==(First topic)==
Are the moles in Moleville Monty Moles, or just plain old Molepeople?  I wasn't sure if I should add them here or they merit their own article [[User:Almighty Rajah|Almighty Rajah]] 14:40, 2 August 2006 (EDT)
:They are a seperate people. Perhaps [[Mole folk]] could be used as a good article title... -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]


Just to clarify, those weren't Monty Moles that handed out prizes.  They were referred to with another name, but I can't remember it offhand.  At any rate, it's probably not a Monty Mole, because very few enemies in the Mushroom Kingdom appear at all in the Beanbean Kingdom . . . Bob-omb is the only one I can remember.

== Super Paper Mario ==

Did they really not appear in Super Paper Mario? Or haven't they simply not been added yet?
I'm asking because there are sprites of Monty Mole in the game: http://www.spriters-resource.com/other_systems/superpapermario/sheet/26974
It could be added as trivia if you think it's not worth being in the article.
--[[User:Nelde|Nelde]] 14:48, 17 January 2011 (EST)
:It appears so. I think those sprites might be fake. The body style of Monty is very different than in other artwork of him that is confirmed official. {{User:Bowser's luma/sig}}
::I have no doubt that they are real. I also found them in RetrieverII's directory: http://www.hocuspocus.taloncrossing.com/rii/pm3/Unused/ He ripped those textures straight from the game's data. I think it's more plausible that the different body style you mentioned comes from the fact that they didn't make it into the final game, although for me they don't look very different... --[[User:Nelde|Nelde]] 16:00, 17 January 2011 (EST)
:::Then it probably was removed and it should be mentioned that Monty appeared in the beta version but was removed. {{User:Bowser's luma/sig}}

== Paper Mario ==
According to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlL85q7r7iQ this video], the palette-swapped Monty Moles in Flower Fields are called Flower Choropū in the Japanese version. That should probably be mentioned here. --[[User:Kahran042|Kahran042]] 07:37, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

I would agree with you, but I can't read Japanese. Perhaps someone else who can read Japanese can confirm this? If you feel this is an accurate translation, you can add it to the article.--{{User|Knife}} 11:19, 4 July 2011 (EDT)

== Copied from Wikipedia ==

I notced that the very first paragraph is copied from Wikipedia. Here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurring_enemies_in_the_Mario_series#Monty_Mole

I attempted to change the text so that it would not appear to be so similar, but that seems to have been undone. So... here is the text I propose. Anyone care to change what we have to something like I've written?

''Monty Moles''' (also known as '''Gophers''' in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' TV series]]) are moles that appear in several [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] games; first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and then in later titles like ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In each game their attacks will vary. In earlier games they pop up out of gopher holes and chase the player. In later games they pop up and throw rocks before burrowing back into their holes, like a coward.
 		 		
Monty Moles have been given major roles, for instance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' they acted as bosses. Two of them can be encountered, both using a cannon to attack Mario with [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. As such, Monty Moles appear to be technologically savvy.

:It isn't copied from wikipedia, and your edit was reverted because it didn't improve the grammar much, if any, and removed a good deal of content that belonged at the top of the article. The article is fine as it is. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}

==Split the Monty Mole variant in [[Flower Fields]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' from Monty Mole==
{{settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|7-0|split}} 
I created this proposal due to [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=17977.0 a thread] on the forum. I recommend checking the thread out first before reading this proposal.

There are multiple reasons why I want to split the Monty Moles that appear in Flower Fields from this article. First off, the Monty Moles in Flower Fields have a different appearance then the Monty Moles in [[Mt. Rugged]], as well as different stats and different tattles. Secondly, in Japan, Paper Mario's country of origin, they have different names, indicating that they are supposed to be different characters. Third, this has been done before at least once. [[Dry Bones (Teehee Valley)]] was created since it had a difference appearance and different stats than the other [[Dry Bones]] in [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]], as well as a different name in Japan. I think [[Piranha Plant (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)]] is also an example, but I'm still confused. Yes, there were the failed proposals to split the color variants of [[Klobber]] and [[Krochead]], but the only difference was appearance and actions. Since Paper Mario is an RPG rather than a side-scroller, we have more to work with, like stats and the enemy description (or Tattle, as it's called in the game). Yes, there are other RPG enemies that have variants but are not split, like the two [[Chuck Guy]]s in Superstar Saga, but I think that's due to nobody bothering to make a proposal. Now that I've rambled, let me set down the choices: Split the Flower Fields Monty Mole, or do nothing.

'''Proposer''': {{User|GreenDisaster}}<br>
'''Deadline''': August 1, 2012, 23:59 GMT

===Split===
#{{User|GreenDisaster}} Per proposal.

