'''Presenters''' (generically referred to in English guides as "'''moles'''"<ref>Thomason, Steve. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide. Pages 76, 94, 101, 103, 113.</ref><ref>Stratton, Stephen, and Levi Buchanan. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pages 106, 137, 138, 139.</ref>) are a friendly species of [[Monty Mole]] featured in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Presenters are yellow moles who heavily resemble [[Mega Mole]]s that wear a red bowtie. Presenters are usually hidden in various locations, usually in a hidden area or after aan optional hidden platforming challenge. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] find a Presenter, they usually give the Bros. either an item, a piece of clothing, or a badge. Talking to a Presenter after getting their item will result in them telling the Mario Bros. that they are greedy, and that they cannot receive any more items. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]'', Presenters were replaced with bowtie wearing Monty Moles, as it was confirmed by [[Play Nintendo]].<ref>https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mario-luigi-superstar-saga-bowsers-minions-tips-tricks/</ref>

==Locations==
There are 11 Presenters in the original ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', with bowtie wearing Monty Moles replacing them in the 3DS remake. Though the Monty Moles share the same locations as Presenters did in the original, the Monty Moles can give different items to that of the Presenters from the original. Both the Presenters in the original and the Monty Moles in the remake can be found in the following locations:

==Notes==
{{footnote|note|1|GBA refers to items that are given by the Presenters from the original game.}}
{{footnote|note|2|3DS refers to the items given by the bowtie wearing Monty Moles from the 3DS remake which replaced the Presenters from the original game.}}
 
==Trivia==
*In the section talking about the Presenter in Joke’sJoke's End from the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guidebook, it explicitly makes a reference to real worldlife moles.<ref>"We wish moles in the real world were as generous (and wore the same cool shades) as the ones in the game." - ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide page 103.</ref>
*Despite Presenters not reappearing in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the standard Monty Moles that replaced them would be referred to as Presenter in the game's files.<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' internal filename (<tt>content0.game/romfs/Obj/FChr.dat/_CA_INFO_/f_presenter</tt>)</ref> This likely suggests that Presenters were initially planned to return in the remake, but were later replaced with standard Monty Moles at some point during development.
