summoned via speaking to it in its hut or landing on a Happening Space. They also appear in [[Storm Chasers]] as obstacles the player must avoid.
-====''Mario Party 5''====
+=== ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' ===
-In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Monty Moles appear in the minigame [[Flatiator]]. They appear out of the ground to obstruct the team players while avoiding the single player. The one player on the ball can simply roll over them. One also appears in [[Pirate Dream]] hosting a board event where the player can mine for coins. Most games around this era starting from this game use the ''Super Mario World'' design, though with more saturated colors and orange fur.
-====''Mario Party 6''====
+Monty Moles are actually portrayed as friendly creatures in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', where they can be found in well hidden locations throughout the game. If Mario or Luigi reached a Monty Mole's chamber, it would give them a prize of some sort, such as clothing, items or badges. The Monty Moles of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' are golden in color, they also wore red bow ties.
-In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Monty Moles are in the minigame [[Mole-it!]], where the players earn points by hitting them when they pop out of the pipes. During the day, the pipes are on the ceiling, and at night, they are on the ground. Hitting a normal Monty Mole earns a team one point, and a Golden Monty Mole gives the team three. They also appear in the [[Star Sprint]] level [[Meadow Road]] as obstacles the player can avoid but can also be defeated by dashing into them. Monty Moles also appear in the [[Miracle Book]] in the "Poppin' Out of the Pipe" and "Bountiful Harvest" sections, respectively based on Mole-it! and [[Garden Grab]], despite never appearing in the latter. Additionally, in Decathlon Park, a Monty Mole holds a sign depicting the next mini-game.

-{{quote|Go to it! And have fun, you dig?|Monty Mole|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
-Monty Mole appears as a character in the [[town area]] of [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He has a habit of making dirt-related puns, such as using the phrase "down-to-earth" on multiple occasions. According to his description, he loves to play games, but he dislikes losing his money in the process. When he is first encountered, he happily states that the [[Town Game Room A]] has much more to win than the [[Town Game Room B]], but quickly asks for the player's help afterwards. If they agree to help, he explains that he has fallen into a slump after playing the games for a while, and hopes that having the player win the game will end their slump. In exchange, they get to keep the minigame he keeps losing at, [[Scratch 'Em]]. Once they have won, Monty Mole is confident that his slump is over, thanks to the player's victory, and says that they might even outgame the [[Kamek|Game Mage]]. The ending of the game states that he stopped gaming and got married.
-====''Mario Party 7''====
+In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', Monty Moles appear as somewhat uncommon enemies, attacking [[Yoshi]] in a manner similar to their attack pattern from ''Super Mario World''; leaping from the ground or by charging at Yoshi. Here, Monty Moles could be defeated by either jumping on them, throwing an [[egg]] at them or by encasing them in a circle with the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Stylus.
-[[File:MontysRevenge.png|thumb|left|Monty's Revenge of ''Mario Party 7'' is one of many minigames in the ''Mario Party'' series focused on Monty Moles]]
-In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', a Monty Mole appears on the board [[Pyramid Park]]. He appears when the player lands on the [[Event Space|Green Space]] on the far right of the board, next to three pots. He offers the player a minigame where the player hits cobras. During it, the Monty Mole pops out of the jars and the minigame ends if the player hits him. In the minigame [[Sphere Factor]], three or four of them pop out of the ground towards the end (before the bridge) and try to prevent the player from rolling the huge ball to the finish line. Three Monty Moles also appear in the minigame [[Monty's Revenge]], where they are the ones whacking the players with hammers. This is the first game in the series where they use their modern design, although a unused model suggests that they were going to originally use the design from the previous games. However, it has no textures and was likely replaced with the modern design.<ref>[[tcrf:Mario Party 7#w03.bin 2|''Mario Party 7'' § w03.bin]]</ref>

-====''Mario Party 8''====
+=== ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' ===

-====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
+=== ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' ===
-Monty Moles make various minor appearances in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. In both [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]], they can possibly appear as one of the options to choose from.

