[sick blade]

Nobody chooses regular Waddle Dee after Bandana Waddle Dee is unlocked

[short trail]

failboat does

[surreal bear]

I mean I do

regular Waddle Dee is better on Rex Wheelie

[short trail]

regular waddle dee turns gold

[sick blade]

Is Rex Wheelie actually good? I know it sucked in the first one

[surreal bear]

It's pretty good here if you can get good with it

[wintry temple]

It’s good because it’s my baby

[short trail]

I mean its definitely still Rex Wheelie

[wintry temple]

The BEST vehicle

other than the Dale scooter

[sick blade]

https://tenor.com/view/kingdom-hearts-ok-i-believe-you-gif-13519426

[wintry temple]

But genuinely though it’s alright

Hard to handle but once you know how it works it does well

[sick blade]

I’m gonna go see how I can ride a train in this game

[rancid panther]

this event is so funny

[short trail]

this event is NERFING me its making me actually lose in air ride matches /j

[bitter yarrow]

rex wheelie magolor

😎

[sick blade]

I have a feeling I’m gonna need verticality so Scarfy Paper Glider. Now assuming that will help me reach and ride this steam locomotive/train

[rotund grail]

My goat
My steed

[bitter yarrow]

there's a jumping platform you can use, so as long as you have machines like paper or winged or shadow etc you should be able to get on them fairly easily

[sharp tendon]

[rancid panther]

I TIED IN FIRST WHAT

I've had that happen in top ride but never air ride

[wintry temple]

god it’s so beautiful

But genuinely though I miss gamecube-era style shading

It has a certain feel to it

[sick blade]

I rode a train

[rancid panther]

anyway half of the points gotten, back to tomodachi

[sick blade]

Sorry what happens in events that mar you want to play them?

[rancid panther]

events have exclusive rewards

[sick blade]

What’s the exclusive reward for this event?

[rancid panther]

there's a list on wikirby, it's always multiple per event

[bitter yarrow]

its also in game event section as well

Kirby Air Riders (@KirbyAirRiders)

The "Star-Slide Sprint!" event starts today! There are some nice rewards for this one, including a decal that replicates the design on King Dedede's royal robe. We hope you'll take part! #KirbyAirRiders

[last igloo]

Oh wait we could properly make dedede wheelies now

[sick blade]

Yeah these achievements are uh not going well honestly

[lean sigil]

Seadragoon jumpscare from a few hours ago

[sick blade]

Who’s Seadragon? Are they lies. Top 100 Player of this game?

[lean sigil]

Oh no, they're in the server

[sick blade]

[bitter yarrow]

Sea jumpsxare

[sick blade]

Imagined being so forgettable l that your face doesn’t get shown until the 125th achievement

[wintry temple]

No way that’s the

door

ok well not quite but same style

…actually not at all LMAO probably kirby cafe

[bitter yarrow]

It’s from Kirby cafe yes

Most recent appearance

Unironically this acrylic stand board is for air riders purchase bonus

[wintry temple]

Lucky…

Can I rob your house sometime

[sick blade]

No

My copy of Chrono Trigger and Mother 3 are protected at all costs they’re part of my morning worship shrine

[short trail]

renamed my street title from Faithful Nova to Squishy Nova

[sick blade]

Okay trying to to bag the game to get the Missile Ability

Not going so well

[sick blade]

Yeah that sucked

I sure hope there aren’t infinitely worse missions

[bitter yarrow]

Mmmm honestly those are one of the worse ones

What do you got left

[sick blade]

Welp I guess it’s just time attack and free run

And whatever the hell Taranza’s unlock requirement is

I honestly might just call it a night after unlocking Tirana

[bitter yarrow]

Ah yeah ride for a total of 5,469 yd thing

[tidal mauve]

check out this back to back ufo to missile i got bc i played like crap one match

[sick blade]

OH NO A SPIDER!!!

[sick blade]

The hell am I looking at?

I feel really bad that after 145/150 achievements I just realized Gooey has not been freed from the void. I’m gonna destroy my sleep schedule to free Gooey

[sick blade]

Gooey has been found and I have about done every Air Ride achievement I can get right now. I need to unlock the remaining 5 characters to finish all the achievements

[bitter yarrow]

This one is very funny

🔥 🔥 🔥

I cried when I first found out Magolor is the last one to free /lh

[sick blade]

Yeah Magalor is stuck with part of his face being gone until I have the rest of the characters

All the money I got from Air Ride was used to purchase the rest of the OST and start purchasing forth license

[bitter yarrow]

magolor stuck in top ride and city trial </3333

I did get some nice speedrun tactic with unlocking magolor... which took me like 10 min to unlock magolor himself and his alt

I might be able to shorten the time... probably 5 minute if I try harder

ehhh probably not, but it would be faster if I try harder LOL

I gotta start practicing my air riders checklist speedrun soon...

its just there's way too many rng checklist so if I have bad luck I wont get good result

[sick blade]

Good luck with that and trying to manipulate the RNG to get the Missile Abilty without spending 10 minutes on Nebula Belt

[bitter yarrow]

oh missile ones are easy since I can pinpoint the roulette now

been practicing sniping specific ability from the roulette, and considering the missile chance isnt super low with the delayed roulette, its pretty easy to figure out if you know which frame to stop at

me on my way gaining some random skills that is not useful in real life

[sick blade]

Welp next time it’s Top Ride

[bitter yarrow]

MAGOLOR!!!!

[sick blade]

So I know Magalor can be unlocked from Top Ride, is there anyone else who can be unlocked from Top Ride?

[bitter yarrow]

starman

cappy, rocky, gooey

actually you probably have rocky unlocked in roadtrip already so

yeah magolor, starman, cappy, gooey I think is the one you can unlock in top ride if you've only done roadtrip and air ride mode

otherwise you just unlock some of the alts

[inland zinc]

Simirror was our favorite ally to play in superstar with friends he should’ve gotten a spot

[faint acorn]

so apparently marx (boss) has a flame pillar attack?

can someone back this up or is it nonsense?

[last igloo]

No but we got needle columns

[inland zinc]

Is the weird ice ball attack the only attack that wasn’t translated into 3d for air riders or are we just a foolis h

[faint acorn]

no thats in the game

[round flax]

Yay for Marx’s growing veins!

[charred bloom]

This made me think of
“Marx-Os!
All the nutrients you need for your growing pain receptors.”

[hollow lagoon]

That's in the game? /j

[sick blade]

Okay good thing I don’t have to waste time in City Trial (not yet anyways) to unlock Star Man and not the cool Starman from EarthBound

No Kirby Star Man

Is a star

1️⃣

[sick blade]

The fact it took this long to unlock the shadow star is hilarious

Mushroom

[sick blade]

Ew

[autumn flame]

pink rocky is beautiful

[sick blade]

I say Ew as in

Excellent
Wonderful

[autumn flame]

I'LL BELIEVE IT!

[sick blade]

Oh hey it’s that EarthBound enemy- Oh wait it’s Yellow so it’s Deluxe

[sick blade]

Oh hey it’s the Dragon Quest slime

Okay the Switch’s WiFi isn’t working for some reason, but uh………. Excuse me?

[surreal bear]

It's a lot easier in Top Ride, I'll say that

[sick blade]

Oh hey it’s Barista Kirby

[sick blade]

Gaming

I have no Air’d all over the Ride

Also no freebie used

[faint acorn]

based reference

[stiff bobcat]

Does anyone know how to steal items as Daroach in top ride? I've been trying to grind top ride and I only have 3 achievements left.

