Kirby Air Riders[edit]
InKirby Air Riders, Batafire appears inRoad Trip as a crossroads obstacle atMt. Daylight Pass. It appears beforehand to harass the rider by spitting fireballs at them while driving away from one of Mt. Daylight Pass' Rest Stops. Upon reaching the crossroads, it is shown to have caused many fires which prevent any further progress, though this is countered with one of two helpers:
- IfSandman was chosen, several Sandmen pop up to extinguish the fires, granting the rider access toBone-Dry Run.
- IfWater Galboros was chosen, it launches several globs of water to put out the fires, granting the rider access toSilent Side Street.
