Wheel (Copy Ability)

Wheel is a Copy Ability that Kirby can use in the Kirby series, which debuted in Kirby's Adventure. In all of its appearances, it allows Kirby to transform into a large wheel that rolls across the ground at high speeds, defeating enemies it runs over, although being difficult to control.
==Description==
Starting with Kirby Super Star, Wheel Kirby wears a red baseball cap backwards, similar to Yo-yo. The wheel Kirby can transform into is usually pink or red, with a green center and a star printed on both sides.
While a wheel, Kirby will automatically move forward at much higher speeds than he could while walking or running. He is immune to most enemies, and will damage and/or defeat them if he runs them over. However, Kirby will revert back to his normal form if he bumps into a wall or unbreakable object. While he can jump and turn around, the high speed and constant movement make him difficult to control, and he's even vulnerable to damage while doing the former. He does have a few attacks while a wheel, such as a jumping somersault that can hit airborne enemies, a drop that sends Kirby straight down if he's in the air, and the ability to start rolling twice as fast. Its high speed is also used for some puzzle challenges, such as racing against a Bomb Block's blast before it blocks off a reward. While an easy to use ability, it is very difficult to use to its full potential.
The Robobot Armor also has a Wheel Mode based on this ability in Kirby: Planet Robobot. In Kirby's Dream Buffet, Wheel Kirby takes on the form of a frosted donut, and is obtained by collecting a Wheel Donut from a Food Box. Thanks to his new shape, he can roll much faster than normal, as well as knock aside opponents in the way. They are also able to drift to make tighter turns. This ability disappears after a short time.