That achievement and the "attack two riders with 2 quick spins with needle" have been thorns in my side.

[stiff bobcat]

Like I just beat a 20 lap top ride race and didn't get it.

[surreal bear]

I honestly have no idea

[faint acorn]

as someone who's done every single checklist mission... idk. lmao

i suggest bumping it up to 99 laps, have max players and have it so many items drop

[sick blade]

https://tenor.com/view/microwave-my-man-piemations-suction-cup-man-im-in-gif-13497579409275622447

[faint acorn]

all hail THE DON

[stiff bobcat]

I managed to get this yesterday. I didn't know this was possible.

I tied for 1st

In top ride

[stiff bobcat]

One of the top ride achievements says to "quick spin 2 people in total with the needle ability". Is that you with the needle, or them with the needle?

[faint acorn]

its asking you to quick spin into opponents while USING the needle ability

[stiff bobcat]

Ohhh

Thanks!

[faint acorn]

np!

[stiff bobcat]

That was brutal. That one achievement took me nearly 3 hours, but finally, I did it.

Only took me 2 and a half 99 lap top ride tracks, but I feel very accomplished and also I hate Daroach now.

[bitter yarrow]

YEAHHHH

YEAHHHHH!!!!!

[bitter yarrow]

Yeah that one is pretty rng, since auto attack doesn’t always happen with top ride

You can get lucky with single lap and can get unlucky with 99 laps

[fading elbow]

It's pretty nice to have a magnet when Dyna Blade is defeated.

[hollow lagoon]

W

[acoustic violet]

lol the music timing

[dire gyro]

Ohhh that's so satisfying

[wintry temple]

I now see why they chose this song. I genuinely revoke all complaints and give compliments to the chef 🧘‍♂️ 🧘‍♂️ 🧘‍♂️

[lusty wyvern]

Triumphant Return being in the song is like a big FUCK YOU to Galactic Nova lmao

And you can see that emphasized in the video clip

[wintry temple]

Some dev was probably playtesting the track while listening to their playlist, hit this and went “GUYS I KNOW THE ALT”

[fickle patio]

Beautiful

[acoustic violet]

You know I’m just now realizing that’s probably the main reason why they chose CROWNED😶

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-gif-21185970

[bitter yarrow]

They weren’t kidding lol

My local Costco near my campus

[wintry temple]

Buy 86 of them

[bitter yarrow]

*mark means they’re leaving the stock

(Z-A is already sold out, apparently someone bought the entire thing lol)

[wintry temple]

You should follow in their footsteps

[bitter yarrow]

I can see Magolor on the side

[wintry temple]

:Magolors_Left_Ear:

[bitter yarrow]

Erm that’s Magolor’s right ear

[wintry temple]

:Magolors_Other_Left_Ear:

[earnest tree]

1 more day for the event, gotta scurry !

[charred bloom]

This is like shark instincts. You can smell one drop of magolor in the ocean

[bitter yarrow]

Yeah I saw them like on corner of my eye when I was walking away and had to walk back to take pic

I’m like “IS THAT MAGOLOR’S EAR”

They hid Magolor with the box :(

[rugged marsh]

nice

[faint acorn]

i won a target flight with 200 points with a compact star.

it showed me a glitchwhere i got max rainbow.

wtf.

[short trail]

Triumphant Return not be the best song/motif ever challenge impossible

[short trail]

i had the realization of dragoon and hydra chibi menu cursor figures dawn on me once those legendary amiibos release and i NEED chibi dragoon and hydra menu cursor (and license stickers) NOW

[faint acorn]

okay

one more bar

then its alllll violet

[sick blade]

Gonna do a 99 lap race to try and get the missile achievement out of the way

I’ve gone through half the laps and no missile

[sick blade]

Man

This is a very spooky Magalor

[pine sparrow]

malevolent magolor

[sick blade]

I am now a Magalor main

[wintry temple]

Absolute Crowned

[sick blade]

Why is the only absolute cinema gif for any Kirby character for Dark Nebula of all things? Dark Nebula sucks even if you do it with zero copy abilities lmao

[wintry temple]

https://tenor.com/ehX5t7hE5ym.gif

do you see this ......man? woman? nonbinary? .........thing

it is the cinema

[sick blade]

Imagine they bring back Dark Nebula in a random game and it’s the hardest fight for literally no reason

[wintry temple]

They should

Pull a Galacta Knight RTDL

He's just there, unexplained, because his presence is too

[sick blade]

If they ever make another 3D Kirby, a Dark Nebula fight in 3D would be awesome

Okay now I’m trying to understand what this means. Do 2 jumps that last 2 seconds?

[wintry temple]

It just means stay in the air for at least 2 seconds at least twice

I reccomend paper star and the airtopia course

[sick blade]

Oh I see the tornado

[sick blade]

Uh how do I do this one?

[sharp tendon]

I think hop star is your best bet

[sick blade]

I’ll text it and I’ll restart if I don’t get an achievement

[charred bloom]

I dont think thats even possible

[sick blade]

I did it

[sick blade]

Great I don’t see a Bull Tank in the Top Ride checklist only the battle chariot, and I don’t feel like buying any extras lmao, so the Bull Tank will have to wait

[charred bloom]

Never bought any custom wagon stars or really messed with it in my machine but I like using it so I tried making one to match my preferred character

I call it Twilight

[warped fjord]

i call it coconut

[lusty wyvern]

bro thinks he's Outer Wall Cave Story

[short trail]

NEVER put down the pencil, or uh, stickers; this is peak ‼️

[faint acorn]

dudes... fuck yes.

rainbowwwwwwwwwwwwww.......

[short trail]

im still in blue rank for air ride mode. very very slow crawl getting points from here on out

but im matching with indigo, violets, and rainbows 🎵 so all is good

[sick blade]

Battle Chariot is obtained

[sick blade]

I hear someone playing Tomodachi Life at my campus

I really do need to get the new Tomodachi Life

Time to make CPUs use the Bulk Star because it’s a piece of junk that sucks so bad

[bitter yarrow]

WTH bulk star slander

[sick blade]

But it’s so awkward to control and it has bad stats

[bitter yarrow]

Bulk star is def one of the tricky side, and it can be difficult to handle but once you’re used to them, they can be very good depending

Tank star is def the worst tho

[sick blade]

Oh yeah

Tank Star is bad

Now I’m trying to get an achievement for Flow where I can’t go over any dash panels?

[bitter yarrow]

Use hop star and jump over it

Or use wheelie scooter and go between the dash panels

[sick blade]

I feel stupid for underestimating the Hop Star lmao

I tried this with Swerve Star and that didn’t work

[bitter yarrow]

Yeah the best hint is in the decoration for the hop star “Useful for hopping right over enemies and terrain.”

Hop star is a gem lol I like using them in many mode

[sick blade]

Hop Star being the savior for many oddly specific challenges be like

https://tenor.com/view/mercy-overwatch-come-here-gif-14280244

And just like that I got it

[short trail]

i was getting owned by an elite player in Air Ride mode that kept winning against me

Daroach Bulk Star

[short trail]

did this for the top ride cyber track to avoid the giant spinning wheel

[sick blade]

Wait so what is the actual tier list for this game? Like all I know is that Bulk Star sucked in Air Ride

[short trail]

-# tbf it had that height glitch in og too so

[bitter yarrow]

Rocket Star glitch that lets you hop around like Hop Star in Cyberion (Glitch first found in January) https://fxtwitter.com/yuki_airrider11/status/2046187350485815462?s=46

its always cappy in air ride who manages to break the rules

[sick blade]

This is a very intimidating sticker to use

[bleak marlin]

he’s such a bean

[wintry temple]

rink./..

