==History==
===Donkey Kong Country Returns===
Mole Miner Max appears as a boss in Donkey Kong Country Returns, being the boss in the game's fourth world, battled in the level The Mole Train. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong see Mole Miners loading bananas onto the train until Banjo Bottom notices them. He blows on the train's whistle, calling all Mole Miners to hop on board. He then hypnotizes Mole Miner Max, who is asleep, to start the train and ride away. The Kongs then chase them on a lone train car.
While on the train car, the Kongs must dodge pickaxes thrown by a Mole Miner from the train. After awhile, their car speeds up and connects with the train, though Mole Miner Max disconnects from it. The Kongs must them avoid the Mole Miners that burrow from underneath them, then hit them on the head. After some are defeated, the train cars fall of the track one by one, and the Kongs must stay on the one that's stable. If they take too long, the Mole Train appears and takes them out with its drill. After this is done three more times, Mole Miner Max himself is battled.
Like the Mole Miners, he will burrow out of the ground below the Kongs, and attack by throwing a pickaxe at them. They must hit him on the head before he goes back underground, and after four hits, he is defeated.
Once defeated, the Kongs beat up Mole Miner Max and throw him into the train's controls, breaking them. The Mole Train is then about to go off the rains, but stops just before it can fall off. Banjo Bottom then appears dizzy, and Donkey Kong punches him multiple times before sending him away.
