kirby and gooey hardly got picked over rick scooter, what hell

bitter yarrow
#

Honestly it was half half for me

#

A lot of gooey and kirby

#

Rick was there and there was some Kawasaki and noir

#

I didn’t encounter single Magolor aside from myself KyoukoPensive

faint acorn
#

wow 😔

#

i pretty much just saw ricks and one kirby

#

i never saw a gooey outside of myself

bitter yarrow
#

I knocked off random gooey at nova and I felt bad

#

(I don’t it was funny)

#

kirby nooo!!!

autumn flame
#

i have a feeling the 3 specials from kirby's alternate colors were added pretty late in development, or at least didn't take too long to make

#

crash is just a big explosion very similar to bomb or meteor rocky
burn is kinda just fire's burning attack but longer
and snow bowl is very obviously based on steel ball

#

ever since i learned how the use the vampire star well it's been one of my favorite machines in air ride

autumn flame
#

event complete yay

#

WHY AM I UNABLE TO GET ANY AMIIBO REWARDS ANYMORE???

solid plaza
#

only complaint is why they chose rick for this and not against magolor

#

yeah.. nah this first day of the event is beans..

oh right event

#

I need to actually play this event and not do like the other that I only did half of the rewards then got the time it ended wrong and didn't get teh rest

bitter yarrow
#

Proud Magolor user dying from how huge buff the characters get

#

Ah yeah this event is shortest as well

#

It’s only 3 days long

solid plaza
#

i'll probably jump on day three just to see how overpowered they'll make king dedede

bitter yarrow
#

Day 3 is so funny lol

#

Magolor, Marx, Dedede

solid plaza
#

oh i think i might have done the most upsetting steal of first place.

#

was at the finishing area in sky sands in third, too a ramp and won by less than a second while in the air

#

on my trusty pea wagon of course

#

y'know.. Snow bowl might be hella underrated for how easy it is to just plow over everyone and take first

You know what would make for a pretty funny Air Ride event

#

Races but they randomly spawn items from Top Ride/City Trial

The only Checklist item I haven't completed in City Trial is the "Win against Gigantes in 1:45" one

#

Legendary machine parts don't despawn

bitter yarrow
#

Just wanna let you know these messages are from 4 days ago </3

I am aware of machine parts not despawning outside of certain conditions

fiery sentinel
#

Creepy 💀

fiery sentinel
#

Wait, what are those conditions?

bitter yarrow
#

Like when there was a glitch that despawns parts for rest of the match Bandee_SecretDiary

fiery sentinel
#

Oof

bitter yarrow
#

When someone drops a legendary parts at same time as swapping machine, it despawns the parts as well

#

I don’t think that one was fixed yet

#

The downside of parts not despawning is that if the parts get stuck in certain area that’s impossible for machine to grab, or get stuck inside certain areas, it’s legit impossible to get it

#

Even with magnets

Heartbreaking: rocky bike might be kinda goated

#

They respawn if it falls off the map safely

#

(In random area, usually visible like few moment later)

short trail
#

ok thats a nice failsafe

bitter yarrow
#

Yeah as long as it falls off the map completely they will respawn

#

It’s just if it fails to and get stuck in some wildest area no machine can reach or get stuck inside a terrain you’re cooked

Ugh man, more license nonsense?

#

Man these events are running out of things to give

#

License Card decorations wouldn't even be an issue had there been more than one design that we could make

bitter yarrow
#

Tbf these are short event

#

So they’re not gonna do hat event for people that might not make it

#

I do miss hats though, I do hope next one or after is one

jolly mauve
#

hats mainly tie into holidays I think

#

I don't remember when the golden top hat was, might have been new years but otherwise all of the other ones are holidays

#

it wasn't new years it was in March

#

but at least the other ones are holiday based

using a non boosted character for the event, so that I could finally defeat the stupid missile enemy for the "defeat all enemies" checklist for online

#

but took forever

dire gyro
#

Yeah the event is surprisingly good for those checklists lol

rugged marsh
#

Hey that’s a good idea actually

#

It exists holy shit

#

(I had an assumption they wanted to challenge themselves somehow)

#

It's also possible some people just have a favorite character

bitter yarrow
#

This yeah lol

#

It’s also satisfying if you win with non boosted favorite

#

Good job Magolor! (Won 1st place with 5 boosted on day 2)

#

Star slide really carried me

short trail
#

i wasnt even able to utilize star slide they were so boosted when I tried non boosted character squish

#

like the star trail was hardly visible anymore they were so far ahead and it wasnt speeding me up to drive in the trail

#

Dang MahoroaCake_Joeover

Honestly it was a bet, was using Rex wheelie or formula star and hoped for the best

Nova, Amberfall, and Nebula Belt was the best bet as well

Only issue was hoping the special doesn’t charge first lol

Also machine passage was funny with everyone except me got stuck at the bumper section

Point, and, laugh.

