We're just out here breaking all the rules today. You don't even have to shake anything to Plasma.

Kirby Air Riders will allow other racers to enjoy the privileges Kirby has enjoyed for more than three decades.

During a demo of Kirby's ability to inhale enemies, it was confirmed that the other available characters will have a functionally identical "Capture" ability to use abilities from monsters that spawn in the environment. The abilities will be tied to the B button rather than the controversial Y button.

Not all of the monsters will have abilities, as seen in the main Kirby games: these enemies will fire stars instead. Additionally, the Plasma ability will build charge automatically rather than by constant movement.
