Editing Monty Mole

Although Monty Moles are absent as regular enemies, [[Monty Tank]], depicted as a Monty Mole operating a [[tank]], is the boss of {{world link|6|castlen|World 6-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}} in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' The tank fires [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. Mario or Luigi can defeat it by either [[stomp]]ing the Monty Mole's head three times when he comes out to throw a Bob-omb or by hitting him with [[fireball]]s. When jumped on, the tank will spin around and shoot many Bullet Bills and gain another turret.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Monty Moles only appear in [[World 6-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-4]]. Here, they retain their attack method from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Once Mario and crew get near a Monty Mole's hiding spot, it will jump out of the wall and will try to charge into them. [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] can also turn platforms into Monty Moles during his fight with Mario in {{world link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}.

Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as enemies. As they did not appear until ''Super Mario World'', they were given new sprites for the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' game styles. They function mostly the same as previous games, though unlike in ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', they cannot be made to come out of [[Semisolid Platform]]s. 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.

{{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]]''.
