Im really hoping HAL reigns Sakurai in and tells him that more games exist beyond Superstar. Its crazy to me that the most he would do in smash is add like a song or two or change a final smash and thats it.

Wasn't Air Ride mostly OC
I know I'm probably an outlier but I don't actually give much of a shit about Kirby outside of Air Ride so I'd prefer if they continued with that over just making the game a "look at this thing you remember bro!!" kind of thing like a lot of games seem to do when they're later in their franchise

>Kirby Air Ride memories
Roleplaying in the limitless City Trial mode was like 90% of my playtime in that game. Mostly pretending different parts of the map were my "house" with my one autistic friend
Plus using my older brother's save file so i could use the legendary vehicles as much as I wanted - fighting Dyna Bird with a Hydra was cool as hell

I understand, but disagree. Save the references for Smash 6

>vehicles
rex wheelie and normal wheelie need reworks
more vehicles/reworked vehicles so they scale better with different stats
wagon benefits from boost as much as top speed for increasing its speed, so id like to see for example a vehicle that splits some of its speed increase with offense if its an offensively-based vehicle

i actually wouldnt be surprised if sakurai makes a mechanic where top speed is removed/nerfed and instead your vehicle increases in speed very slightly for each patch obtained
so the game isnt so top speed leaned in city trial

>maps
id like a city trial map where there are more patches/benefits locked behind areas that require certain stats to acquire
like how the volcano has caverns you can break to enter, id like to see areas of the map that can only be accessed once you have enough glide/offense/boost/turn etc
not a 'hard' threshold like a gate with a number and a patch symbol next to it, but for example with turn some sort of terrain that requires very quick turning to enter with any sort of speed

The music for air ride was made for the anime in mind (which sakurai was in charge of) and the game is full of references to Adventure and Superstar (games he made).

It wouldnt hurt to acknowledge better games in the series like Robobot.

You know damn well it's going to be just Kirby, Dedede and Meta Knight. MAYBE Marx.

I know part of the game was sucking up guys for powerups so you just play as Kirby but I'd like to see this new Air Riders have more actual characters besides Dedede and MK

honestly I can see them ditching that since is so forgettable and adopt just basic elements that other characters can imbue themselves with like star allies with how every friend can have a fire, water, wind, ice version of themselves and what not

though I don't see that happening after dream buffet, but still plausible nevertheless

what are the chances we don't get one big map and they use some battle royale mechanic to limit the area

>>713201584
I don't care about anything Kirby in Air Ride(ers) they could turn it into a new IP for all I care for. Hopefully they don't turn it into another crossover game though

we only need the shrinking onions zone if we get a battle royale mode
you need a timer for the original gameplay formula of
>gather stats here for x time
>bring stats and vehicle into minigame there

fights dont need to be forced if the endgame in the city isnt king of the hill
lets people play different styles during city trial too

but i would like a battle royale mode too

Since the first Air Ride, Sakurai games usually have some sort of challenges. No sense why it wouldn't be included

How many players will online City Trial have? I'm hoping for a lot.

I'm also hoping for multiple maps for the mode.

thats something i hadnt thought of before, i was just thinking four but i think eight to twelve would be fine
there would definitely be a lot of early match fighting though and the map would have to be a decent bit bigger so that item spawns wouldnt be too infrequent

prob eight would be best for a map like normal city trial, just have increased item spawns
anything higher and i think youd need a bigger map

You might not know this, but I got this game (along with Mario Party 4) with my Gamecube.
You may not care, but I do.
>>713204491
Probably gonna be around 8. 12 at max, but that might be a bit much.

multiple city trial maps
best of 3 mode where after a trial you keep your air ride and collect more patches on a different map then do another trial ect ect

i think more than 12 will be too chaotic and less than 6 itโ€™s too little chaos, so my guess is either 10 or 12

I think the player count could be higher if the map was bigger. I think they could easily do 16 and have multiple maps, each around double the original's size.

I feel like that could work in a reworked Top Ride. That uses actual items anyway, it would make sense for that to have multiple characters.
