The realistic animation of running characters on a budget is just too hard. Instead, a vertical upper body is perched on a rotating wheel of blur linesnote In most Japanese works, however, it's usually a white spiraling sphere. and (occasionally) visible feet, which is animated in a loop. Add a Wraparound Background and some dustclouds, and voila, the character is running! And really fast, too! An alternate title for this trope could be Unicycle Legs, since if the character builds up enough speed they tend to look like they're on a unicycle. The preferred sound effect is fast bongos, followed by a whistle (or a ricochet gunshot). Sometimes, just to draw out this sound effect (for Rule of Funny, of course), the character will literally run in place for about four seconds before actually taking off. They'll usually manage to get away just before the person chasing them can catch them, but sometimes the trope will be subverted by having their pursuer grab them just before they can dart away. Or take their pursuer with them on a not-so-merry chase. When running, the character may sound like a race engine. See also No Knees, Running on the Spot, Human Hummingbird, and Motion Blur (of which it is a Sub-Trope). Big Ball of Violence is the same principle applied to a fight scene. Not to Be Confused with characters whose feet are wheels, which falls under a variant of Rollerblade Good. |

Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations after it achieved a similar effect by adding a motion blur effect of all Sonic's motions above a certain speed. While Sonic's entire body is still visible, once he gets up to full speed, his legs will become so blurred from the constant motions that it'll evoke the same effect. Especially noticable in 2D sections where you can see the full range of motion. | |

Simply walking in Wario Land II 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: Shake It!, you can use a Max Fastosity Dasherator for a speed boost, which would give Wario a wheel of feet. |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: "The Ghost of Paradise Estate, Part 2": When Pluma scares one of the ponies while pretending to be a ghost, the pony briefly gains two of these — one for her front legs and one for her back ones — while running in place before fleeing. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic uses this mostly when resident biped Spike runs. |

In Tomato Adventure, during one of Demiru and Sofubii's Awesome attacks, Demiru pulls out a piece of chocolate for Sofubii, resulting in a chase between them. while Sofubii's running takes the form of a spinning spiral, Demiru's is more of a circular gradient animation. | |

In an episode of The Muppet Show, a character has three legs in a wheel arrangement, wildly spinning as a background scrolls behind him and he sings "Windmills of Your Mind" with a constant accelerando. Amusingly, he later appears in another sketch, and he's still equipped with the leg-wheel, no longer spinning. | |

Kung Fu Hustle, namely the chase scene with the landlady running after the hero. To reinforce how absurd this is, the hero uses two knives buried in his shoulders as rear-view mirrors, and at the end the landlady goes flying and ends up flattened against a billboard (somehow losing her panties, hair rollers and bra upon impact). | |

Sonic Adventure had a strange case with this. In the initial Japanese release, Sonic has a very noticeable wheel-o'-feet effect consisting of distorting his legs/shoes and blurring the motion (similar to how the game handles Tails' tails while running). But the International version reduced it to just the distortion, eliminating the blur, and the DX remake removed the effect altogether. | |

Asterix: The Twelve Tasks of Asterix: For the first Task, Asterix has to beat a Greek sprinter who's said to be the fastest in the world. Both have wheel-o-feet when running, but Asterix spins his legs effortlessly and faster due to the magic potion (even pausing to gather fruits and flowers and go back in the race like it's nothing), so the Greek runner literally turns into a rocket... and crashes into an apple tree. The Secret of the Magic Potion: When chasing a trio of boars alongside Astérix in the opening sequence, Obelix's feet are animated as a circular blur when he gets his head stuck in a log — simply revving up and continuing the chase log and all. |

Several of the 3D games worked similar to Super Smash Bros. 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. However, in Sonic Lost World, it's not only a lot more noticeable, even when you look behind him, the blur now appears as part of Sonic's run animation (in the form of the returning Super Peel-Out, now acting as the running animation in addition to the technique he can perform). | |

The Evas do this in Rebuild of Evangelion when racing to catch Sahaquiel before he Colony Drops himself on Tokyo 3. Considering that the animation style is usually pretty realistic (giant monsters notwithstanding), this comes of not so much as cartoonish as eldritch, demonstrating that these things are so immensely powerful that they can bend the very laws of physics. | |

Until he made the jump to 3D Sonic the Hedgehog games, Sonic's running animation was always done like this. The biggest example of this is Sonic CD which introduces the Super Peelout, a move where the blue blur runs on place before taking a sprint and where his feet form a figure-8-shaped◊ Mobius strip. This is kept in one of his taunts in the Super Smash Bros. series: in these same games, while Sonic actually runs, his feet still have a blur effect that evokes the classic wheel as an homage. Sonic Adventure had a strange case with this. In the initial Japanese release, Sonic has a very noticeable wheel-o'-feet effect consisting of distorting his legs/shoes and blurring the motion (similar to how the game handles Tails' tails while running). But the International version reduced it to just the distortion, eliminating the blur, and the DX remake removed the effect altogether. Several of the 3D games worked similar to Super Smash Bros. 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. However, in Sonic Lost World, it's not only a lot more noticeable, even when you look behind him, the blur now appears as part of Sonic's run animation (in the form of the returning Super Peel-Out, now acting as the running animation in addition to the technique he can perform). The blur effect's applied to Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations when he runs as a throwback, since he plays similarly to the Genesis games.note He's supposed to be the Sonic from the that era's games. Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations after it achieved a similar effect by adding a motion blur effect of all Sonic's motions above a certain speed. While Sonic's entire body is still visible, once he gets up to full speed, his legs will become so blurred from the constant motions that it'll evoke the same effect. Especially noticable in 2D sections where you can see the full range of motion. |

Seen twice in the FLCL episode "Marquis de Carabas": The mayor's secretary does this while running away from a horde of paparazzi surrounding Ninamori's house. Haruko briefly goes into this mode when running away from the Monster of the Week. Of course, since the animation is very good in this show, it was instead done for comedic effect. |
