Tire



Tires are somewhat rare items first found in Donkey Kong Country and later reappeared in Donkey Kong Land. Tires here are quite bouncy, allowing for greater height, often to get bonuses or items. Round tires can be moved by walking into them, while grounded half-tires cannot be moved at all. Round tires can sometime be found floating in air. Tires later reappear in Jungle Jinx, a level of Lost World from Donkey Kong Country 2, only much larger, and get better height, but can also be dangerous if a rolling tire squishes a Kong. They reappeared in DK Jungle Climber, with several different colors and the ability to float, often used for getting DK Coins. Their latest appearance was in Donkey Kong Country Returns where they also had a gold colour when seen in any banana temple stages.
