The Kirby Air Ride Jigsaw Puzzle! (directly translated as Kirby's Airride Jigsaw Puzzle) is a web game in the Kirby series. It was developed and published by Nintendo in 2003 as a promotion for Kirby Air Ride. The game currently remains on the Kirby Air Ride microsite on Nintendo of Japan's website.^[1]

Gameplay

This game is a basic jigsaw puzzle with 36 pieces. After clicking "START!", the player is given the pieces. Pieces must be dragged into the puzzle's frame to be placed. To rotate a piece, the player must click it while holding the Alt key on a Windows computer or the Option key on a Macintosh. Because this control scheme is not obvious, the game's instructions are visible in the lower left-hand corner.

When the puzzle is finished, the lines between the pieces fill in and the Japanese Kirby Air Ride box art is shown. A message then appears—it translates to "The puzzle is complete!"
