In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Moley is found in [[Cabbage Cavern]], where he guards the [[Mirror Shard]]. Moley hides in six holes (three on the ceiling and three on the ground) and periodically pops out of a random one, sending junk everywhere as his main attack. 

Some of the junk gives a [[Copy Ability]] when inhaled and swallowed, while some do not. The following lists every kind of junk he throws (with yielding Copy Ability if any in the brackets):
*Fiery steel drum ([[Burning]])
*Spike ball ([[Cutter]])
*Tire ([[Wheel]])
*Big rock ([[Stone]])
*Small rock
*Screw

Moley has 80 [[HP]] (a [[Star Bullet]] does 10).

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
{{Quote|You're going to bump into Moley in some underground caves. That burly guy has some mean little henchmen. One of them wears a spiked helmet. Don't go near those spikes!|[[Daroach]], in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''}}
In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', Moley is the mini-boss of the sixth stage of [[Green Grounds]]. The fight with him has 3 phases. In the first phase, [[Kirby]] must defeat the 4 [[Mogmole]]s that appear. In the second phase, four additional moles will appear; however, two will be [[Helmetmole|wearing spiked helmets]] and can't be harmed. Kirby must first defeat the two moles lacking helmets, to make the other two appear without their helmets, and become vulnerable. In the final phase, Moley himself appears, accompanied by two smaller moles, both wearing spiked helmets. Kirby must defeat Moley to win the battle. When defeated, Moley is pulled out of his hole, revealing his bottom half.

Moley also appears in the [[Sub-Game]] [[Field Frenzy]].

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Moley appears as a [[smashwiki:Spirit|Support Spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', using his ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' artwork. He is ranked ★ Novice, costs 1 slot and has the skill of equpping the fighter with a [[smashwiki:Drill|Drill]].

== Trivia ==
*In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', a boss named [[Mrs. Moley]] appears, who looks and behaves similarly to Moley. In a [[Dedede Directory]] post about the two, it was confirmed that they are a couple.<ref>{{cite|モーリィは『鏡の大迷宮』と『あつめて！カービィ』で、その'''嫁さん'''のミセス・モーリィは『参上！ドロッチェ団』で登場したな。|King Dedede|[https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1425290925283049474 Dedede Directory about Moley and Mrs. Moley]}} (Translation: ''Moley appeared in Amazing Mirror and Mass Attack, while '''his wife''', Mrs. Moley, appeared in Squeak Squad.'')</ref>
