Single Race

Single Race is a type of Stadium Arena in City Trial mode of Kirby Air Ride. It is a single-lap run on any of the Air Ride courses that are available, 8 at the start, 9 after Nebula Belt has been unlocked.

Objective
Air Ride mode, with souped-up machines and damage on. Survive the lap, and finish first.

Primary Statistics
Depends on track, but generally:
 * [[Image:Dashup.jpg|25px]]Top Speed
 * [[Image:Steeringup.jpg|25px]]Turn
 * [[Image:Purpleup.jpg|25px]]Boost (especially Formula Star, except for Swerve Star)
 * [[Image:Battery.jpg|25px]]Charge (especially Hydra and Rocket Star)
 * [[Image:Glideup.jpg|25px]]Glide (except for Hydra)
 * Negative [[Image:Weightup.jpg|25px]]Weight (except for Hydra)

Secondary Statistics
Any that increases survivability
 * [[Image:Heart.jpg|25px]]HP
 * [[Image:Bluething.jpg|25px]]Defense
 * [[Image:Orange s.jpg|25px]] (least important, unless going for KO-victory)

As with Air Ride, speed matters more than anything. The actual how-to to run the course as fast as possible changes considerably, as a properly tuned machine can glide for very long distances, and have different turning, charge, and boost attributes than normal.
