Kirby Air Ride/Vehicles

There are a total of 22 vehicles in Kirby Air Ride, each of them having their own unique traits. They are listed below as follows.

Warpstar
Most balanced Air Ride machine in all aspects.

Slick Star
Has adequate speed stats, but terrible traction. It slides a lot, hence the name.

Rocket Star
Handles poorly and is not very fast, but shoots like a rocket when fully charged.

Formula Star
One of the best Air Ride machines for speed. It is good in that area, but it cannot steer very well. Better for dragraces, where turning is seldom required.

Turbo Star
It is fast (Good Speed and Boost), but its handling is sub-par. The Turbo Star cannot glide, and it can only charge when the player turns while doing so.

Winged Star
It is slow and handles poorly on the ground, but glides well for long distances.

Shadow Star
High Offense, adequate handling, and excellent Glide stats.

Bulk Star
Uses Boost as fuel, requiring the player to constantly charge. It is not at all fast, but it has high HP and Defense stats. Better for deathmatches than races.

Swerve Star
Accelerates to its top speed immediately, but cannot turn, requiring the player to stop and pivot to "turn".

Wagon Star
Cannot charge, but has great control and is good in other areas.

Wheelie Bike
Has good Speed stats, but can be difficult to steer.

Wheelie Scooter
Has great handling and charges quickly, but has poor Top Speed. The Wheelie Scooter jumps very high, making it a good choice for High Jump contests.

Rex Wheelie
Very fast, very durable, but difficult to steer. Automatically presses switches.

Compact Star
City Trial only. The City Trial default star. Good handling and acceleration, but somewhat slow.

Dragoon
City Trial only. One of the legendary machines. It can be used in City Trial mode when the player has assembled it by finding its three pieces. Dragoon is the best glider in the game, and is good in other areas. It can be used in City Trial Free Run mode when the player has filled in the "Dragoon Parts X, Y, and Z" boxes in the City Trial checklist

Hydra
City Trial only. One of the legendary machines. It can be used in City Trial when the player has assembled it by finding its three pieces. Hydra has thehighest Offense in the game. Like the Bulk Star, it uses Boost as fuel. It is also the fastest vehicle in the game, with a top speed of 150 mph. Hydra can be used in City Trial Free Run when the player has filled in the "Hydra Parts A, B, and C" baoxes in the City Trial checklist.

Flight Warpstar
City Trial Free Run only. A prototype Warpstar with uprgraded gliding capabilities. It is the second-best glider in the game, bested by Dragoon. It is no different than the normal Warptstar in other areas.

Meta Knight
An alternate character who is generally a cross between Kirby's Sword and Wig ablilities. He cannot charge, but is fast and can automatically attack enemies at close range.

King DeDeDe
Another alternate character who rides what seems to be a giant Wheelie Bike custom built to fit him. Like Meta Knight, he can attack enemies automatically at close range with his mallet. He is not very fast, but has high HP and Offense.

Free Star
Top Ride only. A red-colored star. Move the Control Stick in the direction desired to go that way.

Steer Star
Top Ride only. A blue-colored star. Move the Control Stick left and right to turn.
