“Launch off the jump ramp and fly as far as you can!”
— Air Glider Stadium description from Kirby Air RidersAir Glider is a Stadium mode in Kirby Air Ride and Kirby Air Riders, having a chance to appear at the end of City Trial. It tasks the racers to fly as far as possible before hitting the ground.
Overview[edit]
“I sense you'll fly far, farther, faaarther...”
— Prediction for Air Glider in Kirby Air RideAir Glider begins on a runway, with some Dash Panels at the end right before a ramp. From there, the rest of the course is a long path over a wide glass floor. Once contestants leave the ramp, their flight distance will start to be measured (in feet or meters depending on the regional version in Kirby Air Ride and settings in Kirby Air Riders). Once contestants hit the glass floor below, their flight is over, and their distance will be recorded. The racer with the largest distance is the winner. It is possible to retire in this stadium either through a rider's machine being destroyed or by not starting soon enough.
Naturally, Air Ride Machines with good flight capabilities (such as the Winged Star, the Paper Star, or the Dragoon) are preferred for this mode, but speed is also an important factor. More important still is how the machine was patched before entering the stadium.
Trivia[edit]
- In Kirby Air Ride, an exploit exists which allows the player to get the maximum possible distance in this stadium given enough time and patience. Using the Bulk Star, if the player repeatedly hits the A button to charge with the right timing, the star's glide will reset, allowing it to stay aloft indefinitely. Given the nature of this star, it is a very ironic candidate for a glitch like this.
- Unlike High Jump, the stadium ends with an invisible wall at around 4485 feet in Kirby Air Ride.[1] This can only be reached using the Bulk Star exploit or a highly augmented machine.
