Sakurai would be involved with the series one last time after his departure, acting as an advisor to the Kirby & the Amazing Mirror developers, but would never return to any position of involvement again, much less the director's seat. Kirby Air Ride was notably the last game in the Kirby series that Sakurai worked on before departing from HAL Laboratories a month after the Japanese release, having been hit with Artist Disillusionment over constant pressure to continue making Kirby sequels. Strange things may happen in the city during the first stage that can help or hinder progress, and unlike Air Ride mode, the HP meter is not optional (though dying during the first stage doesn't disqualify you it just results in losing your machine (and a lot of power-ups)).

When time's up, they are taken to the second stage: a randomly selected final event that can involve an Air Ride race or some other contest, the outcome of which is used to determine the winner. In the first stage, players are given a time limit to explore a large city where they need to find upgrades or replacements for their vehicle. City Trial: A unique mode with two stages.You race on very small tracks that require completing a large number of laps, there are only two machine types that are only differentiated by their control schemes instead of stats, and items are used instead of Copy Abilities. Top Ride: A mode that uses a top-down camera instead of a third-person perspective.Alternatively, turn on the optional HP meter and knock out the competition before they can complete the race. Air Ride: Your standard third-person racing mode (with some mooks running around to steal Copy Abilities from) - just complete the laps and get first place.The controls are also very simple acceleration is automatic, leaving the A button and control stick to be used as the only methods of input for all actions. However, unlike Mario Kart, you do so in the traditional Kirby way: utilizing various Copy Abilities that are obtained by swallowing the enemies that litter most tracks. Kirby Air Ride is somewhat similar to Mario Kart, Nintendo's main Mascot Racer series, being a racing game that allows players to attack one another to impede their rivals' progress. It was the last Kirby game Sakurai worked on before his departure from HAL (and, for a while, Nintendo as a whole). It was developed by HAL Laboratory, directed by Masahiro Sakurai and released in 2003. Kirby's Ready to Ride! Kirby's one and only title on the Nintendo GameCube, Kirby Air Ride (or Kirby's Airride in Japanese) is a multiplayer Mascot Racer that supports up to 4 players.
