'''Mole Hole''' is one of the stages in [[Grass Land (Patch Land)|Grass Land]] in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]''. To unlock this stage, a [[Area Patch|Mole Patch]] from [[Fangora]] must be obtained by collecting a number of [[bead]]s beyond [[Gold Medal]] qualifications. The stage revolves around the [[Digger]] Metamortex transformation, as it is covered entirely of dirty cotton representing soft ground that is capable of being drilled. Kirby uses the Digger until the end of the stage, where the first and last parts are the only parts where he is normal. Beads are collected by digging to them in the soil, although most cannot be seen until obtained. [[Kirby]] can also destroy rocks to reveal parts he can go behind the fabric foreground to collect even more beads and other treasures such as the Carrot Dresser, Tree Stump Bed, and Mole Hole music. The stage has fire lizards, [[Candlemander]]s, that crawl around and attacd Kirby, causing him to lose beads. Other than them, and a single [[Gator]] this stage has no enemies to hinder Kirby. Candlemanders can be destroyed by dropping [[Cloth Block]]s on them.
'''Mole Hole''' the sixth of the seven stages in [[Grass Land (Kirby's Epic Yarn)|Grass Land]] in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'', and is the first EX stage. This stage first introduces the [[Digger]] [[Metamortex]] transformation, as Kirby tunnels through the ground beneath Grass Land. To unlock this stage, a [[Area Patch|Mole Patch]] from [[Fangora]] must be obtained by collecting at least 1100 beads during the fight.

==Overview==
The stage revolves around the Digger Metamortex transformation, as it is covered entirely in soft soil (in the form of dirty cotton) that is capable of being drilled. Kirby uses the Digger until the end of the stage, starting at the surface (near a vegetable patch) and eventually reaching the [[Reel Gate]] deep underground. As he descends, [[Bead|beads]] can be found in the soil, often hidden behind it.

Mole Hole the sixth of the seven stages in Grass Land in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, and is the first EX stage. This stage first introduces the Digger Metamortex transformation, as Kirby tunnels through the ground beneath Grass Land. To unlock this stage, a Mole Patch from Fangora must be obtained by collecting at least 1100 beads during the fight.

Upon clearing the stage for the first time, the Firecracker Patch is obtained, allowing access to the next level, Weird Woods.

Patch animation[edit]

After throwing the Mole Patch, it settles into a dedicated slot and an animation of a mole digging away brown wool below the level. The yarn above it falls down, giving access to the door.

Overview[edit]

The stage revolves around the Digger Metamortex transformation, as it is covered entirely in soft soil (in the form of dirty cotton) that is capable of being drilled. Kirby uses the Digger until the end of the stage, starting at the surface (near a vegetable patch) and eventually reaching the Reel Gate deep underground. As he descends, beads can be found in the soil, often hidden behind it.

Following a trail of beads in the dirt

Kirby must be careful when digging, particularly around Denim Blocks, as these can crush him if he isn't careful. However, if used carefully, they can dispatch the various Candlemanders that crawl around and provide access to alternate paths. Along the way, Kirby encounters large, purple rocks which hide doors behind them, leading to treasures and more beads. If Kirby clears away much of the soft soil, he can find artwork showing Prince Fluff- and Cappy-looking individuals collecting and cooking food.
