Kirby Air Riders was introduced in a 45-minute showcase by the charismatic-as-usual Masahiro Sakurai. Hosted by Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai, the new presentation on Kirby Air Riders shows that the developer isn’t reinventing the racer the second time around. That’s not to say that Kirby Air Riders is just a copy of Kirby Air Ride. No, Kirby Air Riders now requires a whopping two buttons to control, a fact that Sakurai seems genuinely sad about. In Kirby Air Ride, Kirby could inhale them to copy their abilities, but this time around, every character has the power to copy abilities.
