A sturdy ride if you can handle the speed.
— Flavor Text • Kirby Air Ride

The Rex Wheelie is an Air Ride Machine that appears in Kirby Air Ride.

Physical Appearance[]

The Rex Wheelie is much larger than a regular Wheelie Bike, with a black coat of paint, menacing eye, large exhaust pipes, and a more aggressive fascia, which resembles the mouth of a Tyrannosaurus rex.

General Information[]

Rex Wheelie's name references the Latin word "rex," which means "king."

Complimenting the Rex Wheelie's large frame are well-above average offense, defense, weight, and top speed stats (it is faster than the Swerve Star, and has the third highest non-legendary top speed in the game), but poor handling, acceleration (the second worst, after the Formula Star's), charging speed, and jump.

In Air Ride mode, it is unlocked by defeating 100 enemies with exhaled stars.

Strategies[]

Due to its large size and effective battle stats, it is well-suited for use in the Destruction Derby and Kirby Melee events in City Trial mode, but requires patience for good results in races.

Related Quotes[]

Because of its heavy weight, real concentration and technique are required to race this machine. However, its sturdy nature gives it an advantage when it comes to attacking and defending.
