Scorch Wheel

"Mega Man: The Scorch Wheel launches a flaming wheel, right? Dr. Light: Yes, and the wheel may also burn the things it touches."

- Mega Man and Dr. Light

Scorch Wheel, known as Burning Wheel (バーニングホイール) in Japan and the English version of Mega Man: The Power Battle, is Turbo Man's Special Weapon.

When equipped by Mega Man in Mega Man 7, he sends a wheel of fire in front of him, and it rolls on the ground like a normal wheel. If the player holds the attack button, the fire wheels will rotate around him for a while before being launched. Scorch Wheel can be used to scorch certain objects, especially the trees in Slash Man's stage (this is how Beat is found) and can even be used on some ice on the floors on Freeze Man's stage. Scorch Wheel can also light the torches in the dark corridor in Shade Man's stage, allowing the player to see the platforms, the spikes, and the rest of the landscape.
