Template:Species-infobox Morty Moles[1] are a giant species related to Monty Moles that appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They resemble Mega Moles, but have reddish-brown fur color, do not wear sunglasses, and are susceptible to stomping.

History

Super Mario 3D Land

Morty Moles first appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They inhabit levels such as World 5-4 and 7-4 along with Monty Moles. The moles are now susceptible to stomping, and are fought similarly to Rexes; they get shorter and faster after the first stomp, and are defeated on the second stomp. However, they will revert back to their regular size if they manage to hit Mario while they are short, or after a short time. A Ground Pound will also defeat them in one hit. When defeated, Mega Moles will sometimes give Super Mushrooms.

Trivia

  • In the internal files for Super Mario 3D Land, Morty Moles are labeled as "Indy", which is the Japanese name for Mega Moles, however, whether or not Morty Moles are intended to be redesigned Mega Moles is unknown, as they have different names in both English and Japanese and no connection between the two has been explicitly confirmed.
