Free Run

Free Run is a mode is Kirby: Air Ride, allowing infinite time and access to all machines, but mostly disallowing the checklist. The main purpose of Free Run is to just roam around and play around with your friends.

Free Run is used in all three modes: Air Ride, Top Ride and City Trial.

City Trial
When Free Run is selected from the menu, a choice of all the vehicles(including the legendary machines, King Dedede and Meta Knight if you've unlocked them) will appear for you. After selecting a machine and going into the city, you'll notice that the time is increasing instead of decreasing, and all boxes and patches are gone. If you go underground and go into the big room, you'll find all of the machines, lined up and ready to be used. The boxes that can be filled up in Free Run: staying in there for a certain period of time.

Top Ride
When you select Free Run, you'll have a choice of either Time Attack or Free Run. Time Attack has you racing through any of the tracks in five laps, by yourself, for the fastest time. Only the All Max, Speed Max and Speed Reducer are included. With Free Run itself, it's basically Time Attack, but you're continuously doing it. Every time you finish a lap, a ghost appears, taking the exact same path you took. It always does your best time. Many boxes can be checked for getting fast times. If you pause while doing a lap, the time will continue going, so don't pause if you're trying to get the best time.

Air Ride
Like Top Ride, it has two choices: Time Attack and Free Run. The two TAs are the same, although Air Ride requires you to do three laps and all abilities remain. And the two Free Runs are the exact same thing, including a ghost and continuing time while paused.
