Kirby Air Ride

カービィのエアライド

System	GameCube
Developer	HAL Laboratory
Genre	Racing

A Warp Star racing game across Dream Land starring Kirby. Your Warp Star automatically accelerates, so you only have to steer and boost around the tracks.

As well as the main racing game, there's a top-down racing game, and a City Trial mode, where you have to power up your star to take part in a series of minigames.

Instead of winning cups, each game mode has over 100 challenges that you have to complete, unlocking new Warp Stars, playable characters and events. As you complete them, the criteria for more challenges become visible.