===Do Nothing===

===Comments===
Just for the record, yes, [[Piranha Plant (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)]] ''is'' another example of the "whatever language makes the most sense is the ones we use" approach to splits and merges. It got its own page because its Japanese name is unique (''Killer Pakkun'', rather than ''Pakkun Furawā''), letting us act on the other unique aspects (unusually strong, very specific location). [[Pale Piranha]] is the opposite: it had the same ''Pakkun Furawā'' Japanese name, however its unique English name let us keep it split to reflect the fact that it doesn't look anything like a normal Piranha Plant. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 16:56, 18 July 2012 (EDT)

:::::The questions we still need to answer are:
::::::-Should we call these "Mole (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)" or "Presenter?"
::::::-Should we include the remake info, since they now resemble regular ones?
::::::-For that matter, should we take the difference in appearance into account at all, given this is the hideously off-model ''Superstar Saga'' we're talking about?
:::::[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]])
:::::::* From what we've seen in the case of ''Batton'' and ''Nokottasu'', the English names are pretty much placeholder names, and by the looks of it, in this case they are not capitalized. This means that we are not forced to use them as they are not meant to name the subject, just state what animal they resemble. We can of course still use them, but [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Make an exception to source priority for articles with identical names|using ''Presenter'' from a lower priority source would be fine as well]]. [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Monty_Mole&type=revision&diff=2625830&oldid=2618799 The original proposed idea] is to use Presenter, since this is just a discussion and not a proposal, if a page is made you can start a discussion in the talk page or even immediately create a proposal to use ''mole'' if you prefer said name.
:::::::* Unlike in the case of Turtles/Nokottasu the moles of the remake still have the red bowtie as distinguishing trait, so I see no issue in including them in the page if it is created.
:::::::* In terms of inferring the intentions of the designers (making a unique species versus just making off-model Monty Moles), I don't think we can really do that with the material we have, it's something the developers must tell us, considering how we are missing internal names of the remake as well; until more information surfaces we should limit ourselves to the descriptive part. The work is largely done for the original version, anyway.

::::::::Though, we already have two pages using the most usable generic descriptor possible. We have [[thorny flower]] and [[rubbery bulb]]. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 07:03, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::These are different cases, due to the choices available, all of which are generic common names rather than more specific names. In any case, to be clear, I made the discussion using the ''Presenter'' name just because that name is consistent with the name proposed in the [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Monty_Mole&type=revision&diff=2625830&oldid=2618799 template] and because that name is allowed. As I said before, ''mole'' is a valid name as well, a discussion and a proposal to use said name are both allowed once the page is created. We can also use ''mole'' right away, if everyone agrees on that. I'm personally neutral on the point of the name, as I'm more interested on whether the page should be made or not. As last point, in case there are doubts because of [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Change the source priority exception to a more case-by-case basis|the new proposal]], keep in mind that ''Presenter'' comes from a guide, not an internal filename, thus falling outside of the scope of said proposal as it is currently written.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 09:47, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
:::::::::::I'm neutral on Presenter, given that i know that it doesn't come from an internal filename. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 09:54, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
::::::::::::My stance on file names isn't that they're automatically out, I just don't like them being used as proof for saying that something is something else that it isn't, as they generally represent a period of early development for an entity. For instance, rubbery bulb is not a mushroom in the final game. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:23, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

:It's hard to say, [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/sunshine/ the official Japanese names list states that they are currently considered Monty Moles], and effectively ''Super Mario Sunshine'' is notorious for its off-model designs, this being retroactively explained by Nintendo as stemming from the fact that they derive from the graffiti of Bowser Jr.. Keep in mind that we have Monty Tank separate because it's a boss.

Should the Super Mario Sunshine Monty Moles be considered notable members to Monty Moles and getting their own page (Like Monty Tank). Or should they stay as is and just be on the Monty Mole page.

===Support===
#{{user|MontyMoleLoreMaster}} - They have enough differences and are original enough to feel like they should get their own page as unique Monty Moles (The Mario Sunshine Wiggler also has their own page so why not the Mario Sunshine Monty Moles).

===Oppose===
#{{user|7feetunder}} ''SMS'' Wiggler is a bad example. It's Japanese name is "[[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)#Names in other languages|Boss Hana-chan]]", meaning "Boss Wiggler", so it's actually a "boss" variant along the lines of [[Boss Brolder]] or [[Boss Sumo Bro]]. We split it because of that, not just because it looks different than a normal Wiggler. ''SMS'' Monty Moles are just Monty Moles, and their design isn't even that far off from their usual design compared to other enemies' ''SMS'' incarnations.
#{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Per 7feetunder. I'd also like to note that while the "Chorobe" developmental name seems to indicate it was a variant/notable at some point in the design process, in the finished product, it is treated simply as a Monty Mole/''Choropoo''.
#{{User|Swallow}} Monty Tank isn't a good example either since that has its own name in both Japanese and English and is a notable individual. Per all.