+Monty Moles is a sidekick in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. They are Power Players, which means they are good at shooting and tackling, but cannot pass very well. Their [[Skillshot]] is [[Dirt Drill]], where they go underground with the ball, dig towards the goal, and pop up near the [[Kritter|Goalie]], and shove him aside, shoving the ball into the goal. Sometimes, the Goalie will block Monty Mole, shove Monty Mole into an Electric Fence, and the move will fail. This happens to be their second playable appearance in a sports title.
-====''Mario Party 10''====
+=== ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' ===
-Although normal Monty Moles do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', an enlarged Monty Mole known as [[Mega Monty Mole]] appears as the mid-boss of [[Airship Central]]. He appears in the minigame [[Mega Monty Mole's Maze Mischief]].

+Monty Mole makes another party appearance in Mario Party 7. On the board [[Pyramid Park]], he appears when the player lands on the [[? Space]] on the far right of the board, next to three pots. He offers to play a game of Whack-the-snake-and-not-the-mole. In the minigame [[Sphere Factor]], three or four of them pop out of the ground towards the end (before the bridge) and try to prevent the player from rolling the huge ball to the finish line. Monty Moles also appear in the minigame [[Monty's Revenge]], where they are the one whacking the players with hammers.
-[[File:Monty Mole Super Mario Party.jpg|thumb|200px|''Super Mario Party'' is the first ''Mario Party'' game where a Monty Mole is playable.]]
-{{quote|This could be fun. Sure, I'm in!|Monty Mole|Super Mario Party}}
-Monty Mole appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' for the first time in the ''Mario Party'' series, though it is Monty Mole's fourth time being playable in any ''Super Mario'' game. As shown in the introductory scene, [[Bowser]] calls upon Monty Mole, [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Goomba]], [[Boo]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Dry Bones]], [[Hammer Bro]], and [[Pom Pom]] to participate in the party to be crowned the Super Star. Monty Mole's [[Dice Block]] has a +1 coin side instead of a 1; otherwise, it is functionally identical to the normal Dice Block.
-Fake Monty Moles also appear in the minigame [[Rhythm and Bruise]], where the player's objective is to whack them with hammers to the beat of the music. If the player uses Monty Mole for that minigame, he will start sweating and display a nervous expression.
+===''[[Mario Party 8]]''===
+[[Image:MP8_Crops'n'Robbers.JPG|right|thumb|The mini-game, '''Crops 'n' Robbers''' from ''Mario Party 8''.]]
+Monty Moles appear again in a Mario Party game. This time a bunch of Montys appear in the minigame [[Crops 'n' Robbers]] where one player has to whack montys that are in the holes, so the players can gainway. The other player has to collect the carrots to win the game.
-Monty Moles make a few cameos in the game. In [[Absent Minded]], Monty Mole is a possible guess, but only if nobody is playing as Monty Mole. In [[Puzzle Hustle]], Monty Mole can appear as one of the puzzles, in their ''Super Mario World'' sprite form. Outside of minigames, Monty Moles can occasionally be seen walking or running around in the background of Party Plaza.
+===''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''===
+[[Image:Monty.jpg|thumb|left|Major Burrows fighting [[Mario]] in [[Super Mario Galaxy]].]]
+Monty Moles with eyes open and seeming angry can be encountered in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]. In the same galaxy, A huge Monty Mole called [[Major Burrows]] appears as a boss that the player will need to face. He wears a large [[Spiny Shell]]-like helmet on his head to prevent the player from jumping on him. There are also three other Monty Mole Bosses called [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s, which are similar to the tank moles in [[New Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Super Mario Sunshine]]. Undergrunt Gunners are blue, but turn red and mad out of anger when it is 2 times hit, and has only 1 life. They seem to panic if Mario is above their machine.
