I am Heavy Mole, watch while I undermine your precious dream!!
— Heavy Mole • Kirby's Avalanche

Heavy Mole is the boss of Yogurt Yard in Kirby's Adventure, and is one of the few mechanical bosses in the series. He is a monstrous, robotic foe that spends all of his time digging tunnels beneath Dream Land. Unlike most bosses from Kirby's Adventure, Heavy Mole doesn't make an appearance in the anime. However, another monster called Mole has the same techniques and concept of Heavy Mole.

In Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Heavy Mole is entrusted with a piece of the fabled Star Rod when Nightmare invades the Fountain of Dreams. When the battle ensues, Heavy Mole digs through a large sea of dirt and will fire out Dygclops that Kirby can inhale (the orange ones give Hammer when eaten, which can destroy the dirt in the battle, and the red ones give Sleep when eaten). During the fight against Heavy Mole, the screen always focuses on him - so if Kirby gets off-screen, he automatically loses a life, regardless of his remaining health.

He only appears as a boss in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, but his red, claw-like buzz saws are used as projectiles thrown by Moley and Mrs. Moley in following games. When these buzz saws are eaten, Kirby gets the Cutter ability.

Later on in the series, Heavy Mole is one of the challengers faced in Kirby's Avalanche. He is the 12th impediment in the game, and is faced after Paint Roller and before Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright.

Physical Appearance

Heavy Mole, contrary to his name, actually looks nothing like a regular mole. Instead, he is a shiny, brass, dome-shaped machine with two bright red retractable claw-like saws on the ends of him. He has a single large, menacing eye and his golden, mechanical exterior is covered in gyrating spikes, which he uses to plow through the dirt that he resides in. The back of him can forcibly shoot out Dygclops as if they were missiles. Despite his (presumably) immense weight, he is also capable of flying low to the ground. This may be due to the fact that he has two small propellers on his back.
