'''Rolling Turtle'''<ref>Rocha, Garitt, and Nick von Esmarch. ''Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics''. Pages 301, 307, 313.</ref> is a [[Mid-Boss]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. True to its name, it resembles a turtle, though much larger and rounder, and with a humanoid stance and posture. It has bunny-like front teeth along with naïve eyes. Defeating and swallowing it yields the [[Throw]] ability.

Rolling Turtle attacks in two different ways. It can either curl up and roll toward [[Kirby]], or toss shells at him which can be [[inhale]]d. At any point during the fight, if Kirby gets too close to Rolling Turtle, it will grab him, rock him back-and-forth, then release him to deal damage.

In ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Rolling Turtle is replaced by a different opponent for unknown reasons, similarly to [[Bounder]] and [[Togezo]]. In Rolling Turtle's case, its replacement is the elephant-like Mid-Boss [[Phan Phan]]. Rolling Turtle is the only Mid-Boss that is replaced between ''Kirby's Adventure'' and its remake.
