Kirby Air Ride offers a wonderful amount of depth for any racing game (realistic, arcade, or otherwise). The consensus among friends has always been City Trial when getting a group together to play Kirby Air Ride, and with no two trials playing out quite the same and plenty of mystery on the map, it's hard to disagree...but my personal favorite is Top Ride. I still haven't found a top-down racer quite as fun. The handling is so smooth and addicting that it makes you want that perfect lap more and more with every turn. The challenge-based system for unlockables is quite interesting as well, adding another layer of content to an already-stacked package. Kirby Air Ride is peak local multiplayer racing from a memorable local multiplayer era.
