On each side where a hub would normally be, there is instead a massive, angry-looking eye with a gold eyelid. Positioned on the top half of the wheel is a red, matte covering with gray and silver accents, upon which the rider sits. On the front of this covering are are a pair of handlebars gripped by the rider. | ||
Extending out from the rear of the covering are four silver exhaust pipes--two on each side--which pump out smoky gray exhaust while the vehicle is moving. | Extending out from the rear of the covering are four silver exhaust pipes--two on each side--which pump out smoky gray exhaust while the vehicle is moving. The exhaust stops completely when the bike is stationary or [[charge|charging]], but spikes for a moment after [[boost]]ing. Between the four exhaust pipes is a single red taillight, which lights up when the vehicle is charging. | ||

Since it relies on a wheel to propel itself, it does not float above the ground as stars do. This renders it more susceptible to ground hazards such as the magma in [[Magma Flows]] or the snow in [[Frozen Hillside]], decelerating and messing with its handling more than it would stars. However, it also gains the aid of [[boost panel|boost panels]] and activates [[switch]]es without the need to touch the ground with a charge. As with all bikes, it does not [[glide]] in the typical sense, but instead jumps. That is, it gains a sudden increase of speed when going airborne, but cannot steer or alter its trajectory to the point almost all stars can. | ||
Aside from its unique bike properties, the Wheelie Bike is fairly average, and balanced in its statistics, and is comparable in most applicable ways to the standard [[Warp Star]].

However, it doesn't [[turn|handle]] quite as easily, but it does accelerate slightly faster and has a slightly higher [[top speed]] of 26.83 km/h. | ||
