They usually hover above the ground and move\n     forward automatically – no need to press any buttons or tilt the left\n     Joy-Con 2 control stick forward to accelerate. Use the left stick to\n     change direction by tilting it left or right. So, what \u003ci\u003edo \u003c\/i\u003ethe\n     buttons do?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBoost\n     Charge: \u003c\/b\u003eBy pressing the B Button, your machine will hit the\n     ground, and you’ll start a Boost Charge and brake. Releasing the button\n     activates a Boost Dash. As Mr. Sakurai explained, this is more than just a\n     speed boost – by tilting the left stick and holding the Boost Charge\n     button through sharp corners, you can perform drift maneuvers, which help\n     you gain even more of a speed advantage.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecials: \u003c\/b\u003eIt\n     takes more than speed and deft maneuvering to get ahead of the\n     competition, however. The Y Button is your “Special button,” and it\n     activates your character’s unique Special move. Attack your rival riders\n     and enemies to fill up your Special Gauge and, once full, unleash your\n     Special! While most characters have one distinct Special, Kirby has four\n     different Special moves – one for each color Kirby you can play as.\n     Combine certain Specials with attack techniques like Quick Spin, which is\n     activated by wiggling the control stick, and you’ll be on your way to\n     victory!\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRiders: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirby\n     Air Riders \u003c\/i\u003eadds a strategic element to its mayhem by adding more\n     importance to your choice of rider. Each rider in the game has their own\n     unique traits which can impact their machine’s performance, including\n     weight, durability, Specials, close range attacks and more. These factors\n     can either give them an advantage or cause more unpredictability during\n     the action depending on the environment you’re in. In fact, this is why\n     Air Ride mode has you select your course \u003ci\u003efirst\u003c\/i\u003e, then the rider\n     and machine you want to use. In addition to the well-balanced pink puff,\n     your roster of riders includes familiar faces from the world of Kirby,\n     like Meta Knight, King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, as well as enemies in\n     the Kirby series like Cappy, Chef Kawasaki, Starman and … well, you’ll\n     just have to play and see who else shows up, won’t you? And to keep you\n     moving forward and keep your opponents on their toes, \u003ci\u003eKirby Air\n     Riders \u003c\/i\u003ealso lets you mix and match riders and machines.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMachines: \u003c\/b\u003eAir\n     Ride machines are built for more than just speed! Each machine, like the\n     riders, can even sustain different amounts of damage. Most machines will\n     also glide through the air if you jump from a ramp or other structure, and\n     you can control your machine by tilting the left stick up or down to\n     ascend or descend. Make a perfect landing and you’ll be rewarded with more\n     speed.

Here, you’ll\n     drive around freely collecting power-ups, attacking opponents to damage\n     (and steal) their machines or cause them to drop power-ups you can then\n     scoop up for yourself, all with the objective of upgrading your machine as\n     much as possible. You start out with a small, weak machine, but through\n     finding power-ups, attacking opponents and swapping to other machines, you\n     can upgrade your ride. There are also random Field Events that occur\n     throughout this phase. Some of these events pop up unexpectedly somewhere\n     on the Skyah map, and you’ll need to hustle to that location to\n     participate. Events include challenges like Short Race, where you’ll race\n     through a sectioned-off area of the map, with power-ups awarded based on\n     how you finish. There is also Dustup Derby, where the goal is to battle\n     your opponents to knock them out and earn more power-ups. Be warned, these\n     events may also involve the appearance of familiar bosses from the world of\n     Kirby, including Kracko and Dyna Blade! This is only the first phase of\n     the City Trial experience, and you’ll have five minutes of intense vehicle\n     action to secure your machine and as many power-ups as you can. After\n     that, it’s on to phase two …\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStadiums: \u003c\/b\u003eTake\n     your powered-up machine to a Stadium and compete to be crowned the winner.\n     Each Stadium includes a different challenge that players will\n     strategically select based on the power-ups you or your opponents have\n     gathered. Some Stadiums will even be recommended for you based on your\n     machine’s stats, in case you have any trouble deciding which one to take\n     on.