#

people getting stuck on the bumper in machine passage is always funny

short trail
#

until it happens to you

bitter yarrow
#

I just cry about it

solid plaza
#

i'm pretty good at not getting bumpered

#

it's actually even funnier smacking somone into a bumper that's just starting to move

I just go the safe way lol

#

This might be the funniest glitch ever

The way Gigantes falls off the map is historical

It’s funnier because it legit plays Gigantes defeat animation on hijump stadium regardless

I guess as a failsafe for glitches like this

When it's been a month since you've played Air Riders, the game starts teaching you how to play again 😭

Im saying there isnt a part of the game that checks if Gigantes should be spawned in during a non compatible area.

still valve
#

ah, that's bit different
which we already knew went for the other Legendary Machines (and partially for Flight Warp Star)

bitter yarrow
#

Need Gigantes to spawn in air ride single race

still valve
#

same
also with Flight Warp Star

#

Top Ride would also be hilarious for Gigantes

bitter yarrow
#

Flight Warp Star </3

short trail
#

flight machines are so weird to use on top ride

bitter yarrow
#

Still wish they don’t force quit you wit the glitch

still valve
#

at least we can make CPUs use it

short trail
#

wing star works peak in the Air top ride track but anywhere else really the flight mechanic isnt super useful/or at least intuitive

I've been thinking about trying to force a Figure Player onto it and seeing if that would work but that sounds incredibly convoluted

#

I remember pop-up tips came up every now and again during my first few months of owning the game

#

Despite playing borderline daily

#

But I don't think I've seen them in a while?

#

But I think some of them just pop up if the game detects you doing something "wrong," like holding forward on the stick or refusing to get off your Compact Star

surreal bear
#

Well obviously the game doesn't know what it's talking about

dire gyro
#

Yeah lol

#

I've seen players getting crazy results with Compact

#

I've heard its handling stays pretty easy to manage even with several patches

bitter yarrow
#

Rail panic is a very interesting one as well, considering you can easily win or lose

short trail
#

thats why i run low speed characters for city trial

bitter yarrow
#

Like Hydra isn’t good with rail panic, while Dragoon is top tier

short trail
#

really?

surreal bear
#

I'm consistently good at Rail Panic, so that probably contributed to this specific victory

bitter yarrow
#

Yeah Hydra is very bad unless you can destroy other machine in process

dire gyro
#

Being on rails makes it impossible to release those charges

faint acorn
#

not sure how many people know this, but the pop offs can be turned off in the options

short trail
#

but it has a high top speed, does that not transfer to the rail

faint acorn
#

i pretty much had them off by default since ive had years of air ride practice beforehand lol

bitter yarrow
#

Yeah Hydra’s status just doesn’t work well with how rail panic works
Also the guaranteed delayed start can end up having Rocket Star or dragoon escape through

#

Rocket, Dragoon, Leo, Turbo, Wheelie being the best

surreal bear
#

Yeah Wheelie Bike is my most consistent winner on Rail Panic

# short trail but it has a high top speed, does that not transfer to the rail

Late but
It’s funny how the game recommends rail panic as Hydra, even though you can say Hydra is the worst machine in rail panic, as well as worst stadium to go into as Hydra out of all thing
The lack of patch_Boost stats slows down Hydra, and Hydra already has slow start because of charging mechanics, which may be worse than Bulk Star at that point
So even if you have max patch_TopSpeed there’s a chance you may still go slower than machine like compact star

Hence why it’s better to just focus on destroying the machine instead of trying to race normally, because you will likely going to not win if there is at least 1 person with good stats or machine like dragoon, leo, rocket, turbo, wheelie etc

short trail
#

thats crazyy lol

bitter yarrow
#

Dragoon and Rocket is the scariest to deal with because Dragoon = ignore every gimmick, constantly in max air speed
Rocket = Crazy speed boost that’s just works perfectly with the gimmicks

#

Hydra is nothing as long as you don’t get attacked Kapar

#

Like if your machine slows down in cave section, there’s a chance you may die to Hydra that approaches behind you

short trail
#

ive learned to fear and respect rocket after the nova time trial event

bitter yarrow
#

Rocket Star is like ASMR, I love the noise they make

short trail
#

all i hear are the little "poot-!" noise it make when you fail to fully charge

bitter yarrow

Hehe funny rocket

Like man, KARs Rocket is so beautiful

#

3 days are very short

I kind of need them to say when the meteors are going to be here
because I will die instantly if they exist

bitter yarrow
#

I get it’s top ride (or air ride) and it’s not city trial but it still sucks since it’s gonna be very easy to miss even on weekend, vs if it’s available all week, even if it’s spread out, it’ll be easier for people to not miss out

SO WE CAN GET 8 PLAYER AIR RIDE IN SINGLE RACE STADIUM AND IN AN EVENT BUT NOT IN THE REGULAR MODE!?!?

this is the 4th event in a row to not be in city trial 😭

At least it’s short

#

Next one is probably city trial…

weren't you just complaining about it being short?

