Wheelie is a recurring enemy, who debuted in Kirby's Adventure. It resembles a Template:Tire, and gives Kirby the Wheel Copy Ability when swallowed. In the centTemplate:Er of a Wheelie is a large, reptilian eye; the most outstanding feature separating it from Template:Tires. There is a larger subspecies of Wheelie known as Grand Wheelie. While Grand Wheelie is a mid-boss, the standard version is a regular enemy.

Kirby's Block Ball

Wheelie appears as a common enemy which is worth 600 points on defeat. It drops a Block Flip item.

File:WheelieSSU.png In [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] and Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby is able to ride Wheelies, as well as have them as helpers. When befriended as a Helper, instead of changing palette like other enemies, it gains a "saddle" and exhaust pipes reminiscent of a motorbike. In the Revenge of Meta Knight sub-game, Kirby is required to ride one of these helper Wheelies in order to complete the game.

Trophy Information

Image American English description British English description
WheelieTrophy3DS.png
"Pop quiz! What do cars have four of, bikes have two of, and this enemy would blend right in with? That's right! Tires! Your prize is...more info! Wheelie likes to charge ahead, and Kirby can ride on top when he's a helper. If Kirby inhales him, he can even turn into a tire!" "The most memorable characteristic of Wheelies is their tendency to speed right into Kirby. If Kirby inhales one, he can turn into a tyre too! Sometimes, though, they find it in their hearts to help Kirby out by adding handlebars and a seat to their frames to become Wheelie Bikes that Kirby can ride! Nice!"

Debut episode Born to Be Mild - Part II
Similar entities Fang
 This box: view  talk  edit 

Wheelie appears as a monster in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode Born to Be Mild - Part II. The character Fang transforms into this monster as a last resort to try and finish the race against Kirby and Gus. In the anime, Wheelie is much larger than its in-game incarnation, but its powers and appearance are largely the same.

Wheelie attacks by trying to ram into its targets on the road. Unlike most other monsters, Wheelie is not defeated by Kirby directly, but rather defeated by falling into the traps that King Dedede set on the racetrack to get Kirby. These traps cause Wheelie to crash into the walls of the raceway stadium repeatedly, causing the whole arena to collapse with Wheelie inside it.
