When I first saw the intro animation, my mind was racing as to how a minecart boss would play out. It's not as cool as I imagined, but that intro manages to feel every bit awesome for prepping to get on a minecart and filling me with ideas ☺️
I feel like the tikis don’t wanna hurt anyone. They need bananas to keep their species from completely dying. But DK wants to get their bananas back, so they hypnotize animals with music to help them transfer the bananas to tiki tong. That’s my theory.
I died plenty of times in this level, but this game sure is awesome. Whacking moles are alot more fun than wacking a weasel in a carnival. Great gameplay.
"This boss was a pain." Understatement. This boss is bullshit, especially on Mirror Mode. Try that Texas Dodge'em to Whack-a-Mole motherfuckery with only one heart and no buddy!
One thing I ought to mention is that when your mine cart connects with the other four you are only given about 25 seconds to defeat the moles in the carts, after that, three Mole Miners on another train will appear and try to run over the carts with its drill, easily taking out Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, It happened to me before when I played this level. th-cam.com/video/x5LFlWdnKp8/w-d-xo.html
The trick to mole train is to Kong Roll when the train is heading downhill, so that way you can get on the other 4 carts and defeat the mole throwing pickaxes ⛏ at you.
I rented it from the library *all the time* when I was a little tike. Started playing it when I was 7, beat it when I was 11, got to the Golden Temple when I was 14. Comments on its difficulty aside, I miss it too. It has so much charm, blending realism and its cartoony aspects together.
@@bluebaron6811 you just unlocked another memory of young me having to rent most of my games. mom would occasionally take me to blockbuster to rent a DS game or a Wii game for 24 hours or so.
This is my absolute favorite boss. Plus, it's the first time in Donkey Kong Country History to have a vehicle chase the boss (and it's a mine cart, SCORE!). The tiki in this lvl, I think, is the most twisted looking among them all. Now this lvl makes me want a mole train, and a mine to drive it through (with no dead ends of course).
Gotta feel bad for the miners and their boss as they were just trying to protect themselves. They also seem unaware that their leader was hypnotised and that DK just wanted back the bananas
0:25 get inside the carts and act like moles! 0:27 we won't do the last part but okay. 0:31 i found it! you found your pet? no my little banjo! (starts playing) 0:34 i hear a banjo... i think i will go for a train ride! 0:43 getbackhere!!
Super easy short cut, if you have diddy on your back, which you will, obviously, just roll and jump, then use his jetpack to land on the mole train instead of dodging the pick axes over and over again.
In this world when you die, the screen closes up showing a silhouette of Banjo tiki. Anyone else notice that the banjo tiki's silhouette looks a lot like Moar Krabs?
This is gonna take about 3 minutes to complete this boss. What if this roller coaster at 2 minutes 53 seconds should be a level? Like it’ll include a couple checkpoints, bananas and some platforms as well!
Not gonna lie, I beat this on my first try when my Mom and Cousins were having trouble with this. I even said "I'm sorry, this is hard? This is what you guys were having trouble with for the past hour? Seriously?" To make it better, I did it without losing a single heart. And I was 11 at the time.
You know what's actually hard?! The stupid temple lvl in world five at least the others so far have been beatable with practice but this one is impossible to play(especially when you are going for all the puzzle pieces). It the reason why I still haven't started world six yet(cause I'm an OCD person ;p lol).
In that Case Mole Miner Max's voice actor is also Grant Kirkhope. Though japanese voice actors like Takashi Nagasato did the voice for male characters in this game. So Max was voiced by Takashi in my thought.
It’s a good job 👏 the the brakes activated when mole miner max hit the locomotive 🚂 or they would have gone off the tracks an into the pit. The drill must have also provided extra braking when it came off of the locomotive 🚂. By the way, how do you think 💭 the brakes activated when mole miner max hit the locomotive 🚂?
I really think The Mole Train should be a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. :)
James Rimmer or smash bros ultimate
They have toon link train in ultimate
Agree :D
Sure
Yeah
Any other protagonist when someone gets hypnotized or possessed: oh my god we have to save them
Donkey Kong: "so you have chosen, death."
Rip every enemy non-tiki enemy or boss.
They're knocked out tho
@@DiegoHernandez-yq3hb no there dead I saw
@@spongeOfMystery4 they're
I like how in the intro cutscene, the mere touch of Donkey Kong causes the mine cart to hastily accelerate along the track.
Here's my story:
Tried this on Mirror Mode
Died 48 times
Gave up
Ragnar Ahlman
Out of all the bosses I faced in mirror mode in this game.
This one is the hardest
Ragnar Ahlman NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
Keep practicing
I was just about to comment this but it's at the top of the comments.
Until now!
I feel bad for all the innocent animals caught up in donkey kong's rampage
Maybe they would've helped Donkey Kong To defeat Tiki Tong at the end of the game. That would've make the game much better.
