Monty Mole

Monty Mole is one of the characters in the Mario series. This mole tends to make its home underground. In most of the games in the Mario Party series, when Monty sticks its head out, Mario or one of his friends hits it on the head with a hammer. Monty Moles have even been made obstacles in the series and usually must be cleared by still whacking them on the head. Monty Mole has also appeared in Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Super Sluggers, and as one of the obstacles in the Mario Kart series. In Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers, Monty is one of the speedy players in both games, but is an unlockable character in Mario Superstar Baseball. The player must unlock Monty Mole in Mario Superstar Baseball by clearing the Challenge mode as Mario. In Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart DS, Monty Mole served as an obstacle that makes the player spin out of control if they run into Monty.
