- JennyBring on the poyo chaos energy with Kirby and friends????Pros:
???? Fun, chaotic, great for any age!
???? Easy controls, no forward tilt to drive. The tutorial is in-depth, so you'll learn all the mechanics within 15-30 minutes.
???? Single-player mode called Road Trip (choose your difficulty), different paths, different mini games, boss fights, and story progression. Even if friends can't play with you, or you don't want to play online... This solo mode is full of unique experiences, and you can avoid boredom by choosing between 3 options to progress in the game
???? Amiibo compatibility (train your amiibo), unlockables, achievements (I think there's over 500... feels reminiscent of smash bros lol)
???? Customization of your driver (accessories, hats, color variants) and vehicles (once unlocked), and you can even see the handiwork of players around the world! Buy and use the ones you like, or customize your own vehicle.
???? All 18 tracks are beautifully designed, half full of nostalgia, and half are completely new! Courses almost feel like a dynamic theme park ride with flying and high-energy song tracks!
????Competitive mechanics allow you to get ahead of the game or try online and drown in the chaos. Online has ranked, challenges, and a whopping 32 player capacity per lobby.
???? Play as familiar characters across the Kirby universe, including RICK!! Guest appearances from other games, as well as timeless classics from older games.
Cons:
❌ Learning curve for new players is a bit of a problem. Although I consider the controls "easy," there are mechanics essential to racing. It might be time-consuming to play locally with new friends who are completely new to the game. The alternative is to just throw them in with no explanation, as it is chaotic anyway
❌ Adventure mode items/power-ups have no explanation or legend. You're kind of just rolling with it, or you need to look it up ahead of time
❌ Not for kids who are prone to overstimulation, it's CHAOTIC, and certain children might find this game too overwhelming
❌ In the food modes... There are photo-realistic images of real-life food instead of "dishes" from other Kirby games. Just why...? I'm crying inside. Food across Kirby games looks cute, whimsical, and familiar. But the food in this game... ????
❌ Not a fair comparison, but when compared to Mario Kart... The universe of Dreamworld pales in comparison. The variety of stages, characters, and familiar elements feels limited at this time. I hope it can be expanded in update DLCs to add more stages/other well-loved characters like Kine, Adelaide, and newer antagonists from Forgotten Land!
❌ Seriously, who thought Cappy was a good idea as a playable character? - EricA Perfect Mix of Fun, Speed, and Kirby Charm!If you’ve been waiting for Kirby to finally return to high-speed racing, Kirby Air Riders on the Switch 2 is absolutely worth. This version feels like everything fans loved plus modern upgrades that make it even more addicting.
Gameplay:
The controls are smooth and super responsive on the Switch 2. Flight and drifting feel better than ever, and each machine has a real personality. Beginners can pick it up easily, but there’s enough depth for competitive players too. The new Boost Glide mechanic is insanely satisfying once you learn it.
Graphics & Performance:
This game looks beautiful. The colors pop, the worlds feel alive, and the frame rate stays buttery smooth even with tons of action on the screen. Kirby games always look good, but this is easily one of the best-looking ones on the Switch 2.
Modes & Content:
There’s a ton to do. Classic Race Mode, Battle City, Time Trials, and the new Co-Op Challenge Mode make this feel like more than just a racing game. The online matchmaking is fast, and the local multiplayer is perfect for parties or playing with the kids.
Fun Factor:
Honestly, this game is pure joy. It has that classic “just one more race” feeling, whether you’re unlocking new Air Riders or trying to beat your best times. It’s one of those rare games that’s great for both casual players and serious competitors.
Final Verdict:
If you own a Switch 2, this is a must-have. Fun, polished, nostalgic without feeling outdated, and packed with replay value. An easy 5/5. - NoahGamecube but better!Really good! No issues getting delivered when I pre-ordered and the game is extremely fun! It's just like the gamecube game but with much more challenges, playable characters and having the option to customize (player store is super funny)
- Jose SotoGreat game for all agesAmazing! Loved the original game and this has the same vibe with amazing game play. Enough new stuff to keep old returnees on their toes but also so many returning things that are fun to see. We play it as adults and with our younger kids. Perfect for all ages and single or multiplayer
- Ruben GKirby smash bros melee star riderThis is one of the absolute best racing/hybrid titles that I’ve ever played, on any console (and I’ve been playing since the NES era)
This game made the GameCube one look so inferior (and I love that game) but my gosh, they outdid themselves with this title, Sakurai is a genius dev that’s been sucked dry from making smash bros after smash bro. He created Kirby, smash bros, and many systems we love and play today on many different games. This was a game he developed during his retirement and it’s rumored he’s back on smash again, but if this were to be his final game, it would be a magnum opus of a perfect career in the industry. I hope this man lives forever, This made the switch 2 a must own and delivered everywhere that Mario kart world did not. Bravo, 10/10 - Omari ABest kirby game everIf you haven't played the previous games in the series. This is a great way for newcomers jump into and have a blast
- Cloud StrifeBest racer of 2025Controls are simple and snappy. Lots to unlock and and a lot of variety. Tons of customization and side content. Great online functionality. One of my favorites this year for sure!
- YUZeyuzePerfect successor from the originalIt still feels as chaotic as the original but in higher quality, love all the new additions.
