I know that song from Cassette Beast where you are going stuff in shop. 50:52

[@daringdarius5686]

I remember as a kid, my 2 brothers and my cousin would regularly crowd around our tiny CRTV (13"?) and play for hours. We likely have each of us around 4,000 hours in Air Ride. We would regularly get all the achievements, then start over on a 2nd memory card for fun. The first time it took us about 14 months. After that? Maybe every 6 or so we got all the achievements. So... Guess don't underestimate the power of 12-ish year olds going ham

Some people don’t understand the frustration of having 2/3 parts of the dragoon/hydra in city trial and having a friend ram into you and run ALL your pockets 😭😭 then you get no machine for the final race 💔

[@KoopaKrump]

it was me, i was the fiend who jumped you with a firework shadow star. i never found the last box part though. red kirby probably had it.

[@cryguy0000]

It's hard enough just getting the dragoon/hydra, there's a good chance a player with 2 pieces won't even find the 3rd by the end

[@FireworkMaster9]

The whole Free Run bit was so relatable. My brothers and I would do the same thing of making a "home" and putting the different stars into our "garage". So cozy, loved this game growing up

[@mohawkmaster5728]

Fun fact, the "alien invasion" saucer is called a Destroya, and is a world-destroying ship sent by NME in the anime to destroy Pop-Star and Kirby. The first part of the last episodes of the anime was basically an advertisement for Kirby AirRide, showcasing four of the air ride machines (Shadow star, Rocket star, Wing star, and Formula star.) Kirby used one of the Machines to fly into the Destroya's cannon, swallow a bomb, and nuke the thing using the Crash ability

[@hioman]

I always wondered why that happened. Forgot about the anime

[@FrahdChikun]

19:17 Fun fact: the best copy ability for Kirby Melee is actually Plasma. The strat is to get Swerve Star, stay far away from the center of the arena, charge plasma to the 3rd bar, and then fire into a large group of enemies. Sword's also a good ability for the mode 37:52 Another fun fact: this is actually the strategy speedrunners do when going for 100% speedruns for City Trial. 40:10 One more fun fact: if you're having trouble trying to unlock a specific stadium, you can manipulate the RNG by selecting a few stadiums you don't want then set it to "shuffle." It will increase the odds of getting one you don't have yet!

[@autismandgaming4532]

The Bulk star is also useful for Kirby melee

[@firetrooper1135]

35:35 I did this with my little sister back when we were kids. I lived in the volcano, she lived under the forest. I would come over and break all the trees, resulting in her hitting back by hunting me down. Love ya, sis.

It's genuinely a crime he isn't getting more attention. I got really lucky youtube recommended a video to me cause I've consistently loved watching his stuff. It's easy to see he puts tons of effort into his scripts and editing. Definitely deserves way more credit.

[@luvkirby4ever]

My sister and I loved messing around in free mode as kids. We naturally got the 2 hour achievement just because we were doing stupid things like playing hide and seek or trying to destroy a bunch of vehicles. In a similar vein, my sister and I used to play camera mode in melee and snap a bunch of pictures (usually after maxing out the poneball drop % and spamming them in the stadium stage)

[@T.TerryThePenguin-wz5lq]

I had a really shit weekend since my earbuds stopped working, with the only replace ones I have sounding like you threw a walkie-talkie at a wall and my monday was just worse...but seeing not only Kirby Air Ride but specifically City Trial really saved this mess of a day, and the filter you used for the parts where youre just sitting and explaining something to make it look like its on an old TV which you could kill a man with if you chucked that giant cube at him really helped masking how shit my earbuds because of how immersed it made me feel. So thank you Don for not only saving my monday, but also for making me forget I have shitty earbuds for almost an hour.

Your editing is top-tier and your writing is phenomenal. Constantly cracking jokes yet somehow not feeling forced. You're definitely a master of comedy and storytelling.

[@lordvaust5830]

This game was a bright spot in my childhood during a particularly tough period. It’s a lot of fun, a hidden gem, and definitely needs a remake. We got Paper Mario TTYD back, it could happen!

