====''Paper Mario''====
During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Monty Moles appear at [[Mt. Rugged]], where they either pop halfway out of the ground and throw rocks at Mario, or pop all the way out and chase him. In battle, they are always found halfway underground and attack Mario by throwing rocks at him. In one of the walls of the mountain, there is a Monty Mole-shaped hole, through which an endless stream of moles can pop out. Stronger, [[Monty Mole (

Monty Moles reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' where, unlike the first ''Paper Mario'', Monty Moles act as friendly NPCs rather than enemies. An unnamed [[Monty Mole auctioneer]] appears in [[Overlook Mountain]], where he sells one of the [[shell stone]]s. Multiple Monty Moles appear as NPCs in [[Breezy Tunnel]], giving the player dialogue (and sometimes an item). According to the Monty Moles, Breezy Tunnel is the workplace for them to find valuables to sell to [[Bowser]]. The Monty Moles also confuse [[Olivia]] for a female bee. A Monty Mole also confirms that they do not support bee bullying, as one scolded [[Mario]] for making the Olivia (who they through was a bee girl) cry (though they later forgave him after he made her happy). Breezy Tunnel also has a shop with a [[Fun, Funky, and Functional Monty Mole]] as well as a regular one. A [[Toad mechanic]] as well as his two Monty Mole assistants help give repairs to the [[Super Marino]]. In the alternate textures for [[Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle]], it is shown that multiple Monty Moles were among the many victims that had their faces severed and put on the boss. Finally, a Monty Mole can be seen in the final cutscene, being seen working at a Soccer ball shop.
Monty Moles were also originally planned to have [[Origami Monty Mole|origami variants]], but these variants were scrapped for unknown reasons.▼

This is the first ''Mario Party'' game where Monty Moles use their modern design, although a unused model suggests that they were going to originally use the design from the previous games. However, the model has lacks any textures and was likely replaced with the modern design rather early in development.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Mario_Party_7</ref>

Monty Mole appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' for the first time in the ''Mario Party'' series, though it is Monty Mole's fourth time being playable in any ''Mario'' game. As shown in the introductory scene, [[Bowser]] calls upon Monty Mole, [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Goomba]], [[Boo]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Dry Bones]], [[Hammer Bro]], and [[Pom Pom]] to participate in the party to be crowned "Super Star." Monty Mole's [[Dice Block]] has a +1 coin side instead of a 1; otherwise, it is functionally identical to the normal Dice Block. Fake Monty Moles also appear in the minigame [[Rhythm and Bruise]], where the player's objective is to whack them with hammers to the beat of the music. If the player uses Monty Mole for this minigame, he will start sweating and display a nervous expression. Monty Moles can also cameo in [[Absent Minded]] as one of the characters that can be chosen, though they only appear if nobody is playing as Monty Mole. Monty Mole also appears as one of the puzzles in [[Puzzle Hustle]] in their ''Super Mario World'' sprite form. Monty Moles can also occasionally be seen walking or running around in the background of Party Plaza.
====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Monty Moles appear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' as part of [[Woody Woods]], retaining their role from ''Mario Party 3'', although the Monty Mole huts have been replaced with burrows that serve the same function. Additionally, a Monty Mole

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.
