| Introduction | 3.000 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
I can't believe no one made a complete FAQ/Walkthrough for this game yet.
Anyway Kirby Air Ride is a great racing game on the Nintendo GameCube. There
are many different ways to race and play which are all extremely fun and
exciting to play with.
You may have noticed that GameRanking's average is 6.5. If you ask anyone
they'll say this game is awsome so just ignore stupid GameRankings.

end there are many pieces of coral. This course has 2 laps.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
| Frozen Hillside | 5.114 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
An icy level that does not work good with machines that have a wheel. If it has
a wheel it will slow down on ice. Doesn't really have a shape to the map. Kinda
looks like an upside down boot. Close to the beginning there is a switch that
turns off the lasers up ahead. Close to the end there is a cave with the lights
off. Hit the switch to turn the lights on. You can break the ice walls in that
cave by using your fire ability. This course has 2 laps.

floating giant rings that boost your speed in the air. This course has 2 laps.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
| Machine Passage | 5.117 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
This course has a lot of machine style objects. This map looks like a square,
but has paths in and out of it. In the middle there is a cannon that launches
you in the sky. This course has 2 laps.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
| Checker Knights | 5.118 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
This course kinda looks like a castle. This map kinda looks like a foot. In the
middle there are railings that lead you to a different sections. At the end of
the section there is a giant jump panel that makes you jump really high. After
that there are many panels that make Kirby spin like crazy. At the end there
are switches that make walls move up and down. This course has 2 laps.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
| Nebula Belt | 5.119 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
An unlockable stage. This course looks like it takes place either in outer

| Playable Characters | 6.000 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
Kirby: The pink puffball from Dreamland is obviously a playable character. He
can suck up enemies and use their abilities to attack his opponents.
Kirby is also the only character that is able to change his Air Rid
Machine. Kirby has multiple colors to choose from.
Meta Knight: Kirby's rival, is an unlockable character. He doesn't ride
machines, but instead uses his wings to float above the ground.
He controls like a combination of Wing Kirby and Sword Kirby, as
he uses sword Galaxia automatically when he approaches enemies or
other players. Because he has the highest speed and acceleration
in the game, he cannot charge. You can use him in Air Ride and in
City Trial.
King Dedede: King Dedede is also unlockable. He rides a bike similar to the
Wheelie Bike machine. Controlling him is almost exactly like using
the Wheelie Bike, except he can attack automatically with his
hammer, similar to Meta Knight's attack. You can only use him in
Air Ride and City Trial.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
Q: Why is this game called Kirby Air Ride?
A: You play as Kirby and he's on Air Ride Machines.

is great at flying.

Q: What is the storyline of this game? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
A: *PLEASE NOTE THAT WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS COMPLETELY MADE UP BY ME FOR
ENTERTAINMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS GAME HAS NO STORY*
One day Kirby was just flying around on his Warpstar with the random other
Kirby colors. As they were flying they found a city in the middle of the
ocean, some random racing arenas, and a board game with mini Kirbys. The
Kirbys decided to race eachother and fight to the death. The mini Kirbys
also started to race on the board game. The Kirbys were having so much fun
that even Meta Knight and King Dedede decided to join.
Q: Is this game a great multiplayer game?
A: This game is probably the Nintendo GameCube's best multiplayer game. You
race, you battle, you do many fun Stadium battles, and 4 lucky people have
fun.
Q: Machine parts are in Red Boxes.
A: I just tested it and found them in Green Boxes.
