People always talked about City Trial, but the Air Ride mode is also very interesting with it's very unique progression system.

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhh

this is a seminal game from my childhood u bitches don’t even understand…. so cute & fun. and because i have so much nostalgia for it, i can enjoy playing it in present era even with the standard for today’s graphics quality marring my mind… SO I WIN!!


Played it with my brother for a few hours and it's fun but definitely feels like a game you had to grow up with on order to fully appreciate lt. I'll give it another shot though.

you got NOTHING on my wagon bro

Nintendo ignoring all of there racing franchises that aren't Mario is truly the worst thing they've done and there's a lot of bad I could pick from!

not enough people talk about kirby air ride. and plenty of people do talk about it, it's just not enough. as far as i'm concerned, city trial is the peak of party games. i have played countless games of kirby air ride and i am still always down to play more. this would be my "deserted island" pick for video games. i hope they bring it back someday in some capacity, but until then, i'm gonna keep playing the hell out of the original

aged a lot worse than you think sadly

Multiplayer City Trial is one of the all time great multiplayer Gamecube experiences.

Single player... It's a somewhat mediocre racing game

Rife with imbalance in the vehicle department, and a lot of luck involved City Trial mode(the only mode you will be playing with friends,) it makes for a seriously fun casual game.

Blessed Kirby Air Ride; how on Earth did you get made? One of the more unique and interesting titles in a franchise full of unique and interesting titles. I grew up playing this, and one may even argue it was my first roleplaying-within-a-video-game experience via City Trial's Free Run. Young me walked so modern me could collaboratively write JRPGs inside of MMOs.

Lot of fun if you’ve never played before but it gets so boring so quickly. Stop gassing it up‼️

Kirby Air Ride offers a breezy, unconventional twist on the racing genre. With its emphasis on automatic acceleration and simplified controls, the focus shifts to maneuvering and copying enemy abilities for a frantic and fun-filled experience. While its limited single-player content and lack of in-depth mechanics hamper its longevity, Kirby Air Ride excels as a pick-up-and-play multiplayer game, perfect for casual gatherings with its unique mix of racing and chaotic power-up battles.

This game might as well only have one mode. The normal and top-down races are fine, but get old very quick, since it doesn't have the mechanical depth of other racers that keeps you coming back. On the other hand, City Mode is one of the greatest ideas on the GameCube and I could easily play it for hours without getting bored.

better balance than heritage for the future somehow

Played this as a kid. Was probably cool.
Played this today and I can't think of any reason to spend more than two hours on it.

One of Kirby's most overhyped games.

broke: wanting an air ride sequel because you grew up with it

woke: wanting an air ride sequel because there's a very promising foundation with tons of room to grow

I cannot understand the appeal of this game! The controls are not that good which is unfortunate because the concept of Kirby having a racing game is so awesome to see!

I basically never even played the actual game.

really fun racing game! i was surprised by how much i enjoyed it!

I tried it at friends` places a few times and it's not really my cup of tea. Maybe if I had grown up with it. Either way, the soundtrack is legendary (pun intended)!

While I never had a strong interest in this game, I asked for it as a child just so that I could give it a try, and later received it as a gift. It didn't exactly hook me in at first, so I forgot about it for a while. Today, I came back after a decade or so, and tried each of the three modes again. Really sorry to the Kirby community, but even as a mega Kirby fan myself, I can't for the life of me get into it. I could see how one might enjoy it, and end up playing it for hours without getting bored, but it's just not for me; I'm just content knowing I gave it a chance. I will not be returning to this game.


WHERE IS THIS GAME??? EVERY YEAR WE GET ANOTHER RESKIN OF RETURN TO DREAMLAND BUT WHERE THE HELL IS AIR RIDE 2?? EVEN A REMAKE WOULD SUFFICE!

ignore everything bad people say about thing game!!!!!!! it has kirby in it!!!!!! what more do you need!!!!! goo goo gaga!!!!!!!

One of the most fun racing games ever made. There's an incredible amount of content and it's extremely replayable and fun with friends. The only thing that kills it is some of the unlocks are very tedious and grindy, or are just straight up obnoxious. It's a blast with friends though and clears every game in the Mario Kart franchise.

this shit mid no way kirby fans gas this
