Checker Knights (Checkknight in Japan) is a course in Kirby Air Ride. It is often considered the most difficult Air Ride course in the game. The secondary music track that plays here is the theme of Green Greens, and the original track, which was actually taken from the anime, later appeared as a song in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

General InformationEdit

Checker Knights is a surreal area located somewhere in Dream Land. The course mainly takes place on a checkerboard with somewhat medieval-styled castles among other structures. about one third of the way through the track, the racecourse goes through a dark city scape illuminated by neon lights and rails which takes place above the clouds. The course has almost every enemy in the game in it, and has many twists and turns.
