Unique Gameplay and Thrilling City Trial Mode
Kirby Air Ride is truly an amazing racing game. It offers a completely different gameplay experience compared to other racing games, which is what makes it so enjoyable. The game features 3 game modes, with my favorite being City Trial. You freely drive around the city in search of better power-ups and vehicles. During this time, various events occur such as falling meteors, super fast vehicles, and a gigantic UFO appearing above the city.
In addition to searching for better vehicles and power-ups on your own, you can also attack your fellow players to destroy their vehicles. You can also hunt for parts of legendary cars. Once you have collected all three parts, you receive an amazing vehicle that will defeat everyone. When your time in the city is up, you must compete against each other in a stadium match. This is always something different each time.
Apart from City Trial, there are 2 other fantastic game modes. It's definitely a game you will never forget.

In City Trial, there is a volcano located near the forest. If you have a vehicle that you don't want to lose, you can park it in the volcano. Alright...
When you are at the top of the mountain, next to the volcano, there is a bridge that leads to the volcano. Go full speed over the bridge, just before you reach the lava, hop off. Your vehicle will slide into the volcano and will now be neatly parked inside.
Most people think you'll be launched upwards. However, if no one is in the vehicle, you can simply park it wherever you want.

Secrets:
Can you fly out of the city in City Trial from Kirby Air Ride?
| MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
I think this can only be done in City Trial in Kirby Air Ride. If you have a vehicle that can fly very high in City Trial (this can also be done in City Trial Free Mode), you can fly out of the city when you are flying high enough! Once you are outside, you can actually get quite far from the city. Try to get as far as you can, and you will eventually hit an invisible wall.
