Kirby Air Riders is the next major Switch 2 exclusive that doesn’t just include the seriesโ staple features, but new content from its previous showcases. There’s a lot of support for the revived series, including the upcoming Global Test Ride event.
The Global Test Ride will have three accessible modes: Lessons, Air Ride, and City Trials. The only available courses for the demoโs Air Ride mode are Floria Fields, Waveflow Waters, and Mount Amberfalls.
It’s also possible to link up with friends in the online paddock to hang out in its hospitable area or participate in the City Trial. The paddock can hold up to 32 players in Kirby Air Riders, though the demo version will limit to 16 players. Anyone can try the demo ride through its available online sessions:
