Kirby Air Ride is a racing video game developed by HAL Laboratory, Inc. and published by Nintendo for the GameCube video game console starring Kirby. It is a spin-off of the Kirby series, instead of an adventure game, it is a racing game.
Rather than racing in cars, Kirby Air Ride has the players and computer-controlled racers ride on Air Ride machines. Kirby Air Ride supports up to four players, and was the first GameCube title to support LAN play using broadband adapters and up to four GameCubes.
[edit] In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Dragoon, one of the legendary machines in the game, appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an item. Much like it was in this game, the player has to collect all 3 of Dragoon's parts before they are able to use it. In addition, the Cracker Launcher seems to be based off a similar item in this game. The songs for the racetracks 'Frozen Hillside' and 'Checker Knights' are in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as well as the track 'The Legendary Air Ride Machine', which plays after Kirby completes a Dragoon or a Hydra. Both songs play in Halberd. As well as this, the tracks that play in Melee's Green Greens and Fountain of Dreams play in Kirby Air Ride.