I will add other Mario Manga in the future but for now it will just be Super Mario-kun. If I missed a appearance please let me know (I check frequently so I will most likely see it). Also any volumes I haven’t wrote yet don’t add the info late, I will add the info eventually, I’m just doing one volume at a time (unless of course I skip past a volume). And finally all the pages (physically and digitally) I know with Monty Mole species will be linked here: https://mega.nz/fm/jKZXCYiQ. If I miss any additional pages that or for info on other enemies use this link for other scans: https://mega.nz/folder/wYxW2SID#GewBp2sKOScNOFbR8PLr5w/folder/ERRSSJLB. Any questions or translations will be helpful and welcome. I hope you enjoy the new info [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 22:14, October 5, 2021 (EDT)

Should the Monty Mole Stone Spirits get their own article? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 21:30, October 8, 2021 (EDT)

== Consider Wether Or Not The Moles In The Opening Of Warioware Touched! Are Monty Moles ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|no quorum|3-0-0}}
Some people, say that the moles in Warioware Touched! are Monty Moles. So I made this to see how many people agree or disagree on this.

'''Proposer''': {{User|MontyMoleLoreMaster}}<br>
'''Deadline''': November 9, 2021, 23:59 GMT

===Option 1: The moles seen in the opening for Warioware Touched! are generic moles unrelated to Monty Mole.===
#{{User|MontyMoleLoreMaster}} I think the biggest reason on why they seem to be generic moles, is because they are only listed as moles in the credits and not credited as Monty Moles. Monty Moles have been referred to generic names in the past, but they still kept a design that still resembled them. The moles here look extremely generic with the only thing they have in common with Monty Mole is the fur color I guess? Besides that, they just seem to be generic moles only used for the intro to the game. Warioware has used generic moles like in the microgame [[Hit Parade (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Hit Parade]] from WarioWare: Smooth Moves (ironically the mole there looks more like Monty Mole then the ones in this opening. Still very generic, but they at least have a little more resemblance). I would also want to point out that the MarioWiki made a major misconception for years saying the moles in Super Mario Galaxy were Monty Moles or a species to them, despite nothing claiming them being the exact same or related besides a few similarities and Undergrunt Gunner’s German name. Of course this has been resolved, but this can prove that we shouldn’t say generic moles like this are Monty Moles. NES Open Tournament Golf gets a pass since the Mole there has more resemblance to Monty Mole, and it being referenced in the KC Mario volume for the game. I know Rocky Wrench did appear in Warioware Gold, but that was way more obvious. So yeah, I think the moles in Warioware Tocuhed! are just some generic moles that have little to no resemblance to Monty Mole. I don’t think a few moles that only appeared in a short cutscene that bare little resemblance to Monty Mole should be classified as them.
#{{User|Hewer}} I for some reason remembered these moles looking much more like Monty Moles than they actually do, but after checking again, they probably are just generic moles given their generic design and generic name in the credits.
#{{User|Somethingone}} Per MMLM.

===Option 2: The moles seen in the opening for Warioware Touched! are in fact Monty Moles.===

===Option 3: You have no opinion on this and don’t care on which answer is picked.===

===Comments===
I don't really think Option 3 is necessary, since people who don't care don't have a reason to vote. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 05:41, October 27, 2021 (EDT)

Is this really necessary? Those WarioWare Touched moles already are not on this page and the question doesn't appear to have been seriously brought up here or in the article's history.  TPPs are meant to settle disagreements regarding article contents, not be public opinion polls. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 11:08, October 28, 2021 (EDT)
:I believe this proposal was made because the WarioWare Touched navbox is on the article. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 08:22, October 29, 2021 (EDT)

== Mario Party 4 ==
Monty Mole’s encyclopedia entry in Mario Party Superstars says that they appeared in Mario Party 4. It says it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJM9kVvVOlI. Does anyone have info for if Monty Mole appeared in Mario Party 4 or not? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 18:34, October 28, 2021 (EDT)
:Good question, I have an [[Talk:Snufit#Reopening a can of worms + Yurei Mucho name source.|interest]] in knowing too. From the look of things, this is either a mistake or an obscure cameo like the Swoop in ''Mario Party 3''. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 09:41, October 29, 2021 (EDT)

Try looking through every board or something that shows descriptions of characters. That might be where Monty Mole is. [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 20:01, October 29, 2021 (EDT)

I still can’t find info on Monty Mole being in Mario Party 4. Do you guys think it is a error or a very obscure cameo? Also should I make a purposel for this? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 12:37, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
:There's nothing to even make a proposal on, either Monty Mole appears somewhere in Mario Party 4 or it's a mistake in Superstars. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 13:04, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

