Maximizing your speed is the key to winning all of the different modes in Kirby Air Riders. Check out some techniques on how to maximize your speed here!
List of Contents
When there's a curve, you can repeatedly press the B button to pump up and down. This makes your driving during a curve more stable and allows you to pass through it without any issues.
When there's a sharp curve ahead, you can easily drive through it by drifting. After you drift, you also get a Boost Charge right after to pick up your speed!
Hold down the B button to initiate a drift and then release it to get your Boost Charge!

When you fall after a jump, you can do a perfect landing to accelerate forward after you land. Use the L button to tilt your machine and align it parallel to the ground to get a perfect landing. Mastering this will allow you to get a short boost right after landing!
When you defeat an enemy using Quick Spin, you'll get a short speed boost right after. Use the L button and wiggle it from side to side to do a Quick Spin.

While racing, you'll notice a trail of stars that some of your opponents leave behind them. You can use this trail to gain speed and catch up with your opponents.
If you see a trail of stars, make sure to get closer to your opponent since it will boost you faster when you're close to them.

Apart from speed boosting techniques, choosing a Machine with high speed and acceleration is a must for races. Choose a Machine that has a high stat in both, and you're sure to get ahead of the competition.

Just like Machines, Riders have stats of their own and affect their machine's performance. Choose a character that has high speed stats when entering a race and pair it up with a speedy machine to ensure victory!
