Kirby Air Riders is a new racing game and a follow-up to the 2003 Gamecube title, Kirby Air Ride. It features all the beloved modes from the original, such as City Trial, Top Ride, and Air Ride.

I’m so excited about Air Riders! They’ve really added a ton of stuff, like a brand new Road Trip mode and a cool central plaza where you can just hang out with other players. As for how it plays, it feels familiar – a lot of the moves from the first game are back, but now there are new maps based on locations we’ve seen throughout the series. It’s a great mix of old and new!