I hated this boss with passion...especially on Mirror Mode...
I know what you mean... It took me 300 tries in Mirror Mode before beating it, and I'm not joking
On mirror mode you must have incredible luck to beat it
...i beated him second try on Mirror Mode..
0:35 dramatic mole
It's very creepy…
MagicalMax Not really. Looks like me when food is ready.
@@tumadre2205 when pizza rolls done
The sound effects the moles make when they pop out of the minecarts is reused as Nabbit’s voice in new super Mario bros u and New Super Luigi U.
you can just do a Roll jump instead of waiting to get closer I've tried it
It ruins the magic...
It’s hard, but possible.
Thatpinkbunnygirl AJ if you don’t feel confident doing the jump on flat ground wait until the rails slant downwards, it gets easier.
I love this boss and the music
When I first saw the intro animation, my mind was racing as to how a minecart boss would play out. It's not as cool as I imagined, but that intro manages to feel every bit awesome for prepping to get on a minecart and filling me with ideas ☺️
If You get hit by pickaxes or bombs while you're in minecart chase. The Big Mole (Mole Miner Max) Laughs at you.
Anyone else find the moles adorable?
This boss has the best death animation...ever
It's sad the animals are hypnotized. Even the bosses are actually nice.
Ken and Stephanie Pierce mind controlled just like society
I feel like the tikis don’t wanna hurt anyone. They need bananas to keep their species from completely dying. But DK wants to get their bananas back, so they hypnotize animals with music to help them transfer the bananas to tiki tong. That’s my theory.
Hey, none of the animals actually die, so that's good.
@@DeltaBlazin They *literally* shrivel up into ashes when DK bonks them.
And thus came the extinction of the dinosaurs
00:11 Doesn't that laugh sounds familiar? In a battle with a BANJO?
pretty sure thats just one of the moles :)
@@Trini360X 0:19 0:24 4:01 what about all the little noises do you think it could be the banjo tiki?
I died plenty of times in this level, but this game sure is awesome.
Whacking moles are alot more fun than wacking a weasel in a carnival. Great gameplay.
Pop goes the weasel
"This boss was a pain." Understatement. This boss is bullshit, especially on Mirror Mode.
Try that Texas Dodge'em to Whack-a-Mole motherfuckery with only one heart and no buddy!
I couldn't do it
S. Pilgrim
That stupid boss mole is unpredictable
One thing I know is that you have to keep moving and hope he doesn't pop under you.
Oh my word

Dude I never knew that could happen
cute banjo 0:18
DKC. Giving the world a new meaning to playing with yourself.
I didn't find this boss that bad, but it did take multiple attempts to beat it.
Grayman 2003 Same.
Tbh, as soon as I found out that you can jump onto the train early on in the fight with the mole throwing pickaxes, it made it easier for me.
Mirror mode will say otherwise
So much Nostalgia from this game
Resetti from Animal Crossing, I have found your people.
your people got massacred by a gorilla, unfortunately.
Bro did the big mole owe DK $5 or something?
That beatdown sounded personal 💀💀💀💀
The trick to mole train is to Kong Roll when the train is heading downhill, so that way you can get on the other 4 carts and defeat the mole throwing pickaxes ⛏ at you.
I died a lot on this boss on Wii. But just managed to beat it on 3DS. I managed it on my 2nd attempt this time.
This game brings back so many memories
The 3rd phase feels so much more atmospheric when playing it, I had no idea it got all dark and and there were more train noises lol
Man, they're just wasting bananas!
...gonna take down to the pain train station in Train Town...
Whos here trying to beat this boss in 2020
LOL When you jumped on the moles's heads, they ditch the train carts.
This level is insanely harder in the Mirror Mode. Probably the hardest level in the game. That is a real pain.
_Listen to my melody,_
_now your will belongs to me._
_It's time for us to get away,_
_so let's start this train today!_
@Robocopp 33 Thank you.
*N O I C E*
No u
I loved this boss, it was very challenging.
It’s also a really fun boss in my opinion
i forgot how much i missed this game
Ikr. It's been 11 years already how crazy.
I rented it from the library *all the time* when I was a little tike.
Started playing it when I was 7, beat it when I was 11, got to the Golden Temple when I was 14.
Comments on its difficulty aside, I miss it too. It has so much charm, blending realism and its cartoony aspects together.

I like this boss,it's original.
This is an absolutely takes the piss on mirror mode!
Engineer mole: ALL ABOARD THE BANANA TRAIN!!!
THE MOLE TRAIN🚂 (MINE⛏️ CART🚃)
love the song in the start
When the leader mole turned around, I thought of the Dramatic Grondhog meme.
LMFAO 0:37 never noticed before its like that damn dramatic prairie dog video
This was like the funnest boss to speed run
3:14 The Big mole sounds like DK in DK64
4:05 is that the sound of his strings
This was honestly my favorites boss fight
Out of all of them feather fiend is the best one in my opinion
Gotta feel bad for the miners and their boss as they were just trying to protect themselves.
