"Kirby is a uniquely wholesome Nintendo character, yet his games often have a quirky mean streak to them. They're all about letting players absorb enemies and take on some wild powers to tear through vibrant stages with reckless abandon. That's especially true with Kirby Air Riders, the long-awaited sequel to the GameCube classic racing game, Kirby Air Ride. Much like the original, it's a fast-paced racing game starring Kirby and friends"
"Like the original game, you race through a variety of stages inspired by the Kirby series. The sequel takes things further with an expanded roster of Kirby characters, such as Meta Knight and King Dedede, each with their own unique skills and stats as racers. While you race through traditional tracks, Air Riders - much like the original - also opens up free-for-all action stages and mini-games that test your skills in drifting, gliding, and the classic ability of sucking up to gain new powers."
Kirby Air Riders returns to fast-paced, chaotic racing by letting players pilot Kirby and an expanded roster through visually striking tracks and free-for-all stages. Characters like Meta Knight and King Dedede offer distinct skills and stats that affect racing strategies. Core mechanics include drifting, gliding, and absorbing enemies to gain powers, blending unconventional systems into a racer framework. Game director Masuhiro Sakurai channels a 'go-for-broke' energy reminiscent of Smash Bros into a genre-bending experience. PAX West hands-on time revealed deep yet approachable mechanics, a mix of traditional tracks, action stages, and mini-games emphasizing speed and chaotic interaction.
