Jackle[Japanese title] is a hovering enemy that made its debut in Kirby's Return to Dream Land in the Nutty Noon level. It yields the Cutter ability when swallowed.
Jackle resembles a Wheelie in appearance, but its top half is blue and its bottom half is yellow. It bears blades on its top and bottom sides, as well as a red nose on its forward-facing side. It hovers in the air, staying in place, and will attempt to throw a cutter projectile in a straight line in order to hit intruders. Its cutter blades can go fairly far, but it is not difficult to defeat. While most Jackles attack in only one of four preset directions, some can turn towards their target within a semicircle, including diagonally.
