Mega Monty Mole first appears in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as the mid-boss of [[Airship Central]] in the minigame, [[Mega Monty Mole's Maze Mischief]]. During the minigame, Mega Monty Mole arrives in a flower pot being carried by a Monty Mole themed Hot-Air Balloon and the players on their Airship emerge for battle. Players need to make it through a maze on the Airship in order to reach the cannons to fire at Mega Monty Mole, whoever reaches the cannons first gets the better cannon which deals more damage to Mega Monty Mole for more points. After each attack, Mega Monty Mole will pull out a [[Bomb]] rearranging the maze, giving players a different maze to work with each time they go through it. When Mega Monty Mole is depleted toof half his health, Mega Monty Mole will become enraged and every time he rearranges the maze, bombs are now also added in certain ends, which forcingforce players to avoid them. If a bomb explodes on a player, they lose a point. After his defeat, Mega Monty Mole collapses and then proceeds to explodeexplodes, which releases several [[Mini Star]]s.
