Free Run is a selectable sub-mode inKirby Air Ride andKirby Air Riders that is available for all main modes of the games, namelyAir Ride,Top Ride, andCity Trial.

City Trial[edit]

Overview[edit]

In Free Run in City Trial, there is no time limit, no items to collect, and no given objective. As such, the timer at the top of the screen counts up rather than down. Using this mode, the player can explore the city with no obstacles, and can also test all of theAir Ride Machines that have been unlocked.

When Free Run is selected as a game-mode, the player is given the option of playing with up to four players total. Unlike the main mode or theStadium,computer players cannot participate in Free Run, and any unlocked vehicle or character can be selected to begin on.

The game begins much like a normal game would, with all players flying in with the vehicle/character they selected. Players all spawn in the center of the city, above the underground where the Air Ride Machines lie. From there, players are free to explore the city and interact with each-other as they would in the main game. Machines are given theirdefault stats (from theAir Ride mode as opposed to -2 on most stats in City Trial's main game).

Kirby Air Ride[edit]

InKirby Air Ride, Kirby can find every standard Air Ride Machine parked in the underground chamber beneath the city center. Included is theFlight Warp Star, which is a special machine which cannot be ridden anywhere else in the game. Each of these machines can be damaged or destroyed, which will cause them to respawn in back in the underground area.

Unlike the rest of City Trial, the player can also choose to play asKing Dedede orMeta Knight in the selection screen prior to starting the game (once they have been unlocked). These characters can then explore the city, though they are unable to mount or dismount any of the other machines. If said characters are to be defeated in any way, they will stay knocked out permanently and may only limp around slowly afterwards.

Finally, once the appropriateChecklist tasks have been met, theDragoon andHydra can also be selected for use in Free Run and will also show up with the other machines in the underground parking area.

Checklist tasks[edit]

The following are all of theChecklist tasks that specifically pertain to Free Run in City Trial:

Kirby Air Riders[edit]

This article or section isunder construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible. Reason: Details being added, anyone can help

The City Trial Free Run is very similar to the one inKirby Air Ride, and the player is able to select any rider they have unlocked and any regular Air Ride Machine (plus the Flight Warp Star), and there are no CPUs available. To use any Legendary machines, they have to be unlocked via theChecklist beforehand; although,Gigantes cannot be used due to its sheer size. Like inKirby Air Ride, machines are found parked inSkyah's underground chamber, but new toKirby Air Riders is the ability to call out any available machine via the pause menu, though if a machine is destroyed during a Free Run session, it becomes unavailable. Selecting "Retry" in the menu places the rider in the underground garage off-machine; any lost or destroyed machines are also restored. When playing Free Run in aPaddock, the ability to call machines via the pause menu, as well as the "Retry" button is not present. It is not possible to complete any Checklist task during Free Run.

Air Ride and Top Ride[edit]

This section isincomplete. You can help WiKirby byexpanding it. Missing overall details of both games

For Air Ride and Top Ride, Free Run entails the player racing across a course indefinitely. The objective is to complete a lap as fast as possible, and as such the game shows the player's best time with the current machine, as well as the time of the previous laps. InKirby Air Ride, legendary machines are unusable in this mode, but all of them (except Gigantes) can be used inKirby Air Riders after unlocking them by completing certain Checklist tasks.
