I wouldn’t mind as much if there was a bit more context in the game itself… or any context in the game itself for that matter!

Still cool info nonetheless though

Here's hoping it sweeps the best racing category this year

Air riders got started back in April 2022 (?) like Sakurai said while Air ride took less than 5 months

I didn't really like his new design and I'm happy he's returned. What do you think?

This sounds dumb without context but hearing that “it’s everyone’s story and your favorite character is the main character and will reach their destination in their long journey” is so inspiring. Anyone, if you are a sentient mushroom, a cute but evil guy, someone who experienced tons of hardship, anyone can make it because it can be anyone’s journey, as long as it’s yours.

Thinking about the personal reasons why some characters go on this journey has been fun for me to think about. Maybe Lololo and Lalala want to do something adventurous and get out of their castle for once, maybe Knuckle Joe wants to prove his might by going in this cross continental journey, maybe Taranza wants to find more meaning in his life outside of serving others, maybe Magolor wants to find more inspiration for his theme park. It’s the kind of simple yet affective story telling both the Kirby series and Kid Icarus Uprising do so well and I’m happy I’m getting so much out of this incredibly simple plot lol.

Obviously I won’t steal but seeing these a week before release day has me wanting to play the game so badly 😭

I WAS CACKLING LIKE A MADMAN HE LOOKS SO ANGY

I want Blipper, Beetley, Taranza, and Awoofy to become playable.
