I think some of this stuff fits better in the unused appearances section, as it is clear that Monty Mole was scrapped from these pieces of media.

Monty Moles were going to appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', but were taken out for unknown reasons. Similar to their behavior in the overworld of the first ''Paper Mario'', they would have attacked Mario by popping out of holes in the wall (like in ''Super Mario World'') and throwing rocks (like in ''Super Mario 64''). The unused sprites for Monty Mole in this game use a higher-resolution version of their ''Paper Mario'' design (though with some different colors like their nose being pink). Monty Mole's animations were also fully complete before being removed.<ref> https://twitter.com/PaperMarioBeta/status/1593783784813518850</ref> Despite Monty Moles themselves being unused, a [[Sammer Guy]] named [[Monty Who Waits]] is named after them.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''====
As shown in a piece of concept art, Monty Moles were at one point going to be one of the members of the [[Koopa Troop]] to be featured in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''.<ref>https://mariopedia.org/wiki/File:TSMBM_Koopa_Troop_Concept_Art.jpg</ref> However, Monty Moles do not appear in the final movie for unknown reasons.

A Monty Mole can be seen on the cover of the pitch for the cancelled ''[[Nintendo Comic]]'' created by [[Fleetway Editions]]. However, due to the comic being cancelled, it is unknown what role Monty Mole would have had in the actual comic.
In early builds of ''{{wp|Wii Fit Plus}}'', Monty Mole's model from ''Mario Kart Wii'' was used as a placeholder for the moles in that game before eventually being removed.<ref>https://wiifactsplus.tumblr.com/post/637159989999452160/one-of-the-documents-found-in-the-september-2020 ([https://archive.is/xGaqY archive.is])</ref>

Line 758: Line 762:
Once arriving back at their cave lair, Cheatsy tells the Gophers that they did a splendiferous job helping steal the crops and that the Cave People will either have to buy their crops back from him or starve. Afterwards, Cheatsy and the Gophers then sing a self praising song called "[[Cheatsy's Life]]," with the Gophers singing backup on how Cheatsy's life is fun when there is underhanded evil to be done (making it one of the very few pieces of official ''Mario'' media to have Monty Moles being fully voice acted). Unfortunately for Cheatsy, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi were able to secretly follow Cheatsy back to his lair and proceed to kidnap the Gophers one by one while Cheatsy and the other Gophers were busy singing their song. The trio then proceeded to tie up the kidnapped Gophers and suspend them onto the ceiling. Once Cheatsy finishes singing his song, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi then drop the suspended Gophers onto Cheatsy, ultimately crushing him. Mario and his friends then proceed to bring the crops back to [[Dome City]], before Cheatsy makes a remark on how much he hates those plumbers.
