Game Overview
Kirby arrives on the Nintendo GameCube at warp speed in his first-ever racing game! The creators of Super Smash Bros. Melee bring you Kirby Air Ride, a racing game like no other. By applying the simple controls that define all Kirby games, Kirby Air Ride brings the racing genre to gamers of all abilities, so anyone can just pick up and play. Single-button gameplay controls all the action -- brake and slide around corners with a press of the A Button or hold and charge up as you slide, then release for break-neck acceleration. Of course, Kirby wouldnt be Kirby if he werent copying enemy abilities and using them to his advantage, so prepare for some wild and wacky transformations! Kirby Air Ride features a variety of gameplay modes. Slide and glide in 3D racing, ready yourself for a race for power-ups as you enter multiplayer tournament battles, or tackle tracks from a birds eye perspective in a unique overhead-view mode.
