    A wonderful sequel and homage to a slept-on game

    If you liked Kirby Air Ride on GameCube, you’ll love this. It’s almost the same game but with tons of added content. Kirby Air Riders treads the line between sequel and remake by the skin of its tippy toes. All I have to say is City Trial with online multiplayer is chaotic and addicting.

    A GREAT game to play with friends!

    This game is so much fun to play on your own and it’s even better with friends. There is so much content in Kirby Air Riders. You have 4 main modes to play in: Air Ride (standard racing mode), City Trial (battle), Top Ride (racing from a top-down perspective), and Road Trip (Story Mode). There are so many things to collect: characters, machines (karts), tracks. And also Miles (in-game currency) that you earn from playing and can use to purchase cute outfits for your Riders! There are also tons of challenges to complete and you are rewarded with unlocking the previously mentioned things and also with Miles. You’re also able to customize your Air Ride Machines and there is much room for creativity! There’s even more features besides this but I don’t want to go on for too long. I highly recommend this game and definitely think you get your money’s worth. There is a lot to do!

    The Perfect Sequel

    If you loved Kirby Air Ride in 2003, you'll positively adore this sequel. For those unfamiliar with the series, it may take some getting used to, but if you suspend your expectations and take in what it offers, you'll be surprised with a delightful experience that is as deep as it is wide in serving content. From a robust online offering to a satisfying single player campaign and offline modes, the game caters to however you want to play. A variety of racers, costumes, and vehicles keeps things constantly fresh, and the customization allows users to express their own creativity or enjoy the work of others. This is a must pick up for Switch 2 owners.

    Makes the Switch 2 feel like a true toy

    Kirby Air Riders is pure fun from the moment you start your first race. The controls are really simple, so it’s easy for anyone to pick up, but there’s still enough depth with different machines and powers to keep it interesting. The tracks are bright, creative, and packed with little shortcuts that make you want to replay them to see everything. Local multiplayer has been a blast in my house and it’s the kind of game you can play for 10 minutes or an entire evening. If you like Kirby or arcade-style racers, this one is an easy recommendation.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Nintendo Switch 2
4.9(68)

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has faster frame rates and higher resolution, but that’s not all—there’s also an additional story in which Kirby must use his amazing abilities, including some all-new Mouthful Modes, to clear a trail through uncharted territory after the world is struck by a powerful meteor. Hope you’re hungry for an unforgettable adventure! Get a mouthful of real-world objects for powerful transformations. Feeling hungry? Kirby can inhale real-world objects and transform using Mouthful Mode! Why get one drink from a vending machine when you can swallow the whole thing? Then, use your boxy body to shoot out cans at baddies. Consume a car to gain some wheels and slam through walls. Sit back and take it all in…literally. Join up with a pointy partner, Bandana Waddle Dee, in co-op play. Pass a Joy-Con 2 controller to a buddy to play as the spear-wielding Bandana Waddle Dee and help each other explore and battle through this colorful world. While Kirby can float and inhale enemies, Bandana Waddle Dee can spin and stab with his sturdy spear. Find friendship in this Forgotten Land and save the Waddle Dees! Float over obstacles and fight through enemies on your way to each stage’s goal as you slash, poke, freeze, and hammer using Kirby’s Copy Abilities. The tough puff is truly put to the test in dynamic boss battles that will keep you dancing about the arena. Choose from two difficulty modes for either a light, breezy adventure or a more challenging experience. Each themed stage you travel through will hide several friendly Waddle Dees in peril! Save them to grow the home base of your adventure, the once-deserted Waddle Dee Town. The Waddle Dees you rescue will unlock shops, leaderboards, and the ability to evolve Copy Abilities to make them stronger. You’ll also be able to enjoy some of the townsfolk’s favorite games. Use compatible amiibo accessories or Present Codes at Waddle Dee-liveries for useful in-game items. Track down cute collectibles to give Kirby’s house some extra charm either at the Gotcha Machine Alley or during your adventure.
