** ''[[Super Mario RPG]]: Legend of the Seven Stars''. Pipe Vault. Whack-a-Goomba minigame.
** In ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigis Mansion]]'', Luigi has to win a "[[An Ice Person|Freeze]]-a-Jarvis" game before he can catch Jarvis.
** In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' there is a Whack-a-Monty! minigame.
** In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Roy Koopa's battle in the world 2 castle is an inverted version of this, with him moving around via pipes on the ceiling and dropping down to attack. You have to jump just before he hits the ground to avoid the shockwave, and then jump on him, otherwise he blasts Mario with magic while Mario can't run or dodge.
* Some mole noises in ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' have the ability of digging away and pop up in either of the two screens. Normally it changes screens when you manage hit him before it leaves a bomb and hides again.
* The Super Scope game ''Mole Patrol''.
Line 33:
* You don't really find any holes for them in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', but when those black Antlions ''do'' pop up, they hurt like hell. They also stay above ground after the ambush. The brown Antlions always stay above ground, however. Of course, the game also has worms, which only move through popping in and out of the ground.
* Traditionally, the first form of Dracula in most of the 2D [[Castlevania]] games is an example of a teleporting mole.
* Mission 23 of ''[[Magical Battle Arena]]'', where an infinite number of [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Gadget Drones]] pop in and out of the [[Shifting Sand Land|sand]] and you have to see how many you can smash before the time is up. [[Drop the Hammer|Naturally]], you control [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Vita]] for this mission.
* In ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', it's revealed that Eggman has a whack-a-Sonic game. Amy has to beat the high score to unlock the prison door.
* One of the best NES Powerpad games was essentially whack-a-mole with a different skin. In ''Eggsplode'', you were a dog who had to protect a hen house from foxes that would try to blow up the chickens with a bomb (awesome, I know!). Points for stepping on the Powerpad where a bomb was, loss of life for stepping on a chicken that had laid an egg. Came as a multi-cart with ''Short Order''.