-====''Mario Party Superstars''====
+==Spin-off Information==
-Monty Moles appear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' as part of [[Woody Woods]], retaining their role from ''Mario Party 3'', although the Monty Mole huts have been replaced with burrows that serve the same function; additionally, it is shown that there are multiple ones. Additionally, a Monty Mole decides which player they think would win during the last five turns of Woody Woods. Monty Moles also reprise their roles in [[Storm Chasers]] and [[Monty's Revenge]]. A Monty Mole sticker that has a caption saying "Nice!" can be used as a taunt. The encyclopedia entry for Monty Mole states that they appeared in every ''Mario Party'' after ''Mario Party 3'', despite not appearing in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. ''Mario Party 10'' is also listed, despite only having Mega Monty Mole.

-===''Mario Pinball Land''===
+[[Image: GopherBash.jpg|thumb|right|Several Monty Moles, pinning [[Cheatsy Koopa]] to the ground in the ''Super Mario World'' episode "Gopher Bash".]]
-Monty Moles (sometimes referred to as '''1-up Moles''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' issue 185|date=November 2004|page=116|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> appear in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. They can be found in every level except [[the Fun Fair]], peeking out from one of their holes. If Mario hits a Monty Mole, he gains 500 [[point]]s and the Monty Mole is stunned briefly before moving to another position. The Monty Mole eventually goes back to its previous position if it is not hit after a while. If Mario hits the Monty Mole in all of its positions, it drops a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] and is at a point where it no longer can be hurt. Due to their behavior, Monty Moles can be defeated only with an [[Super Star|Invincibility Star]]. Each level also has a unique costume that Monty Moles can be seen wearing. The [[Grassy Greens Stage]] has normal Monty Moles; in the [[Frosty Frontier Stage]], they wear snow hoodies; in the [[Shifting Sands Stage]], they wear fezzes; and in the [[Fiery Stage]], they wear helmets.
-===''Mario Tennis'' series===
+=== Cartoons ===
-====''Mario Power Tennis''====
-In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', a few Monty Moles can be seen among the crowd in the opening watching [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] be chased by the [[police]], and also in the crowd when Wario, Waluigi and [[Bowser]] attempt to destroy the stadium. Monty Moles also appear in the [[Chain-Chomp Challenge]] minigame, where they man cannons identical to the ones in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The moles themselves, however, use the revamped ''Super Mario World'' design seen in previous [[Nintendo GameCube]] games. They shoot tennis balls and [[Bomb (object)|bomb]]s at the players to hit back at the [[Chain Chomp]]s.
-====''Mario Tennis Aces''====
+Monty Moles, though never called as such and always referred to as '''Gophers''', appeared in the episode "[[Gopher Bash]]" of the [[Super Mario World (TV series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]].
-Monty Moles make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' in the background of [[Bask Ruins]]. They can be seen jumping out of their holes.
-===''Mario Baseball'' series===
+In the episode, several Monty Moles acted as minions of [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]], aiding him in his plot to steal all the crops grown by the cave-people of [[Dome City]]. These Monty Moles are eventually defeated by Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]], who, after tracking Cheatsy down, sneak up on the moles, tie them up, and suspend them from the ceiling. The Monty Moles are then dropped on top of Cheatsy Koopa, pinning him to the ground.
-====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
-[[File:MSBMonty.png|thumb|''Mario Superstar Baseball'' is the first game where a Monty Mole is playable]]
-Monty Mole also appears in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' as an unlockable character for the first time. Monty Mole is unlocked by completing challenge mode with Mario's team. It is a member of Mario's team. It has the ball dash ability, which allows it to run extremely fast while in possession of the baseball. It is a Speedy character with fast running, weak batting and pitching and average fielding. While the playable Monty Mole uses the design from ''Super Mario 64 DS'', in the crowd there are Monty Moles with their model from ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Mario Party 6''. Monty Mole's description in this game reveals that the holes they jump out of are their dens.
