Template:All Game Nav 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

Warpstar

Most balanced Air Ride machine in all aspects.

  • Top Land Speed: 25.22 mph
  • High Jump: 176 feet
  • Breaks a dilapidated house in: 5 hits

Slick Star

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

Top Land Speed: 27.02 mph

High Jump: 148 feet

Rocket Star

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

Top Land Speed: 15.52 mph

High Jump: 71 feet

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 drag races, where turning is seldom required. Danger! Although this machine has a high top speed, its acceleration is slow.

Top Land Speed: Infinate, after 1 mile speedomter read 43.11 mph

High Jump: 77 feet

Turbo Star

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

Top Land Speed: 28.57 mph

High Jump: 309 feet

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". It handles fluidly while gliding. It is better suited for drag racing, where turning is not required.

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.

  • Top speed: 18.01 mph
  • High jump: 142 feet
  • Breaks a dilapidated house in: 38 hits

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 the highest Offense in the game (Which basically means it can blow up stuff real easy). 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" boxes 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 Warpstar in other areas.

Meta Knight

An alternate character who is generally a cross between Kirby's Sword and Wing ablilities. He cannot charge, but is fast, can glide well, 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.-->
