- Mole Miner Max redirects here.
Template:Character-infobox The Mole Train is the fourth boss in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. It's a giant mechanized drill train led by Mole Miner Max and his army of Mole Miners. It is the boss of the Cave area. The Mole Miners are seen putting bananas from Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's Banana Hoard into carts. However, one of the Tikis hypnotizes Mole Miner Max, who starts the train is.
Appearance
The Mole Train is a five-cart metal train. It has a drill in the front where Max operates it. The five carts have numerous Mole Miners hiding inside of the cargo.
Attacks
Most of the boss battles takes place on a small minecart. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will have to avoid the pickaxes thrown by the Mole Miners. Depending on how high or low they are thrown, Donkey and Diddy can just duck or jump. While on the cargo, the moles will attack by hiding in the bananas and then popping up in a random area. However, the moles can easily be detected by the pile of bananas shaking right before the mole pops out. Mole Miner Max uses the same tactic except his attacks or more unpredictable and his pickaxes are much larger and harder to dodge.
Combat
Template:Spoiler
To defeat the Mole Train, Donkey and Diddy will need to defeat the three sets of Mole Miners by just simply jumping on them. After the three sets of moles are defeated, Donkey and Diddy Kong will fight Max. After Max has been hit four times, he will be defeated.
