'''Mincers''' are spiky tire-like objects appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Mincers appear as spinning wheels with spikes covering their tires. They act in a very similar manner as the [[Zinger]]s, but are completely invincible to all attack methods (including [[Animal Buddy]] 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]]". 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.

'''Mincers''' are spiky [[tire (object)|tire]] obstacles that debut in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Mincers have the same movement patterns as [[Zinger]]s, either moving continuously in a set pattern or remaining idle on either the ground or in mid-air. Mincers are entirely indestructible, including from [[Animal Friend]]s and a [[TNT Barrel]]. Mincers are first encountered in [[Torchlight Trouble]] and appear in some of the later [[level]]s, most of which take place underground. However, Mincers also appear in an underwater stage, [[Poison Pond]]. Mincers lastly appear in [[Manic Mincers]], of which they are the main obstacle and titular feature.
 
Mincers made their second and only other appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', acting no differently than in their debut appearance. They appear in levels such as [[Reef Rampage]], but also prominently within [[Spiky Tyre Trail]]. They usually appear in [[Bonus Area|Bonus Levels]], such as in [[Deck Trek]] and in [[Button Barrel Blast]], their last level appearance.
