Wheel Mode is one of the [[Robobot Armor|Robobot ArmTemplate:Or]] modes. It transforms Kirby's mech into a three-wheeled racecar, granting it extra speed and the ability to jump between foreground and background at will.

Moveset

Wheel Mode's Moveset
Skill Button Execution Description
Turbo Accelerate
B
The armTemplate:Or sprouts two spikes in front of it and accelerates to the point of being faster than its normal version's dash.
  • This is called 'Full Turbo Accel' in the Japanese version.
Speed Burst
B + A
The armTemplate:Or can jump during 'Turbo Accelerate' too.
  • This is called 'Full Turbo Jump' in the Japanese version.
Burn Rubber
B repeatedly
The armTemplate:Or does a donut, setting the ground on fire.
  • This is called 'Accel Burst' in the Japanese version.
3D Spring Hopper
↑/↓/L/R
In a similar fashion to the 3D Warp Star, the armTemplate:Or jumps into and out of the background.

Trivia

  • Unlike most armTemplate:Or modes, Wheel Mode cannot be discarded because it is required to use it in the stages the mode is found in.
  • This is the only ability or mode so far that allows Kirby to jump between foreground and background without the use of a 3D Warp Star.
  • The Wheel Mode is not capable of driving in reverse. This is confirmed by a Robobot Armor pop quiz.[1]