[bitter yarrow]

It can be done with anyone lol

The first report in January was done with Daroach

[sick blade]

18 seconds with the Paper Glider

Uh I guess I’ll just use Cappy and hope for the best

Won by 11 milliseconds

Why are some of these times races so strict lmao

Like others are easy with a good combo, and then there’s this and the other one that requires basically a perfect run

[acoustic violet]

Paper Star funnies

[sick blade]

Bird Up

[unique shale]

coo

[bleak marlin]

coo(l)

[sick blade]

Okay one to try and attempt doing 4 laps in under a minute

Not exactly sure what to do so I guess again I’ll use Cappy Paper Glider since there are a few ramps and hope for the best

[sick blade]

Out of curiosity I wondered if there was an official tier list for Air Riders and the first result was an AI Overview that said Blue Kirby

Like bro what the hell is this slander to Blue Kirby

[faint acorn]

its mainly because most people say kirby is the worst character in the game lol

and blue/purple kirby's special, snow bowl... isnt very good-

[bitter yarrow]

Snow bowl is good in air ride, ultimately every character is useful, but they all have their “best” in 1 of the 3 modes

Same goes for burning, their special is better in air ride

[faint acorn]

yeahh there are characters both better and worse, depending on the modes, and thats fine!

[bitter yarrow]

Though burning with flight build is a pretty minor but workable combination in CT as well

Same goes for crash and ultra sword, which is better in CT

This game doesn’t have definitive tierlist because the game is actually made so well that it’s very balanced out
Machine and character combination already changes a lot, but depends on the course, mode, rider, machine, everything changes

The strongest rider or machine is dependent on who you use or who you’re “used” to

[sick blade]

I’m noticing Cappy and Air Glider is broken in Top Ride

[faint acorn]

air glider?

the... city trial stadium? its broken in top ride??

[bitter yarrow]

Did you mean paper star?

[sick blade]

Yeah Paper Star

[sick blade]

I guess me trying to grind Air Glider in Road Trip got me a little quirky

[faint acorn]

i think that means you should prooooobably take a break lol

[sick blade]

Or maybe I just got it wrong lmao

[faint acorn]

i played like 6 hours of top ride today i would not recommend gaming for an unhealthy amount of hours

[sick blade]

I’ve only been playing for an hour

But yeah 6 hours can do something to a person

Finally the goat is here

[faint acorn]

bio spark ❤️

[sick blade]

Interesting so am I just gonna have to rely on the Swerve Star and hope for the best?

I got Kine

This is honestly great, I want someone new to do the peaceful dog meme but it’s Scarfy

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

[bitter yarrow]

@waxen elm I am sorry and not sorry at same time /lhj
I probably deserved that CT getting killed like 20 second into the round

15 kills

Wish someone created Leo or Hydra so I could destroyed them…

[waxen elm]

I HAD LIKE NO HP

Also beautiful mega laser moment

[bitter yarrow]

Oh my god that’s how Lilack died 😭

[sonic mesa]

That explains it.

[short trail]

LOOOL there isnt even a pixel

[sonic mesa]

My invincibility happened to run out. 😅

[waxen elm]

i didnt even get the kill....

[sonic mesa]

I drove right into a Charged Particle Cannon.
...Does anyone else watch Zoids?

[sick blade]

I assume this is just go to Crystal and hope for the best

[bitter yarrow]

Do Air

Air with paper or winged

[acoustic violet]

😐

[wintry temple]

amazing thumbnail

[sick blade]

This is the cutest Susie ever

Attaching silly threads to walls with Tirana

[sick blade]

Bro is pissing

[sick blade]

BRUH HOW DID I GEG THIS BEFORE THE FIRE WINGS ACHIEVEMENT!!!?!

I’m genuinely amazed I somehow got the Missile and UFO achievements in not only the same round, but I got them before this which seems like it should be easy to obtain more than those 2

Okay why is the Flame Wings achievement being so picky actually

I have tried so hard to get this one, I even got 2 controllers with the bulk Star so they could be sitting ducks to be hit by the flame wings. I use the flame wings quick spin, it hits both, no achievement is unlocked. So let me ask this: What am I honestly doing wrong?

[charred bloom]

Maybe the achievement is trying to have you take advantage of having a hitbox on both sides of yourself and damage 2 enemies while riding in between them

[bitter yarrow]

event ending in a moment...

[sick blade]

Can I finally get the Flame Wing achievement before the event ends

[bitter yarrow]

event ended 6 min ago 🥲

we may get new event revealed in 1 hour

[sick blade]

https://tenor.com/view/anger-angry-break-gif-19098093

Okay time to finally finish this stupid achievement before I go to sleep and focus the rest of the week to upcoming

[bitter yarrow]

you can always put handicap on the cpu and make them slow and hit them by spinning

I still think the stupidest checklist for top ride is the water pillar

[sick blade]

Yeah you have to press A to land on the water pillar instead of naturally landing on it. I had to get the hop star out for that just to make sure

[bitter yarrow]

I just randomly did it with wheelie scooter while I wasnt thinking much lol

warp star, chariot, and few other machines for my different checklist runs

[sick blade]

I'm gonna give Magalor the Battle Chariot to be as spiteful and hateful to the CPUs as much as possible

I finally did it

Here's what I feel like doing right now

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-hyness-kirby-star-allies-zan-partizanne-violence-gif-25854789

So

You're not supposed to actually use the quick spin

You're supposed to just run into them normally and hit anything

[bitter yarrow]

Gigantes…

[sick blade]

Damn this is what City Trial has in store

[bitter yarrow]

You’re gonna have so much fun (not really, it’s bunch of grinding and horrible RNG) in CT

[sick blade]

Oh that's gonna be awesome I can't wait to endure Super Smash Bros. Melee BS again

I'm still haunted by the Diskun trophy

[bitter yarrow]

I’m def not gonna redo CT checklist in a while

[sick blade]

Can't wait to see the City Trial checklist make me depressed

[short trail]

have you turned off the accesibility visual aid things?

[bitter yarrow]

I had it off since the release lol

It didn’t really helped much on my end so I just shrugged off

[short trail]

fair enough

[sick blade]

I'm gonna say my favorite vehicles in the game have ben Wheelie Scootie, Chariot, and Shadow Star. Though I have been playing with the Battle Chariot and I feel like that will be what I use in City Trial for the most part unless a specific achievement forces me to use the Tank Star for some reason

[short trail]

chariotruther

[sick blade]

Also is there an achievement in City Trial that unlocks the Bull Tank? Because that is the one vehicle I don't have in multiplayer

[charred bloom]

iirc there's only one bull tank rewarding mission, unlike most other machines

[short trail]

yea I ended up purchasing my bull tank

[bitter yarrow]

You get one from dustup derby I think

[sick blade]

Is that in the City Trial missions?

