Editing Mole Miner Max

|latest_appearance=''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' ([[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] cameo) ([[List of games by date#2014|2014]])

'''Mole Miner Max''' is the fourth boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. He and his army of Mole Miners are the bosses of the [[Cave]] world. When first encountered, Mole Miner Max's minions are seen loading the [[Mine Cart]]s up with [[banana]]s from [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[banana hoard|hoard]]. Max himself is seen sleeping in the cab of [[Train (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|his train]] before he is hypnotized by [[Tiki Tak Tribe|Banjo Bottom]], forcing him to start up the train and drive off with the bananas.

During battle, his weapon of choice is a pickaxe, much like most Mole Miners. He uses the same fighting style as his minions; however, he is a bit faster than them, and his attacks are more unpredictable. Sometimes, he will throw his pickaxe at the [[Kong]]s; other times, he simply swings it at them but will not throw it. After Mole Miner Max has been defeated, the train starts slowing down and stops short at the edge of the cliff.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Mole Miner Max makes a minor appearance as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]. His trophy has his eyes fully visible, confirming their appearance in the game's concept art.

Max is about three times larger than his minions. Like the other moles, Max wears a hardhat with a headlamp on it. However, unlike them, he wears an orange and yellow miner's vest. Max also has a single big tooth hanging out of his mouth and freckles on both cheeks. His concept artwork depicts him with red eyes and black pupils, unlike his minions, whose small black eyes are covered by their helmets. He is about the same in color as other mole miners, though his fur is slightly darker.

|''The Mole Train travels through the Cave area. It's generally a hardworking train, but Banjo Tiki sends it speeding down the track. Chase after it using the separated carts, all while dodging the pickaxes thrown by the hypnotized Mole Miners. Defeat those critters when you get a chance!''

|''Hypnotised by Banjo Bottom, Mole Miner Max and his workers use the Mole Train and its carts to move massive amounts of bananas around. When a tie-wearing gorilla shows up to put a stop to the Tiki Tak Tribe's plans, though, Banjo Bottom uses the train to try and escape. Whack those moles and take out Banjo Bottom!''
