Charge, boost, and spin to attack your rivals in this vehicle action game featuring Kirby and crew. Pick your rider, pick your machine, and mount up for competition! Take on your rivals in frantic arena battles or fast paced races on the ground and in the air. Use the Boost Charge button to brake and control your turns as your machine automatically fights for top speed. Fill your Boost Charge Gauge as you drift around the bend and release it to trigger an explosive dash! Choose from a variety of riders like Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Magolor, and machines including the Warp Star, Wheelie Bike, Chariot, and more. Each machine handles differently, and each rider has their own set of stats and Specials. They can also grab Copy Abilities off their foes to get an edge in the fray. Take part in several different modes which each offer their own kind of gameplay! Zip around the city of Skyah in City Trial: a free for all battle for 16 players online or 8 players via local wireless. Roam around Skyah to find machines, collect power ups, and survive through unpredictable Field Events ranging from falling meteors to powerful boss battles. After five minutes of powering up, you and your rivals will compete in one of a whole host of different Stadium contests, each with its own objective. These include drag races, battle arenas, skydiving for points and more, so it helps to be ready for anything! If more straightforward racing is to your liking, check out Air Ride a frantic dash where you can race again 5 other Riders, or compete online or via local wireless. Attack opposing Riders, or trail close behind their wake, to gather up stars and use the speed boost they provide to beat your rivals to the finish line!
