Mincers are first encountered in [[Torchlight Trouble]] and appear in some of the later [[level]]s, most of which take place underground.

'''Mincers''' are spiky tire-like objects appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Mincers appear as spinning wheels with spikes covering their tires. They act in a very similar manner as the [[Zinger]]s, but are completely invincible to all attack methods (including [[Animal Friend]] attacks). Because of this behavior, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must avoid Mincers to keep themselves from losing a life. Mincers appear in a few levels like "[[Torchlight Trouble]]" and "[[Poison Pond]]". The stage "[[Manic Mincers]]" prominently features them. It may move back and forth to attack the [[Kong]]s with its spikes, or even spin around in the air.
 
Mincers made their second and only other appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', acting no differently than in their debut appearance.

They usually appear in [[Bonus Area|Bonus Levels]], such as in [[Deck Trek]] and in [[Button Barrel Blast]], their last level appearance.

In ''Donkey Kong Land'', they have the same role as they did in ''Donkey Kong Country''. The level [[Spiky Tyre Trail]] also prominently features them.

Mincers are spiky tire obstacles that debut in Donkey Kong Country. Mincers have the same movement patterns as Zingers, either moving continuously in a set pattern or remaining idle on either the ground or in mid-air. Mincers are entirely indestructible, including from Animal Friends and a TNT Barrel. Mincers are first encountered in Torchlight Trouble and appear in some of the later levels, most of which take place underground. However, Mincers also appear in an underwater stage, Poison Pond. Mincers lastly appear in Manic Mincers, of which they are the main obstacle and titular feature.

Mincers made their second and only other appearance in Donkey Kong Land, acting no differently than in their debut appearance. They appear in levels such as Reef Rampage, but also prominently within Spiky Tyre Trail. They usually appear in Bonus Levels, such as in Deck Trek and in Button Barrel Blast, their last level appearance.
