— in-game description of the game

Smash Ride is aSub-Game playable inKirby: Squeak Squad andKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. In the former, it can be accessed from the main menu, while in the latter, it is accessible inMerry Magoland and theLor Starcutter (though to play it in the Lor, 90Energy Spheres need to be collected first).

Gameplay[edit]

Kirby faces off againstSpinni, several redSqueakers and/or other players in multiplayer mode while riding on a Smash Star. InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe,Doc andStoro are added as well. The main goal of the game is to gain points by pushing the player's opponents off the stage by ramming the Smash Star into them, which gives the player 1 point if done successfully. InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, pushing Spinni or Doc off the stage awards 2 points, while pushing Storo off awards 3.

The Smash Star can move forward in one direction by sliding the stylus in the desired direction the player wishes to go. By holding the stylus on the Smash Star for a while before moving, the player can stop in place and charge up a Smash Attack, which can be used to push opponents off the stage while boosting forward in one direction. If Spinni, the Squeakers, or any players fall off the stage (whether by being pushed off or by dashing off the stage), they will respawn after a few seconds at their original starting positions. There is a timer of 60 seconds for this Sub-Game, and when it runs out, the player with the most amount of points will be declared the winner on the Rankings screen.

There are three difficulty levels for this Sub-Game. On higher levels, the number of Squeakers will increase, and the opponents may resort to more erratic movements to make it more difficult for the player to stay on the stage without falling. InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Doc will appear starting on level 2 and Storo will appear as an opponent on level 3.
