Monty Mole


As you fight your way through Dinosaur Land, fighting off dinosaurs and Koopalings and football players of all sizes, you will soon come to rougher areas of the island, full of rocky hills and cliffsides that line your path. Be careful where you step though, as you might find a big, furry mole suddenly bursting from the earth to your left and slashing you with its big old claws.

This is a Monty Mole, a burrowing resident of Dinosaur Land and the Mushroom Kingdom. They have a more mechanically inclined cousin, the Rocky Wrench, that appeared before as the crew of Super Mario Bros. 3’s airships, but this is where Monty’s make their first proper appearance. They will soon become staples of most Mario games, popping up in the most inconvenient of locations and causing trouble from below, sometimes even commandeering tanks and using Bob-Ombs and Bullet Bills to their advantage.

In game, Monty Moles will likely be driving around these tanks, giving them solid speed and a good line of defense at the cost of speed and weight. They will make use of the Bullet Bills that did not see a place on the roster, as well as their cousins’ throwing wrenches and their own propensity to tuck down and hide when times get rough.