[@riotwryy]

i have no idea who you are but this is an instant subscribe from me, this is my FAVORITE childhood game and your editing is super satisfying. its always awesome to see someone go in depth with these older games that dont get talked about much

Unironically Wheelie scooter is the best in glide missions. Im not sure if its a glitch but I've got several thousand units in distance and have gotten further than when using the dragoon

[@LoreSolver4]

Isn't scooter also the best mechine for speedrunning Airride (the mode)?

[@Shoyoumomo]

This is arguably the best kirby air ride video I've seen on youtube. Youre doing my childhood justice man!

Did you know gaming kirby air ride was originally a n64 game sometime in the early 2000. but eventually the game was moved to the game cube

I'ma be real with you, Mr. The Don. I've been having an awful week and I stumbled upon this video and it made me feel heaps better. Here's a sub and I can't wait to binge all your stuff lmao

[@hiltonherzog7072]

Immediately hearing 2 Mello for the background music for this video is peak. Amazing presentation as always Don.

[@mavi3147]

Silly Ryan Gosling not knowing that the Spin Attack is the most overpowered attack in Air Ride: It makes you invincible against every attack and can lock opponents down to one-shot them. Combined with Spiny power-up, you can defeat Dedede in less than 10 seconds.

[@crasher415]

Ah yes Purple Kirby. The best gay barrista on the spectrum.

[@milessoup9246]

[@ssoccerbuddy18]

Oh man, you playing this game, with Jet Set Radio soundtracks in the background unlocked so many levels of nostalgia... Don the GOAT

[@robbyraymond9047]

I used to do this game with my friends where we would do Free Run and one of us would be Hydra while everyone else would be any other star and it was kinda like a boss fight where the Hydra player was the boss that the others were trying to take out. When the Hydra was defeated, the role of the Hydra pilot would pass to the next person. It was tons of fun back in the day!

[@Astronotter]

This video is actually so good. I also only ever got the full city trial achievement list as a kid. glad to see someone actual go through the pain of getting the other 240 haha.

[@paperwatt]

9:30 a person playing Kirby air ride and making a Tak the power of juju reference is probably the most nostalgic setup ever. But seriously Kirby air ride is so much fun. Play it with friends. Or don't. I'm ordering you but at least you get an option.

[@elijahandplusgamingandmore]

So basically city trial is just smash run from smash for Wii U and 3ds (before smash for Wii U and 3ds)

[@DonShnack]

EXACTLY. It's sick

[@icyshrooms8502]

Having never experienced this game as a kid, I can say with certainly this has been the Kirby's Air Ride of all time.

[@lunastar681]

An 100% completion of my favorite kirby game, absolutely wonderful and have childhood memories of it as well. Really hope this game gets a sequel or ported one day. Also I have never seen someone struggle to get air glider and I got it on like my 5th time playing the game when I was little xD

[@SylasTheShadow]

I'm honestly amazed you didn't go out of bounds during free ride. That was my favorite thing from the minute I found out about it.

[@GumshoeClassic]

19:39 Hey, (maybe?) Fun fact for the men out here. If a pregnancy test comes up positive for you, you probably have testicular cancer! Yeaa...

[@BJGvideos]

Huh... I'm reminded of when the vet told me my late "female" budgie was a male. See, on budgies you can usually tell their sex by the color of the pad above their beaks, where their nostrils are (the "cere"). Females will usually have a brown or pink cere while males tend to have blue. But the vet was also confused because apparently brown ceres in males is usually a sign of testicular cancer or iodine deficiency and my budgie had neither. Also blue budgies will sometimes have a blue cere regardless and it can change through the hormone cycle. Ok I know that was only vaguely related but hey

This dedication makes me wanna het a rom of the game and actually beat it for a change. I was about roughly 85% with all of the modes and never beaten them. Also very impressive but also interesting you used the shadow star against King D. It was tough but its nice you made it, but the way i did it was odd but helpful. I used either the Swerve Star or Wheelie Jr. and grinded up offense and charge and if the spike power up appeared, i spam tf out of the A button. But this is true dedication as a whole...but i pray to god for you when you do Air Ride...its horrible
