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, however, his name can be found in the files of the final game.

*Despite King Choropū being the supposed leader of the Monty Mole species, [[Bowser]] is usually seen ascommanding theMonty bossMoles of(like Montyother Molesenemy species). This could likely suggest that King Choropū also works for Bowser (similarly to [[King Bob-omb]] and [[Goomboss]]).
