Grand Wheelie is a Mid-Boss debuting in Kirby's Adventure. It resembles an over-sized version of a regular Wheelie. The main difference is that it has a large pink metallic eyelid. It undergoes a design change in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, so that it more closely resembles a Wheelie helper from Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Game Appearances

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

In Kirby's Adventure and its Game Boy Advance remake, Nightmare in Dream Land, Grand Wheelie is encountered several times throughout the game. Its main attack in battle 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.

Besides being found in various level parts, Grand Wheelie is the opponent competed against in Butter Building's arena, yielding its ability and a Maxim Tomato upon its defeat.

Kirby Super Star Ultra

Grand Wheelie reappears in Kirby Super Star Ultra, an enhanced remake of Kirby Super Star, as one of the new additions not found in the original game. In this game, it is encountered in the Revenge of the King stage. Grand Wheelie looks and attacks similarly as in its Nightmare in Dream Land appearance, the main difference being that the smaller Wheelies it creates now award Kirby the Wheel ability when swallowed.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

After many years of absence, Grand Wheelie reappears in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, sporting a new look which features a yellow tire crest and some exhaust pipes, similar to the Wheelie Bike. Its move-set is largely the same as before, though it gains a number of aerial spinning maneuvers as well, which it can do from the background. There is a tougher red variant called Grand Wheelie DX.
