Monty Moles also appear in a minigame titled "Whack-a-Monty" where the player has to tap as many Monty Moles as they can in a certain amount of time. When jumped on, it will spin around its tank and shoot many Bullet Bills and gain another Bill Blaster. Mario or Luigi can defeat it by either jumping on its head three times when it comes out to throw a Bob-omb or by hitting it with fireballs. The Monty Tank fires Bullet Bills and Bob-ombs. Parts of its design also resemble that of classic Rocky Wrenches, such as the long arms and color placement.Īlthough Monty Moles are absent as regular enemies, Monty Tank, a Monty Mole that rides a tank, is the boss of the World 6-Castle in New Super Mario Bros. The manning of war machinery may be a throwback to Rocky Wrenches, who manned many of the machines in Super Mario Bros 3. In Noki Bay, the Monty Mole can be fought and defeated which rewards Mario with a Shine Sprite. A Pianta repairman replaces the Monty Mole from Episode 3 onward. After Mario defeats him, he is able to jump into the cannon and access a secret course to get the Shine Sprite.

The contours of the eyes behind the squint is also visible if examined closely enough.Īt Pinna Park, the Monty Mole is found in the episode The Beach Cannon's Secret at the far end of the beach past the Great Sunflower. In this game, the Monty Mole has much lankier arms than usual, a more bright orange color, a smaller white patch, and green hats. They can be disabled using F.L.U.D.D., and tossing a Bob-omb at the mole three times defeats him. When Mario approaches the mole, he stops firing and tosses Bob-ombs at him. 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, also called Chorobe, appears in Super Mario Sunshine. From the "sunglasses" artwork, they get the smooth, cheekless 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 from the Super Mario Sunshine design, they get the wideness of the upper lip. In the remake, they receive a redesign, consolidating 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, they use their squinting design from Super Mario World, but with an added pair of pronounced teeth, a black nose, and somewhat larger limbs. Monty Moles in this game act similar to Rocky Wrenches, albeit throwing rocks instead of wrenches. They also appear in a section of Tall, Tall Mountain. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically reside in the toxic maze, though they remain outside of the toxic cloud. They throw rocks at Mario and then disappear underground. Monty Moles appear in Hazy Maze Cave 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. 3Īlthough Monty Moles are not present in the original version of Super Mario Bros. 3/Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 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 one artwork, they appear to be wearing sunglasses, as well as having a short, gopher-like nose, though in another artwork, they have visible, squinting eyes and long, mole-like noses. 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.

Monty Moles debut in Super Mario World in the stage Yoshi's Island 2.
