The Chitei Kaijū Indy is a giant Mega Mole robot sent by Bowser to destroy Sarasaland in Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 7 of the Super Mario Kodansha manga.

To get revenge on the children that left him struggling on his back years ago, Bowser creates many robotic kaiju to use against them, being Mario, Peach, and Daisy. Chitei Kaijū Indy is the last one sent to Sarasaland. Before sending it, Bowser and a Ninji study Super Mario Great's moves and tactics, before realizing that he can only be active for three minutes, as symbolized by a beeping light in Great's hat before the three minutes are up, causing him to disappear. Understanding that, if he is active for more than three minutes, something bad will happen, Bowser orders the Ninji to instruct the Chitei Kaijū Indy to keep Great occupied for three minutes, and then strike him down.

While the Chitei Kaijū Indy wreaks havoc on Sarasaland, Luigi accidentally activates the Henshin Capsule, turning himself into Great. Ninji and the Chitei Kaijū Indy manage to distract "Great" by burrowing in the ground for three minutes and, distracted by the warning beep, Luigi is then kicked into the ocean, where the consequences of the time up are revealed: he becomes encased in a cross-shaped crystal. While Mario goes to save him, the Ninji tries to snatch Peach and Daisy, but is unable to, so the Chitei Kaijū Indy grabs them and stores them in its mouth.

After Mario saves Luigi, retrieves the Henshin Capsule, and becomes Cape Mario Great, he removes the Chitei Kaijū Indy's sunglasses with a Spin Attack and, while the Mole is blinded by the sunlight, uses the sunglasses' x-ray vision to check where the princesses are and, with Manteau Cutter, slice the Chitei Kaijū Indy in half, defeating it, but the princesses are snatched by Bowser.