They also seem unaware that their leader was hypnotised and that DK just wanted back the bananas
My record on beating this: 1:38:00.
for the last two and a half hour i tried this on mirror mode and it is impossible!
Now THIS is what I call Whack-A-Mole.
This boss is ridiculously hard on 3ds.
The rolling super jump makes this battle a joke
The music at the beginning sounds like the cave areas from Donkey Kong 64. :D
Holy shit, I just realized what the gopher at 0:37 is referring to.
DUN-DAN DAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN
All aboard the mole train! Choo-Choi!
DK: Rocky Wrenches you ain't!
On the Donkey Kong Wiki it says that Tiki is a Ukelele but it's clearly a banjo :U
0:18 to 0:21 Looks like a Dr. Seuss character.
Somehow the only level I could not beat
The fight with Mole Miner Max!
These songs are bangers
All aboard the mile train! Chop-Choo!!!
0:25 get inside the carts and act like moles! 0:27 we won't do the last part but okay. 0:31 i found it! you found your pet? no my little banjo! (starts playing) 0:34 i hear a banjo... i think i will go for a train ride! 0:43 getbackhere!!
Lamp Oil, Pick-Axes, Bombs! You want it? It's yours... as long as you have enough rupees!
Mirror Mode version was by far the hardest challenge in the game for me. I had to use the train skip cheese.
All aboard the MOLE TRAIN, baby!
Super easy short cut, if you have diddy on your back, which you will, obviously, just roll and jump, then use his jetpack to land on the mole train instead of dodging the pick axes over and over again.
Who else was terrified of the outro cutscene as a kid
In this world when you die, the screen closes up showing a silhouette of Banjo tiki. Anyone else notice that the banjo tiki's silhouette looks a lot like Moar Krabs?
MOAR!
Ladies and gentleman....Whack-a-Mole "DONKEY KONG EDITION"!
it feels so good to wack that mole when first time defeating this boss!
1:33 i realy love how the music always changes
This is gonna take about 3 minutes to complete this boss. What if this roller coaster at 2 minutes 53 seconds should be a level? Like it’ll include a couple checkpoints, bananas and some platforms as well!
if you dont like this boss do it quick dont stay there and avoid the bombs and mine axes just find the bumby rail and role jump
0:37
Dramatic Chipmunk.
that boss took me about 20 tries.
(3:59) I cannot believe donkey save max life but it's cost max spine to stop the train
The train with the drill keeps coming up behind me though and destroys my carts...I dont see that in any of these videos.
i love the mole's face at 0:37
A-DUUUURRRRRRRRR
0.37 Dramatic Mole :)
good idea👍🏻
3:46 mr banjo broke down ussaly the music was from the banjo so it was from mole miner max
The guy who was driving the Train is named:Mole Miner Max
Shame we couldn't get the music used for the boss fight...
@PeteMills333 This is Whack-A-Mole where the moles fight back.
Not gonna lie, I beat this on my first try when my Mom and Cousins were having trouble with this. I even said "I'm sorry, this is hard? This is what you guys were having trouble with for the past hour? Seriously?" To make it better, I did it without losing a single heart. And I was 11 at the time.
You know what's actually hard?! The stupid temple lvl in world five at least the others so far have been beatable with practice but this one is impossible to play(especially when you are going for all the puzzle pieces). It the reason why I still haven't started world six yet(cause I'm an OCD person ;p lol).
Pikachu2Ash the final boss is hard the first part though the other parts easy once you learn his pattern
Zoroark Ronan: I'm not even talking about the final boss though.
Pikachu2Ash I know but you gotta edmit it's was a nightmare tho
"Sure you did"
Like the game just can’t handle this boss level he laughs at me every time I fell off
Though the games broke now
Max sounds like Grant Kirkhope
In that Case Mole Miner Max's voice actor is also Grant Kirkhope. Though japanese voice actors like Takashi Nagasato did the voice for male characters in this game. So Max was voiced by Takashi in my thought.
anyone notice how the fight against the big mole is a remake of a boss in donkey kong land
0:37 epic face!
9 years
3:16 easiest part of fight
I call this boss fight: The fight with Mole Miner Max!
0:35
is this supposed to be a reference to the freakin' Dramatic Chipmunk meme?
I just recently got the game and got to this boss......dude you make this look easy, >
It’s a good job 👏 the the brakes activated when mole miner max hit the locomotive 🚂 or they would have gone off the tracks an into the pit. The drill must have also provided extra braking when it came off of the locomotive 🚂. By the way, how do you think 💭 the brakes activated when mole miner max hit the locomotive 🚂?
3:43 that's my bike punk 🚲 👊
0:40 someone needs to make a dramatic chipmunk overdub
I’m playing this on 3DS now. This level gives me feel motion sickness and I can’t seem to beat it
