Our analysis

Kirby Air Riders blends simple one-button racing with surprising strategic depth, chaotic multiplayer and plentiful unlocks. Road Trip brings its varied modes together, though City Trial finales can feel anticlimactic.

Sakurai-designed racer blending Smash Bros with racing. Niche appeal beyond dedicated fans.

Our analysis

Kirby Air Riders offers fun City Trial and Road Trip modes, stylish visuals and mostly smooth performance. There is enough to recommend, but the asking price and lack of a Grand Prix mode weaken its value.

Our analysis

Kirby Air Riders delivers frantic multiplayer races and battles, with meaningful unlockables, achievements, and deep customization for solo players. Its novel, slippery controls are fun to master but can feel too limited for precise combat.

    Our analysis

    Technically well-crafted game with polished presentation and abundant content, but ultimately boring and disengaging despite Sakurai's typically excellent game design. The reviewer appreciated the Road Trip campaign mode but struggled to enjoy most other game modes.

    Our analysis

    An ideal evolution of its predecessor that is incredibly fun once you get past the learning curve. The comprehensive tutorial, Road Trip story mode, expanded City Trial with online support, and strong fan service make it a killer title for the Switch.
