Kirby's Air Ride Details

Find out how HAL's upcoming racer will play.

The latest issue of Famitsu reveals gameplay info about Kirby’s Air Ride for GameCube.  The game is currently 70% complete and is scheduled for release in Japan this summer.  Up to four players can compete in the racing game, developed by HAL, Nintendo's oldest second-party.


Following the philosophy of Smash Brothers, the controls are extremely simple (analog stick and A button), so anyone can learn to play the game.  The player will control Kirby on his warp star with the analog stick; acceleration is automatic.  When the A button is pressed, Kirby will push the warp star to the ground to slow down.  However, as you brake, your warp star charges up, allowing you to perform a charge dash when you release the button.  When there are enemies, the A button activates Kirby's copy ability, allowing you to suck up enemies and use their attacks.  Depending on the situation, different combinations of the analog stick and A button perform various tricks.


The images suggest that there are at least two types of multiplayer games: a battle mode and a racing mode.


Stayed tuned for more info.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I always thought Kirby riding a warp star would make a neat racer.

Ever since that demm N64 demo, I've been tormented every time I see an 18-wheeler "Air-Ride Equipped"...

i checked the images over at the magic box, and it seems that Kirby can dress as Link, with the green and gold hat and holding up the master sword....sweet!
