| |first_appearance=''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' ([[List of games by date#1995|1995]]) | | Hard Hat is encountered in ''Donkey Kong Land's'' third area, [[Monkey Mountains]]/[[Chimpanzee Clouds]]. The fight against Hard Hat, is perhaps intentionally similar to a game of Whack-a-Mole; Hard Hat will pop out of one of three holes and try to throw his hat at either [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], and whichever [[Kong]] is currently being used must avoid this attack and bash Hard Hat on the head while his hat is off. After being hit repeatedly Hard Hat will begin attacking faster, though after a few more hits he will be defeated. |

| '''Hard Hat''', also known as '''Buroughs''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 69|page=92|date=February 1995|quote=Don't rile Buroughs! When he's angry, he's apt to rip off his hard hat and throw it at you. This mad mole is likely to be a major pain.|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a mole wearing a yellow miner helmet and the third boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. He is fought in the level [[Mad Mole Holes]] of [[Monkey Mountains & Chimpanzee Clouds]]. Similarly to a game of {{wp|Whac-A-Mole}}, Hard Hat pops out from one of three holes and tries throwing his hat at [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]. The active [[Kong]] must jump over his hat and jump on Hard Hat's head before he regains his hat. Hard Hat throws his hat quicker after a couple of hits, and after taking eight hits, Hard Hat is defeated. | |

| Hard Hat may have been derived from an unused [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]] named "Miney" in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.<ref>{{file link|DKC general naming.jpg|Early DKC general naming sheet}}</ref>

| In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 15|volume 15]], Hard Hat is the only boss from ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' to appear, but not the sole enemy, as the [[Hogwash the Flying Pig|Hogwashes]] appeared in the previous chapter. In chapter 6, [[Mario]] is turned into a [[Baby Mario|baby]] by a de-aging gas. A [[Message Block]] states that the moles have a potion to remedy that when Hard Hat appears. When he refuses to give his potion, [[Yoshi]] and the [[Kong]]s chase him with the [[Mole Tank]], but he uses the potion on himself, becoming big and trapping DK and Diddy Kong under his helmet. While going after Yoshi, he trips and Baby Mario is sent towards a [[POW Block]] which he hits, turning Hard Hat into a series of [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Stars]], defeating him. With what is left of the potion, Mario is turned back to his normal age.