My best guess is that Monty Mole either had a name drop in a Minigame or bio somewhere, or they appear somewhere in a board. What do you guys think? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 13:33, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
:You know, longplay videos of the game are available on YouTube. If you really want to find out, you can watch those videos. Or, take our word for it. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 13:55, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure something like that would have already been covered on the article by now if it was true. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:25, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

Well we did miss games like Mario is Missing!, Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games, Game & Watch Gallery 1 & 2, etc. So maybe it could have been a very obscure cameo we have never seen before. Should Mario Party 4 at least be put into the Trivia page since it is at least somewhat noteworthy to mention? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 14:53, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
:I'd say a brief mention in the Superstars section is enough for now unless we do find out for sure. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:57, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

== Choppah ==

Choppah’s German name calls them Heli-Monty which is similar to Monty Mole (same with Undergrunt Gunner having the exact same German name as Monty Mole in Super Mario Galaxy 2 for some reason). What should we do about this? Do you think this was just a coincidence or mistranslation,  or are they actually related to Monty Mole? (a proposal can be made here to discuss this further). (also I personally think that Choppah and Undergrunt Gunner are unrelated to Monty Mole but I would like to hear what you guys think).

== Masato Mizuta ==

So I believe that Masato Mizuta is the current voice actor for Monty Mole, but what was the first game where they voiced Monty Mole (I don’t actually know)? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 01:14, November 15, 2021 (EST)

== 4koma Manga Formatting ==

Should 4koma manga be formatted for each strip being spaced out or all strips in the volume being in one section like with other Mario Manga sections? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 22:34, December 7, 2021 (EST)
:Pages that are too verbose are not useful, most readers will just skip the walls of text. If you can summarize the topic of each 4koma in one sentence it's better, in most cases you can't properly describe the usual 4koma joke through descriptions anyway.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 07:20, December 8, 2021 (EST)

== Mario Sunshine Monty Mole (again) ==

So the Prima Guide and Bradygames guide suggests that both the Noki Bay and Pinna Park Monty Moles are the same character. Does this mean that they are the same character? If so, does this mean they could possibly get their own page? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 11:41, December 10, 2021 (EST)
:The problem is that said claim doesn't have particularly solid ground, [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/sunshine/ with the Monty Mole not having a unique name in Japanese]. Since ''Super Mario Sunshine'' has those particular designs and roles, the two might even be meant to be the standard Monty Moles of the game rather than a peculiar individual.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:00, December 10, 2021 (EST)
::Also the Prima Guide says that the Monty Mole brought the cannon with him, yet in-game it is stated that they stole it (at least for Pinna Park). So did they bring a cannon or steal one? This also applies to the Noki Bay one to. And when I was referring to the Monty Mole being considered a character for both of their fights, I mean that the Prima Guide says "Combat is the same as the last time you faced him", suggesting that this is the same Monty Mole from Pinna Park. The Bradygames guidebook has a section titled "Chorobe is back", which suggest that the Monty Mole in Pinna Park has returned. This could also make since for them being their own cannon in Noki Bay. Anyways, what do you think about this, and could this mean that this Monty Mole could get their own page as a notable member? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 20:27, December 13, 2021 (EST)
:::In the case of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the Nintendo Power guide has the priority, if it doesn't agree in this point, we can at best leave a mention in the section that the two English guides state that. At the moment I can't check the Nintendo Official Guidebook to see if it stated something on this aspect.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 07:21, December 14, 2021 (EST)

== Ghost Monty Moles and Monty Mole king ==

If I made a page for Ghost Monty Mole, should I merge the volume 4 and volume 55 ones as the same type of Ghost Monty Mole? Also, is it ok to say an implied character like the Monty Mole king to be a notable member of the Monty Mole species (like Watt’s Mother with Lil Sparky)? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 12:53, December 11, 2021 (EST)

== Tetris 99 ==

So where was Monty Mole's appearance in Tetris 99? Was it reused artwork from Mario Party Superstars? If so, please send a screenshot. [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 14:35, December 14, 2021 (EST)

Nevermind, the Monty Mole burrow can be seen on the screenshot they took. [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 14:42, December 14, 2021 (EST)

== Why is it a rocky Whrench variant? ==

Someone put ->variant_of rocky wrench [[Special:Contributions/148.255.234.235|148.255.234.235]] 12:26, June 16, 2024 (EDT)
:Because Monty Mole is based on Rocky Wrench? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:35, June 16, 2024 (EDT)
::It was agreed from [[Talk:Rocky Wrench#The return - treat Monty Mole as derivative of Rocky Wrench|this proposal]]. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 13:42, June 16, 2024 (EDT)
:::Seeing confusion again.[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Monty_Mole&diff=4383413&oldid=4382909] Those proposal changes ''should'' be documented on this talk page as well. ''<sub>grumble grumble</sub> we need policy on this''. {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:14, October 4, 2024 (EDT)
