—Wheel's Flavour Text, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
Wheel is One of Kirby's Copy abilities.
The Wheel ability is made for getting places fast and taking out enemies along the way. Normally wearing a backwards red baseball cap, Kirby can turn into a big pink wheel that zooms along the ground, destroying nearly any foe or obstacle and making Kirby almost completely invulnerable. An obvious downside to this is that although he is fast and damages enemies on contact, he is very hard to control, especially because he is incapable of jumping in some games. The Wheel ability is best used on flat terrain and in places where projectile-throwing enemies are sparse.
The Helper for this ability is a Wheelie (specifically a Wheelie Bike). Kirby can also board this Helper to become Wheelie Rider a makeshift psuedo-ability that behaves very simmilar to the regular Wheel ability.
Wheel has had a couple of anime appearances, both involving races of some sort.

[edit] Attacks and Features
| Attack Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheel Roll | B/A | Kirby rolls forward rapidly as a Wheel. When his path is obstructed by a wall or dangerous obstacles like spikes, he crashes and his roll ends. | None |
| Wheel Turn Jump | B + → (Repeatedly) | Kirby jumps a little when rolling, however it also erases invincibility frames from Kirby, making him open for damage. | None |
| Brake | B (Moving) | Kirby stops rolling. | None |
| Slow Down | B (Held) (Moving) | Kirby slows down. This attack also takes away some of his invincibility frames. | None |
[edit] Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
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.
In the Transformation Sequence, Kirby Waves a Checkered Flag around until a tire hits him and he spins around, the tire appears on his head where it turns into the Red Cap, which Kirby fixes so it's on backwards.

[edit] Kirby (Wii)
Wheelie Rider technically appears in a screenshot for the game, but, since Wheel is the base for Wheelie Rider, Wheel is likely to appear in this game. Wheel will probably retain its near-invincibility and insane speed from other games.
