'''Mole Miners''' are enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They only appear in [[Crazy Cart]] and the [[Cave]] area of [[Donkey Kong Island]], but they are very common in this area. They are the ones who constructed all of the rails and [[Cart|mine cart]]s in the Cave, and they can frequently be found riding these carts. They also sometimes tie balloons to themselves so they can ride in the air. [[Mole Guard]]s are Mole Miners that throw [[Bomb (item)|Bomb]]s at the [[Kong]]s. Mole Guards are seen in a minecart on a different track than the Kongs.
'''Mole Miners''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They reside in mines and caves, where they are most often seen riding [[Mine Cart|mine carts]].


==History==
They later appear during the boss level, assisting [[Mole Miner Max]] and attempting to stop [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from reaching him but failing.  
===''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', Mole Miners only appear in [[Crazy Cart]] and the [[Cave]] area of [[Donkey Kong Island]], but they are very common in this area. Mole Miners are the ones who constructed all of the rails and mine carts in the Cave.{{ref needed}} Mole Miners frequently ride around in a mine cart, often on a separate track from [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. They have a [[Bomb (object)|bomb]]-throwing variant, [[Mole Guard]]s.


Mole Miners are weak enemies and are easy to avoid. The mine cart-riding Mole Miners do not attack the Kongs directly except for attempting to drive into them. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can avoid the Mole Miner by either jumping over or onto it. The only two mine cart levels that Mole Miners are not in are [[Roasting Rails]] and [[Prehistoric Path]]. Mole Miners often carry around an axe as its weapon.
==Appearance==
As their name suggests, they heavily resemble real moles. They are all brown in color and have pink paws. Their headlamps cover their eyes, and they appear to have freckles on the sides of their faces. They also have stubby little tails and one large tooth sticking out of their mouths.


In [[Mole Patrol]], there are Mole Miners who attach balloons to themselves to move around in the air. Their only attack is swinging a pickaxe at the Kongs. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can pop their balloon by touching it.
==Attacks==  
 
They can vandalize a wiki
Mole Miners appear during the boss level [[The Mole Train]], where they assist the boss [[Mole Miner Max]]. In a cutscene at the start, the Mole Miners are loading bananas into the Mole Train, and one is eating a sandwich that it pulled from its lunchbox. During the battle, Mole Miners throw either pickaxes or bombs at the Kongs until reaching the train, where the Mole Miners dig into the bananas and later emerge to swipe their claws around the Kongs. After doing so, the Kongs must quickly stomp on the Mole Miner to defeat it, although sometimes the Mole Miner fakes out the Kongs and immediately disappears back into the bananas. A Mole Miner sometimes drops a [[Heart (item)|Heart]] upon being defeated.
