Wheelie is a recurring enemy in the Kirby series, first appearing in Kirby's Adventure. These tire-shaped robots roam the fields, deserts and valleys of planet Pop Star and other nearby planets, often in herds, though no one knows who created them. They love nothing more than to race at full speed often colliding with any inattentive Dream Landers in the area. Some people have managed to "saddle" them and "tame" them in order to create Wheelie Bikes which can be used to travel places quickly.
As enemies, Kirby can inhale them to obtain the Wheel Copy Ability. Normally he resembles a tire with two eyes; sometimes he has a bright red covering over his top half, handle bars, and exhaust pipes. In the games they speed right into Kirby. In Kirby Air Ride, Wheelie also appears as an Air Ride Machine that Kirby can ride. Wheelie can also appear as a scooter-like vehicle known as the Wheelie Scooter and a bigger machine called the Rex Wheelie.
Appearance[]
Wheelies are robots that resemble a rubber tire, with an eye in place of the hubcaps on both sides. Some are retrofitted into Wheelie Bikes, saddled with a red covering containing a seat, handlebars and exhaust pipes, in order to allow a rider to mount them.
