'''Mincers''' are spiky [[tire (object)|tire]] obstacles that appear in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.
'''Mincers''' are spiky [[tire (object)|tire]] obstacles that debut in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Mincers have the same movement patterns as [[Zinger]]s, 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 Friend]]s and a [[TNT Barrel]]. Mincers are first encountered in [[Torchlight Trouble]] and appear in some of the later [[level]]s, 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.


== History ==
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 Area|Bonus Levels]], such as in [[Deck Trek]] and in [[Button Barrel Blast]], their last level appearance.
===''Donkey Kong Country'' ===
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Mincers appear in some of the later [[level]]s, starting with [[Torchlight Trouble]]. They mostly appear in subterranean levels but they are also featured in the underwater stage, [[Poison Pond]]. Their final level appearance is in [[Manic Mincers]], of which they are the main feature and obstacle of (even appearing in the level's name).
 
Mincers are completely indestructible and cannot be defeated by any attack, including those from [[Animal Friend]]s and a [[TNT Barrel]]. This means that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must simply avoid them.
 
Mincers share the same movements with [[Zinger]]s, as they either move continuously in a set pattern or stay idle either on the ground or in mid-air. The only functional difference is Mincers' absolute invulnerability. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', they are replaced by red Zingers.
 
===''Donkey Kong Land''===

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. They usually appear in [[Bonus Area|Bonus Levels]], such as in [[Deck Trek]] and in [[Button Barrel Blast]], which is the last level they appear in.

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.
