The '''Wheel''' is an ability that allows [[Kirby]] to transform into a wheel, and travel at very high speeds. The ability first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', which places it as one of Kirby's oldest [[Copy Abilities]]. Since ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', Wheel Kirby has donned a red baseball cap, worn backwards over his head. When using this ability, he transforms into a simple, pink tire, and begins racing around at high speeds. The general way to obtain the Wheel ability is by inhaling the [[Wheelie]] enemy, or its bigger mid-boss variant, [[Grand Wheelie]]. When racing around, Kirby can run over enemies, and even travel on the surface of water.

— Wheel's flavor text in Kirby: Planet Robobot


The Wheel is an ability that allows Kirby to transform into a wheel, and travel at very high speeds. The ability first appeared in Kirby's Adventure, which places it as one of Kirby's oldest Copy Abilities. Since Kirby Super Star, Wheel Kirby has donned a red baseball cap, worn backwards over his head. When using this ability, he transforms into a simple, pink tire, and begins racing around at high speeds. The general way to obtain the Wheel ability is by inhaling the Wheelie enemy, or its bigger mid-boss variant, Grand Wheelie. When racing around, Kirby can run over enemies, and even travel on the surface of water.

A very similar, but not identical ability is Wheelie Rider, which is accessed in an entirely different way, and only appeared in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
