Good acceleration, good cornering, but a tad slow.

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

Physical Appearance[]

As its name suggests, the Compact Star resembles a smaller Warp Star with compacted points and smaller thrusters on its backside.

General Information[]

It appears in Kirby Air Ride, being only available in City Trial, the mode in which it is the machine the player and his or her opponents will start off with. Players not riding a machine when City Trial ends will compete in the Stadium match in a Compact Star.

It has excellent charging speed, braking, acceleration, and handling, but the second worst top speed (after the Rocket Star) and below average gliding abilities, offense, and weight, as well as the lowest HP in the game.

Strategies[]

It is generally recommended that riders attempt to find a better vehicle in City Trial for the Stadium event, but a Compact Star powered up with Patches is able to provide an all-around passable performance in certain events.

In other games[]

The Compact Star can be drawn by Paint Roller in the Paint Panic sub-game in Kirby: Canvas Curse.

Related Quotes[]

While this machine is slightly slower, it's easy to control. This machine is the first you'll ride in City Trial.
