Talk:Monty Mole
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 Almighty Rajah 14:40, 2 August 2006 (EDT)
- They are a seperate people. Perhaps Mole folk could be used as a good article title... -- 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.

Discussion from Talk:Chubby
What is the source for this name? I thought they were just regular Monty Moles. -- Son of Suns
- The Instruction Manual for Mario Kart 64 says under the Moo Moo Farm description clearly states that the mole's name is Chubby.
- Waluigi Freak 99 20:06, 9 September 2006 (EDT)
- PS: It's easy to get the two mixed up, since, in the Moo Moo Farm remake in Mario Kart DS, they were called Monties, but in Mario Kart 64, it's called Chubby.
- Waluigi Freak 99 20:09, 9 September 2006 (EDT)
- So wouldn't the second name be canon, as it is the most updated version? Regardless, perhaps this information could be added to the Monty Mole page. I don't think it is significant enough to receive it's own article. If this info is added to Monty Mole page, you can say that the Monty Moles in this game were referred to as Chubbies. -- Son of Suns
- True. OK. Go ahead and delete it. I'll add the info to the Monty Mole page.

Deleted
OK, it's gone. Information to Monty Mole added.

In the official Nintendo Power guide (1997) simply calls them moles and mole holes, though it's safe to assume that they are Monty Moles, the common enemy first found in SMW. Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 23:38, 9 September 2006 (EDT)
Mario Party Series
Didn't monty moles appear in mario party games?F g
Sometimes, I've only seen them in Mario Party 7, they are in two mini-games, and one hosts a coin-giveaway in Pyramid Park.
Oh, yeah. They appear in a mini-game in Mario Party 6 called....called..... Mole-It
It's actually Mole-it!, and such information is already discussed in their respective places. Phoenix Rider Irony, no?
Didn't they also appear in Monty's Revenge?F g
Tattle
Why is there no Paper Mario tattle?Mr. Guy the Guy Talk!
Be bold and add it in there.--Knife (talk) 13:12, 4 October 2009 (EDT)
Split Undergrunt from Monty Mole
Template:SettledTPP Split into Undergrunt 8-0
In the offical PRIMA game guide for Super Mario Galaxy and it's sequel these enemies were listed as "Undergrunts". Not "Monty Mole". Not "some kind of mole speicies", Undergrunt. Undergrunt Gunners have their own page. So why don't Undergrunts?

- Superboo922 (talk) Per me.
- Ratfink43 (talk) This makes sense. I doubt Undergrunts are Monty moles
- Zero777 (talk) I am Zero! Per all. Zero signing out.
- Arend (talk) Per all, they look different. First, they have helmets. Second, they have different colors. Third, Undergrunt's eyes are open, and the Monty Mole's are closed. Always. Also, they DO different. Monty Moles pop out, while Undergrunts dig underground.
- Supermariofan14 (talk) Even if they were Monty Moles they're totally different.

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. --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.
Bowser's luma
- 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... --Nelde 16:00, 17 January 2011 (EST)
Paper Mario
According to this video, the palette-swapped Monty Moles in Flower Fields are called Flower Choropū in the Japanese version. That should probably be mentioned here. --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.--Knife (talk) 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 TV series) are moles that appear in several 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 Bills and Bob-ombs. As such, Monty Moles appear to be technologically savvy.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ultra Magnotron (talk).
- 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. Bop1996 (Talk)
Split the Monty Mole variant in Flower Fields in Paper Mario from Monty Mole
This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment. |
Current time: Monday, September 9, 2024, 14:19 GMT
I created this proposal due to 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 Guys 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.

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. - Walkazo 16:56, 18 July 2012 (EDT)
