| - The Mole Cricket is the first enemy in Mother 3. Found first at Mt. Oriander, and then makes its second appearance in the Mole Cricket Hole six chapters later in the game. The mole cricket deals light damage in both its appearances; it is not bad by nature, but always looking for a challenge. In his second appearance, he will deal only one damage and can be defeated in one hit with PK Love. The background seen during the battles against the Mole Cricket is similar to the background used during the battles against the sanctuary guardians in EarthBound.
- During the prologue, when Lucas and Claus are play-fighting with a family of Dragos, the Mole Cricket shows up and attacks them both. Luckily, though, they defeat the Mole Cricket without too much trouble. Afterward, he offers to personally train Lucas before saying the next time they'll meet will be in the "Mole Cricket Hole Stadium". When he flies off, there is a stomping noise, then Hinawa shows up, saying she just stepped a mole cricket, though she hopes it's alright. The game designer, Shigesato Itoi, stated this was a reference to Buzz Buzz, another insect character who appeared early in EarthBound but was killed by Porky Minch's mom.
