Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* But of course, the first skating [[Humongous Mecha]] is the MS-09 Dom from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', which uses jets built into its legs to skate along the ground instead of running.
* This is taken to an extreme in ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]: Divine Wars'', in which just about every mecha not capable of atmospheric flight can instead hover-skate over not only the ground, but the ''water'' as well.
* Jango, the [[Humongous Mecha]] from ''[[BakuretsuBurst TenshiAngeli]]'', has rollerskates and a jet engine. Actually has a function, as they're meant for speeding through Tokyo's highways.
* In the first episode of ''[[Kaleido Star]]'', Sora Naegino catches a pair of loaner rollerblades to chase after a luggage thief, going [[Roof Hopping|awning-hopping]] to finally track him down. {{spoiler|Her rollerblade skating abilities come handy later, when she has to train for a role in ''Dracula'' that includes ''ice-skating''. Too bad she loses to May, a top-notch ice skater.}}
* ''[[Air Gear]]'' uses this liberally with the ATs, which actually ''fly''.
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
* In [[Robots]], Cappy (voiced by Halle Berry) kicks down wheels embedded in her feet and "rollerderbies" a few bad guys to help Rodney and Bigweld escape, then later in the underground battle with Madame Gasket (voiced by Jim Broadbent) she uses them again.
* ''[[Whip It]]'' is about a misfit who discovers that she has a hidden talent when she joins a roller derby league.
* Ron gives a bogart-turned-giant spider these in ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|PrizonerHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.]]''.

Line 81 ⟶ 80:
* Subverted in ''[[World War Z]]'' where a mercenary tells how he saw a kid on roller blades wielding a hockey stick with a cleaver at the end of it. He was grabbed at the ankle (making him fall), and then dragged into a gutter. And then called a "dumbass". By ''Paris Hilton''.
 
== Live -Action TV ==
 
* The Quantum Ranger's power-up armor in ''[[Power Rangers Time Force]]'' had rollerblades.
Line 121 ⟶ 120:
* ''[[Steel Battalion]]: Line of Contact'' changed 5th gear into a wheel mode. Fast and smooth on level terrain, but worse for climbing and much harder on the balancer during turns, increasing the likelihood of the VT tipping over if the pilot isn't careful.
* Grace from the [[Sega Saturn]] game ''[[Fighting Vipers]]'' was equipped with a pair of roller blades.
* ''[[Honkai Impact 3rd]]'': Timido is [[An Ice Person]] who moves and fights using ice skates.
