Speed increases while it's in the air.

The Jet Star is an Air Ride Machine that appears in Kirby Air Ride.

Physical Appearance[]

The Jet Star's appearance and name are based on that of real-world jets. Its sharp steel frame has ice blue plating and its back features a large jet engine.

General Information[]

The Jet Star is known for being able to charge and boost as it glides. Off of ramps, it boosts immediately, reaching speeds surpassing the Formula Star upon launch.

The Jet Star has the best handling in the game, along with above-average acceleration and glide. However, on the ground, its top speed is fairly low, and it charges slowly. Its aerial abilities make up for these flaws, since ramps are a common feature on most courses; the Jet Star can easily keep up with faster machines in a variety of situations.

Strategies[]

The Jet Star's handling makes for easy navigation of complex Air Ride courses and has an above average performance in aerial Stadium events such as Air Glider and Target Flight due to its excellence over ramps.

Related Quotes[]

This machine doesn't have a great deal of surface speed, but when you hit one of the jumps along the course, it'll get an unbelievable burst of speed!
