How to Unlock all Courses in Kirby Air Riders

by

Okay, so I’ve been playing Kirby Air Ride, and there are a TON of courses – 27 in total spread across Air Ride and Top Ride. But getting them all isn’t as simple as just starting the game. A lot of them are locked at first! I was kinda stuck trying to figure out how to unlock everything, so I put together a list of all the courses and exactly how to get them. Let’s jump right in and I’ll share what I’ve learned!

All Courses Kirby Air Riders & How to Unlock Them

For those new to Kirby Air Riders, here is a quick breakdown of each mode.

Air Riders is a racing mode that plays a lot like the version in the GameCube game – you race to the finish line, using shortcuts and special abilities to help you. Top Ride is a more straightforward racing mode with a view from directly above.

Air Ride Courses:

Floria Fields N/A
Waveflow Waters N/A
Airtopia Ruins N/A
Crystalline Fissure N/A
Steamgust Forge N/A
Cavernous Corners N/A

Galactic Nova Win a total of 15 times on any course
Machine Passage On “Airtopia Ruins”, pass Ancient Rings 4 times in a single race without reversing
Magma Flows Finish a race on “Steamgust Forge” without touching the molten steel
Beanstalk Park Finish a single race on “Mount Amberfalls” while maintaining a 1st place lead for at least 60 seconds
Nebula Belt On “Galactic Nova”, defeat five types of enemies and complete one lap
Checker Knights On “Fantasy Meadow” complete 3 laps in one minute

*N/A – Indicates a course available from the start.

That covers all the Air Ride courses in Kirby Air Riders. Many are available right away, but you’ll need to unlock the others by completing challenges. Some, like Fantasy Meadows, are easy to unlock – you just need to win two races in a row on any course. Others, such as Beanstalk Park, might be trickier if you have trouble staying in first place.

You can easily change the settings for each race to suit your preferences. Feel free to add extra laps for a longer race, and adjust how challenging the computer opponents are to give yourself a better chance of winning.

Air Ride Courses:

Course Name How to Unlock
Flower N/A
Flow N/A
Air N/A
Crystal N/A
Steam N/A
Cave N/A
Cyber N/A

Nova Win 15 Top Ride Races

As a big fan of Kirby Air Ride, I’m happy to say unlocking all the courses in Top Ride mode isn’t too hard! There’s one course that’s locked at first, but you can easily get it by winning just 15 Top Ride races. You could mix it up and win about two races on each track, or if you have a favorite, just keep playing that one until you unlock Nova. It’s really that simple!
