Okay, so I’ve been playing Kirby Air Riders, and there are a TON of different machines you can ride – over 20, plus some really cool legendary ones. But figuring out how to unlock them all? That’s a pain! I was getting frustrated trying to find out what each one does and how to get my hands on them. So, I put together this guide to show you exactly how to unlock every single machine in the game. Let’s jump right in and get you riding everything Kirby has to offer!
How Do You Get All Machines in Kirby Air Riders?
In Kirby Air Riders, you can unlock new machines in a couple of ways: you can buy them with in-game currency called Miles, or you can earn them by finishing certain challenges. The game has four different modes for you to play.
- Air Ride
- Road Trip
- City Trial
- Top Ride
The way you play might depend on your device. Luckily, the game starts you with a few free vehicles like the Warp Star, Winged Star, Wagon Star, and Flight Warp Star (the Flight Warp Star is only available in City Trial Free Run). However, you’ll need to unlock additional vehicles as you progress.
Once you unlock a machine, you can use it in different ways, depending on what the machine is. Let’s explore each one, what it does, and how to unlock it.

Why You Should Unlock every Air Ride Machine in Kirby Air Riders
Each air ride machine handles uniquely, so it’s worth unlocking them all. While a fast machine like the Formula Star is good for speed, you might prefer the power of something like the Tank Star. Experimenting with each vehicle is the best way to discover which one suits your playstyle.
Everyone starts with the Compact Star in City Trial, so it’s a good idea to upgrade to a better vehicle as quickly as possible!
This guide covers all the air ride machines available in Kirby Air Riders and how to unlock each one. We hope you have fun collecting them all and enjoying the game! We’ll keep this list updated with any new unlocking methods we discover.
