Rolling Turtle 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 inhaled. 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.
