Single Race is a type of Stadium Arena in City Trial mode of Kirby Air Ride. It is a single-lap run on any of the Air Ride courses that are available, 8 at the start, 9 after Nebula Belt has been unlocked.

ObjectiveEdit

Air Ride mode, with souped-up machines and damage on. Survive the lap, and finish first.

StrategyEdit

Primary StatisticsEdit

Depends on track, but generally:

• Top Speed
• Turn
• Boost (especially Formula Star, except for Swerve Star)
• Charge (especially Hydra and Rocket Star)
• Glide (except for Hydra)
• Weight (negative) (except for Hydra)

Secondary StatisticsEdit

Any that increases survivability

• HP
• Defense
• Offense (least important, unless going for KO-victory)

As with Air Ride, speed matters more than anything. The actual how-to to run the course as fast as possible changes considerably, as a properly tuned machine can glide for very long distances, and have different turning, charge, and boost attributes than normal.
