| | A '''Tire''' (spelled '''Tyre''' in the [[wikipedia:American and British English spelling differences|UK-based]] [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] games) is an object in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. It first appears in the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' game, where Tires can be moved around and can be jumped on to reach rather elevated places. Halves of Tires, which cannot be moved around, also appear on platforms floating in the air and stuck into the ground in certain areas. They also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and function the same way. Tires later appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest]]'' where they only appear in the level [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Jungle Jinx]]. They appear much larger, and they can be hazardous as well if one lands on the Kongs or if a Tire crushes them by going into a wall. After several years of absence, they appear once again in ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', where they come in several colors. They appear floating in mid-air in this game and they can be jumped on to reach several things such as a [[DK Coin]]. They reappear in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|factory]] levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''; while they have different appearances, they act just like they did in the first ''Donkey Kong Country''. |

| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country'', there are two types of tires: round and half. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can move round tires, though halves of tires cannot be moved due to them being stuck in the ground. Halves of tires often appear on floating platforms. The level [[Bouncy Bonanza]] features the bouncing mechanic through, and as such, it features many bouncing many tires, both whole and half. Sometimes a tire is needed to enter inside a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Winky]] can bounce to about the same height as the Kongs can from a tire.

| [[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|In early stages of development]], tires were considered to be used for a much larger variety of uses throughout the game.<ref>{{file link|DKC concept tire features.jpg|DKC tire feature concepts}}</ref>

| [[File:Tire DKC2.gif|frame|A large, rolling tire from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', there are much larger tires (specifically R-1 Lug tires) resembling those from a farm tractor. They only appear in the level [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Jungle Jinx]] and retain the functionality of tires from their previous appearance. Due to their size, the tires can be hazardous, if one lands on the Kongs, crushes them into a wall, or pushes them into an obstacle such as spikes or pitfall. In [[Klubba's Kiosk]] and [[The Flying Krock]], tires appear in the background among other random objects.
| |
| | |
| ====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', a single tire appears beneath [[DK's Tree House]] and is used to bounce up to it. They later reappear in some temple levels with a golden hue, such as [[Platform Panic]] and [[Blast and Bounce]]. Normal tires also appear in [[Switcheroo]]. | |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Land''===
| |
| Tires reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' where their functionality remains unchanged from ''Donkey Kong Country''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' (television series)===
| |
| Additionally, in a [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]] episode, a tire appears in [[Donkey Kong]]'s house as a swing.
| |
| | |
| ===''DK: King of Swing''===
| |
| Round tires reappear throughout ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', where they appear floating in midair. They often act as obstacles because they bounce Donkey Kong back if he hits into one. Tires otherwise retain their general purpose from ''Donkey Kong Country''.
| |
| | |
| ===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
| |
| In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' tires are featured in numerous color variants.