-{{br}}
-====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
+=== Comics ===
-{{quote|Great granite gumdrops! I was in the middle of a spectacular nap! Why'd you have to wake me?|Monty Mole|Mario Super Sluggers}}
-[[File:MSS Spectators.png|thumb|left|Monty Moles watching the game in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' opening.]]
-In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Monty Mole maintains its position as a member of Mario's team. While its best stat continues to be speed, its other stats are slightly below average. Monty Mole has good chemistry with [[Shy Guy]], [[Goomba]], and [[Paragoomba]], and does not have any bad chemistry with any other character. In the story mode of the game, Monty Mole can be found buried in the sand. If Peach wakes it up, it asks why the player did it, claiming that they are no match for [[Bowser Jr.]] and his minions, and challenges them to a baseball mission. If the player passes the mission, Monty Mole will happily join the team. Monty Moles also appear in many of the cutscenes either being in the crowd or cheering Mario.
-{{br}}
-===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
+In the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, several Monty Moles are sent by [[Bowser]] to attack [[Princess Peach's Castle|Princess Toadstool's Castle]]; these Monty Moles, along with the rest of the monsters sent by Bowser, are defeated by Mario and Luigi.
-In ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', Monty Moles appear as somewhat uncommon enemies, attacking [[Yoshi]] in a manner similar to their attack pattern from ''Super Mario World''; leaping from the ground or by charging at Yoshi. Here, Monty Moles could be defeated by either jumping on them, throwing an [[egg]] at them or by encasing them in a circle with the [[Nintendo DS]]'s stylus.
-===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
+Later in the comic, a Monty Mole, wearing a blue tuxedo, is seen among the attendees in Bowser's wedding to a brainwashed Princess Toadstool.
-====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
-[[File:Monty Mole - MaLPiT.png|frame]]
-Monty Moles appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. One is encountered in the [[Gritzy Desert]], and will prevent the four Mario Bros. of past and present from progressing unless they can complete his challenge. Two more are seen in the beginning of [[Gritzy Caves]] and they both run an [[Item Shop]] called the [[Monty Mart]]. Additionally, two more Monty Moles in Gritzy Caves run two more challenges that must be completed as well.
-====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
+== Trivia ==
-[[File:BiS Monty Mole.png|frame]]
-A group of five Monty Moles, called the [[Monty Bros.]], appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they utilize a giant drilling machine to fulfill Bowser's orders and dig a tunnel below [[Toad Town]]. They do not make much progress however, so Bowser has to finish their duties.
-The Monty Bros. later reappear in the [[Treasure Chamber]] in [[Bowser's Castle]], betraying Bowser and claim that [[Fawful]] bribed them and ordered them to get rid of Bowser. They attack Bowser in a giant train called the [[Fawful Express]], in which Bowser must defeat them in his giant form. If he succeeds, the falling chunks of the debris from the train will defeat the Monty Bros. However, they escape in the remake, alongside other unseen Monty Moles.
+* The [[Mukumuku]]s of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' possess an attack pattern similar to the Monty Moles of ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario 64'', popping out of the ground and throwing objects; Mukumukus also have a slight resemblance to Monty Moles.
+* Monty Moles are commonly associated with speed (though in Mario Strikers Charged they were in the slow catagory); not only can Monty Mole perform the ball dash in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', but also most Monty Moles in ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'' run speed-related obstacles. These constant references to fast Monty Moles may be throwbacks to ''Super Mario World'', where Monty Moles could move at fast (but slippery) speeds.
+* The boxart of the game ''[[Mario Golf (series)#NES Open Tournament Golf (NES)|NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' depicts what resembles a Monty Mole, though much smaller in size.
+* A Mario Party Advance - style Monty Mole is seen briefly in the opening video of [[Mario Power Tennis]] (under the stairwell while the police are chasing Wario and Waluigi) although he is wearing white shoes.
-Fawful-themed Monty Mole enemies called [[Mawful Mole]]s and [[Metal Mawful Mole]]s can be also be found in this game.