[bitter yarrow]

Yes

It’s like do dustup derby without getting defeated by anyone

[sick blade]

I can be patient

[sick blade]

Knuckle Joe time to re-enact Helper to Hero despite being 13 on the HTH Tier List

[wintry temple]

LMFAOOOOOOOOO THAT GOT ME SO BADLY 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[short trail]

the marx's are trapped in their own hell 😭

[wintry temple]

THE CUT TOO I ACTUALLY CANT

[short trail]

WHY is it all marxes

[charred bloom]

Easiest to bully

[wintry temple]

Easy murder

[bitter yarrow]

made of glass

[short trail]

and paper skin

[charred bloom]

Power tripping on marx cpus is one of my favorite things to do in this game

[wintry temple]

and paper star *

[short trail]

-# yea I will stay safely over in air ride mode with my marx thank you

[bitter yarrow]

CPU is truly the bless to this world

[charred bloom]

That might also be a new record, I’ll have to check

[charred bloom]

He had a plan trust me

[charred bloom]

Aww it was a tie with leo on dustup 2

[sick blade]

Welp finally got basically every achievement besides the Bull Tank achievement since I don’t have it

I'm gonna do a coin flip on if I decide to buy a Bull Tank

Heads for buy
tails for keep money

okay the coin decided I needed a Bull Tank asap

[charred bloom]

If machines run on willpower, and riding on a machine generates miles, and miles are used as a currency…

Does that mean kirby characters literally trade in manifested willpower?

That goes kind of hard, honestly…

[sick blade]

If only I had gotten this done a few hours earlier than I could’ve had a permanent screenshot of this being completed on 4/20

[sick blade]

Also I just now realized the Machine Passage music played in Kirby Planet Robobot in World 6

[bitter yarrow]

Yerppp 7 EX

Steel Organ <3

[sick blade]

I was looking at the OST and why the alt music for Mount Amberfalls Dark Mind’s Theme from Amazing Mirror lmao? I’m not complaining this remix is hype maxing and amazing, but why is it the alt music for Mount Amberfalls of all stages lmao

[bitter yarrow]

They tried to use at least 1 of the original bgm or arrangement from many games, and I guess they just happened to realize dark mind works well
Like D-Mind and Dark Mirage from KSA for example they work very nicely with some high energy arrange

[sick blade]

I’m surprised I don’t immediately recognize some music

[bitter yarrow]

They blend in very well, especially the new ones

[sick blade]

I mean I recognize a lot of the alt music

[bitter yarrow]

And many cases it works perfectly

[sick blade]

Now the Top Ride version of the Mountain is the hype Robobot Music

[jolly mauve]

I assume they thought another rock-based track would fit?

it's less about context and more vibes

[sick blade]

All about vibes maxing just like with Mario Kart 64 had to do to not make playing most tracks even remotely enjoyable

[bitter yarrow]

Vs Dark Matter (Steam) and Cloudy park (Crystal) my beloved

Literally made me cry

[sick blade]

Any time I play with Magalor I’m gonna need to make sure Galactic Nova (Alt) is always played

[bitter yarrow]

Kinda sucks you can’t choose if you want alt or not in online (not paddock)

Cause I choose CROWNED all the time

[sick blade]

Anyways my little guy is gonna wait before the

Future horrors of City Trial I have heard much about

Also I noticed in the achievement unlock there was a weird type of other green achievement that wasn’t characters

It that the minigames?

[bitter yarrow]

A lot of city trial based and stadium based

Also some special one where you can only unlock via unlocking specific checklist as well

[sick blade]

On a scale of 1 - 10 how awful is it to get through the City Trial checklist?

[bitter yarrow]

If you’re lucky, it’s not too bad

If you’re unlucky, it will take you hundreds of hours

Just depends on your luck and RNG

A lot of skill based checklist but the few RNG checklist really kills you

[sick blade]

So it’s either gonna end up in 2 ways when trying to attempt it

Either it’s this

https://tenor.com/view/awesome-cool-the-lego-movie-gif-12933304417668089482

Or it’s this

[bitter yarrow]

Yeppp
Some people just ended up using the free check for the RNG checklists

[sick blade]

https://tenor.com/view/blue-fire-elmo-anarchy-blues-gif-25903479

[bitter yarrow]

Though as far as I know, Sakurai def made the checklist be more “oh hey I just randomly got it” instead of grinding hours on them, hence city trial especially, just happened to be annoying

[sick blade]

I have not used a single check so far and I’m gonna attend to keep it that way (side note I’m sad)

Welp time to go sleep

That’s a Kirby reference

[bitter yarrow]

@waxen elm Bro I was checking all the screenshot I took during our online Gameshare to see the low poly gameplay and I JUST noticed the speed of my Magolor Shadow Star is going 🪦 🪦 🪦 🪦

Yusmistie, you cursed me /lh 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[lusty wyvern]

NO

[faint acorn]

so nova what happened to these lads

[wintry temple]

Too powerful for Nova to attempt to create

[faint acorn]

oh okay makes sense

anyway slightly related but i love the trivia section on the city trial page for wikirby

"The artwork depicting City Trial has Red Kirby riding a Flight Warp Star. Since that particular vehicle can only be used in Free Run, the specific scenario depicted is impossible without modifying the game."

its funny to me specifically because they believe that meteors, dyna blade AND the ufo field event happening at the same time is more believable than a flight warp star being in the city loool

idk thats just funny to me lol

[wintry temple]

Clearly someone hasn’t gotten the All Hell has broken loose! event 🙄

[faint acorn]

sadly not yet 😔

must be rare if i havent got it..

[wintry temple]

Fr though combo field events would be kinda cool

~~rowdy charge tank + gordos ~~

[faint acorn]

broken machine + meteors

[round flax]

“The Subspace Army were just playing Meteos for the Nintendo DS.”

does anyone even touch the daily air ride mode?

[acoustic violet]

I’ve tried😭

https://tenor.com/view/fresh-prince-room-empty-alone-will-s-mith-gif-11321840

[dire gyro]

I've used it a few times

[faint acorn]

same 😭

[sick blade]

That exists?

[rotund grail]

there's literally no point in doing so

since nobody even plays it lmao

[acoustic violet]

Just realized I have 0 Global Win Power on Top Ride and nobody seems to be using its online recently

Anyway rate the new license

[hollow lagoon]

Oops! All Kirby!

[sick blade]

That’s a lot of poyo

[lusty wyvern]

Too much kirby...

That license card's gonna turn into a Kirby!

Dream hard enough and your wishes might reach the clockwork star orbiting the planet

[faint acorn]

I GOT THE ONLINE DRAGOON BADGE YESSSSSSSSSSS

1,292 online matches and 59:23 hours later YAYYY

that took SO long

[faint acorn]

violet in city trial oh YESSS

2 violets and a rainbow WOO

Air Ride: Violet
Top Ride: Rainbow
City Trial: Violet

[rotund grail]

Rainbow top ride before Air Ride and City Trial...

https://tenor.com/view/samurai-jack-aku-how-tf-unbelievable-gif-8289402379491026864

[autumn flame]

because ranking up in top ride is way faster

[short trail]

how do you get it

just play a lot online?

[faint acorn]

yeah it really is just play a lot

cant really tell if its based off hours or play count tho

[faint acorn]

honestly it look a LOT of planning because top rank ranked sucks

marathoning 4/5 of top ride violet in one day maybe wasnt a good idea though....

[short trail]

im an air ride fraud, havent even played enough to get the dragoon badge sticker

[sick blade]

I’m in disbelief right now

So you’re telling me in my second playthrough of City Trial, where I have 142 achievements left, aka were I have less than 10% of all the achievements!! I got none

None at all on my second playthrough of city trial

Wow

This is worse than I thought

[rotund grail]

The flash revolving

[queen venture]

Did an edit, nothing too crazy

[sick blade]

This is what trying to 100% the City Trial Checklist does to you

[round flax]

The Rick and the Rex

[lusty glacier]

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME RIDER

I might just hate the Tank Star

Does he need to do allat

[dire gyro]

Yeah, messing up those attempts at super tight turns doesn't feel good lol

But when you do pull it off, it feels awesome

[faint acorn]

thursday... thats when we find out if there is a kirby's dream land 1 birthday event next week...

