| | [[File:Megamolessm3dland.png|thumb|left|Mario stomping on a Morty Mole.]] |
| [[File:Megamolessm3dland.png|thumb|left|Mario stomping on a Morty Mole]] | | Morty Moles inhabit cave levels such as World 5-4 and 7-4 along with Monty Moles. They are defeated by two stomps on the head, similar to a [[Rex]], and after [[Mario]] stomps one once, the mole gets shorter and faster; on the second stomp, the mole is defeated. A ground pound will defeat them in one hit. However, if they manage to hit Mario while they are short, they will grow back to regular size. When defeated, Morty Moles will sometimes give [[Super Mushroom]]s. |
| In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Morty Moles are fought similarly to [[Rex]]es; they get shorter and faster after the first stomp, and are defeated on the second stomp. However, they will revert back to their regular size if they manage to hit Mario while they are short, or after a short time. A [[Ground Pound]] will defeat them in one hit. When defeated, Morty Moles will sometimes give [[Super Mushroom]]s. Morty Moles inhabit narrow tunnels in levels such as [[World 5-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-4]] and [[World 7-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|7-4]] along with Monty Moles in the former.

| Morty Mole has made appearances in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. They are shown to be more aggressive than in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. They also have constant open eyes (like Monty Moles after volume 18) and more muscular arms.
| |
| | |
| In volume 45, what appears to be the face of a Morty Mole can be seen on [[Choropū the Picasso]]'s Road Roller.
| |
| | |
| In volume 46, a Morty Mole is the main antagonist of a chapter. The Morty Mole starts destroying the Mogura Matsuri and attacks Mario. After Mario puts on the ancient Monty Mole knight armor given by [[Pūko]] and attempts to hide in a [[barrel]], he continues to be attacked by the Morty Mole. After [[Luigi]] wins two [[Statue Leaf|Statue Leaves]] from a raffle, the Morty Mole attempts to attack Mario and Luigi, but they counterattack the Morty Mole in their Statue forms and defeat it, saving the Mogura Matsuri.
| |
| | |
| In volume 47, a Morty Mole can be seen laughing at [[Yoshi]] amongst other enemies in the [[Screwtop Tower]].

| | [[Category:Enemies]] |
| *In the files for ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Morty Mole is labeled as "Indy", which is the Japanese name for [[Mega Mole]]; however, it is unknown if Morty Moles are intended to be redesigned Mega Moles or were merely based on them during development, as the only other connection between the two is a shared Spanish name in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]''
