This simple course is perfect for beginners!

Fantasy Meadows is a fairly straight course with very few hairpin turns. It's best suited for machines with very high top speeds.


— Kirby Air Ride North American instruction booklet, page 36

Fantasy Meadows is the first and simplest course in theAir Ride mode ofKirby Air Ride, also available as an unlockable course inKirby Air Riders. It takes place in sunny grasslands and features a simple mottled loop with mild elevation changes, few interactive elements, a moderate number of enemies, a brief pass through a small cave, and only one particularly tight turn near the end. It is by far the shortest Air Ride course, so the default number of laps run on it is three.

Overview[edit]

The track display of Fantasy Meadows.

Track[edit]

The race course of Fantasy Meadows consists of a stretched and mottled loop which begins near the middle of the left side of the loop and runs in a clockwise manner. The course begins with a brief straight and flat path before crossing a short wooden bridge. From there, the first turn begins around a wide bend, on the left side of which is aDash Panel leading through thick grass onto a ramp, and the right side featuring a shortrail that bends upward at the end, allowing flying machines to get off the ground. From there, the path narrows and become slightly bumpy as the racers approach a cave. One inside, they drop from a short cliff before exiting again out the other side. From there, a tight and narrow turn must be passed before moving through a couple more ramps to reach the finish line and complete a lap.

Setting and enemies[edit]

Fantasy Meadows takes place in an open and sunny grassland with more significant rolling hills and trees off in the distance. A river runs through the course, though it is never directly interacted with. The most prominent structure on the course is a large windmill-like tree featuring blades resembling the wings of a dragonfly. Passing under this tree provides the brief cave area mentioned above.

Perhaps due to the short and compact nature of the course, there are an abundance of enemies littering the track. Like in all courses, their positions vary depending on the lap and mode being played. InKirby Air Ride,Bronto Burts,Scarfys,Cappys, andWaddle Dees both standalone and incarts occupy the outer portions of the track, whilePichikuri can be found floating along the route leading into the cave andSolites can be found within the cave proper. Other enemies that can appear on the track includeSword Knight,Broom Hatter,Heat Phanphan,Balloon Bomber,Walky andNoddy.Gordos will appear on the third lap of the Time Attack mode.

Kirby Air Riders adds a much greater density of enemies onto the track as well as replacing Heat Phanphan withBurnbon and Sword Knight withBlade Knight.
