Added more stuff to the Super Mario Sunshine section (yes, Monty Moles are confirmed to be main bosses in the Prima Guide, not mini-bosses even if they don’t use the boss theme).

Monty Moles appear in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically reside in the toxic maze, though they remain outside the [[toxic cloud]]. Monty Moles have a unique attack pattern in this game, attacking by throwing rocks at one of the characters before burrowing back down into another hole. 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 appear in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.

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. 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. 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. 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. | 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.

Page 77.</ref>, appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as a boss. He appears in [[Pinna Park]] and [[Noki Bay]] at the helm of large, red, dome-shaped cannons, firing [[Bullet Bill]]s at Mario in the former, and [[Glorpedo]] down the cliffside in the latter. When Mario approaches the mole, he stops firing and tosses [[Bob-omb]]s at him. They can be disabled using [[F.L.U.D.D.]], and tossing a Bob-omb at the mole three times defeats him. Both battles with the Monty Mole are nearly the exact same. In this game, the Monty Mole has much lankier arms than usual, a more bright orange color, a smaller white patch, and a green hat. The contours of the eyes behind the squint are also visible if examined closely enough. | ||
At [[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]]. After Mario defeats him, he is able to jump into the cannon and access a secret course to get the [[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]]. A [[Pianta]] repairman replaces the Monty Mole from Episode 3 onward. In Noki Bay, the Monty Mole reappears in the [[Uncork the Waterfall]] mission, corking up the waterfall and causing the water to be polluted. After defeating the Monty Mole again, the waterfall is uncorked, flinging both the cork and the Monty Mole far away, in-which Mario can then collect the Shine Sprite. | ||
The manning of war machinery may be a throwback to [[Rocky Wrench]]es, who manned many of the machines in ''Super Mario Bros 3''. Parts of its design also resemble that of classic Rocky Wrenches, such as the long arms and color placement. This is also the first game to feature a Monty Mole boss. | The manning of war machinery may be a throwback to [[Rocky Wrench]]es, who manned many of the machines in ''Super Mario Bros 3''.
