Late risers

Moles that pop up in empty holes just before the strike, marked three rows ahead.

From the second arc (and always in Endless) the machine adapts to how easily you are winning. When a row is three rows from the line, up to two of its empty holes (never in the column of a special) can be marked with a dirt mound or a grey pebble.

When the row is one step from the line, a normal mole pops out of each marked hole, sometimes with a helmet or a stone shell. Read the marks and keep a hand free for them. Late risers never appear during the boss fight.
