The stats were taken at the Garage, unaffected by any Rider's stats. But, the numerical values are estimates as they are not shown in-game!

Wheelie Bike's high Top Speed allows players to roam around the map quicker, while its decent Turn and Grip stats can let players maneuver better to aim Captures and use Copy Abilities to defeat hordes of enemies at once.

Kirby Melee Tips and Strategies




Use a Machine With Strong Offense and Turn Control

Kirby Melee focuses on combat, so choose a machine that offers a good mix of turn, offense, and defensive stability. Heavy machines can withstand hits and deal heavy damage, while balanced machines give you reliable combos and safer positioning. Avoid overly lightweight machines since these wil break easily unless you rely on speed ambush tactics.

List of All Machines and Vehicles

Take Advantage of Quick Movement

Use quick turns, short hops, and break-and-boost movement to avoid incoming attacks. Keep moving to make yourself harder to target.

Grab Power-Ups Before Your Opponents

Power-Ups appear throughout the arena and can give you instant combat advantages such as extra damage, projectiles, or mobility boosts. Collecting them early prevents enemies from gaining those benefits themselves. Securing items is one of the fastest ways to swing the momentum in your favor during chaotic Melee battles.

Use Copy Abilities to Dominate the Arena

Use Copy Abilities to Control the Race

Inhaling enemies grants abilities that are extremely powerful in Melee. Sword, Fire, Wheel, and other offensive abilities can pressure opponents, break their guard, and deal burst damage. Use them to control space, punish groups of rivals, or secure finishing hits.
