+'''Tire''' (spelled '''tyre''' in the {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|UK-based}} [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] games) are commonplace objects in a few titles of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise, the first being ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Tires have bouncy properties that enable the [[Kong]]s to reach items or higher areas.
 ==History==
-===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
+===''Donkey Kong Country'' / ''Donkey Kong Land''===
-[[File:Tire DKC2.gif|frame|A spinning tire from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.]]
+{{multiframe|
-Such tires first appear in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' game, where they can be moved around and can be jumped on to reach rather elevated places. Halves of tires, which cannot be moved around, also appear on platforms floating in the air or stuck into the ground in certain areas. They also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and function the same way. [[Mincer]]s are floating, spike-covered tires which instead act as obstacles.

+|size= 85}}In ''Donkey Kong Country'', there are two types of tires: round and half. [[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 later appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest]]'' where they only appear in the level [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Jungle Jinx]]. These tires are much larger than the ones in the previous game, and resemble tractor tires. They are used the same way as tires from the previous games, but can be hazardous as well if one lands on the Kongs, crushes them by going into a wall, or pushes them into some other danger.
+Tires reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' where their functionality remains unchanged. Both games feature a hazardous, spike-covered tire obstacle, [[Mincer]]s. [[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|In early stages of development]], tires were considered to be used for a much larger variety of uses throughout the game.<ref>{{media link|DKC concept tire features.jpg|DKC tire feature concepts}}</ref>
-A single tire is present in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', beneath [[DK's Tree House]], and is used to bounce up to it.
+===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
+[[File:Tire DKC2.gif|frame|A large, rolling tire from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.]]
+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 [[Klubba's Kiosk]] and [[The Flying Krock]], tires appear in the background among other random objects.
+===''Donkey Kong Country Returns''===
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', a single tire appears beneath [[DK's Tree House]] and is used to bounce up to it. They later reappear in some temple levels with a golden hue, such as [[Platform Panic]] and [[Blast and Bounce]]. Normal tires also appear in [[Switcheroo]].
 ===''Donkey Kong Country'' (television series)===
 Additionally, in a [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]] episode, a tire appears in [[Donkey Kong]]'s house as a swing.
+===''DK: King of Swing''===
+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. Tires otherwise retain their general purpose from ''Donkey Kong Country''.
 ===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
-After several years of absence, they appear once again in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they come in several colors. They appear floating in mid-air in this game and they can be jumped on to reach objects such as a [[DK Coin]].
+In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' tires are featured in numerous color variants.
-{{br}}
+{{stub|section=yes}}
+===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
+A tire appears in the [[Great Ring of Kong]] in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where it can be seen hanging on a rope attached to a [[Brick Block]].
