Hard Hat is encountered in ''Donkey Kong Land's'' third area, [[Monkey Mountains]]/[[Chimpanzee Clouds]]. The fight against Hard Hat, is perhaps intentionally similar to a game of Whack-a-Mole; Hard Hat will pop out of one of three holes and try to throw his hat at either [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], and whichever [[Kong]] is currently being used must avoid this attack and bash Hard Hat on the head while his hat is off. After being hit repeatedly Hard Hat will begin attacking faster, though after a few more hits he will be defeated.

Hard Hat, also known as Buroughs,[1] is a mole wearing a yellow miner helmet and the third boss of Donkey Kong Land. He is fought in the level Mad Mole Holes of Monkey Mountains & Chimpanzee Clouds. Similarly to a game of Whac-A-Mole, Hard Hat pops out from one of three holes and tries throwing his hat at Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong. The active Kong must jump over his hat and jump on Hard Hat's head before he regains his hat. Hard Hat throws his hat quicker after a couple of hits, and after taking eight hits, Hard Hat is defeated.

Hard Hat may have been derived from an unused Animal Friend named "Miney" in Donkey Kong Country.[2]
