He appears in Pinna Park and Noki Bay at the helm of large, red, dome-shaped cannons, firing Bullet Bills at Mario in the former, and Glorpedo down the cliffside in the latter. 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.Ī Monty Mole, as depicted in Super Mario SunshineĪ Monty Mole, also called Chorobe, appears in Super Mario Sunshine. From the '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. 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. 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. The Nintendo Power guidebook 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. 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. Monty Moles in this game act similarly to Rocky Wrenches, albeit throwing rocks instead of wrenches before disappearing underground. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically reside in the toxic maze, though they remain outside the toxic cloud. Monty Moles appear in the Hazy Maze Cave and on Tall, Tall Mountain in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Monty Moles also appear as enemies in a World-e level called Ground Work, with some of them hiding beneath grass patches and being released upon the player plucking them. 3, the king of Iced Land is turned into a Monty Mole by Lemmy Koopa. 3, in Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 Īlthough Monty Moles are not present in the original version of Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. In development builds of the game, Monty Moles had slightly different digging sprites from those in the final game. 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. However, in another artwork, they have visible, squinting eyes and long, mole-like noses. In one artwork, they appear to be wearing sunglasses as well as having a short, gopher-like nose. Monty Moles can be defeated by any attack method. The game also features Mega Moles, giant Monty Moles that Mario can actually ride on to get across obstacles, but can still be hit by one. They pop out of random spots in the ground to surprise Mario or Luigi and will then chase after him persistently or walk and hop occasionally. In Super Mario World, Monty Moles are first encountered in the level Yoshi's Island 2.
