Kirby Air Ride
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.

3.0 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.2GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 540M | Playable, Random freezes becoming more frequent, audio stuttering/looping to the point of insanity. | |
3.0 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X6 1055t @ 2.8GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6870 | Nearly perfect. Audio stuttering while using LLE emulation, doesn't happen in other games (i.e. Luigi's Mansion) | |
3.0-763 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i3-2100 | nVidia GeForce GTS 450 x2 | Perfect framerates at 1080p. In-game timer is off by 1-2 seconds however. Random crashes and the music sometimes loops a part of a song until the event music comes on. | AnonSVN |
3.0-843 | Linux Arch Linux x86_64 | Intel Core i5-670 @ 3.47GHz | AMD Radeon HD 7950 | Perfect, though had to use DSP HLE for sound; LLE caused frequent sound loops/stuters and general slowdowns. | |
3.5 | Windows 7 x86 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.3GHz | nVidia GeForce 4200m | Good frame rate on lowest settings. Frequent music looping and stuttering. Random crashing every 5 or 10 min. | |
^3.0-799 | Windows XP x86 | Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 @ 3GHz | nVidia GeForce 7300 LE | 45-55FPS average, Sometimes run at 60FPS, but speedhacks are required. All music in the game randomly loops and pauses, Crashes 5-15 minutes into the game. Also tested the game's split-screen muitiplayer mode with another player, Framerate drops A little bit more in muitiplayer (38-51FPS average). | |
3.5-1757 | Windows 8.1 x64 | AMD Phenom II X6 1045T @2.7GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti | 0 FPS, never starts. | |
3.5-2193 | Windows 8 x64 | Intel Core i7-4700Q @ 2.4GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 750M | Perfect; Direct X 11 runs better but requires switching in and out of full-screen to run. With DX9, runs at a near-constant 60 FPS in 1080p with 3x rendering, 4xAA, 16xAF, widescreen hack, force 16:9 | |
^3.5 | Linux Ubuntu 12.04 | Intel Celeron G1610 @ 2.6GHz | Intel HD Graphics 4000 | Playable at approximately half speed (in-game) | |
4.0.1 | Windows 8.1 x64 | Intel Core i7-3630Q @ 2.4GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 750M | Nearly perfect, Direct X 11, 46-59 FPS 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 x64 | Intel i5-3570K @ 4.4GHz | 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 |
