Monty Moles in Super Mario World.

Monty Moles (Choropoo in Japan) are a fictional species of mole, found in many video games featuring Mario. They are characterized by hiding and waiting for Mario to pass by, and then attempting to attack Mario by jumping on his head or throwing projectiles at him. Monty Moles appear in several Mario games in varying forms. Monty makes his first appearance as a playable character in Mario Superstar Baseball. They apparently have an odd fascination for explosives, because many Monty Moles pilot cannons or tanks. He has only been playable in a game twice. His characterization mostly consists of speed along with power whenever he's playable. Image File history File links Monty_mole. ... Image File history File links Monty_mole. ...
