Kirby Air Riders - How to Glide and Fly

You can make your character fly by tilting the L-stick down in Kirby Air Riders. Check out more details on the game's flying controls and tips on how to glide in the air longer!

How to Fly Up and Down

In Kirby Air Riders, you can fly in the air by taking off from a ramp. After reaching the end of the ramp, tilt the L-stick downwards to fly up into the air. Flying up slows down your movement.

To fly down, you have to tilt the L-stick upwards. In this case, flying down makes your character dive quickly.

How to Glide and Fly Longer

Tilt the L-Stick Down Slowly

After reaching the maximum tilt angle while flying up, your character will start descending. If you want to glide and stay in the air longer, you can tilt the L-stick down slowly to gradually lift your vehicle up over a longer distance.