-====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
-[[File:M&LDT Monty Mole.png|frame]]
-Monty Moles also make an enemy appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Here, they act as support enemies for [[Bowser Jr.]] during his battle at the end of the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]]'s Battle Medley, repairing the [[Junior Clown Car]] after it explodes. If they get hit by a [[Taunt Ball]], they take longer to repair his Clown Car.
-====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
-[[File:MLPJMontyMole.png|frame]]
-Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as an enemy. They battle in holes that were dug out of the ground, while also having a similar attack pattern as [[Mawful Mole]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Unlike Mawful Moles, they can sometimes throw [[Golden Egg]]s instead of rocks. They are encountered normally in [[Sunbeam Plains]] and later the haunted area of [[Gloomy Woods]]. They additionally appear in a few missions, such as [[Fly Guy Flyby]] as enemies to avoid, as well as in a few questions of some of the quiz missions like [[Toad Trivia]] and [[Toad Brain]]. They can also appear in one of the attacks from the [[Wiggler]] boss fight, in which [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] has to hit several Monty Moles and [[Paper Spear Guy]]s on his way while being chased by Wiggler.
-===''Dr. Mario-kun''===
-[[File:Monty Mole Dr. Mario-kun.png|125px|thumb|left|The Monty Mole in episode 39 of ''Dr. Mario-kun'']]
-A Monty Mole appears as a recurring character in ''[[Dr. Mario-kun]]''.
-In episode 39, the Monty Mole shovels through the ground to tell [[Dr. Mario]] that Luigi and Yoshi caught a drill virus. After capturing the drill viruses, they help Mario and his friends escape the volcano. At one point in the episode, [[Wario]], [[Bowser Jr.]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]] all wear Monty Mole costumes.
-In episode 52, they can be seen eating the floor after eating the food that [[Waluigi]] made.
-In episode 59, they can be seen on the final page waving in the distance.
-===''Mario Strikers Charged''===
-[[File:Monty Mole Bowser Jr MSC.jpg|thumb|150px|Monty Moles are sidekicks in ''Mario Strikers Charged'']]
-Monty Moles are a sidekick in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. They are Power Players, which means they are good at shooting and tackling, but cannot pass very well. Their [[Skillshot]] is [[Dirt Drill]], where they go underground with the ball, dig towards the goal, and pop up near the [[Kritter|goalie]], and shove him aside, shoving the ball into the goal. However, if the move is too close, Kritter will shove his hand into the ground and pull Monty Mole out, thereby blocking the shot. If the move is too far away, Kritter will simply catch the ball. This happens to be their second playable appearance in a sports title. In this game, they have headlights, something that is never seen in any other game they appear in. The prominent tooth also atypically appears as a pair of teeth. Monty Moles are also shown to have black dot eyes when shocked. Monty Moles also appear in the crowds in the opening, using their design from early [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games.
-===''Mario Sports Mix''===
-In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', a single Monty Mole can be seen as a spectator, cheering on the players when they play at [[Western Junction]].
-===''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''===
-Monty Moles appear in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' as obstacles in [[Dream Equestrian]] popping in and out of their holes (like in ''Mario Kart Wii'', even reusing sound clips from that game). If the wagon accidentally hits one of the holes, a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]] will drop.
-===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
-[[File:WoollyMontyMoleHQ.png|thumb|A Monty Mole in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
-Monty Moles appear as an enemy in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|Nintendo 3DS version]]. They either burrow around underground (usually under carpets) or they can pop out of the wall, Yoshi can defeat them with a Yarn Ball, stomping on them, or eating them. If eaten, they turn into orange [[yarn ball]]s. There is also a boss called [[Big Montgomery]], which is a bigger Monty Mole that appears as the mid-boss of Worlds 1, 3, and 5. [[Monty Mole Patch]]es are also found and are crocheted Monty Moles that, when unraveled, will start chasing the player like a normal mole. In the [[Scrapbook Theater]], a normal Monty Mole pops out of a scarf roll and runs around the stage.
