Alternately, their next attack has them go underground and pop back up in front of Mario or Luigi. The Bros. must hammer the moles as they come up; if they are too slow, the moles will jump on their head and cause damage.

Mawful Mole, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

Mawful Moles are Monty Mole enemies with Fawful-like attributes that are found in Blubble Lake in the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Bowser can defeat these in the overworld by simply crushing them and earning some Coins in the process, while Mario and Luigi can engage them in battle. They also have a stronger metal variant encountered later on in the game.

They attack by throwing boulders at the Mario Bros., which is countered by a jump. If they get dirt on their faces, they will miss and throw it really high, which will hurt the brothers if they jump, but will miss if they stand still. The Mawful Moles have another attack, in-which they "wink", showing which brother they are going to attack. This attack can be countered with the hammer, which can be done several times while the Mawful Mole is popping out of the jokes until they jump over the selected brother to fall on him which causes damage. However, this attack can also be countered with the hammer, which results in the Mawful Mole being forced back in the hole it came out from.

Mawful Moles also appear as support enemies in the giant battle against the Tower of Yikk, in which a group of them will sometimes repair the tower to restore its HP. Bowser can defeat these Mawful Moles easily by breathing fire on them.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Mawful Moles have the coloration and proportions of regular Monty Moles (with many sprites of Mawful Moles now having a strong resemblance to the Monty Mole sprites in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam). Additionally, they now take critical damage from hammer attacks. In the Tower of Yikk battle, the Mawful Moles now gain an extra line of dialogue before repairing the Tower. This makes Mawful Moles one of the very few Fawful themed enemies to be shown talking on-screen (thiugh this only applies to the remake).
