Tires have bouncy properties that enable the [[Kong]]s to reach items or higher areas. | |||

[[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can move round tires, though halves of tires cannot be moved due to them being stuck in the ground. Halves of tires often appear on floating platforms. The level [[Bouncy Bonanza]] features the bouncing mechanic through, and as such, it features many bouncing many tires, both whole and half. Sometimes a tire is needed to enter inside a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Winky the Frog]] has a high bouncing ability that can be considered as roughly bounce about as high as when the Kongs bounce from a tire. | ||

Tires reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' where their functionality remains unchanged. Both games feature a hazardous, spike-covered tire obstacle, [[Mincer]]s.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', there are much larger tires (specifically R-1 Lug tires) resembling those from a farm tractor. They only appear in the level [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Jungle Jinx]] and retain the functionality of tires from their previous appearance. Due to their size, the tires can be hazardous, if one lands on the Kongs, crushes them into a wall, or pushes them into an obstacle such as spikes or pitfall. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', there are much larger tires (specifically R-1 Lug tires) resembling those from a farm tractor.

Round tires reappear throughout ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', where they appear floating in midair. They often act as obstacles because they bounce Donkey Kong back if he hits into one.
