== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Used in ''[[Fushigi BoshiFushigiboshi no Futago HimeFutagohime]]''. Turns out [[Wheel-O-Feet]] + [[Pimped-Out Dress]] = [[Raymanian Limbs]]. Those artists were ''really'' lazy...
* Also utilized in ''[[Real Bout High School]]'', combined with the [[Thundering Herd]] effect, on Ryoko and Azumi in a mad race to be the first to give Tatsuya their bento during a [[Cooking Duel]].
* The ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' manga.
Line 17:
* This and [[Human Hummingbird]] are [[Up to Eleven|defining traits]] of Sana from ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''. It even features prominently in the theme songs.
* Used in [[Narm/Naruto|the most ridiculous way possible for a straight usage]] in [[Naruto]] by {{spoiler|[[A God Am I|Pain]]}} in the anime.
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai (Anime)|Hanaukyo Maid Tai]] La Verite''
** Episode 5.
*** After Konoe Tsurugi is taken away by Comiket security, Yashima Sanae does this while following after her.
Line 31:
* ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'', where Leslie Nielsen tries to outrun a carnivorous train.
* Maruti as Hanuman does this before he starts to attack in ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]''.
* Inverted with Sideswipe from the live-action ''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Transformers]]'' films: he has wheels ''for'' feet!
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 44:
** Even though Sonic's feet actually run in ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'', the animation also has blur effects that evoke the classic wheel as an homage. One of his taunts also has him performing the perplexingly figure-8-shaped Super Peelout from ''[[Sonic CD]]''.
** Several of the 3D games worked similar to ''Brawl'' in using blur effects in the animation of his normal running as an homage. Usually you wouldn't see this unless he was running the fastest he could possibly go, which generally meant Super Sneakers on a straightaway. The games are usually viewed from behind Sonic, making the effect largely impossible to detect most of the time.
** An issue of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Bookcomics)|the American comic]] had Sonic answering [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot|a fan letter]] about how he did it. He proceeded to demonstrate, only to hit a tree in the middle of it.
* Simply walking in ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]] 2'' had this kind of animation where his feet would appear near his front, cycle to his back and sort of roll behind him looking very much like his body is in front of a wheel with feet stuck on them.
** In ''Wario Land: The Shake Dimension'', you can use a Max Fastosity Dasherator for a speed boost, which would give Wario a wheel of feet.
* Chloe in ''[[Touch Detective]]'' does this, usually when put in a tight place by her own words.
* Used in, of all things, ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]''. Although it ''was'' during the silly, pre-killing part.
* In ''[[Yoshis Island (Video Game)|Yoshis Island]]'', the eponymous Yoshi has this when running fast.
* Shy Guys from the [[Super Mario]] series have a unique half-arc running animation.
* In ''[[Spyro the Dragon]] 2,'' Spyro's feet do this when he's using a Supercharge.
Line 59:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Any [[Hanna-Barbera]] production, most notably ''[[The Flintstones (Animation)|The Flintstones]]'' and their broadcast kids' cartoons.
** A series of breakfast cereal toys was even released (if decades later) that follow this trope.
* 1973/74 ''[[Superfriends (Animation)|Superfriends]]'' episodes
** "Too Hot To Handle". Wonder Dog does it after he sees the villain and runs off to get the rest of the team.
** "The Mysterious Moles". Wonder Dog does it to run away after the Moles' underground machine drills out of a wall and scares him.
** "The Shamon U". Dr. Shamon and his two underlings do this before running away from a giant Wonder Dog.
** "The Ultra Beam". Marvin and Wonder Dog do this before running after Ben, the villain with springs on his shoes.
* The Road Runner, in his ''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' shorts.
** Fake Elmer Fudd's wheel was [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|visible]] in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLvttWXLLWk&t=9m10s Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers]''.
* Nickelodeon's animated anthology ''[[Ka Blam! (Animation)|Ka Blam]]!'' had hosts Henry & June demonstrate this, and referred to this as "the bongo run", from the odd drum-like sound effects that often accompany the [[Wheel-O-Feet]] (in this case, literally provided by another character from the linking segments playing the bongos).
* The ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy (Animation)|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' episode "1+1=Ed" had [[Playing Withwith a Trope|a surreal exploration of many different animated tropes.]] At one point, Eddy makes a [[Wheel-O-Feet]], [[Mind Screw|then jumps out and sticks Sarah in it, forcing her to run off.]]
** Played straight in Homecooked Eds when Eddy attempts, and fails, to move the Kankers' trailer.
* Animated series of ''[[Horrible Histories]]''.
* Done often in the animated segments of ''[[The Super Mario Bros Super Show]]!'', with a sped-up version of the "vine climbing" sound effect.
* Usen on ''[[Jimmy Two -Shoes (Animation)|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'' after Jimmy and Beezy are infected with the racing bugs. However, only Jimmy has a wheel of feet. [[Subverted Trope|Beezy's legs are too short to pull that off.]]
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' uses this when resident biped [[Our Dragons Are Different|Spike]] runs.
* In ''[[Clutch Cargo (Animation)|Clutch Cargo]]'', the dog Paddlefoot got a wheel o' feet whenever he ran.
* In ''[[Animalympics (Animation)|Animalympics]]'', this is parodied with the 100-metre dash: the runners take on the characteristics of drag racers.
