The city is a location in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Air Ride.
Games[]
Kirby Air Ride[]
The city is the central location of City Trial. Here, Kirbys compete for Patches and Air Ride Machines preceding a competitive Stadium event. Alternatively, the Kirbys (and potentially King Dedede and/or Meta Knight) can freely roam the city without a timer or upcoming Stadium in Free Run. The city is divided into various locations of different themes.
Locations[]
Castle Hall[]
Castle Hall is located on the northeastern part of the city. Castle Hall is a large castle on a coral-covered beach. Inside Castle Hall is a large closed chamber that occasionally opens up, where it is full of patches. Red Boxes that appear inside of Castle Hall or on its outskirts may contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece. At the very top of Castle Hall, there is a small pink flower that can be found. Castle Hall's rail system connects to Heat Top and City Wharf.
City Wharf[]
City Wharf is located on the eastern part of the city. The City Wharf is between two beaches and is connected to the heart of the city. City Wharf's rail system connects to Castle Hall and Electric Lounge.
Electric Lounge[]
Electric Lounge is located on the southeastern part of the city. The Electric Lounge is made up of 4 floors. The first floor is green and has a super jump ramps that leads to the second floor and two super jump ramps that lead to the fourth. The second floor is blue and has a large hole in the center that leads back to the first floor; it is connected to the rail system and has a super jump ramp that leads to the third floor. The third floor is yellow, also with a hole in the center that leads to the first floor, that has a super jump ramp that leads to the fourth floor. The fourth floor is red and has a large hole in the center that leads to the first floor, as well as a smaller hole that leads back to the second floor. Each floor (excluding the first one) also has boosters on the northern side, that can help the player fly back towards other parts of the city. Red Boxes that appear here may contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece. Electric Lounge's rail system connects to City Wharf and Green Canvas.
Green Canvas[]
Whispy Woods
Whispy Woods shedding a tear
Green Canvas is located on the western and southwestern parts of the city. Green Canvas features a forest and high plains. The forest features many trees that can be destroyed, along with Whispy Woods, who can be attacked up until the point of shedding a tear. There are two pitfalls in the forest area that an be opened that lead to the forest's underground. Under the forest is an area featuring miniatures of some of the city's landmarks, a couple of super jump ramps that lead back to the surface, as well as a passageway leading to the underground parking lot. The high plains are south of the forest and are covered in rocks. There are a couple of golf holes that launch the vehicle high into the air if landed in, as well as a river that leads to a water wheel. Red Boxes that appear in the underground forest or the high plains will always contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece; only Red Boxes can appear in the underground forest. Green Canvas's rail system connects to Electric Lounge and Heat Top.
Heat Top[]
Heat Top is located on the northwestern part of the city. Heat Top features many rocks and two fiery mountains, one being a volcano surrounded in lava that a pair of dragons frequently emerge from, as well as some cliffs. The southern mountain has a spiral that player can drive up to the top; atop the mountain is the rail system, where there is also a grind rail that leads to the inside of the nearby volcano's crater, as well as a bridge that leads to the top of the volcano that sends the player to the garden in the sky. The volcano has three holes at its base that can be opened, two of which are shallow and contain power-up items, while one leads inside the volcano; which of the three holes leads inside the volcano is random for each time City Trial is entered. Inside the volcano is a large super jump ramp that leads to the garden in the sky; there is also a rail that leads to a secret passageway to the underground packing lot via a one-way wall. Red Boxes that appear inside the volcano may contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece, but Red Boxes in the secret passageway will always contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece; only Red Boxes can appear in the secret passageway. Atop Heat Top's cliffs, there is a small white flower that can be found. Heat Top's rail system connects to Green Canvas and Castle Hall.
Garden in the sky[]
The garden in the sky floats above the center of the city. The easiest method to access it is by being launched by the northern volcano in Heat Top. The garden in the sky features a large rotating structure in its center, presumably a sort of flower or tree. Due to its height, going here is a reliable method to get to the UFO during its event.
Urban district[]
The northern half up the city features paved roadways and most of the city's recognizable buildings. It features the eastern, western, and northern entrances into the underground parking lot, the Star Pole, a building with a Copy Chance Wheel with a nearby super jump ramp, as well as most of the rings in the sky.
Dilapidated Houses[]
The south half of the city features cracked pink pavement and many dilapidated houses that can be destroyed. Red Boxes that appear here may contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece. It features the southern entrance to the underground parking lot, the Lighthouse, and is directly connected to Electric Lounge, of which it also features a grind rail to its second floor.
