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. | The '''Wheel''' is an ability that allows [[Kirby]] to transform into a wheel, and travel at very high speeds.
