—Pa Mole, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Ma Mole and Pa Mole (formatted as Ma'Mole and Pa'Mole in the original game) are the mother and father of Dyna and Mite, two young moles that Mario must rescue in the Mole Mines during his adventures in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Ma Mole waits at their house while Mario rescues Pa Mole, Dyna, and Mite. At first, she opposes Pa Mole to go into the cave, but eventually she is convinced to leave. Pa Mole is first found in the cave, trying to dig through or find another entrance. He sees Mario and gives him a lift up to get through. After Dyna and Mite are rescued, Ma Mole spends her days at the house, thankful for her children to be safe. Pa Mole spends his days working in the mines with other moles. If Mario talks to him or any of his crew, they will sing the Moleville Blues for him.
