Monty Mole: Difference between revisions

In volume 6, a Monty Mole amongst other enemies are crushed into a Yoshi 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 heavily resembles their future redesign in volume 18). In one chapter that features a [[Mega Mole]], the Mega Mole refers to themselves as a normal Monty Mole when Mario shrinks them with the [[Lightning]] (despite the Mega Mole still resembling a Mega Mole).<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> In another chapter, Yoshi makes a stew which has a Goomba, [[Koopa Troopa]], and Monty Mole in it, which he feeds to Mario. In a later chapter, a Monty Mole come to Bowser's lair to show him their 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'"''), with Mario, Luigi and Yoshi heading to said area. 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. In a following chapter, Mario had many Monty Moles attaching to his face during when he is fighting Bowser in a Battle Mode. However, Mario uses a Fire Flower to quickly burn the Monty Moles and himself into a crisp (though Mario is fine afterwards). Finally, a Monty Mole appears in a spot-the-difference puzzle by a [[snowman]]. The [[Ragumo]] in the final chapter of this volume was heavily redesigned to look much more like Monty Mole.

 

In volume 7, Yoshi brings a lot of food products based on enemies. One of these food products is a canned Monty Mole labeled 100% Choropū Beetroot (チョロプー ビーつ 100%). A Monty Mole appears in a maze-like puzzle in which Yoshi has to eat a bunch of enemies. A Monty Mole appears in another puzzle, where they are one of the many enemies who are accused of making [[Princess Peach]] cry. In a later chapter, a Monty Mole can be seen in [[Peach's Castle]] alongside other enemies attending a party. Monty Moles make two brief appearances in the last two maze puzzles of the volume alongside other enemies.

 

In volume 9, several Monty Moles alongside other enemies appear ordering from Mario and Yoshi's cookie shop. In the following chapter, a large ominous Monty Mole can be seen in the cover for the chapter. Later on in the actual chapter, Mario pulls a [[Venus Fire Trap]] out of their pipe after defeating it, with several Monty Moles seen attached to the stem. Yoshi then proceeds to eat the Monty Moles. Lighting then hits the pipe which combines the corpses of the Venus Fire Trap along with a [[Muncher]], a [[Nipper Plant]], and a Monty Mole into creating a fusion of them known as [[Pakkun Mogura]]. Monty Moles also appear in one puzzle walking alongside other characters. In a much later chapter, a Monty Mole wearing a sun hat can be seen with Mario and his friends at the beach.

 

In volume 10, the pinball machine Roy Koopa makes Mario go through has Monty Mole bumpers. A Monty Mole also makes a cameo in a maze puzzle, with them using their ''Super Mario World'' design.

 

In volume 14, a Monty Mole is nearly eaten by Yoshi when he uses the [[Mole Tank]] to dig underground. Monty Mole's design is slightly different in this volume, with them having three hairs on their head, a rat-like nose, and short stubby claws.

 

 

In volume 18, several Monty Moles can be seen when Mario is about to throw [[Baseball (object)|baseballs]] at the targets. The Monty Moles pop out of the targets and throw the baseballs back at Mario. The Monty Moles then attempt to throw [[bomb]]s at Mario, but Mario uses his [[Bunny Mario|Bunny Ears]] from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' to throw the bombs back at the Monty Moles. This is the first volume to use the current design used in ''Super Mario-kun'' (though one Monty Mole has sunglasses in-reference to their older design from the manga).

In volume 23, a mother [[big Monty Mole]] named [[Choropūko]] and her children have a major role in a chapter. Normal Monty Moles also appear in a later chapter of the volume, were they help build Bowser an underground amusement park. Unfortunately, the amusement park would be destroyed once the cave started to collapse. Like in volume 18, both the the original design and the redesign for Monty Mole in ''Super Mario-kun'' are seen.

 

 

In volume 31, the Monty Mole from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' appears, resembling Monty Moles from the manga, but still keeping his hat from the game. During the events in [[Pinna Park]], the Monty Mole (also accompanied by a [[Swimpin' Stu]]) shoots [[Bullet Bill]]s at Yoshi and [[F.L.U.D.D.]] with his [[cannon (Super Mario Sunshine)|cannon]]. Yoshi and F.L.U.D.D. then later come back in a giant Yoshi Egg, which they roll towards the Monty Mole. The Monty Mole attempts shooting them with Bullet Bills, but the egg deflects them. The Monty Mole then attempts to throw the [[Bob-omb]]s at the egg, but Yoshi rams into the Monty Mole, causing them all to explode (though the Monty Mole is the only one defeated). Later on in [[Noki Bay]], the Monty Mole returns once again to clog the waterfall with a giant cork, just like in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. When Mario and Yoshi reach the Monty Mole, he starts shooting Bullet Bills and throwing Bob-ombs at them rapidly. Yoshi gives Mario some glue, which he uses to glue the Bob-ombs to himself. Mario then jumps towards the Monty Mole to kamikaze onto him and explode the both of them. Although the Monty Mole gets defeated from the explosion, Mario recovers from it rather quickly.

 

In volume 36, Mario can be seen playing an adaptation of [[Whack-a-Monty]] which is by [[Mario's house|his house]]. When Mario accidentally smacks Luigi, one of the Monty Moles can be seen smiling due to not getting hit.
