Games
Kirby's Adventure
When using Wheel, Kirby revs up and rolls out, dashing forward and through all enemies until something blocks his way. He can travel up hills and jump over off ramps. Hitting the button again stops the drive. If a wall is hit, Kirby is thrown back and stunned momentarily. At the start and end of using this ability, Kirby is vulnerable to attack. He is only invincible when he is barreling on strong. (He can also jump in wheel form.)
Kirby's Dream Course
This ability sets Kirby flying forward in a straight line. He'll move through at high speeds through grass, up hills, off ramps, and even over water until he runs into an obstacle he can't pass through. When this happens, he spins out and is tossed straight into the air. He bounces in place until fully stopped if not on a slope.
Kirby Super Star
Kirby can roll through levels using Wheel, including the enemies. Not much is added to the ability in its new appearance, outside its new look which gives Kirby a backwards, red, baseball cap. However, when used by his Helper, Wheel becomes a formidable tool as it creates Wheelie Rider. Alone, it grants the following abilities:
- Dash/Dash Release - The basic action starts or stops the wheeling.
- Brake - For a fast finish, the jump button puts on the brakes.
- Turn - Hitting a different direction allows the moving wheel to hop up and change trajectories.
With a Wheelie Helper, the Wheelie Rider can be used. In this state, Kirby rides on top of his ally. Not only is the combination adding more height to the ability, and thus more destructive power, but the pairing can jump while dashing. Plus, if the helper is controlled by another player, Kirby can shoot out stars to further damage his enemies.
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
This ability works just as it did in Kirby's Adventure, only now Kirby does it wearing a backwards baseball cap.
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
The ability works just like before, only now Kirby can perform a jump to launch into the air while rolling.
- Flavor Text - I ride like the wind! Fast! Too fast!
Kirby Canvas Curse
When tapped, Kirby will turn into an out-of-control speeding wheel. The only thing than can change his direction is the rainbow line. At the speed he goes it can be easy to run out of ink, so use caution. (Drawing a ramp can really send him flying too!)
Kirby Squeak Squad
Wheel works the same as always, but with the Copy Scroll, Wheel can gain elemental powers. If Kirby drives over a patch of magma, he'll become a wheel flame. Over snow, he can freeze water or lava as he drives over it. Hitting a source of electricity makes it spark.
Anime
Wheel Kirby appeared in both racing-themed episodes of the series, where of course it's the most useful. It keeps the same look, with Kirby turning into a pink tire with a star-shaped hubcab, but gains no extra powers- just pure speed. Even when it looks like all is lost, Wheel Kirby can zoom past all opposition. It's his fastest ability after Jet, though he does still get tired after a while.
