'''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]].
 
'''Mole Miners'''<ref>"Boss Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref> (also simply known as '''Moles'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide, 2010, p. 26</ref>) are enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''.
 
As their name suggests, Mole Miners are based on real world {{wp|mole}}s. Every Mole Miner is brown, has pink paws, and wear a headlamp which covers their eyes. They appear to have freckles on the sides of their faces. Mole Miners have a stubby tail and a large bucktooth sticking out of their mouth. One of Cranky Kong's lines in the game suggests that they're blind, much like real-life moles. They also have a [[Bomb (object)|bomb]]-throwing variant, [[Mole Guard]]s.

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.
