Monty Moles make their debut ''Super Mario World'', being encountered in both [[Yoshi's Island 2]] and [[Cookie Mountain]]. Monty Moles pop out of random spots in the ground to surprise [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and will either chase after them persistently or just walk around and hop occasionally (though the latter behavior was not seen in future titles). Monty Moles can easily be defeated by any attack method. ''Super Mario World'' also introduced a larger variant of Monty Mole named [[Mega Mole]], which Mario or Luigi can ride on to get across obstacles. Despite this, Mega Moles can still damage Mario or Luigi. In some [[List of Super Mario World beta elements|earlier builds]] of the game, Monty Moles had slightly different digging sprites from those in the final game.

Monty Moles were going to appear as enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' but were cut from the game.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Paper_Mario:_Sticker_Star#Unused_Enemies TCRF]</ref> Additionally, a crowned purple Monty Mole boss named [[King Choropū]] (キングチョロプー)<ref>https://www.mariocastle.it/paper-mario-sticker-star-scoperte-elementi-scartati/2/</ref> was also [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content|intended]] to appear, as shown in a screenshot from the {{wp|E3 2010}} beta.

Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' as enemies in the levels [[Spring Sprung Trail]], [[Monty-Mole-B-Gone]], [[Haunted Maker Mansion]], [[Jumping for Victory]], and [[The Countdown Begins]], usually walking or digging around the foreground or background in the levels they appear in. Yoshi can defeat the Monty Moles the same way he can in other games. Monty Moles play a notable role in the level Monty-Mole-B-Gone, where Yoshi has to defeat as many Monty Moles as he can in order to receive all of the [[Smiley Flower]]s. Their [[big Monty Mole|larger counterparts]] also make their debut in the ''Yoshi'' series. In some levels that Monty Moles appear in, Yoshi can hit a red [[Time Cloud]] to begin a timed mini challenge where Yoshi has to defeat all the Monty Moles (and a big Monty Mole) that appear in the background in order to receive a Smiley Flower. In the world map for [[Origami Gardens]], a giant spring-like Monty Mole can be seen moving up and down above where the level Monty-Mole-B-Gone is. Some cardboard Monty Moles also make a cameo as circus spectator crafts in the level [[Hoop-Jump Hop]] along with cardboard [[Shy Guy]]s.

In episode 59, the Monty Mole can be seen on the final page waving in the distance along with various other characters from ''Dr. Mario-kun'' (due to it being the last episode of the manga).

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Although [[Mega Mole]]s appear frequently in the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', Monty Moles only appear once as a cameo in one of the puzzles from ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'' when Mario is being chased by the Mega Moles in the cellar of the haunted mansion. The two Monty Moles seen in the puzzle have no effect to the story. They also reuse their ''Super Mario World'' artwork.
