Wheelchair Guy

Wheelchair Guy
Single Playable Character
Vehicle	Wheelchair
Speed	Slow; Fast with Jet
Character Size	Medium
Included in Happy Wheels as of version	1.0

Wheelchair Guy was the first playable character included in Happy Wheels, the eldest character, and is the mascot of the game. His attire consists mainly of torn clothes, such as a green shirt and purple pants. He wears a yellow shirt underneath his green shirt, and has a bandage strapped around his left forearm. He is known for his ability to use his jet to fly, appearance on the game's menu, and possibly a minor role as an enemy in Jim Bonacci's flash game Divine Intervention. He is an elderly man who appears to be homeless and unclean. It is unknown how he acquired his jet-powered wheelchair, which did not appear in Divine Intervention. The jet explodes when crushed with enough pressure, and uses the same explosion animation as the landmine, though it does not harm the player.
The jet on the wheelchair is also now an object in the level editor in the movement section. The power, angle, fixation, and time can be edited within the editor for the editor jet. Wheelchair Guy's jet power is 1, according to the size. However, it seems to be more powerful than a regular power 1 jet.
'Wheelchair Guy' is one of the five Happy Wheels characters capable of coherent speech, including Irresponsible Dad, Moped Couple, Lawnmower Man, and Santa Claus. Some of the phrases he speaks when hurt include "Ow my leg!" and "Save me!" Jim did the voices for Wheelchair Guy, as well as for Irresponsible Dad and Santa Claus.

• Voice commands are not properly 'said', for instance, the Wheelchair Guy will say 'Oh, my leg!' if he gets stabbed in the back with a blade weapon.
• A rare glitch (most common on old computers) is that if one of his arms falls off, another one will immediately appear in it's place.
• In the level editor, you will see that Wheelchair Guy's head and neck is foregrounded over his shoulder.
