Monty Moles (referred to under the name '''Chubby''' in the instruction booklet)<ref name="mk64manual">"''Watch out for the mole Chubby who will occasionally pop his head out!''" - ''Mario Kart 64'' English instruction booklet, page 26.</ref> appear in [[N64 Moo Moo Farm|Moo Moo Farm]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' as obstacles, hopping in and out of holes in the ground, causing both them and the racers who hit them to spin out. They appear with triangular sunglasses and tan snouts. In the Japanese version of the game, Chubbies can be hit using the [[Boo]] item like a [[Super Star]], while other versions make the player go through them.

The North American and Australian instruction booklet appears to refer to Chubby in the singular form, as if it were a character,<ref name="mk64manual"/> although the Moo Moo Farm graphic shows a few red X's representing "Watch out for Chubby!", as Monty Moles are encountered in a few different parts of the course.

Monty Moles (referred to as '''1-up Moles''' by ''[[Nintendo Power]]'')<ref>Nintendo Power issue 185 (November 2004), p. 116</ref> appear in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. They can be found in every level except [[The Fun Fair]] peeking out from one of their holes. If Mario hits them, he gains 500 [[point]]s and the Monty Mole is stunned briefly before moving to another hole. The Monty Mole eventually goes back to their previous hole if they are not hit after a while. If Mario hits the Monty Mole enough times, it drops a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and be at a point where it no longer can be hurt. Due to their behavior, they can only be defeated with a [[Super Star]]. Each level also has a unique costume that Monty Moles can be seen wearing. The [[Grassy Greens Stage]] has normal Monty Moles; in the [[Frosty Frontier Stage]], they wear a parka; in the [[Shifting Sands Stage]], they wear fezzes; and in the [[Fiery Stage]], they wear Viking helmets.