Underground parking lot[]
Beneath the urban district is the underground parking lot. In Free Run, all of the game's Air Ride Machines that aren't in use are parked here. The underground parking lot has four main entrances in the cardinal directions. It can also be entered from Green Canvas's forest's underground passage (and vice versa) by breaking the cracked wall, as well as from Heat Top's volcano's secret passage. Red Boxes that appear here may contain a Legendary Air Ride Machine piece. Aside from the two super jump ramps that lead back to the surface, it has no notable features.
Events[]
Many things happen during City Trial, usually appearing about every 2–5 minutes. Because of this, only one or two events happen in each match.
Some of the events can be detrimental to the players, while others prove to be helpful. The Events that occur are selected randomly.
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Dyna Blade | Dyna Blade usually lands twice, each at one of 5 set locations. In order to attack her, Kirby must fly at her head to obtain power-ups, or throw Gordos or bombs at her. Attacking her eye will give an All power-up, but she will leave right away and drop some patches behind for the player to take. |
| Tac Challenge | Tac appears with a bag of power-ups. The player can ram into him to make him drop power-ups. After being hit enough times (or if no one manages to find him), Tac flies away and the event comes to an abrupt end. The places Tac appears in are random, but he is usually hidden somewhere in the city's underground. |
| Flying Meteor | Meteors will rain on the city. Players that come in contact with the falling meteors are instantly engulfed in flames and take massive damage. Once a meteor lands back away from it because it will have a "blast zone" around it that still causes great damage. However, there are two different outcomes once this event begins; either 8-10 small meteors, or 3-5 large meteors, will fall from the sky, each ending with a huge meteor at the end that drops patches. The final meteor that lands always leave behind a ring of patches, which can sometimes contain an All patch. |
| Huge Pillar | An odd, glowing pillar appears somewhere in the City. When destroyed, it gives out many power-ups, and some Copy Panels such as Bomb and Mike. |
| Rowdy Charge Tank | All Air Ride machines will speed out of control. This makes things like dilapidated houses and Boxes easy to break, but can be lethal if two racers collide. This lasts a very short time; about less than a minute. A good way to avoid speeding out of control is by stopping using charge, or by going on the grind rails, and wait the event out. However, if another player or bot rides the rails, it is highly possible both vehicles will be destroyed on impact. |
| Restoration Area | Three or four big white glowing circles appear randomly in the city. They repair Kirby's machine as long as he is inside one of the circles and repair until the time is up or they use up their energy. |
| Station Fire | All of the rail stations catch fire. It may only last for about a minute but makes it virtually impossible to use the rails for quick travel without getting damaged if the player doesn't have the Invincibility Candy. If a player is grinding a railing at this time, it may be a good idea to charge (or brake with the Wagon Star) so as to stop until the event is over. |
| Same Item | All boxes contain the same item. Red boxes that do not spin contain Legendary Air Ride Machine pieces. |
| The Lighthouse Light Burns | The sun goes down and the light house turns on for about a minute. If Kirby goes under the light house's light, the air ride machine will be slowly repaired. It has no effect on machines without a rider, or machines at full health. |
| Secret Chamber in Castle Hall | The square-shaped box in the Castle Hall opens and reveals six of the same power-up or food. However, the patches will disappear if the player doesn't make it to the Castle Hall in time. |
| Air Ride Formation | An assortment of 5 Air Ride Machines will fly over the city. If a player is quick, and lucky enough, to board one of the Machines, they will not lose any Patches if they have more than 20. The Machines eventually disappear after passing over the entire city-scape, however, by flying away at high speeds. |
| UFO | An immense UFO (which resembles a Destroya) flies over the stage, casting a shadow beneath it. Located on the top of the UFO is an assortment of random patches, including a guaranteed All patch in the center. To get on top of it, one must either go to the Garden in the Sky via the volcano, and then from there fall on the UFO, or simply fly to the top of the UFO. Eventually, the ship reaches the edge of the stage and fades away. |
| Item Bounce | All items and boxes will start to bounce up and down. This has no impact on whatever is inside of them, but it does make them very difficult to smash open, even with the use of an ability. The only items that don't bounce are the Legendary Air Ride Machine parts. This can also be advantageous as the Red Boxes containing the parts do not bounce either. When this event ends, it is common to find an All patch randomly on the map. |
| Dense Fog Today | Thick fog comes and covers the whole area for about a minute, which makes seeing anything over 3 meters ahead very difficult. |
| Fake Power-Ups | When patches appear during this event, some might be fake and look different to normal patches. If the player hits one, that special attribute will go down (not always detrimental), but the air ride machine will take some damage as well. The differences between a real power-up or patch and a fake one are listed below. |
