There is a total of 28 playable Machines in Kirby Air Riders. Note that some Machines are exclusive to specific game modes, such as the Legendary Machine Dragoon in City Trial and Gigantes in Road Trip!
List of All Legendary Machines
|
|

The Machines in Kirby Air Riders all accelerate automatically, which means players should only toggle the L-Joystick left or right, depending on the direction they want to go. Toggling the L-stick upward won't make the Machines run faster, but instead triggers a nose-dive action that tilts your Machine downward.
Nose-diving is primarily performed when flying or gliding, so make sure to avoid toggling your L-stick upwards and downwards, especially when you're racing along the tracks!

Boost Charge is a type of maneuver that momentarily decelerates the machine until the B-button is released, after which it gives the machine a temporary speed boost. Performing Boost Charges while accelerating on a straight line will only make your vehicles run slower, so instead, use Boost Charges to perform a quick drift on sharp turns and curves!
|
|

Machines are the vehicles Riders use to compete on different race tracks. All Riders can equip these Machines with zero restrictions, as these vehicles aren't unique to any of the playable characters in the game!
Each vehicles also come with its own unique effects, with some vehicles being reliant on Boost Charge to navigate the race tracks while others have offensive capabilities that allow them to mess with other riders.
List of All Characters and Riders

Because of their different constitutions, the Rider's weight can directly affect the stat of the Machine they're riding, which directly impacts its performance during a race session. Heavier Riders provide a bonus to the Machine's HP, Top Speed, and Flight, while Riders on the lighter side gain a bonus on Boost, Charge, Turn, Grip, and Lift.
Depending on the race tracks and the overall ruleset of the game mode, players must learn how to mix and match their Riders and Machines to easily come out on top!
List of All Power-Ups and Stats

Machines are also extremely customizable, in that you can change the color of their exterior, as well as add stickers and decals on them, to make them more unique! Players can get the alternate colors of Machines by unlocking their duplicates via the Checklist menu, where certain objectives must be met to unlock a reward tile!
Moreover, different Machine components are separated from one another, thereby enabling the ability to customize them per component! Additional customization features include changing the Machine trail, adding exterior Patterns, equipping Machine accessories, and more!

All My Machines can be sold on the Machine Market, where players all over the world can participate. The Machine Market uses the Miles currency, which players can get gradually by completing courses.
All machines successfully sold in the market will have their retail value increase, so make sure to sell a Machine that's most pleasing to the eye!
