Changes: Wheelie Scooter

Latest revision as of 17:22, 20 January 2021

“	Jumps up very high. Charge up for quick rotation.”
	— Wheelie Scooter's Flavor text • Kirby Air Ride

The Wheelie Scooter is an Air Ride Machine that appears in Kirby Air Ride. Kirby also rides it in an episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Born to Be Mild - Part II.

Physical Appearance

The Wheelie Scooter has a light green and brown coloration, and its overall appearance is based on that of a motor scooter, having similar mechanics, appearance, and sounds while sharing attributes with the Wheelie Bike.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, the Wheelie Scooter's appearance is the same as in Kirby Air Ride with one difference: its eye is more simplistic, and is orange rather than brown.

General Information

Unlike the other bike machines, the Wheelie Scooter has an excellent jump stat, the second highest acceleration (tied with Meta Knight), and the highest charging speed in the game. It also has excellent handling, and while charging, can turn on a dime. However, its Top Speed is very low (it is the 4th slowest machine in the game), it gets no boost from charging, and it is very light, with low HP, offense, and defense.

The Wheelie Scooter gains a lot of speed after a jump, and can stay in the air longer than the other bikes. Like the Jet Star, it can turn most corners without charging.

Strategies

The Wheelie Bike is most effective in jump-based City Trial Stadium events, and is capable of out-performing the Winged Star in some situations. This jump ability also makes it fairly effective at Air Ride races.

In Destruction Derby and Kirby Melee events, the Wheelie Scooter is only adept at camping (with certain Copy Abilities) and stalling. Otherwise, it is easily knocked out, and its spin and ram attacks do very little damage.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

WheelieScooterAnime — Kirby riding the Wheelie Scooter in King Dedede's race.

Wheelie Scooter appears in the episode Born to Be Mild - Part II. Kirby rides it in his race with Fang. After Kirby acquires the Wheel ability, he no longer needs the Wheelie Scooter, and so leaves it behind on the track.

Related Quotes

“	This machine has great acceleration but poor top speed. You can get healthy boosts of speed on it by using the rails and jumps along the course.”

Trivia

The headlight on the front of the Wheelie Scooter is constantly on; this is more noticeable when in a dark area.
There's a glitch where if Quick Spinning and charging while up against a wall, the Wheelie Scooter will accelerate up to around 70mph.

-It excels in turning, charging, and jumping, but it has poor weight, defense, stamina, and offense, making it a bad choice for Destruction Derbies or Kirby Melees because it can be easily knocked around and destroyed.
