About Kirby Air Riders

Kirby Air Riders is Sora and Nintendo’s vehicle action for Nintendo Switch 2. Pick a rider and a machine, then race on the ground and in the air or clash in arena battles. The Boost Charge button brakes and steers while the machine keeps fighting for speed; fill the Boost Charge Gauge on a drift and release an explosive dash.

City Trial sends up to 16 riders online or 8 over local wireless across Skyah for five minutes of power-ups, machine swaps and Field Events such as falling meteors and boss fights, then a Stadium contest drawn from four options. Air Ride is a race against up to five other players. Top Ride shows the whole course from above. Road Trip is the single-player story of Zorah, using the same playstyles. The Paddock lobby gathers up to 32 players for City Trial, Air Ride, Top Ride and more, with casual and ranked matches. Copy Abilities, Specials, Quick Spin and the Machine Market with Miles sit on top of that loop. Online features need Nintendo Switch Online.
