Truck Monster is anenemy which appears inKirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn duringOff-Roader sections of stages. The term refers not to one particular enemy, but to any enemy which drives the specific vehicle involved, being an off-roader style car. The driver could be aWaddle Dee,Dandan, orCyclod.
Truck Monsters appear whenKirby transforms into anOff-Roader and challenge him to a race. When driving down the road, Kirby will be able to pass them if he keeps his speed up, but will be hurt if he collides into them. This can be averted by jumping over them, jumping on top of them, or using a boost to drive through them. At the end of the track, the various drivers will appear on a race podium, with an empty slot for Kirby if he placed third or above in the race. Naturally, getting a higher place will yield a higher podium, and yield a greater reward inBeads.
