Happy Wheels
Happy Wheels is a side-scrolling ragdoll physics game. Navigate through the levels using one of several unique characters without being torn limb from limb. Sound easy? Think again. Happy Wheels was one of the earliest browser games to utilize wacky ragdoll physics as a key element of the game.
How to Play Happy Wheels
Happy Wheels emerged in 2010, taking the browser gaming world by storm with its wild mechanics, bizarre characters, and elaborate user-created levels. Still available in its original form today, you can explore the ingenious levels created by players and try out various characters in the game.
Levels
You can play through various original and user-created levels in Happy Wheels. There are countless selections to choose from, some of which are easier to play through with certain characters. Depending on the level, you could find yourself riding your wheelchair through someone's stomach or plowing through a forest on an angry cat.
The goal of each level varies, from reaching the end to collecting all the tokens. Some levels are entirely aimless. You can also design your own tracks and share them with the rest of the world for testing.
Happy Wheels Characters
The Original 4
The characters in Happy Wheels are far from conventional in a platformer. Instead of having superpowers, you're pretty much a regular guy. The first character is Wheelchair Guy, a slightly ragged-looking older man in a jet-powered wheelchair. As you can imagine, a jet-powered wheelchair is pretty tough to control without causing severe injury.
Segway Guy, on the other hand, is a bit more manageable and a common choice among seasoned Happy Wheels gamers. The other two original game characters are Irresponsible Dad (who rather irresponsibly has his kid on the back seat) and Effective Shopper, who rides a mobility scooter.
Each character in Happy Wheels has an ability unique to them. Segway Guy can jump, and Wheelchair Guy can turbo-boost his jet thrusters to move faster. Learn more about the Happy Wheels character abilities.
Newer Characters
As Happy Wheels continued to provide endless gory entertainment for the gaming world, several new characters were released. These include the creatively named Moped Couple, Lawnmower Man, Explorer Guy, Santa Claus, Pogo Stick Man, Irresponsible Mom, and Helicopter Man.
