They are the children of [[Choropū (Haha)]], and are designed mostly like normal Monty Moles, though they also have a slight resmablnce to the design of [[Morty Mole]]s in ''Super Mario-kun''.
In chapter 17, Choropū (Haha) asks [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] to give her Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) a great Christmas, with her even offering to pay Mario if he does it. When Mario arrivesand Yoshi arrive at their home (now in a [[Santa Claus]] and [[Reindeer]] costume respectively), the Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) mistake himMario forand aYoshi for thiefthieves at first and attempt to attack the two of them. However, butthe Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) quickly become excited when Mario reveals that he is Santa. TheyThe Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) show Mario (who they still think is Santa Claus) some fishing, beforewith heMario then putsputting up a Christmas tree (which is actually Yoshi in a costume) to help with the festivities. The Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) then bake a cake for Mario (which was meant for Santa), beforebut Yoshi quickly eats the cake before Mario could get the chance to eat it. Though Mario is slightly madangry at Yoshi for eating the cake, the Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) still have a sirloin steak for SantaMario (which was meant for Santa) called「サンタ食うロース」(''[[Santa kuu rōsu]]''), a pun on "Santa Claus") that they made for him (though Mario wishes he had chicken instead). Mario then takes off his Santa costume, which makes the Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) angryextremely upset, dueas tothey themfind knowingout that heit was actually Mario and not Santa Claus. Mario and Yoshi then quickly run away, only for Mario to remember that he forgot to get paid. However, Choropū (Haha) and her Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) still thank Mario for the wonderful Christmas they had (even if the Choropū (Kodomo-tachi) found out that Mario was not the real Santa Claus).
