Monty Mole: Difference between revisions

Monty Moles appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. One is encountered in the [[Gritzy Desert]], and will prevent the four Mario Bros. of past and present from progressing unless they can complete his challenge. Two more are seen in the beginning of [[Gritzy Caves]] and they both run an [[Item Shop]] called the [[Monty Mart]]. Additionally, two more Monty Moles in Gritzy Caves run two more challenges that must be completed as well.

A group of five Monty Moles, called the [[Monty Bros.]], appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they utilize a giant drilling machine to fulfill Bowser's orders and dig a tunnel below [[Toad Town]]. They do not make much progress however, so Bowser has to finish their duties.

The Monty Bros. later reappear in the [[Treasure Chamber]] in [[Bowser's Castle]], betraying Bowser and claim that [[Fawful]] bribed them and ordered them to get rid of Bowser. They attack Bowser in a giant train called the [[Fawful Express]], in which Bowser must defeat them in his giant form. If he succeeds, the falling chunks of the debris from the train will defeat the Monty Bros. However, they escape in the remake, alongside other unseen Monty Moles.

Fawful-themed Monty Mole enemies called [[Mawful Mole]]s and [[Metal Mawful Mole]]s can be also be found in this game.

Monty Moles also make an enemy appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Here, they act as support enemies for [[Bowser Jr.]] during his battle at the end of the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]]'s Battle Medley, repairing the [[Junior Clown Car]] after it explodes. If they get hit by a [[Taunt Ball]], they take longer to repair his Clown Car.

Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as an enemy. They battle in holes that were dug out of the ground, while also having a similar attack pattern as [[Mawful Mole]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Unlike Mawful Moles, they can sometimes throw [[Golden Egg]]s instead of rocks. They are encountered normally in [[Sunbeam Plains]] and later the haunted area of [[Gloomy Woods]]. They additionally appear in a few missions, such as [[Fly Guy Flyby]] as enemies to avoid, as well as in a few questions of some of the quiz missions like [[Toad Trivia]] and [[Toad Brain]]. They can also appear in one of the attacks from the [[Wiggler]] boss fight, in which [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] has to hit several Monty Moles and [[Paper Spear Guy]]s on his way while being chased by Wiggler.
