Pages 106, 137, 138, 139.</ref>) are a friendly species of [[Monty Mole]] featured in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Presenters are yellow moles that heavily resemble [[Mega Mole]]s and wear a red bowtie. Presenters are usually hidden in various locations, usually in a hidden area or after an optional hidden platforming challenge. They give presents to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], such as items, clothing, or [[badge]]s. Asking them again after getting the item will result in them telling the player that they are greedy, and that they cannot receive any more items. In the original game, there are 11 Presenters that can be found in total.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Presenters were replaced with bowtie wearing Monty Moles,<ref>https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mario-luigi-superstar-saga-bowsers-minions-tips-tricks/</ref> although these Monty Moles function the exact same as the Presenters from the original game (including the same dialogue). In addition to there being 11 Monty Moles in the same spots that the Presenters were in the original game, an additional twelfth Monty Mole exclusive to this remake can be found within [[Beanbean Fields]].

|Just south of the entrance to [[Teehee Valley]], the brothers can find a hidden section from the northeast corner of the area. In this section, Mario can drink from the [[Watering hole|water spout]] and then Luigi can tickle Mario from behind in front of each of the six plant roots. This will cause Luigi to eject Mario's water onto each of the roots in order to grow them into flat trees that can be [[High Jump|High Jumped]] on. One of these trees will lead to this mole.
