Truck Monster is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Physical Appearance[]
Truck Monsters have the same form, but their colors depend on their driver: green when driven by Waddle Dee, orange when driven by Dandan, and blue when driven by Cyclod. All Truck Monsters are cars with red and yellow headlights, black wheels, and a gray spike on their back.
Games[]
Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[]
Truck Monsters only appear in stages that involve the Off-Roader; they first appear in Pyramid Sands, and later appear in Dusk Dunes and Frigid Fjords. Truck Monsters do not directly attack, but instead race to the goal (which is actually a Reel Gate for the Off-Roader transformation). As the race starts, Truck Monsters will fall onto the race track and start their race. Kirby and Prince Fluff can damage them by jumping on top of them; however, if Kirby or Prince Fluff touch the spike on the backside, they would spin out of control and lose beads (any beads that land behind the Off-Roader cannot be recovered) unless the player uses the booster Metamortex, which will cause the Truck Monster to lose control instead. Truck Monsters give no rewards upon their defeat.
Upon passing the goal, Truck Monsters eject their driver onto the podium if that driver finished third or better. If they finished fourth or worse, the Truck Monsters and their driver vanish.
Trivia[]
- The cast for Truck Monster depicts Waddle Dee driving a blue vehicle, however this does not happen in the game itself; Waddle Dees drive green vehicles, whereas Cyclod drives the blue vehicle.
- The only Off-Roader section of the game where Truck Monsters do not appear is Meta Melon Isle.
- Pyramid Sands is the only level where Truck Monsters do not appear throughout most of the level; instead, their first appearance in the level is past halfway.
