===''Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===

[[File:KA Butter Building Stage 2 screenshot 05.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using the Wheel ability in ''Kirby's Adventure''.]]

Wheel first appeared as an ability in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and also appears in the remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. A handful of areas in stages specifically cater to Wheel Kirby's movement options, with some intending use of the ability in order to access optional side areas and a [[Big Switch]] at one point. Wheel is provided by [[Wheelie]] and [[Grand Wheelie]], and a [[Museum]] for it exists in [[Orange Ocean]].

The Wheel ability appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]''. It is introduced in [[Course 2]], and is also featured in the opening for the [[Multiplayer|2P]] [[Kracko Course]]. It is obtained from Wheelie and can sometimes be obtained from [[Transformer]]. When used, Kirby transforms into a wheel and moves at very high speed until he falls off the map, hits a wall, or hits a [[bumper]], then he launches a little vertically before coming to a complete halt. While in the air, Kirby can activate a different ability if he has one, which is an intended strategy for part of [[Course 8 - Hole 8]]. Wheel can also be used to cross [[pond]]s more efficiently, since Kirby rides along the surface of the water without falling through. When rolling into the opponent in the 2P game using this ability, he gets flattened.

The Wheel ability returns in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Like most of the other Copy Abilities, Wheel's moveset is expanded and improved in this game. Kirby is also given the choice to create a Wheelie as a [[Helper]] from the ability. Aside from the regular Wheel ability, ''Kirby Super Star'' introduces a new concept, known as the [[Wheelie Rider]]. When Kirby has a Wheelie Helper with him, he can jump onto his Helper and ride him, which accesses more moves for the Wheel ability, as well as traveling much faster than Wheel by itself. It also lets Kirby jump while dashing and [[Infinity Jump]], while the standalone ability does not.

The Wheel ability makes two appearances in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', in [[The Kirby Derby - Part II]] and [[Born to Be Mild - Part II]]. Here, it operates largely the same as it does in the games, though Kirby's Wheel form is much larger here. Wheel Kirby is depicted as being extremely fast and agile, able to make circuits around the entirety of [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] in a matter of seconds. The draft created behind Wheel Kirby is also such that other vehicles can follow behind and gain the same level of speed.
