    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.

    Dream game

    The original Kirby Air Ride was my favorite Kirby spinoff and one of my favorite gsmes overall. I never thought we'd get a new one, but it was something I always did want. This new game has far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend it for someone wanting a more unique multiplayer game, or anybody who already enjoyed the original. Honestly my Game of the Year 2025, but I admit I'm very biased, this game's existence was a pipe dream for me.
