About this product

Charge, boost, and spin to attack your rivals in this vehicle action game featuring Kirby and crew. Pick your rider, pick your machine, and mount up for competition! Take on your rivals in frantic arena battles or fast-paced races on the ground and in the air. Use the Boost Charge button to brake and control your turns as your machine automatically fights for top speed. Fill your Boost Charge Gauge as you drift around the bend and release it to trigger an explosive dash! Choose from a variety of riders like Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Magolor from the Kirby’s Return to Dream Land game, and machines including the Warp Star, Wheelie Bike, Chariot, and more. Each machine handles differently, and each rider has their own set of stats and Specials—they can also grab Copy Abilities off their foes to get an edge in the fray. Take on highly varied arena battles in City Trial, or race to the finish in Air Ride. Zip around the city of Skyah in City Trial: a free-for-all battle for 16 players online* or 8 players via local wireless. Roam around Skyah to find machines, collect power-ups, and survive through unpredictable Field Events ranging from falling meteors to powerful boss battles. After five minutes of powering up, you and your rivals will compete in one of a whole host of different Stadium contests, each with its own objective. These include drag races, battle arenas, skydiving for points and more, so it helps to be ready for anything! If more straightforward racing is to your liking, check out Air Ride a frantic dash where you can race again 5 other Riders, or compete online or via local wireless. Attack opposing Riders, or trail close behind their wake, to gather up stars—and use the speed boost they provide to beat your rivals to the finish line! Nintendo / SORA.

    Phenomenal

    Variety is the word here. So many different modes, machines, characters etc. its all about learning the properties of each one and how to utilize them. It plays nothing like mario kart- if you are expecting it to, you wont like it. This is the first game on switch 2 that actually feels worth the price.

    Great game

    Great game. Wish they had a physical copy though. The game had just launched and my local beat but only had the download code. Overall a good experience and a really good game

    Haven’t played- but already love

    I haven’t played it yet but based on the content I’ve seen and the overall passion that went into the creation of the game + the effort to release a full game without DLC tells me it’s going to be good

    Good game.

    The game is beginner friendly but hard to master. It has a fun solo adventure and it's a great multiplayer game.