#

No Im complaining about 3 days long

#

Not finishing in 20 min short

i just realized there's a good chance i won't even get any 8 player lobbies 😭 😭 😭

#

Ah fair

autumn flame
#

or even like. 4 players

bitter yarrow

Because it won’t matter if you can’t play within that 3 day span

#

I might legit take my switch 2 to Disneyland and play them

last igloo
#

Sakurai this is the third rotation event

faint acorn
#

im sure some people (which includes myself) just grind on the first day and never touch the event again

#

so i guess because of this they've just shrunken the overall play time maybe?

grave nimbus
#

I kinda hate how short events are in this game. And also how so much content is locked behind them, so I end up playing out of fomo alone.

bitter yarrow
#

Yeah, like honestly I’d rather go against bot and not real player at that point if they can make it longer

Plus most game by year 2 of rotation, majority of people will already been done and it’s not going to have big player base anyways

i gotta commend road trip for like actually showing the game's backstory, rather than just giving it in dialogue and pause screen descriptions and interviews

They stated that Zorah's wish got "corrupted" on its way to Nova which is why it ended up making a doomsday machine. But genuinely I keep forgetting that tidbit and will probably contiue to keep seeing Nova as a troll wish granter. Not even because I'm choosing to ignore that detail but because I legitimately forget about it most of the time

nothing said that zorah's wish got corrupted, that's just a common theory

the interview just implied that there was "another malicious force" with zero elaboration on what that means

#

man is it possible for ANY part of kirby lore to not evolve into a misconception?

gentle sparrow
#

Genuinely that interview only made Air Riders' story worse

#

Not only is it something that wasn't remotely hinted towards but all it's done is bring more questions that likely won't be answered

#

I will join the club of pretending like that detail doesn't exist and Nova was just doing a bit of trolling

unkempt knoll
#

Oh was that point in the interview misconstrued?

#

My bad

I just went along with it because I didn't want to just ignore whatever point was made completely and didn't think it may have been worded weirdly in translation

  1. official information is given
  2. people make subjective interprations of the information

It’s top ride with 8 people

I think I actually hate this event

Guys I think they gave up on these events

still valve

think it's mostly just due to not having anything 'major' to do for last month or two (though I think they could have done more for anniversary at least, or maybe even Mother's Day)
.....maybe there will be one for start of Summer next month?

Why is the offense stat even displayed in Top Ride

ugghhhhh Top Ride is not meant for this and it shows

I saw some guy a while ago complaining that "the machines were too simple and not interesting" only to get hit with every reason them being simple works and the guy's attempted redesigns didn't

they just put like some star things at the end??

"As someone who doesn't play the game" lol you just want visual eye candy from a distant perspective. That's going to be very very different immediately transferred over to ... having all that visuals to look at and grab your attention in gameplay

not to immediately knock their creative vision just an observation

#

what would you even be doing on the subreddit of a game you don't play??

#

the face on shadow star is definitely cute, but the ornaments in the back are too much. It also tries to soften or pedal back on what it's initially going for in its "oooh shadowy edgy" vibes so why be counter productive like that

yay event complete these are definitely rewards

actually i'm not sure if they're truly rewarding

last igloo
surreal bear
#

?

last igloo
#

Or at least the reasoning behind those redesigns

surreal bear
#

Ah. Yeah same

autumn flame
last igloo
#

Like, okay this is a vehicle-based game, so yeah some focus may be on the vehicles...

But the focus was never on the designs, it's purely on the gameplay

#

This isn't like Forza, where the cars are the appeal... this is a game where one of the modes has you destroy and steal people's cars

surreal bear
#

Part of my reasoning for it putting me off is that the Machines are not individuals.

#

And it seems like that was misunderstood

autumn flame
last igloo
#

The bigger thing that bothered me was this weird factor into "sales"

#

Nobody buys a game because the power ups looked a certain way or what have you... there is a far bigger thing a game has going for that they need to find for themselves

#

(Also the riders cover 80% of the machines so like the whole deal with the designs is sorta pointless)

Also there's a whole feature you can decorate the cars to your heart's content

For me, like, the variety of different kinds of machines are nice. But the machines themselves aren't really that interesting? Like they're more of a means to an end so you can play the fun racing game or the less fun RNG game

as only Magolor with a bow

I had my usual interdimensional Magolor with bow and formula and vampire star

Ended up winning half the race with vampire and winning the top ride space gamble with formula

i think that top ride would be better if you couldn't win ranked online matches relatively consistently by doing literally nothing

Top Ride would be better if you could get ranked online matches

I don't think I've played actual 8 player races in this mode until now

It's nice that the game makes it a bit more manageable by increasing the size of the entire course a bit

Like what Smash Bros does for 8 player smash

#

It's actually very "8 player smash" core with just trying to keep track of yourself and mashing a bit lol

I think Vampire Star is very good with 8 player Top Ride

Are there "fake" real players online? When I play City Trial online, I often see known names

Even though the game labels them as P (of player), instead of CPU

Yes those are bots

Ah... I think the population is quite low now, right?