-===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
-Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' as enemies. They act the same as in previous games, and appear in [[Origami Gardens]]' levels [[Spring Sprung Trail]] and [[Monty-Mole-B-Gone]], the latter of which requires Yoshi to defeat many of them for the highest number of [[Smiley Flower]]s. Their larger counterparts also make their debut in the ''Yoshi'' series. If struck by an egg once, their bodies turn red. Both sizes of Monty Moles also appear on the flip side of the levels [[Haunted Maker Mansion]], [[Jumping to Victory]], and [[The Countdown Begins]]. Some Monty Moles also appear as circus spectator crafts in [[Hoop-Jump Hop]].
-===''Dr. Mario World''===
-[[File:DMW-MontyMole.png|thumb|A Monty Mole from ''Dr. Mario World'']]
-Monty Moles appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. Their Stage Mode skill grants a chance five coins are rewarded upon clearing a stage regardless of whether the stage is cleared or uncleared, in which the chance of earning them is greater at higher levels. This effect does not activate upon clearing special stages or the Daily Booster. Their versus mode effect is to grant a chance that the attack meter will fill extra if a virus is eliminated. Contrary to the game's description which indicated that it can occur repeatedly, it only activates at the start of the match and the effect will last throughout the match if it does, and has a higher chance to do so at higher levels. When this effect activates, any elimination made either through a capsule match, elimination through skill, or elimination through other objects like shells will fill the attack meter by an extra point for each elimination made. Contrary to the game's description, viruses are not required to be eliminated to gain extra attack points. This effect stacks with [[Sledge Bro]]'s effect, meaning that if both activate, two points will be filled in the attack meter for every elimination made.
-Monty Moles also appear in the background of [[World 6 (Dr. Mario World)|World 6]] when the area is cleared.
-===LEGO ''Super Mario''===
-Monty Moles appear in [[LEGO Super Mario|LEGO ''Super Mario'']] as part of the Monty Mole & Super Mushroom and Desert Pokey sets.
-===Other appearances===
-Monty Moles appear in ''[[Nintendo Badge Arcade]]'' as part of the ''Super Mario Maker'' arcade using their ''Super Mario World'' style sprites, as well as in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' arcade using their sprites in that game style from ''Super Mario Maker''.
-===Unused appearances===
-====''Dr. Mario 64''====
-Monty Moles may have been planned to be playable in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' since their name can be seen in the game files. However, they are not seen in the final game at all or have any known graphics.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Dr._Mario_64|title=''Dr. Mario 64''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=July 4, 2024}}</ref>

-=====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''=====
-[[File:PMTTYDNS concept art characters 10.png|thumb|Concept art of ''The Thousand-Year Door'' characters, featuring a mole-based iteration of the [[Pianta Syndicate]]]]
-Monty Moles were originally intended to appear as [[Rogueport]] criminals in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', being led by a [[Mega Mole]]. The design of both is based on Mega Mole's ''[[Super Mario World]]'' artwork, with a black suit and fedora; as such, they have a pointy brown nose and pointed sunglasses, unlike in the first ''Paper Mario''. They are replaced with [[Don Pianta]]'s [[Pianta Syndicate]] in the final game.
-=====''Super Paper Mario''=====
-[[File:Monty Mole body SPM unused.png|thumb|left|160px|Unused sprite of a Monty Mole in ''Super Paper Mario'']]
-Monty Moles were going to appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', but were taken out. Similar to their behavior in the overworld of the first ''Paper Mario'', they would have attacked Mario by popping out of holes in the wall (like in ''Super Mario World'') and throwing rocks (like in ''Super Mario 64''). The graphics use a higher-resolution version of their ''Paper Mario'' design. Despite being unused, a [[Sammer Guy]] named [[Monty Who Waits]] is named after Monty Moles.
-=====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''=====
-[[File:Papermario3dsmole.png|200px|thumb|''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' pre-release screenshot featuring the King Choropu boss.]]
