Wheelie is a recurring enemy, who debuted in Kirby's Adventure. It resembles a tire, and gives Kirby the Wheel Copy Ability when swallowed. In the center of a Wheelie is a large, reptilian eye, which is its most noticeable feature separating it from tires. There is also a larger version of Wheelie known as Grand Wheelie which serves as a mid-boss.

Main article: Blaze Wheelie

A special variety of ride-able Wheelie appears in the Attack Riders game mode. Known as Blaze Wheelie, this Wheelie is extra large and takes on the color of its rider's team. It can perform a burst attack which knocks opponents away.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Wheelie appears as a collectible trophy.

Trophy Information[edit]

Image	Description
	"A real speed demon. Once the Wheelie gets going, he can't be stopped. Wheelies are sometimes known to run in packs too. Kirby can copy the Wheel ability, turn into a tire, and run over enemies. The momentum will keep him rolling until he runs into an obstacle such as a wall."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Wheelie appears as a collectible trophy.

Trophy Information[edit]

Image	American English description	British English description
	"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!"

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.
