Kirby Air Riders

On your marks - get set - fight!

In Kirby Air Riders, a fast-paced vehicle action game starring Kirby and Co., it's all about charging, using turbo and attacking rivals with whirling attacks - only on Nintendo Switch 2.

Choose your rider, choose your machine and the competitions can begin! Face your rivals in turbulent arena battles or in fast-paced races on the ground and at lofty heights.

You can use the turbo charge button to brake and corner, while your machine automatically fights its way up to maximum speed. The turbo charge meter fills up as you drift into corners, and as soon as you release the button, you'll get a turbocharged speed boost!

Choose from a variety of riders like Kirby, Meta-Knight, King Dedede, and Magolor from Kirby's Adventure Wii, as well as machines like Warp Star, Wheelie Bike, Auriga, and more. Every machine controls itself slightly differently and every rider has his own range of characteristics and special techniques. They can also steal special power from their opponents to gain an advantage in battle.

Features:

• Engage in a variety of arena battles in City Trial - Race through the city of Celestia in City Trial, a free-to-play battle mode that pits 16 players online or eight players wirelessly locally. Explore Celestia and find machines, collect buffs, and survive unpredictable field events - from fierce meteor hail to powerful boss fights. After you and your rivals have strengthened each other with items for five minutes, you'll compete against each other in one of many different stadium competitions, each with their own objectives. These include full-throttle races, battle arenas, long-distance flying for points and more. So it can't hurt to arm yourself for anything!
• Race across the finish line in Air Ride - If you're more in the mood for pure racing fun, check out Air Ride: a fast-paced sprint to the finish line where you can race against five other players or compete online or locally. Bump into other riders or stay close behind them to collect stars. These will give you a speed boost that will propel you on your way to the finish line!
