Ready, set, battle!
Charge, boost, and spin to attack your rivals in Kirby Air Riders, a fast-paced vehicle action featuring Kirby and crew – only on Nintendo Switch 2.

Riders at the ready!
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 from Kirby’s Adventure Wii, 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 on highly varied arena battles in City Trial
Zip around the city of Skyah in City Trial: a free-for-all battle for 16 players online or eight 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!

Race to the finish in Air Ride
If straightforward racing is more your speed, check out Air Ride: a frantic dash where you can race against five 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!
