| '''Millstones''' are large indestructible stone wheels often featured in ruined areas. They mostly serve as obstacles that harm the playable characters by rolling onto them. | | '''Millstones''' are large stone wheels that are often piloted by brown [[Gnawty|Gnawties]]. |

|
| ==History==
| | Millstones first appear in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They are often found in levels featuring temples, such as [[Millstone Mayhem]] and [[Temple Tempest]]. Millstones will either chase [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] through a level or act as obstacles blocking the [[Kong]]s' path. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country''===
| |
| Millstones first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where they only appear in two temple levels, [[Millstone Mayhem]] and [[Temple Tempest]]. Millstones are controlled by brown [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], who sit in the center hole, and they either move on predetermined paths attempting to hinder the [[Kong]]s, or are stationary at first but start chasing them at a distance before stopping. | |

| ===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
| | Millstones make a cameo in the game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. A discarded Millstone can be found in [[Donkey Kong Jungle (Mario Superstar Baseball)|Donkey Kong Jungle]]. |
| A giant discarded millstone akin to those ridden by Gnawties in ''Donkey Kong Country'' can be seen on the flanks of [[Donkey Kong Jungle (baseball stadium)|Donkey Kong Jungle]] in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
| |
| Millstones appear in the [[Clockwork Ruins Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They now take the shape of large stone gears and display rinds on the sides. Millstones fall in indefinite numbers onto inclined pathways and roll down towards the player. They feature cuts on their surface where the player can take shelter to avoid getting squashed, as this directly causes them to lose a life. There are also millstones that do not roll down slants, instead rotating in one fixed place, allowing the player to use their rotation to scale the walls and platforms inside the Millstone.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', millstones appear as obstacles in the track [[Thwomp Ruins]]. They roll around certain parts of the track after 45 seconds in a race. At one point, a millstone rolls over a wall blocking a [[Glide Ramp]], thus making it available for use. Unlike most hazards in ''Mario Kart 8'', slowly driving into a millstone does not make the racer tumble over.

| |
|
| | Millstones make their latest appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They share some similarities from their past appearances, but they now take on the shape of a large stone gear and no longer have holes in the center. There are also non-damage-dealing ones that rotate in the same place, forcing the player to use their rotation to scale the walls and platforms inside. They are mainly found in the [[Clockwork Ruins Galaxy]]. |
