{{nihongo|'''King Choropū'''|キングチョロプー|King Monty Mole}}<ref>https://www.mariocastle.it/paper-mario-sticker-star-scoperte-elementi-scartati/2/</ref> was a boss foundoriginally inplanned theto [[Listappear ofin ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star beta elements|beta]]'', versionbut ofwas ultimately scrapped after the {{wp|E3 2010}} ''[[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star beta elements|beta]]'' version. He is a large purple [[Monty Mole]] with a beard and a crown, and would have seemingly been the ruler of the Monty Mole species as well.

Although King Choropū never physically appeared in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', he would be briefly mentioned in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 5|volume 5]], where one of the Monty Mole farmers would briefly mention the existence of him, as they suggested to take [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] to King Choropū's place. However, the Monty Moles would shortly change their mind on the decision to take the trio to King Choropū, and instead, they decided to take the trio to be food for their [[Butametto and Ushimetto|livestock]].<ref>''"こいつら、大王さまのところへ連れていくだよ。"''("We'll take these guys to the great king's place.") - Monty Mole, [https://www.marioboards.com/attachments/19396/ ''Super Mario-kun'' volume 5 chapter 8, page 113]</ref>

The King Choropū was intended to make a physical appearance in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', as seen in a screenshot from the E3 2010 beta. Judging by the screenshot, King Choropū would have likely appeared as a boss somewhere in the forest area. The only known attack that King Choropū has was him throwing a giant boulder at Mario and his [[Chain Chomp (partner)|partners]]. Unfortunately, King Choropū was removed from the game for unknown reasons,. howeverDespite this, his name can still be found in the files offor the final game.

*Despite King Choropū being the supposed leader of the Monty Mole species, [[Bowser]] is usually seen commanding most Monty MolesMole species (like a majority of other enemy species throughout the series). This could likely suggest that King Choropū alsois worksa forhigh ranking minion of Bowser (similarly to [[King Bob-omb]] and [[Goomboss]]), though this has not been confirmed.
