Wheel Kirby is one of Kirby's Copy Ability forms which first appeared in Kirby's Adventure. The fastest Copy Ability, Wheel gives Kirby the power to turn into a fast-moving wheel and run down enemies. It is commonly obtained from rolling enemies, such as Wheelie. As Wheel, Kirby wears a red backwards baseball cap and transforms into a pink/red wheel with a star on the hubcap.
Abilities[]
Wheel is a transformation-type copy ability that let's Kirby take the form of a pink wheel and roll quickly across the stage, running over foes that get in his way. Kirby moves so fast in this state that he can even travel over the surface of water without sinking and in some games, further upgrade this to travel over lava and electrified floors as well. While rolling at top speed Wheel Kirby possesses I-frames (invincibility frames) rendering him immune to most enemy attacks, however, vertical levels and those with lots of bottomless pits may prove troublesome as turning around takes some time, during which Kirby is vulnerable to enemy attack. Additionally hitting a wall or spike floor stops Kirby in his tracks (and damages him in the latter case).
In Kirby Super Star and Ultra, Kirby can summon the Wheelie helper to ride as a Wheelie Rider, which give him similar powers to the regular Wheelie ability. If the Wheelie is player controlled, the rider can fire tiny stars as an attack.
In Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby turns into his wheel form when activated and drives him in a straight line until he hits an immovable obstacle or fall off. If he hits a wall or green barrier, he will lose all speed, jumping in the air before stopping.
As a Robobot Mode, it turns the armor into a car-like vehicle with the ability to charge forward and pierce enemies with forward spikes and spin around to make a fiery blast. It can also change lanes at will if there are paths available.
