Monty Mole: Difference between revisions

====''NES Open Tournament Golf''====

===''Super Mario World'' TV series===

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', they are referred to by their usual name, and mainly appear in N64 Moo Moo Farm and [[DS Peach Gardens|Peach Gardens]] with the same behavior as previous games.  

 

In [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Mission]] 3-6, the player's task is to hit five Monty Moles.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', they appear as obstacles in [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]] as well as <small>DS</small> Peach Gardens and also appear as audience members in other courses. They now appear much bigger, as well as digging under the ground before jumping out. However, they are stationary obstacles in DS Peach Gardens like in previous games. They originally had their model from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''New Super Mario Bros.'', as well as a different jumping animation for a placeholder before being completely reworked in the final game.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_Wii/Unused_Course_Objects</ref>

{{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 <small>SNES</small> 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 fit with the theme of the course. They also appear in {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}} in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass]].

Monty Mole makes his official playable debut in the ''Mario Kart'' series in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' available from May 6, 2020 in the [[Flower Tour]]. He is classified as a tour-exclusive Super character (the first Super character with this distinction) and his [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] is the [[Mushroom Cannon]]. Starting with the [[Wild West Tour]], Monty Mole became a regular Super character while also gaining a [[Monty Mole Cup|self-named cup]]. Monty Moles also appear as obstacles in [[SNES Donut Plains 2]], [[SNES Donut Plains 3]], [[GBA Sunset Wilds|GBA Sunset Wilds R/T]], and [[Amsterdam Drift]] (barring the T variant), where they behave the same as in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', allowing racers to perform a Jump Boost off their trails and holes.

====''Game & Watch Gallery''====

Monty Moles (referred to as '''Chubbies''' in the cast credits) appear in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', in which they appear in the Modern version of ''[[Manhole (Game & Watch)|Manhole]]'', popping up on occasion to throw a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] at Yoshi.

====''Game & Watch Gallery 2''====

Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'', in which they appear in the Modern version of ''[[Vermin]]''. They appear when the player earns 200, 500, and 700 [[point]]s. When they appear, they throw a heart at Yoshi just like in the previous game.

Monty Moles appear again in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' as owners of the shops. Once players enter the Warp Pipe, they can buy items from it. Monty Moles also appear in the minigame [[Mole Thrill]]. In this minigame, players have to dig with their partner through the dirt, while staying ahead of the mole. They also have a trophy and rival badge that can be unlocked.

Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. They appear as options to choose from in the minigames [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]]. They cameo in the background of [[Drive for Show]] and [[Bumper Thumper]]. A Monty Mole constellation (similar to Hello Mole from ''Mario Party 9'') can be seen in the minigame [[Starring Artist]]. In Perilous Palace Path, a Monty Mole appears near a Goomba Tower under the gray circle. If the Goomba Tower points to the right, the player standing on the gray circle will be thrown to the Bowser Zone by the mole.

They can also cameo in [[Absent Minded]] as one of the characters that can be chosen, though they only appear if no-one is playing as Monty Mole.

 

Monty Mole also appears as one of the puzzles in [[Puzzle Hustle]] in their ''Super Mario World'' sprite form.

 

Monty Moles can also occasionally be seen walking or running around in the background of Party Plaza.

In the sequel ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Monty Mole maintains its position as a member of Mario's team. While its best stat continues to be speed, its other stats are slightly below average. Monty Mole has good chemistry with [[Shy Guy]], [[Goomba]], and [[Paragoomba]], and doesn't have any bad chemistry with any other character. In the story mode of the game, Monty Mole can be found buried in the sand. If any of the team captains wakes it up, it asks why they did it, claiming that they are no match for [[Bowser Jr.]] and his minions, and challenges them to a baseball match. If defeated, Monty Mole will happily join the team. Monty Moles also appear in many of the cutscenes either being in the crowd or cheering Mario.
