— Air Glider Stadium description fromKirby Air Riders

Air Glider is aStadium mode inKirby Air Ride andKirby Air Riders, having a chance to appear at the end ofCity Trial. It tasks the racers to fly as far as possible before hitting the ground.

Overview[edit]

A good glide started with Wheelie Scooter.
I sense you'll fly far, farther, faaarther...
— Prediction for Air Glider inKirby Air Ride

Air Glider begins on a runway, with someDash 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). 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.

Naturally,Air Ride Machines with good flight capabilities (such as theWinged Star, thePaper Star, or theDragoon) are preferred for this mode, but speed is also an important factor. More important still is how the machine waspatched before entering the stadium.

Trivia[edit]

The infinite gliding trick being performed.
  • InKirby Air Ride, an exploit exists which allows the player to get the maximum possible distance in this stadium given enough time and patience. Using theBulk 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.
  • UnlikeHigh Jump, the stadium ends with an invisible wall at around 4485 feet inKirby Air Ride.[1] This can only be reached using the Bulk Star exploit or a highly augmented machine.
