found in Kirby's first-ever racing game.

Gulp down enemies scattered throughout each course to copy their
abilities. Unleash the power of Bomb Kirby, Wing Kirby, Freeze Kirby,
Sword Kirby, Fire Kirby and lots more.

Unlock and master 15 Air Ride Machines, each with different features
and distinctive control styles.

Complete 350 hidden challenges to unlock a wide variety of cool
special features.

Use Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adaptors in LAN mode to allow each
player to have his or her own personal screen.
In Air Ride mode, you'll race to the finish line against your friends or
computer-controlled competition. There are three ways to play in Air Ride
mode: Air Ride, Time Attack and Free Run. In Air Ride mode, your goal is
to take first place by completing a set number of laps or by going the
farthest distance within a set time limit. Time Attack has you racing to
beat your best three-lap time, and in Free Run you'll race alone to try to
beat your best one-lap time on a course.
Top Ride mode delivers
light-hearted 2D racing action from a sky-high view. Up to four players
can race to the finish line using wild items like Buzz Saws, Drills,
Freeze Fans and many more to pester the competition. Like Air Ride, Top
Ride has three separate modes of play designed to put your racing skills
to the test.
In City Trial mode, you'll race around a gigantic
fantasy city in a quest to build the ideal machine to use in a random
challenge that occurs after a set time limit. The more of City Trial's 120
objectives you complete, the larger the pool of random challenges becomes.
The challenges cover a wide variety of scenarios, ranging from quick
one-lap races to insanely fast drag races. There are literally dozens of
challenges to conquer!
Bottom Line
Don't let Kirby's
cuteness fool you -- Kirby Air Ride is crawling with tough challenges
suitable for players of all ages. Cool Air Ride Machines and Kirby's
trademark copy abilities combine to make this game a must-play for any
Kirby fan!
