Monty Moles (also known as Gophers in the cartoons) are surly moles that appear in several Mario games, including a few sides rollers such as Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They later reappear in Super Mario 64, Paper Mario and other recent titles. In these games, Monty Moles are generally cowards who throw rocks at Mario and will then burrow underground before Mario can attack them.
