'''Grand Wheelie''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] and a larger variant of a [[Wheelie]]. It first appears in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. The main difference with Grand Wheelie's appearance is its large, pink metallic eyelid. Its design was changed for ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', where it more closely resembles a Wheelie helper from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.


'''Grand Wheelie''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] debuting in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. It resembles an over-sized version of a regular [[Wheelie]].

In ''Kirby's Adventure'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Grand Wheelie is encountered several times. Its main attack is to speed towards [[Kirby]]. To damage it, Kirby must attack it with a [[Copy Ability]] or wait until it tip over on its side, releasing a smaller Wheelie which can be inhaled and spat back at the large tire. In addition to these attacks, Grand Wheelie also jumps up and down in place on occasion, which does not harm Kirby unless he directly touches it, but may enable the Mid-Boss to dodge attacks directed at it. When swallowed after its defeat, Grand Wheelie gives Kirby the [[Wheel]] ability.
