Kirby's planeswalkers point #2 around
Okay, so let's get down to the announcements, starting with the return of the usual style...
The popular attraction returns in Kirby Sky Rider!This "nice and simple" game mode (Sakurai's words, not ours) takes a standard air rider and flips the top of the bird.
Four players can play it locally and eight players can play it online, each given the option to play on a single screen in classic GameCube mode (although 60fps split-screen is available for City Trials and Air Raid Races).
Sakurai has revealed six Top Ride courses – Flower, Flow, Air, Crystal, Steam and Mountain – and you'll also be able to see all of the following special items in the game mode:
- Flift Flames
- drill driver
- Missile seeker
- QuAKER
This new game mode will allow you to take to the open road, complete races and challenges from Air Ride, City Trial, Top Ride, Stadiums and more.
There are shops and rest stops along the way where you can improve your rider's skills, pick up new parts, or collect familiar series faces to aid your journey.
Those who want to be a part of the online game will have the opportunity to create a virtual driver's license and do it themselves with all kinds of stamps, colors and names.
Once it's posted to your liking, you can explore the 'paddock' - a new remote area where you can get a tour while you wait for the start.Here, you can teachers, cough several times a sentence, change the music and ... stand on top of the cake?Hey, what do you suggest Sakurai-San.
Remember the list of abilities we got in the last air rider?Yes, there is more.Here's everything that was revealed this time:
In online competition, the potential player you happen upon is determined by your class.Based on your performance in each game type, you will be given a touch point to win power points based on power points, which will increase your color level.These levels determine your online competition, so everything doesn't feel bad.

On top of that, Sakurai said that the popular engine will be updated, so you'll want to check out the hydra.
If the city is too small to experiment with, it can solve the practice of war.As you'd expect, it groups the contestants into eight teams of eight players, and the final stage separates everyone from their peer group to ensure things are at home.
Of course, a few extra skulls are thrown in for good measure.All those introduced to us in this round, along with their unique skills, are shown here:
- Lulu and Lalala
- RokiJs (Meteor Rocky)
- Rick (Rip-Ricky Rick)

True Smash Bros. Kirby Air Riders style announcers will be heard everywhere.They proudly announce more and more game modes, races, and power-ups.Fortunately, they have two voices that are integrated and available in the following languages.

-Spanish (Latin America)

You can turn them off as you like, don't worry
Time quote & free service
In both Air Ride and Top Run modes, you can play 'Time Attack' and 'Free Run'.They don't have online rankings, so you just have to compete against yourself.
Time Attack is all about getting the best time over a number of laps, using enemies and objects to increase your speed.The goal of free running, on the other hand, is to get the best time free from enemies and objects.
Time is saved based on the machine.
City Trial's Free Run mode allows you to freely explore Skyah.You'll find all the vehicles stored in a garage so you can freely switch between them, and there's even an exclusive machine, the Flight Warp Star, that lets you draw inverted tracks.
And yes, there is a photo mode for all of the above, because there really is!
We know about a bunch more and more stadiums at the moment.Here are all the new ones:
- Button Rush - run through the buttons and fight for zone control
- jump jump - Turn left and jump as high as you can
- Massive Battle - Grow mighty and do your best to dominate the battle.
- Oval Circuit - race through a closed circuit
- Railroad Panic - Move along the gravel tracks to take the lead
- Bean Gauntlet - Past Gride destroy eggs and do it at the end
Boss battles are back in Kirby Air Riders and this Direct introduced us to Robo Dedede, a transforming Dedede that can switch between a fighter and a car.You must work as a team to take down this boss by bumping into him and using abilities scattered around the arena.
Completing a goal will flip the tabs on the checklist page, revealing a small part of the bigger picture.You can select a specific checklist box to try it right away.
Full machine customization is also possible, allowing you to add patterns, stickers, accessories and effects to your vehicle.
You can go to the car market to buy and sell custom designed cars using in-game currency.
Oh yes, the biggest reveal of all: all the contestants can wear a silly little hat!These headgear items have no effect on the racer's stats, but they look adorable.Here's everything we've seen so far:
- red cap
- another hat
- Ribbon cap
- My horn
- flower pin
This is a new collection of unique cars for the game to beat other competitors and other competitors.
They have very little use, but you can play with them using a Kirby-shaped pointer in mouse mode, so that's...something.
Shogo Sakai and Noriyuki Iwadare composed the soundtrack for the game, and in My Music you can adjust how likely each track is to play in City Trials mode.
Naturally, there's also a music player option, and some tracks will be added to Nintendo Music soon.
Air riders seem chock full of access options.Here's everything we've seen so far:
- The control stick is inserted
- Listening button
- Filters
- Remove the beautiful screen
- Changing the field of view of the screen
For those who don't want to change things individually, there are preset options in the access menu.
Three (yes, three) new Air Rider amiibo were also revealed. Similar to previously announced pairs, Meta Knight and Shadow Star, King Dedede and Tank Star, and Kawasaki Chef and Hop Star are all interchangeable between vehicles, allowing you to scan and race in your favorite combinations.
