In Kirby Air Ride, players take control of Kirby or any of his multicolored counterparts to compete in races or other minigames on vehicles from the Kirby universe, such as the warpstar. The vehicles use very simple controls: no input is necessary for the craft to move forward, the analog stick is used to steer, and one button performs all functions, including braking, charging up for a boost, sucking in nearby enemies, and gliding. The game has three modes, and each has a "checklist" of list of hidden challengers for the player to discover, which unlocks additional tracks, characters, and items.

Problems

4.0.1	Windows 8.1	Intel Core i7-3630Q @ 2.4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M	Nearly perfect, Direct X 11, 46-59FPS average on single player, used settings as of the Dolphin wiki's recommended, "purple haze" in far distances of map fixed, no texture errors observed, no crash observed, audio not tested, but used LLE.
4.0.1	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460	Emulation is perfect with no crashes. OpenGL backend works 100% including AA and AF modes. AF now works correctly in City Trial. Speed is a bit slow with 4 bots in City Trial but it is 100% playable.	Kilobytez95
