Kirby Air Riders for Nintendo Switch 2

CHARGE, BOOST, AND SPIN! THE ULTIMATE CHAOTIC VEHICLE ACTION REMAINS SUPREME.

The legendary GameCube racing cult-classic has officially returned, completely supercharged for next-generation portable play. Kirby Air Riders brings back the high-velocity, chaotic vehicle action to the Nintendo Switch 2, blending intense racing, open-world item-hunting, and frantic arena brawls into one ultimate multiplayer experience.

With a massive roster of classic Kirby characters, over 20 completely unique vehicles, and overhauled online features, this is the definitive modern sequel fans have been waiting decades for. It preserves the iconic, ultra-accessible "one-button" control scheme—where your machine accelerates automatically while you focus on steering, drifting, and absorbing enemy Copy Abilities to sabotage your rivals.

Key Features

• The Return of City Trial: Jump into the fan-favorite, free-roaming mode! Zip around the massive city of Skyah with up to 16 players online (or 8 via local wireless) to hunt for stat power-ups, hijack rival vehicles, and survive chaotic random events like meteor showers and boss battles before facing off in a surprise final stadium challenge.

• Classic Air Ride Racing: Dash to the finish line in high-speed, action-packed traditional races. Use branching tracks, slipstreams, and gliding mechanics to maintain maximum momentum over your opponents.

• All-New Road Trip Mode: Tackle a fully packed, single-player story mode filled with unique challenges, boss encounters, and massive unlockable rewards built exclusively for this new release.

• Simple Controls, Deep Skill Ceiling: Master the Boost Charge system! Hold the button to brake and bank energy while taking sharp corners, then release it to trigger an explosive forward dash. Sieve copy abilities directly from enemies on the track to blast ahead.

• Packed Kirby Roster: Play as Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Magolor, and fan-favorites like Chef Kawasaki or Rick the Hamster—each featuring completely unique base stats and signature special moves.