That's why I found strange a player with the same name in Dream's Buffet (completely dead online)

# brittle grove Are there "fake" real players online? When I play City Trial online, I often see...

yeah
most of the cpu names are taken from kirby's dream buffet, you can find a list of them here

CPU

The term CPU (short for 'Central Processing Unit') in the context of video games refers to elements (such as characters or enemies) whose behavior is controlled by processes programmed into the game itself. More specifically however, it is used to refer to secondary players who have been set to be controlled by the game itself, rather than any h...

I do match same people often but that’s because 1. It’s around same time 2. Plays same game mode 3. Same rank etc

Also might just be because of the region (Japan/Asia)

#

(And if someone goes straight to next round, and you do the same, you will likely gonna match them again since both of the player goes into the round at same time lol)

#

I doubt KARs online will fully die for while, at least guaranteed to live till November 2026 with events going on

It might be hard to say in 2027, but Japanese community alone can keep the online alive (but mainly city trial) and gonna be difficult to say if you will match all the Japanese player base lol

#

Happy final (about) 12 hours of event, if you haven’t done so, I highly suggest doing it soon

Japan/Asia seem to have it very lucky

#

i still don't get why they removed popular search in the machine market

#

it's straight up just impossible to find the most sold machines of all time now

#

you can search exclusively ones that are frequently being purchased at the current moment which is kinda bad when the game doesn't have nearly as many players

#

AH GREAT EVEN THE THIRD PARTY WEBSITE DOESN'T LET YOU SEARCH BY POPULAR ANYMORE BECAUSE NOTHING CAN BE POPULAR IF THE GAME AS A WHOLE ISN'T POPULAR I GUESS

#

there's literally only 13 machines total in the popular tab

#

so both in-game and on this website it is impossible to find the most popular machines

#

the only thing sakurai has said about the chance is "due to various reasons" so idfk

#

(google translated)

jolly mauve
#

it's because it was 80% the same as most expensive

#

like there was some differences, but ultimately was just super redundant

autumn flame
#

it was

#

but now they are completely mutually exclusive

#

the most sold machines of all time were all made within the first couple months, while the current available tab only shows ones being sold right now

#

i checked and they are all just recent ones

jolly mauve
#

yes, that's what not being redundant is

#

the thing is that popular didn't have a date cutoff anyway

#

so no matter what the most bought machines of all time would still show up

Since there's rarely a situation in which I'd seek out 8 player Top Ride otherwise

Also this definitely helped put into perspective why online matchmaking caps out at 4 players

8 players would be so hellish for ranked play 😭

Alright, I think it's time to get some help on this... does anyone know how to handle the 'Defeat Gigantes in under 1:45' checklist mission?

The closest I've gotten was in a City Trial where I had the crazy luck of a CPU assembling Gigantes while I had more-or-less maxed out a Hydra. Obviously... haven't gotten THAT lucky again. 😔

Getting help is probably your best best, if you can

Yeah I think a lot of people did that one socially, I remember people trying in matchmaking chat a lot near release

I got help in this server, and then the game crashed when we did it
So we did it again the next day iirc

"The "Picture of the Day" featured officially on Air Rider is something I took during development and posted in our team's internal daily reports.
Since it's a game packed with tons of content, I never really ran into any trouble at all... but once the stockpile runs dry, that's the end of it.
From here on out, for the next few days, I think I'll go ahead and add some commentary to past "Pictures of the Day" that I've shared." (Machine Translated)

Unlock the Gigantes stadium event by getting 7 gigantes peices offline.

#

Then play with 1 level 1 CPU with max handicap, and pick the Shadow Star.

#

Keep reloading until the CPU gets gigantes, and then just go at it.

#

I reccomend using a character with an attacking special like Lololo & Lalala or Rocky. If the amount of time ever drops below 15 seconds left, just restart the match as that gurantees the CPU will still be Gigantes.

#

You should be able to get the acheivement in about 5 mniutes.

Dumb question but...
Does Air Riders have split screen multiplayer? Or would my friends have to get the game?

Been seeing mixed answers online.

Yes it does have split screen

if you mean couch co-op

but it does have local gameshare with switch 1 as well

iirc

surreal bear

Yeah it does

faint acorn

yes it supports local co op up to 4 players

gameshare is an option for any switch 1 users tho it is restricted a bit (no road trip)
