(I think a Super Mario Land 2 section is fine since Ragumo was confirmed to be a relative to Monty Mole.)

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.

{{main|Ragumo}}
Although Monty Moles do not appear physically in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', [[Ragumo]] is a confirmed relative to the Monty Mole species, as it was confirmed in multiple official Japanese sources.

Monty Moles appear in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically reside in the toxic maze, though they remain outside the [[toxic cloud]]. Monty Moles have a unique attack pattern in this game, attacking by throwing rocks at one of the characters before burrowing back down into another hole. If Mario, [[Yoshi]], Luigi, or [[Wario]] can defeat a certain number of Monty Moles in the game, a 1-Up Mushroom appears for him to collect.

The ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guidebook also says that the Monty Moles in the Hazy Maze Cave are a Monty Mole family and the ones on Tall, Tall Mountain are considered their friends.<ref>Super Mario 64 Official Player's Guide, pages 61 and 101.</ref>

In volume 5, Monty Moles have a major role in one chapter where a group of Monty Mole farmers see Luigi, Yoshi, and Mario, who has been turned into a mushroom. After provoking them, the Monty Moles attack Mario and Yoshi. Luigi tries planning a surprise attack by shooting fire at them but accidentally hits his friends instead, with the Monty Moles then hitting Luigi with a paddle stick. Before the Monty Moles can take them to their [[King Choropū|king]], they instead show them their livestock. While the Monty Moles show Mario and his friends [[Butametto and Ushimetto]] they have, Luigi performs another surprise attack by kicking Mario into the Monty Moles. The Monty Moles then call a group of [[Swoop|Swooper]]s to then fuse with them, creating [[Monty Mole Swooper]]s. They eat the mushroom Mario, which reverts him back to normal, but the Monty Mole Swoopers become stronger. They then send Butametto and Ushimetto to trample Mario and his friends, but they are defeated when Mario and his friends use the light of the coins to scare the Monty Mole Swoopers. After they forfeit, they tell Mario that [[Bowser's Castle]] is in the pipe. Mario and his friends then leave through the pipe only to fall in [[lava]]. A later chapter shows several [[Choropū Men'iwa]] that attack Mario and Yoshi alongside face rocks of other enemies. The [[gattai monster]] later in the same chapter also has Monty Mole paws.

In volume 6, a Monty Mole amongst other enemies are crushed into an egg to make Yoshi into Star Yoshi. Monty Moles appear in one maze puzzle which gives them open eyes and two fang-like teeth (this design resembles their future redesign in volume 18). In a chapter featuring [[Mega Mole]], the Mega Mole refers to themselves as a normal Monty Mole when Mario shrinks them with the [[Lightning]].<ref>''"これじゃ、チョロ プーだぜ。" ("Now I'm just a normal Choropū!")'' - '''Mega Mole''' - ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' volume 6</ref> A later chapter has Yoshi making a stew which has a Goomba, [[Koopa Troopa]], and Monty Mole in it, which he feeds to Mario. Another chapter has a Monty Mole come to Bowser's lair to show him his flyer for Bowser that says,「地獄の サーキット場完成!! - 命の保障は いたしません。これるもんならきてみやがれ!! "かなやしかけもいっぱい"」(''"[[SNES Donut Plains 1|Infernal circuit field]] completed! We aren't responsible for your life. Come and see it anyway!! 'It's wonderful'"''), and where Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are heading. The Monty Mole is then instructed by Bowser to help [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in his rematch at Donut Plains 1. Later in the same chapter, the Monty Mole from earlier in the chapter comes back to jump on Luigi's face while he is driving, which results in Luigi crashing into Yoshi. A later chapter has Mario having many Monty Moles attaching to his face. However, Mario uses a Fire Flower to burn the Monty Moles into a crisp. Finally, a Monty Mole appears in a spot-the-difference puzzle by a snowman.