[sick blade]

Holy poyo the Paper Star is too broken in Air Ride

LoloLala Rex Wheelie is scary

[wintry temple]

@stoic otter when you smell RICK in the vicinity….#📐Sweep #GetThemPatches

[stoic otter]

RICK

HE'S SO AJKJFKD LOOK AT HIM GOOOOOOOO

MY BLORB

[pine sparrow]

shouldnt he be horb

(hamster orb)

[sick blade]

BRUH THE GAME IS GLITCHED!!

I GOT 17 GLIDE AND THE GAME DIDN’T COUNT IT AS AN ACHIEVEMENT

How does City Trial get worse and worse to complete

[sick blade]

Okay Gigantes is peak

I didn’t get this in the video but I immediately started the Gigantes hype by landing and killing Kracko

[short trail]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrasad-gif-23310565

[sick blade]

Oh hey cool

[short trail]

kracko seeing the Gigantes approach

[sick blade]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-scared-oh-no-stop-it-fearful-gif-12534009

Yeah literally

Oh that is messed up, the fact that the Gigantes achievements unlock the part of the image that shows NOVA

[short trail]

thats such a great detail what 😭

[sonic mesa]

So... Is that Gigantes a recreation?
Or does Zorah lend itself for a while for the competition?

[short trail]

every so often people goofin around in the city and Zorah gets violently dismembered and reassembled into its prison

[sick blade]

Or maybe the current machine the rider had before acts as the vessel, like maybe the Paper Glider I had decided to become evil

[short trail]

it snapped after being the punching bag for so long

[sick blade]

Paper Glider got a bit too quirky at night

[sonic mesa]

I'm just imagining it as a recreation. Noir takes one look and stops his machine, staring.

Noir: . . . . Who's idea of a sick joke was this?
Almost everyone: Marx. -_-

[sick blade]

Funny story, Marx was in second and Noir was there that match

[sonic mesa]

...Would Noir be affected by that? Because technically Zorah is his body.

Noir: ...Great. It's happening again.
Starman: Gigantes parts?
Noir: Yup.

[sick blade]

Marx: I wanted this so I could win

Now I’m worried about when I have to actually fight Gigantes

I think I’ll just have Knuckle Joe on Standby just in case

[sonic mesa]

A flying machine with high attack. The sky is your ally.

I got Gigantes down to half health on a Winged Star with 5 Offense in 1-v-1.
If I had more attack, I could have won.

[sick blade]

So back to Paper Star as always

[bitter yarrow]

Paper has lowest offense, weight, and defense in the entire air ride machine so winged is better in the situation

And you can’t even fly if you have too much weight because Paper Star has huge disadvantages with having too many weight results in not being able to fly at all

[sick blade]

Okay Winged Star it is then

[sonic mesa]

Another dumb thought -
Do you think they asked to use the Halberd in City Trial, or does Meta Knight enjoy the competition so much that he just offered to have it as a random element?

[short trail]

he gives his Halberd regularly scheduled walkies and it just coincides with city trial matches

LOL wrong channel there?

[faint kernel]

lmao

[autumn flame]

i think discord is screwing with me and constantly putting me in the wrong channels

i am 100% sure i did not click on this. i haven't even been in this channel in hours

[faint kernel]

nah I get it

it happens to me sometimes too, like for example when I was trying to ping someone in another server I was going so fast they went to a different person just because the name I was typing at first was the same as the person I meant to ping

so accident ghost ping I had to fix lol

[faint acorn]

ngl chat we needed dusty steel field in this game

[faint acorn]

NO WAIT

SKY HIGH AND SMITTEN

THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THIS GAME ITS PERFECT

[bitter yarrow]

Average Discord moment

It’s not functioning

[sick blade]

Okay so I’m doing stadium achievements that way I can take a break from City Trial, but let me ask

Are there certain achievements I have to do in City Trial in advance to get certain stats up? Because I’ve been trying to get the high jump achievement for 15 seconds with the jet star

I haven’t had much luck with that one

[faint acorn]

okay its tip time

once you unlock a stadium event you CAN switch off all other stadium modes and leave just the one on

outside of that the best thing to do is to grind out for patches, pick a great rider with flight/lift and hope for the best

[bitter yarrow]

Use starman for hijump

And don’t get weight

[sick blade]

What?

[short trail]

spend the whole match fighting over a single button looool

[bitter yarrow]

Yeah pretty much lol just press bunch of buttons that’s not your color

[sick blade]

Oh okay that makes it sound a lot easier to do

I thought I was gonna have to find a single button to fight over the entire race and hoard it

That was the dumbest achievement ever

[sick blade]

Uh how does that make sense? I do nothing and I’m a truth teller? What’s the core relation?

WHO GETS EITHER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS NORMALLY?!?!

[hollow lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-reaction-me-too-yes-acknowledge-me-gif-27117775

[sick blade]

I’m literally trying to do these achievements and I can’t get through the third section because of the wall that rises up an basically ends the run

The moment I change my character I get it first attempt

[surreal bear]

oh god I just got war flashbacks

[sick blade]

Yeah that sucked

[surreal bear]

To this moment

[hollow lagoon]

I think I used the Wagon Star

[surreal bear]

I've been a Wheelie Bike main since day zero

[sick blade]

I’m a Wheelie Scooter fan for life

OH MY GOD SMASHY BROS!!!!!

[surreal bear]

Scooter is always nice

[sick blade]

Finish without riding on the ground for more than 10 seconds…………… What does that mean?

I got the 50 second achievement

But not the ground achievement

Wait does this mean I have to basically spend most of the race in the air?!

[sick blade]

Okay I’ve attempted this achievement and I still don’t know what to do

[tidal mauve]

basically have to get a machine with enough glide but not a ton of speed stats

paper star is a good pick

dragoon usually moves too fast before the timer ticks past 10 secs of air time, tho you could try to stall by trying to go in circles if you can w/ dragoon's rather steep handling in the air

idk if specials like starman or mk can count for you getting more air time, but theoretically it should, so you could stall a bit before actually racing just to get that special gauge going

[bitter yarrow]

paper dragoon winged shadow with enough top speed and glide
ngl if you just keep playing with one of those, you will get them relativily easily

and if the cpu is annoying, give them level 1 and handicap lv 4

[tidal mauve]

dragoon might be too fast for the achievement

had it happen before

[bitter yarrow]

I think I did mine with hydra lol

[sick blade]

Unfortunately the switch 2 for some reason isn’t picking up WiFi, but uh what the actual hell does this achievement mean?

[bitter yarrow]

You need to max out 4 of the status in single match

Like the status you get from the patch

Like smth like these

19 is the max you can get, so you need 19 in four of the category

[sick blade]

I’m going to Marx Soul right now this is awful

[bitter yarrow]

If you get lucky with the 3 field events, or even get Hydra or Leo, you may end up with good stats

[waxen elm]

Rip to that guy below lol

[bitter yarrow]

I wonder who that was

(Sorry this was the most recent stat screen I took lol)

[waxen elm]

Dw that slick star is flying off to space lol

[hollow wharf]

After 270 hours of playing this game, I finally caught my first wild legendary

It was a VERY satisfying turn of events, too, as earlier in the match I had two Dragoon parts and a Leo piece, and managed to lose all of them through various jousts

[lusty wyvern]

LOCK THE FUCK IN

[hollow wharf]

Pales in comparison to how hard I lock in when Gigantes is in play

I often end up physically shaking afterward, and have to calm myself down by reiviewing the footage to further study the part spawning patterns

In fact, have this:

The earliest I ever assembled Gigantes in a Ranked match

Replay ID RP2G3PVM, titled "Best Game of My Life" because it ABSOLUTELY was

To put it into perspective, if you factor in the Trial and Vs. Gigantes portions together, I spent more time in Gigantes than not this match

It was absurd

[surreal bear]

Any advice for the "Attack 5 total riders with the UFO Copy Ability" objective?

