"We just built a Self-Balancing Monster Unicycle. It can take us anywhere the fun way. Want to join us?" — Phineas[src] |
The Self-Balancing Monster Unicycle is an unicycle built by Phineas and Ferb as a fun way to reach any place.
History[]
In her lucid dream of an adventure akin to The Wizard of Oz, Candace is disheartened to find out that everyone else has been granted wishes, except for herself. The Wizard returns from her cooking duties just then, receiving the teenager's desire to bust her brothers. Upon learning of Phineas and Ferb's antics, the overseer elucidates the purpose of the journey, to seize experiences along the course of the summer.
Candace, wanting to have fun, begs for the Wizard to give her a chance, only to abruptly part ways with the colorful world, waking up before she could start relishing on the fantasy. As she realizes her mistake, the big sister hears a noise coming from outside. Phineas and Ferb greet her while preparing a ride, which they claim is a fun path. Her views changed, Candace decides to join the kids and Jeremy. Soaring into the horizon, the boys reiterate the lesson for the viewers ("Wizard of Odd").
Design[]
The Self-Balancing Monster Unicycle is a giant one-wheeled vehicle with a red saddle, a yellow interior with two front seats, three middle seats, and a back seat row; dark yellow seatbelts, a white fork frame, a huge black and gray wheel, two white cranks, two black pedals, and two gray exhaust fumes.
Mechanics[]
The Self-Balancing Monster Unicycle is an enhanced motorized unicycle, having more potency than a regular ride thanks to its larger size. Designed like a car, it features an inner engine, which powers the vehicle to its single direction when active, consequently emitting exhaust gases. It possesses its own equilibrium, allowing a semi-automatic motion.
Background Information[]
