Attention, Mole Maniacs! Everyone’s favorite mole is making an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as a Spirit! This is his first appearance since the original game... over 22 years prior to Ultimate’s release! Let’s hope we don’t have to wait that long for the next one!

None of this would be possible without the support of the billions of Muddy Mole fans around the world, lending their collective energies to make this a reality. Give yourself a pat on the back!

Muddy Mole, Mole Mania, Game Boy

This awesome puzzler just came out on the 3DS Virtual Console today! It’s probably Miyamoto’s least famous creation, but that doesn’t mean it’s not of the same quality as his other games! I recommend it!

BUY A PRINT OF THIS CHARACTER!

It's about time I drew this COOL GUY again. With a sign just in case you didn't know that he is, in fact, a cool guy. The coolest of guys, actually.

I finally finished Mole Mania... such a wonderful game. Jinbe was infuriating, but I made it. I think it's safe to say this is my favorite game. I just wish more people would play it...

[molemaniaisswell]

Grandpa Mole avoided Jinbe's wrath by hiding behind a tree. He provides his son (in law?) with crucial advice, as well as with hearts to replenish his health. He can be rather easily annoyed, though, so Muddy better stay on his good side...

Jinbe, the maniacal farmer who kidnaps Muddy’s family. He commands a zany cast of minions who are no match for Muddy, but Jinbe himself is quite a formidable foe. Like, REALLY formidable. Dang.

Ok, so this one is a little bit hard to see (get it, because he wears glasses!) but Muddy Mole would be a fun add to Smash Bros. His moveset is a bit tricky to figure but I imagine it would involve a hell of a lot of digging. He is also another creation albeit not a famous one of Miyamoto - so that has to count for something.

Also he is really cute! And he is just trying to save his family! You gotta respect that!

Here's my idea for a Muddy Mole reveal trailer...

Muddy Mole reveal trailer Kirby, Yoshi, and Pac-Man are having a picnic in Acorn Plains. As they're about to eat, the ground begins to shake. They look around, confused, and then continue eating. Then, a small clawed brown arm pops out of the ground and feels around a bit. One of the characters goes to inspect it, and it pulls back underground. As everyone is gathered around that spot, another pair of arms emerges and snatches some food, pulling it underground. The three turn toward the sound of it, and a frantic version of the Mole Mania theme plays as this quickly happens again and again. Finally, they zero on a spot of shaking dirt. They gather around, Kirby readying his hammer. A baby mole pops out, and the three seem relieved and delighted at the sight of it. The other babies emerge and start giggling. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking again. A larger mole jumps out and lands with his back to the camera. He turns around, and his sunglasses shine in the sun. MUDDY MOLE GETS DOWN AND DIRTY The baby moles all flock toward Muddy, who counts them and then looks around as if missing one. The final baby pops put of the ground behind Muddy and tackles him, causing him to fall forward and his sunglasses to fall off. And then everyone has a good laugh or something. The little clip after the montage has one of the babies returning a dirt-covered piece of cake to Pac-Man with a sheepish expression on its face, and Pac smiles and pats the baby on the head.