In Top Ride

[hollow wharf]

UFO only spawns if you're VERY far behind everyone else if I remember correctly, so the way I handled it was by making very long races against CPUs and staying far enough behind for it to eventually spawn, then catching up to the rest of the pack and attacking them, even if I do so by having them attack me

[surreal bear]

It and Missile seem to spawn everywhere in Top Ride from my experience given I just got Missile like 4 times while in 1st

If only I had that luck in Air Ride

[hollow wharf]

Ah. Yeah, I must've confused it with Air Ride, then, where UFO only spawns if you're very far behind for a long while

[surreal bear]

Yeah and Missile never spawns

[Event]
"Ride on a Different Machine Every Day!" Event Announced!
Compete in a ride using a different machine each day!
Take this opportunity to try out machines you don't usually ride!

not sure how this will work
...or even what mode it is

[last igloo]

Based on my assumptions from twitter's translation (it repeatedly mentions an "Upper Ride"), this could be a top-ride mode

@ Magolor, is this true?

[short trail]

every day? the event changing the way it functions every day it is active is definitely new-

[autumn flame]

won't change much when i complete every event in a day lol

[hollow wharf]

I get the impression it might not literally be "every day," when the event runs for so few days relative to the number of machines in the game

[short trail]

unless theres a limited roster of machines to choose from instead of strictly one

[wanton carbon]

its just locked on 'random' for the entire time

this is my joke just in case

[bitter yarrow]

Top Ride 🙏 🙏

[faint acorn]

I WAS RIGHT

EVENT WOOP

[faint acorn]

okay so here's whats up

there is a different selection of machines every day

[bitter yarrow]

Gonna hope they do birthday paddock and Skyah and menu change

[faint acorn]

ill have to look at the proper line up on my switch in a bit since i just snagged this from online, but yeah, its a rotation of different machines

[faint acorn]

i had a cute idea of the game boy elements being all over the menu and skyah hehe

[bitter yarrow]

Event announcement was expected but just waiting to see if they will do it the other bit

[faint acorn]

considering all the 4/27 references its possible..

[bitter yarrow]

The previous event item was already pretty celebrating so hopefully next one gives you idk party hat or smth

[faint acorn]

game boy hat

[faint acorn]

okay lets do this

[faint acorn]

Day 1: Chariot, Battle Chariot

Day 2: Formula Star, Rocket Star, Turbo Star

Day 3: Tank Star, Bull Tank

Day 4: Wheelie Bike, Rex Wheelie, Wheelie Scooter

list updates every 24 hours

[sonic mesa]

No Winged Star...

[faint acorn]

as someone who finished the ranked side of top ride and knows "the tech", day 2 scares the hell outta me

[bitter yarrow]

Day 2 is literally battle zone

I aren’t going in lol

Just gonna do day 1 and call it a day

Actually maybe I’ll do little day 4 for Rex and Scooter

[faint acorn]

i am absolutely skipping day 2 (even though i usually do these in a day lol)

i cant go back to rocket and formula meta 😭

[bitter yarrow]

Formula user when final straight and Space:

Like

Literally formula n rocket sweeped

(Random machine and random course in paddock)

[faint acorn]

its so cruel, formula and rocket are evil in this mode

[bitter yarrow]

-# gosh Magolor alt only paddock was so fun

[faint acorn]

SOMEONE GAVE ME A FREE HYDRA AND I WON HIGH JUMP LOOOOL

(basically someone got hydra, but then switched to leo)

(they WERE destroying it, but i swiped it in SECONDS before it died!)

[faint acorn]

ultimate cat and mouse that game, i had 1 piece, they had 2 pieces, they wanted their hydra

(i won the hydra LOL)

[faint acorn]

so i didnt realise up until now that the game lets you choose between KM/H and MPH lol

[rancid panther]

that's funny

at least we have scooter in day 4

[faint acorn]

yeah wheelie day is coming lol

[dire gyro]

Having a day with just the flight focused machines would've been really funny

Winged, Shadow, Jet

Or Winged, Jet, Paper

[charred bloom]

The starman/meta knight lobbies broken up only by people with a dedicated main

[dire gyro]

Maybe I'd finally get to see if those machines are any good in Top Ride, since you have less control over gliding and there's less ramps than Air Ride

[hollow wharf]

No Transform Star, either

[surreal bear]

No Swerve

Y'all I may be cooked

Day 4 is probably going to be my best shot

[hollow lagoon]

Trying to complete Mountain within 45 seconds without lowering to 1 lap

I have done it

[hollow lagoon]

Just completed all the checklists

All 5 pieces of the puzzle!

[bitter yarrow]

It’s so satisfying and very nice that the update added online completion in the full completed screen

[lean sigil]

Siiick

[gusty flax]

Oh we’ve got a Top Ride event coming up

About time

[bitter yarrow]

yerrpp our 2nd top ride event

first one was so fun

[lean sigil]

True, I liked it

hot take is that I think I have more fun with Top Ride than I do Air Ride ngl

[acoustic violet]

I wonder if the event prizes will be birthday themed this time

[bitter yarrow]

Possibly? Like the previous one was pretty birthday themed as well

[acoustic violet]

Oh yeah
I forgot😋

[bitter yarrow]

Maybe we get birthday hat

Or smth

[lean sigil]

birthday shades

[bitter yarrow]

Previous one didn’t had any hat so I wouldn’t be surprised if they revealed that next event will give us a party hat or some hat

They should honestly give us wheelie rider hat tbh
It’s similar to pilot hat but it’ll be cool

[lean sigil]

I'd take it

[bitter yarrow]

Or even Robobot armor helmet lol

One of them…

[acoustic violet]

Hope so
I want more hats based off stuff from games lol

[bitter yarrow]

Sameeee

I want Manager Magolor hat

[acoustic violet]

IT WOULD BE PEAK

[rotund grail]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[short trail]

called it

[faint acorn]

god i LOOOOVE my dominos delivery girl susie combo

https://tenor.com/view/brian-brian-family-guy-brian-griffin-brian-griffin-fat-fat-gif-9116488734944374103

[lean sigil]

NOOO

[faint acorn]

what is it lol

/gen

[lean sigil]

Oh no just the gif, I see it in every one of my friend's DMs and I open this and see it lmao

(wait is that an actual good combo for the game? I have the same dominos scooter)

[faint acorn]

OH LOL

anyway for me yeah this combo slaps for air ride

maybe that has to do with me playing air ride for years but no its a great combo

[rotund grail]

Susie Scooter is one of the better scooter combos

Pound for pound scooter itself has a lot of shortcomings though

[lean sigil]

that would explain why 3 of my buddies pick these two together

[faint acorn]

yeah dominos susie is just consistent

and yes. i call her dominos susie.

i even give her a blue cap.

[lean sigil]

LMAO AWESOME

Weird how little I use bikes (I am mostly a chariot person)

[solid plaza]

i've only seen you on a chariot a couple times

[faint acorn]

pffft thx lmao

i should draw her lol

[lean sigil]

Oh Ik, usually when I play with you or others here, I wanna experiment more, mostly because I feel like me just using Bandee (again) on the chariot (again) will get kinda old and like fighting games, I like to rotate my options. It's why I am playing Magolor more because the first...well 300 hours is just me as Bandee besides Road Trip lmao

[lean sigil]

DO IT (I probs will too)

[faint acorn]

LOL OKAY

[rotund grail]

Okay...

