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 Carts up with bananas from Donkey Kong's hoard. Max himself is seen in the cab of his train before he is hypnotized by Banjo Bottom, forcing him to start up the train and drive off with the bananas.
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.
Mole Miner Max is the only boss in Donkey Kong Country Returns whom the player does not directly face upon entering a boss level. Instead, one must get through a group of generic enemies before actually squaring off against him. 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 Kongs; 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, there is a trophy of Mole Miner Max, showing his eyes fully visible, confirming their appearance in the game's concept art.
