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]
