Mincer

Mincers are spiky tire-like objects appearing in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land. Mincers appear as spinning wheels with blades covering their tires. Mincers act in a very similar manneron how Zingers act in some aspects, like cause harm if they are touched. Mincers can be found in both the air or water and are invincible. 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 an forth to attack the Kongs with its spikes, or even spins around in the air.

In Donkey Kong Land they have the same role as they did in Donkey Kong Country. The level Spiky Tire Trail also prominently features them.
