Overview
- The game features 21 playable characters with only Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dee available at the start, and the rest unlocked through checklist tasks.
- Progression hinges on objectives across Air Ride, Top Ride, City Trial, and Road Trip, with a handy + button letting players jump straight into uncleared challenges from the checklist.
- Guides enumerate fixed totals: 27 courses to unlock (nine in Top Ride and the rest in Air Ride), 28 vehicles with only three available initially, and 30 collectible hats among the cosmetics.
- Additional color palettes unlock by repeating a character’s objective, with some alternates offering unique abilities such as Blue Kirby’s Snow Bowl boost.
- Scanning Kirby or Super Smash Bros. amiibo can grant extra character colors, including a reported gray Kirby costume.