[waxen elm]

oof im not sure if im motivated enough to do the event

[bitter yarrow]

It shouldn’t take long

Since its top ride theyre like 20 min max

[lean sigil]

^

[rotund grail]

The Air ride ones have taken me less than an hour

Top ride shouldn't take that long

[queen venture]

Mmmm... is it me or are there every few players on CT?

[surreal bear]

GOT EM

[bitter yarrow]

Congrats!

[surreal bear]

oh my god I wish you could just turn off specific items in Top Ride

I'm somehow not overstimulated by Air Ride or City Trial but Top Ride does do it for me and it's due to most of the items

And no, turning off certain types of items does NOTHING when I need an item in one of those categories to SHOW UP

FINALLY

I'M FREE

AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS GAME

I AM NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN

[autumn flame]

ooooh you wanna reset all the checklists and do all 750 tasks again 👻👻👻👻

[bitter yarrow]

That’s me rn!

I’m resetting everything

4th time

🪦

Only thing is that my alt has no NSO so online isn’t part of em

(regarding the shit matchmaking)

I just sent my complaint though the Nintendo Switch App's feedback feature

[lean sigil]

oh def same

That's 50+ hours of waiting for the Halberd my ass is never getting back

[bitter yarrow]

Crispy screenshot

I love Gameshare crispy low quality screenshot and video sm

And low poly model for some

[unique shale]

by the way

I need to find the video again

[waxen elm]

1

[bitter yarrow]

n o

[bitter yarrow]

whyyyyyy

alright yusmi hop on gameshare again /j

[waxen elm]

I need to see the switch 1 gameshare experience

[bitter yarrow]

gameshare is so trippy I still cant stop laughingfrom it

I love how it just reveals every ability you have or when you're doing special from the sounds

also very trippy hearing the announcer go "ufo!" out of nowhere because someone behind got one

[waxen elm]

Still dont know what happened to the cpu

They despawned or something

[bitter yarrow]

they were extremely behind

like about 2 min behind

dunno why we didnt encountered them at all during the all 3 laps

I know one of them did died but idk what happened to the others

[waxen elm]

Thing is i didnt see them pass me

[earnest tree]

I am so down with this

[bitter yarrow]

they evaporated from nova

[bitter yarrow]

if sakurai was based, he would've give us a meta knight mask as an option to wear

[earnest tree]

TRUEEE

[bitter yarrow]

(or masked dedede mask )

[lean sigil]

I am sorta surprised neither is in the game when they're like super obvious ones to add

(tho the game doesn't have any masks so idk maybe that's why)

[bitter yarrow]

still sad we dont have more alt

I think 4 colors would be perfect for everyone

[lean sigil]

I expected that ngl

even if it was just like ripped from Star Allies and they were just the P2, P3 and P4 colors

[earnest tree]

Yeah, balanced alts would of been awesome

[bitter yarrow]

magolor couldve gotten shopkeeper and probably traitor or soul color...

[lean sigil]

(tho tbh you don't need to do that with all of them but if you legit couldn't with some then that game woulda helped)

Yeah

I wanted Pres. Parallel Susie and Morpho Knight colored MK

[unique shale]

I forgot to upload the video I was talking about

[bitter yarrow]

Im happy with daranza alt but I wish we did get ourple taranza (clash) as well

[lean sigil]

Same, I wish we got Marx Soul

[unique shale]

how do you feel about disappearing Nova

[wintry temple]

They literally have more than enough available* checklist boxes to have given every character at least 1 more alt
* available as in just gives like 200 miles

[bitter yarrow]

YEAH IM CRYING OVER NO MAGOLOR SOUL SKIN

*marx

marx

not magolor

[lean sigil]

WHAT THE

[unique shale]

I mean

[wintry temple]

Marxolor soul

[unique shale]

why not Magolor Soul skin

[bitter yarrow]

shopkeeper higher priority tbh

[wintry temple]

DALE

[unique shale]

I want pink magolor

[lean sigil]

I'm just confused since I do like Marx's alt in Air Riders...but come on Soul was right there

[bitter yarrow]

if they werent adding marx soul alt

I wish they just made marx soul boss

instead of regular marx

[unique shale]

I admit the main problem I have is definitely how skins are just rare

[wintry temple]

I do wonder how Sakurai feels about Marx soul as a character/concept

[unique shale]

probably just fine considering Smash Ultimate exists

[waxen elm]

I wonder what came first, the boss fight or the playable character

[bitter yarrow]

me seeing billions of marx in game (I want more magolor)

[unique shale]

how about

quadsbillions of magolors

[wintry temple]

I was about to say:
Considering Air Riders and Smash Ultimate have plenty of Marx representation but literally no Marx Soul representation

[bitter yarrow]

I am like a car
except the gasoline is magolor

[wintry temple]

Marx Soul isn't even a spirit

[unique shale]

egg

[waxen elm]

Id like to see peoples ideal roster with the slots we have atm

[dire gyro]

Ngl I thought I remembered him in Smash Ultimate until I realized I was thinking of the "true form" spirit evolution

[lean sigil]

It is

Soul isn't in either game and I am confused why

[bitter yarrow]

I thought you said ideal roster as "idol rooster" Im going to die

[wintry temple]

Yeah me too, had to check rq

and yep no marx soul, just "true form"

[waxen elm]

Next kirby game trust

A character to rival neichel

[bitter yarrow]

honestly I am fine with this roster

I really dont have any other thing to ask for

NO bias for magolor btw

[lean sigil]

I do but this roster is good, not my ideal but I like it

[bitter yarrow]

like its a well balance between some common enemy/character + dream friends that people asked for

[waxen elm]

Id prob replace cappy with like drawcia and thats it

[bitter yarrow]

its all balanced out with the amount of heavy weight, balanced, and light weight exists

[lean sigil]

personally I'd probs remove Knuckle Joe and add another enemy, no shade to him but he's kinda the only guy I sorta went stone face to see again

[waxen elm]

The drawcialessness of this game is crazy

[wintry temple]

Roster sucks cuz knuckle joe but no simirror

[bitter yarrow]

knuckle joe felt like it was obvious choice because of anime and how it kinda represents major helper (like KSSU)

like I guess it works out at the end

joe shines in city trial

[lean sigil]

Ik why he is here...just eh

I am fine with him

Just if he was replaced, I wouldn't be upset ngl

[wintry temple]

Genuinely though, he's fine, it's just,,,,,,,

he's just. thats what it is, he's just .

