Monty Mole Swooper

Monty Mole Swoopers are Monty Moles fused with Swoopers that appear in volume 5 of Super Mario-kun. They mostly look like Monty Moles, but their arms are replaced with the wings of the Swoopers. Their design when eating the mushroom gives them a mushroom on their head, but their belly pattern and the claws on their feet are removed.

After Luigi knocks Mario into the Monty Moles, the Monty Moles call in a group of Swoopers to fuse with them. They quickly eat Mario (who was a mushroom for the majority of the volume), turning him back to normal but giving them the powers of the mushroom instead. They then call in the cow and pig to ram into Mario, Luigi and Yoshi. Mario then sees a Rotating Block and hits it, only to be disappointed that it contained a single coin. He quickly realizes that the Monty Mole Swoopers hate the light that the coin emits, so Mario and his friends gather a number of coins to defeat the Monty Mole Swoopers. The Monty Mole Swoopers are backed into a corner before they forfeit the battle. They then tell Mario where the pipe to Bowser's Castle is.
