'''Mole Patrol''' is the twenty-sixth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports, as well as the fourth level of the [[Cave]] world. The [[Kong]]s can only access the level by buying a [[Map Key]] from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]].
'''Mole Patrol''' is the twenty-sixth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and the fourth level of the [[Cave]] world. The [[Kong]]s can only access the level by buying a [[Map Key]] from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]].  


Mole Patrol takes place in a cave, where [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must ride in a [[Rocket Barrel]] to move over abysses, rocks, and an expansive body of water. There are 23 [[Mole Miner]]s in the level, as the main and only enemies. Mole Miners attack by swinging their axes and breaking crystals, attempting to hit the [[Kong]]s with both. The [[Mole Train]] rolls ahead of the Kongs throughout the level, releasing flying Mole Miners along Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's path. The Kongs can defeat flying Mole Miners by riding into their balloon. There are [[banana]] trails throughout the level to guide the Kongs.

There is a train that follows the Kongs through the level, releasing more Mole Miners along Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's path. The Kongs can defeat Mole Miners by riding into their balloon, and there is one case where it is required to acquire a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]]. There are [[banana]] trails throughout the level to guide the Kongs.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode of the game, a time of 1:31:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:33:00 for silver, and a time of 1:39:00 for bronze.

The level begins with a straight pathway in the mines leading to a Rocket Barrel. When the barrel is fired up, it begins to fly towards some trails of [[banana]]s that lead above and under a few walls. Mole enemies are on the rock ground below the Kongs and on the solid ceiling above them, jumping into their hiding places. After the primates ride over some water in a wide area, they come up to the letter K of the [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]] and another trail of bananas. Eventually, the heroes are attacked by the moles, who begin to wave their axes at them from higher areas and from on the rocky ceiling. After the Kongs pass a group of four consecutive mole foes, The Mole Train bursts out of a blocked off tunnel in the background. As the train catches up to the Kongs, a mole attached to balloons attacks them. It floats in the center of the screen while waving its axe. Crystals hanging on the ceiling ahead also begin to fall on the Kongs, due to moles hitting them with their tools. When the group passes four of these fallen crystals through a narrow passage, two more moles suspended by balloons get in their way. After them is a trail of bananas leading above a few stone, tower-like structures. The letter O is above on of these rock towers. The [[Professor Chops|Tutorial Pig]] follows this area on a raised piece of land, marking the checkpoint.

The Mole Train is in view again at this point. Two moles floating with balloons on their back attack the Kongs in a wide area. In the area after this, the train track begins to move into the foreground and loops around the Kongs. As the train rides over this, it drops moles suspended by balloons, who wave their axes at the primates. Eventually, the train track stops looping, so the Mole Train is sent into a rock wall. Right before this slightly above water is the letter N. The train engine, sans its carts, grinds through the wall, creating a narrow path for the heroes to travel through. It starts moving gently downward but reverses at screen edges. It reverses a total of five times, moving more steeply for the after the second reversal. On the other side of the rock wall, the train's engine is launched into the air and breaks upon landing again. This dislodges the crystals that are ahead, making their lower portions fall. The Kongs must ride between the crystal parts, coming up to the letter G on the way. After passing four crystals that are placed close to each other, the Rocket Barrel sputters before crashing on the ground, safely dropping the Kongs on a platform with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]].
The train from the background is in view again at this point. Two moles floating with balloons on their back attack the Kongs in a wide area. In the area after this, the train track begins to move into the foreground and loops around the Kongs. As the train rides over this, it drops moles suspended by balloons, who wave their axes at the primates. Eventually, the train track stops looping and then drills through a large rock wall. Right before this slightly above water is the letter N. The train grinds through the rock wall, creating a narrow path for it and the heroes to travel through. When the Kongs finish following the train through the passage, it crashes and is destroyed. Crystals that fall by themselves are ahead. The Kongs must ride between the crystal parts, coming up to the letter G on the way. After passing four crystals that are placed close to each other, the Rocket Barrel explodes, while safely dropping the Kongs on a platform with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] on it. If they hit this barrel, the level is complete.
