Kirby Air Riders is a blazing assault on the senses where once you lock in, the magic cuts through - hands-on


This might look familiar to those who loved the GameCube original - but there's just something different here

What is in a sense clearly intended to be a breezier racer than the manic euphoric highs and brutal blue-shelled lows of Mario Kart is elevated and transformed by a search for depth that doesn't compromise that accessible core. | Image credit: Nintendo In City Trial, you and other players are dropped into a small open zone, able to drive freely for a limited time as items, enemies, and frenzied events spawn all around you. Braking to a sudden stop to avoid obstacles or fellow players, boosting to get to items before rivals, blasting off ramps and then working to stay aloft with careful gliding in order to collect parcels of airborne power-ups… like I say, you begin to lock in.
