'''Wheelie Rider''' is a [[Copy Ability]] and special form of [[Piggyback]] primarily accessed by hopping on a friendly [[Wheelie]]. When paired up like this, Kirby and Wheelie can ride extremely quickly and turn on a dime, as well as perform an [[Infinity Jump]], making the ability overall more advantageous to use than the Wheel ability on its own.


'''Wheelie Rider''' is an ability primarily obtained by hopping on a friendly [[Wheelie]]. It allows [[Kirby]] to perform one of several riding moves, as listed below.
== Overview ==
Wheelie Rider only appears as an ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. In addition to creating Wheelie from an ability found out in the open, Kirby can also obtain the Wheelie Rider ability through [[Copy Essence Deluxe|Copy Essences Deluxe]]; but he must first create the helper to ride. Kirby's visual appearance changes by the addition of a motorcycling hat and goggles. Using Wheelie Rider, Kirby can move very quickly, much more so than on the standard [[Wheel]] ability. This ability is given to Kirby by default in the very [[Revenge of Meta Knight - Chapter 7|last section]] of [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], when he is escaping the falling [[Halberd]].

In co-op mode, player 1 controls Kirby while player 2 controls the Wheelie. This means that player 2 handles the steering, while player 1 gains a new move to compensate: the ability to fire [[Star Bullet|Star Shots]]. These shots can be fired with the standard attack button and aimed in any of the eight cardinal directions. They are somewhat smaller than ordinary Star Bullets and fizzle out much more quickly, but they are a comparatively powerful weapon that become especially useful during Boss fights.
 
== Other appearances ==
While Wheelie Rider only appears as an ability in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', it has been seen or referenced in the following games:
*''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' - Appears as a [[keychain]], using the sprite from ''Kirby Super Star''.
*''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' - Appears as a [[Character Treat]], using the sprite from ''Kirby Super Star''.
*''[[Kirby for Nintendo GameCube]]'' - Wheelie Rider was planned to be in this game before it was canceled. Kirby would also gain the helmet when riding on [[Flappy]].

Wheelie Rider is a Copy Ability and special form of Piggyback primarily accessed by hopping on a friendly Wheelie. When paired up like this, Kirby and Wheelie can ride extremely quickly and turn on a dime, as well as perform an Infinity Jump, making the ability overall more advantageous to use than the Wheel ability on its own.

Overview[edit]

Wheelie Rider only appears as an ability in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. In addition to creating Wheelie from an ability found out in the open, Kirby can also obtain the Wheelie Rider ability through Copy Essences Deluxe; but he must first create the helper to ride. Kirby's visual appearance changes by the addition of a motorcycling hat and goggles. Using Wheelie Rider, Kirby can move very quickly, much more so than on the standard Wheel ability. This ability is given to Kirby by default in the very last section of Revenge of Meta Knight, when he is escaping the falling Halberd.

In co-op mode, player 1 controls Kirby while player 2 controls the Wheelie. This means that player 2 handles the steering, while player 1 gains a new move to compensate: the ability to fire Star Shots. These shots can be fired with the standard attack button and aimed in any of the eight cardinal directions. They are somewhat smaller than ordinary Star Bullets and fizzle out much more quickly, but they are a comparatively powerful weapon that become especially useful during Boss fights.
