The gauge for the Plasma Copy Ability will go up over time, even without wiggling the Control Stick. The gauge's charge will determine what kind of projectile gets sent out when you unleash it—a fully-charged plasma attack is pretty massive! #KirbyAirRiders

The Rex Wheelie is a sturdy bike machine. Though not the fastest, its firepower is very strong. It'll serve you well in races and battles alike. #KirbyAirRiders

A nearly-broken machine will be faster than normal. Better take advantage of the speed boost to make a quick getaway, though, because you'll be easy prey for rivals looking to defeat you! #KirbyAirRiders

When rivals defeats you in City Trial, a mark will appear over them. Defeat the marked rivals to get more than just revenge: you'll steal more power-ups than usual too. Some say revenge is an endless cycle, but you can't actually get revenge on a revenge in #KirbyAirRiders.

Copy Ability panels appear throughout courses and Skyah. They rotate through Copy Abilities in a set pattern that changes every three frames. Time it just right to get the Copy Ability you want! #KirbyAirRiders

The Battle Chariot is a heavyweight machine sporting some nasty spikes. This thing is every bit as tough as it looks! #KirbyAirRiders

In City Trial, HP power-ups increase your health each time you pick one up. If you acquire enough of them, your health might even go off the screen?! Incidentally, there's no item to reduce the size of your health bar... #KirbyAirRiders

One event in City Trial has huge, mysterious pillars appearing all over Skyah. The number of pillars depends on the number of players in the match. Damage one and you'll earn some power-ups—break it and you'll get some more! #KirbyAirRiders

The Tank Star is a machine that deploys its treads when Boosting. It enters a grounded mode, driving straight ahead without losing speed. When you Boost Charge, it'll do a high-speed turn and return to its hovering mode! #KirbyAirRiders

Watch Mr. Sakurai play through the Mount Amberfalls course in this video overview! The course begins at the summit of a mountain, and as Sakurai rides his way down, he'll show you how to use Star Slides and Boost Charges to navigate various turns and forks in the path. Take a look! #KirbyAirRiders

There's a lot of fascinating terrain in Cavernous Corners, but watch out—those spikes are not just for show! #KirbyAirRiders

In the Cavernous Corners course, you'll start in the depths of the jungle and then move on to exploring a cave. What do you think you'll find in there? Maybe treasure? Maybe Golem? #KirbyAirRiders

There's a setting in the Rules that lets you make it so machines can be destroyed even during Air Ride. Machines that are close to breaking will get a speed boost, but if your machine is destroyed you're out of the race! #KirbyAirRiders

Hop off your machine in City Trial by pressing and holding the Y Button. While your rider is walking around, you can also jump. Starman can jump particularly high! #KirbyAirRiders

Inhale or capture a Wheelie to turn yourself into a wheel temporarily. You'll drive across the ground like you're on a bike-type machine, and knock away enemies and rivals in front of you! #KirbyAirRiders

Swap machines in City Trial by pressing the Y Button when you're heading towards an empty one. Feel free to swap to all kinds of machines as you adapt to the challenges that lie ahead! #KirbyAirRiders

Gooey's quick spin is sort of like a handstand, holding up the machine and dodging incoming low attacks. #KirbyAirRiders

Gooey is an odd rider, to say the least, but you can't doubt the effectiveness of that weird wiggly tongue. #KirbyAirRiders

You can attack Dyna Blade in more parts than just the head. The feet don't seem like a great target, but hitting that gauge on the chest will probably deal a lot of damage! #KirbyAirRiders

Use the Jet Copy Ability to let loose with a Boost and speed past your rivals. Your turns and Boost Charges will also get a little stronger. #KirbyAirRiders

The Swerve Star is a unique machine. It doesn't turn when you tilt the Control Stick, but when you Boost Charge! While it doesn't drift, it moves forward in a characteristic zig-zag pattern. #KirbyAirRiders

The Paper Star is as light as its namesake, has a strong Boost, and great at flying. It's quite fragile, though, so be careful with it! #KirbyAirRiders

Sometimes there are strange doodles that appear in the underground parts of Skyah. Who could possibly be drawing them? #KirbyAirRiders
