'''Mincers''' are spiky [[tire (object)|tire]] obstacles that appear in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.
'''Mincers''' are spiky, spinning, floating [[tire (object)|tire]]s appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They act in a very similar manner to [[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]]." They can appear in the air and in the water. 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.

Template:Species-infobox Mincers are spiky tire obstacles that appear in both Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land.

History

Donkey Kong Country

In Donkey Kong Country, Mincers appear in some of the later levels, 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 invulnerable and cannot be defeated by any attack, including those from Animal Friends and a TNT Barrel. This means that Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must avoid them.

Mincers share the same movements with Zingers, as they either move in a continuous, set pattern, or remain in a set position. The idle Mincers are either on the ground or are floating in mid-air.

Donkey Kong Land

Diddy swimming past a Mincer in the underwater level, Reef Rampage.

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 Levels, such as in Deck Trek and Button Barrel Blast.
