Kirby Air Riders Global Test Features

The test demo is free to all Nintendo Switch 2 users. Upon launch, there will be a tutorial that will teach newcomers how to traverse around the track. In between weekends, if any rust starts occurring between weekends, the tutorial will be back the next weekend to shake it off. Confirmed characters as of right now are Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede, with the promise of more. This demo can be played both online and offline.

Zip around the city of Skyah in City Trial: a free-for-all battle for 16 players online*. Roam around Skyah to find machines, collect power-ups, and survive through unpredictable Field Events ranging from falling meteors to powerful boss battles. After five minutes of powering up, you and your rivals will compete in one of a whole host of different Stadium contests, each with its own objective. These include drag races, battle arenas, skydiving for points and more, so it helps to be ready for anything!

You can also gather groups of up to 16 players in the Paddock, a lobby where you can hang out to play City Trial. (The Paddock will support up to 32 players in the full game!)
