Kirby Air Riders How to Raise Stats Beyond 27

It is possible to raise all stats to 27 or higher in a Road Trip run in Kirby Air Riders. Check out this guide to learn how to raise all stats to 27 or higher and the rewards for doing so!

How to Raise Stats to 27 or Higher

Restart the Stage

Restart the Stage

When pausing mid-stage, a "Start Over" option will be available. Choosing this option will restart your progress in the current stage but you'll get to keep your current level and stats.

Choose Your Lowest Stat in Rest Areas

Choose Your Lowest Stat in Rest Areas

Each Rest Area is a guaranteed Stat Upgrade. Make sure to choose the stat that is lacking behind the others so it won't take long for you to reach 27 on all stats.

Pass Through the Cannon

Pass Through the Cannon

There will occasionally be a Cannon option when choosing your next challenge. Taking the Cannon will bring you back to your previous challenge, essentially increasing the amount of challenges you can do within a stage.

Get Hit by the Bomb

Get Hit by the Bomb

The Bomb option when choosing your next challenge will damage you but will also grant you two stat upgrades at once, so it is still recommended to choose this option when possible.

Purchase Stat Upgrades in the Shop

Purchase Stat Upgrades in the Shop

The most common way to get Stat Upgrades other than clearing challenges is to purchase them from the Shop. Skills can also be purchased for a low price, potentially making your next challenge a bit easier to clear.

Prioritize Challenges With a Dark Aura

Prioritize Challenges With a Dark Aura

Challenges will sometimes have a dark aura around them, similar to the intruder you'll encounter in the later stages. These challenges are harder but will grant you two stat upgrades at once, so it's recommended to go for them.