[lean sigil]

I like fighter as an ability tho

[waxen elm]

Knuckle joe is like the main regular enemy/helper not counting waddle dees but i could not care for him at all

[bitter yarrow]

kawasaki and joe being in smash and also highlight in anime, kinda shows that sakurai likes them so it was probably easy for him to play around with

[wintry temple]

ngllllll did we need Waddle Dee on the roster alongside Bandee

[bitter yarrow]

at least you see people use all 21 characters

[waxen elm]

It didnt take that much work so idm

Same with marx

[wintry temple]

Ik they're not the same but Kirby is already the "easy to use beginner character"

[waxen elm]

Idm him being a boss since i feel like he was because they had the resources

[lean sigil]

Yeah which might be why I can't say I care much...eh kinda, I like Kawasaki

[waxen elm]

I never seen someone hate kawasaki

[lean sigil]

But Joe and Cappy feel like "uh anime" which is fine I guess, Cappy at least is funny

[waxen elm]

MASHER SHOULD OF GOTTEN IN

[wintry temple]

i do mind because it means no simirror /hj /gen*
* gen as in I do actually feel this way, we missed out on a unique character because of a low effort copy

[bitter yarrow]

its funny because magolor has the most balanced status of every character in roster but he has one of the hardest unlock requirement and Sakurai treated like magolor is the secret main character status

[lean sigil]

I do feel like if they were gonna reuse stuff from Smash or Star Allies...I probs woulda went with idk NESP or GIM or Jamberjab/Jambeliever since Star Allies only has like a ripped song and not much else

[wintry temple]

Also im ngl with how Noir Dedede just sticks out of the roster and lies to us about the possibility of 3 or 2 other secret characters because of this, I wouldn't even mind if Waddle Dee wasn't in the game

Just for UI's sake

I get why he's here but like. mannnnn

[waxen elm]

Have i played air riders with you leaf? I cant recall

[wintry temple]

No ion got online

[waxen elm]

I can add u to my family plan if you want

[bitter yarrow]

waddle dee was truthfully added for a sake of "generic waddle dee is popular" and "people will get mad if generic dee isnt in it but has bandee" and not only because "just make bandee but lighter and no bandana"

[wintry temple]

Wait like actually??? Hell yeah

[wintry temple]

Yeah thats what I figured

[waxen elm]

Yep i think i have like 2 spaces lefy

[wintry temple]

As I said before, makes sense but. mannnn

[bitter yarrow]

oh yeah yusmi

[waxen elm]

Yeep

[bitter yarrow]

were you able to add karoll?

[waxen elm]

I wasnt…

[bitter yarrow]

karoll was asking me about wanting to join your family group

[waxen elm]

I think there was issues

[bitter yarrow]

op

[waxen elm]

But she can try again

[bitter yarrow]

@mortal basalt hey

[waxen elm]

All i need is the email connected to the account, it should send to the emails dm thingy

[mortal basalt]

hey

oh yea uh

funny thing we never got the email
-# and i was a bit stupid because i sent it to my brother's acc

[waxen elm]

I resent if you wanna check

[mortal basalt]

got it

[bitter yarrow]

still wished we can play air riders with s1 online!!

so many people I can drag down to the air riders hell hole

[waxen elm]

They should just add gamechat to switch1!!!

I guess they love the fish button too much

[bitter yarrow]

Im just glad its at least available in local sharing

gonna do it next weekend with my friend

since she only owns s1...

and my cousin also only owns s1 I think

Such a nice shade of yellow…

[lusty wyvern]

NOVA FLEW AWAY

[faint acorn]

okay so i might be going crazy here but ive been wanting to talk about this for a while so lets see how it goes

for marx's defeat screen, doesnt it kinda look like his eyes in KSA?

and while this one could be a stretch, the zero two defeat pose reminds me of zero's defeat pose in the perfect boss butch screen lol

overall these boss victory screens remind me of Squeak Squad's congratulation screen for boss endurance haha

communism

[sturdy moat]

this is peam

[bitter yarrow]

Vs Marx but everyone is paper star marx

[dire gyro]

Self hatred

Marx fighting himself and other Marxes, poor guy 😔

[stiff bobcat]

LoLa and chariot is my fav for city trial.

[short trail]

tank slander

what did tank do to you

[stiff bobcat]

Shouldn't Bull Tank be warpped up with it too?

Thought tbf for me Bull Tank is the machine I forget about the most.

[short trail]

bull tank is more fun than og tank imo

[stiff bobcat]

Makes sense

[short trail]

bull tank marx very fun

[stiff bobcat]

Never tried it

[bitter yarrow]

Bull tank is fine

They’re actually good if you know how to use them around

Why Bull Tank is potential

• Has 2nd highest top speed right behind formula star in terms of regular machines
• Very tanky machine with super high weight and defense
• The disadvantages on dirty road is lower than average machines

Main downside is there’s machines like battle chariot and Rex wheelie that people tend to end up going for

[short trail]

it gets soooo fast lol

[bitter yarrow]

The overall status wise, Bull tank is much better than tank star

[short trail]

yea i never use tank star, only bull tank if im choosing a tank at all

[acoustic violet]

I like Tank Star but sometimes I’ll get the most bullshit thing ever where I’ll hit a corner in the middle of a boost charge and it’ll get stuck for a few seconds😭

[short trail]

tank star timeout corner 🥀

[acoustic violet]

You hate to see it!!!

I love using Bull Tank specifically for Marx though

[short trail]

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-marx-marx-kirby-kirby-marx-kirby-air-riders-gif-6313781873178855270

gotta help him canonically bully innocent civillians

[bitter yarrow]

Bull tank and rex wheelie is what I use in any of the HP air ride

[short trail]

i use scarfy in hp air ride... the angry mode and the special being that flaming ball are so good

[acoustic violet]

Oh yeah
I’ve been stuck playing with retirement on for the past few days now😭

It’s so fun lmao

[short trail]

i miss relay mode

should grab a group of losers and make a racing club for relay racing competitive /unserious

[acoustic violet]

If I had the time I’d definitely join it lmao

[bitter yarrow]

Death

[short trail]

no no i dont play games competitively, i just grind out my skill as best i can to what i enjoy, and if what im doing is suboptimal and people are like "hey man choosing [character here] is stupid and bringing us down" id go "Nuh uh "

bcs the point of playing games is to have fun, and winning is fun, but if what im doing to win is grinding out specifically optimal strats that i dont enjoy doing, im not having fun

so i try not to say im a competitive player because i get competitve! but i am not about that life

sorry i turned that into an unecessary rant

[acoustic violet]

Nah you cooked

[stiff bobcat]

Wait, did thet remove it?

[short trail]

NO 😭

i havent played it in a while and its paddock only, you cant just queue up with randoms

[stiff bobcat]

Oh good!

[short trail]

if they removed relay that would be a crime

[stiff bobcat]

I loved relat

[bitter yarrow]

Maybe future event

[stiff bobcat]

Even after that one annoying race I did.

[stiff bobcat]

Yeah! The events are grwat!

[short trail]

im awaiting the relay event eagerly. they made hp one, surely relay...

[stiff bobcat]

Yeah

[stiff bobcat]

By the way, I lost a race by 0.05 seco ds after racing for 8 minutes and 47 seconds

It was fun though

Guys, I'm currently achievement grinding, air ride mode and I onpy have 1 achievement left, but I can't seem to get it.

It's the Chef Kawasaki one where you have to eat your own curry.

Do you guys know how to get it?

[bitter yarrow]

Throw the curry into the wall and eat them by activating your special while you’re running into the wall

[stiff bobcat]

Ok.

I'll try that

[short trail]

wouldnt rail grinding work?

the food clings to the rails i thought

[stiff bobcat]

OMG THANK YOU!!

All I have left is City Trail!

Which I dread

Somehow, I've.made no progress on the chest thing, deapite getting this game 6 months ago.

[bitter yarrow]

CT is like

Just don’t even worry much and unlock it randomly

[stiff bobcat]

There's a couple I worry about though.

The big one is to fpy through all the midair rings, I try like everytime I play it.

And the win against Gigantes in 1:45. I've never even won against Gigantes before, let alone on a time limit.

[bitter yarrow]

Get winged or shadow, or dragoon

Fly around and memorize where each of the rings are

[bitter yarrow]

Do you have online?
