'''Spiky Tire Trail''' is the twentieth level in the [[Game Boy]] classic, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. It is also the fourth area of the [[Monkey Mountains]] and [[Chimpanzee Clouds]] world.
'''Spiky Tire Trail''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74, page 21.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console digital manual, page 13.</ref> spelled '''Spiky Tyre Trail''' in British English,<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' UK Game Boy instruction booklet, page 18.</ref> is the twentieth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and the fourth level of [[Monkey Mountains & Chimpanzee Clouds]]. Spiky Tire Trail is a cave level with several [[Mincer]]s for [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to avoid. Additionally, the [[Kong]]s must avoid falling into several [[pit]]s along the way.


This cave level is very similar to the [[Manic Mincers]] level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as both levels are filled with many [[Mincer]]s. Throughout the whole level, the [[Kong]]s will have to dodge these numerous Mincers, who will appear all over the area. Each one moves in a different pattern from the others to make things more difficult. Besides the dangerous and sharp Mincers, [[Slippa]]s and [[Kritter]]s are the only other enemies to occupy this cavern.

From the start of the level, the Kongs must travel east and jump over a Mincer. They will shortly after come up to another one. They will have to dash under this foe, and cross a few small abysses to make it to another Mincer. Again, they should quickly run under it as it moves upwards. Then, the heroes must travel a little farther and dodge yet another Mincer. Once they jump over this, they will come up to a wide gap. Using a platform swinging across it, they will ride to the other end of the pit. Once on the other side, they must jump over and run under several Mincers. Soon, they will have to cross to small gaps with a Mincer lurking around them. If the Kongs manage to get past this area, they must carry on and dash under three consecutive Mincers as they move up and down. Right after that, they will find the [[Continue Point]].


==Level Layout==
Halfway through the level, the heroes should make their way up to more Mincers, and jump between them. This part is followed by a part where they will have to use another platform to cross a wide gap. Once they are taken to the other side of the abyss, they must dodge a couple of Mincers. This time, they will see one of the Mincers orbiting another. They should be careful and journey around the enemies to progress through the level. The Kongs, after this, will need to cross two small gaps with a few normal jumps. However, two Mincers will be moving around the area, so they need to be cautious. Making their way through this area will take the Kongs to another Mincer. As it moves around, they must hop over it and then climb up a few ledges, without bumping into any Kritters. From there, the heroes will come up to a very wide abyss, much wider than any other gaps before it. A platform should be used to cross it. However, it won't float across the whole length of the abyss, so the Kongs will have to leap over a Mincer and land on a second platform. This one will take them to the other end of the gap. The group will encounter another Mincer when they are over the pit. This one will be shooting out of a small alcove at a fast speed. They should carefully jump over it as it moves downwards, and then hop over the following Mincer in another area. Once they pass all those foes, Donkey and Diddy Kong will have to journey a little bit farther. After hopping over a gap and bouncing off of a Kritter, the Kongs should see a portal nearby. When they jump into it, it will take them to the next level.

Spiky Tire Trail,[1][2] spelled Spiky Tyre Trail in British English,[3] is the twentieth level in Donkey Kong Land and the fourth level of Monkey Mountains & Chimpanzee Clouds. Spiky Tire Trail is a cave level with several Mincers for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong to avoid. Additionally, the Kongs must avoid falling into several pits along the way.

Layout[edit]

Donkey Kong standing on a platform between two Mincers in Spiky Tire Trail
Donkey Kong sits between two Mincers. A Barrel Cannon to the first Bonus Level is below.

From the start of the level, the Kongs must travel east and jump over a Mincer. They will shortly after come up to another one. They will have to dash under this foe, and cross a few small abysses to make it to another Mincer. Again, they should quickly run under it as it moves upwards. Then, the heroes must travel a little farther and dodge yet another Mincer. Once they jump over this, they will come up to a wide gap. Using a platform swinging across it, they will ride to the other end of the pit. Once on the other side, they must jump over and run under several Mincers. Soon, they will have to cross to small gaps with a Mincer lurking around them. If the Kongs manage to get past this area, they must carry on and dash under three consecutive Mincers as they move up and down. Right after that, they will find the Continue Point.

Halfway through the level, the heroes should make their way up to more Mincers, and jump between them. This part is followed by a part where they will have to use another platform to cross a wide gap. Once they are taken to the other side of the abyss, they must dodge a couple of Mincers. This time, they will see one of the Mincers orbiting another. They should be careful and journey around the enemies to progress through the level. The Kongs, after this, will need to cross two small gaps with a few normal jumps. However, two Mincers will be moving around the area, so they need to be cautious. Making their way through this area will take the Kongs to another Mincer. As it moves around, they must hop over it and then climb up a few ledges, without bumping into any Kritters. From there, the heroes will come up to a very wide abyss, much wider than any other gaps before it. A platform should be used to cross it. However, it won't float across the whole length of the abyss, so the Kongs will have to leap over a Mincer and land on a second platform. This one will take them to the other end of the gap. The group will encounter another Mincer when they are over the pit. This one will be shooting out of a small alcove at a fast speed. They should carefully jump over it as it moves downwards, and then hop over the following Mincer in another area. Once they pass all those foes, Donkey and Diddy Kong will have to journey a little bit farther. After hopping over a gap and bouncing off of a Kritter, the Kongs should see a portal nearby. When they jump into it, it will take them to the next level.
