Kirby Air Ride, But Only The Bad Ones

The last Kirby Air Ride video you guys liked alot, so I'm back, and this time we're goofing around with some of the bad machines. Are they actually bad, or do you guys just have skill issues? Lets find out!

[@kingofcombos]

Man seeing the bulk star just shoot off into orbit needs the ducktales space theme attached

[@GlitchanBlack]

I just played Bastille's Pompeii during that whole scene, and it SURPRISINGLY FIT.

[@bobbob1876]

Erm,,, how dare you put the Wheely Scooter in the thumbnail.

[@EpicDuskk]

You've fallen for my trap

[@Chinshellbuford]

Erm...what the sigma

[@BetaJJ009x]

LMAO

[@TheGreatestTusk]

Time to get 10 morbillion views

[@kchrules775]

With the bulk Star glitch you can go completely out of bounds on city trial. Like not just slightly beyond the barriers from flying off the sky garden, I mean you’ll die while the HUD freaks out

[@Hadaron]

*Clicks on video saying “bad stars”* *Instantly sees Slick Star* How dare you insult my main like that😂

[@EpicDuskk]

I like the slick star! I just know people consider it to be bad, but im a slick star enjoyer i swear lol.

[@OtrTrash]

Honestly, one of the best stars once you understand the gimmick.

[@sorcererCermet]

​@@OtrTrashyep slick star is damn strong

[@Mcmannere]

Kirby Air Ride was peak, I still own it and my gamecube

[@BetaJJ009x]

3:31 26197 FT lmao (I think that's the upper limit without a cheat code to remove the invisible ceiling, good job Nintendo devs lok)

[@thewritegrump]

Seeing the bulk star just fucking SOAR to the heavens was incredible- I'd never seen that glitch before and I grew up with the game! Thanks for showing off some of the lesser used machines and giving me my daily dose of nostalgia. :^)

[@Kisamefishfry]

As far as I'm concerned. The Bulk star is "the lawnmower" and the wagon star is the "Ice cream truck".

[@EpicDuskk]

Im definitely calling it the lawn mower from now on

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

I think the slick star is genuinely very underrated. It's in the upper half of machines, and it's actually one of the more responsive machines to handle, once you get the hang of it. But, it's very much "The Swerve Star but worse" even when it's working well, and it has some genuinely awful events and circumstances. And yeah. Bulk Star is terrible at everything except the flight glitch. It's close to being "fine", but what kills it is how abysmally it turns. I'd also nominate the rocket star for the stinky list. It's... just not good at anything. It can't sustain the speed for long enough, the machine needs to commit to those charges. My other candidate for kinda bad is the Wheelie Bike. It doesn't have the raw speed and brick stats of the Rex Wheelie, or the... strange mechanics of the wheelie scooter, and so is just a vanilla-ish machine except it skids and has meh handling. It's way better than those other losers, but its only merit is being kinda bad instead of critically flawed.

[@EpicDuskk]

I agree Rocket Star is kinda meh. We did play around with it on stream, but unfortuantley with all the tech issues I lost that part of the recording. I wanted this video to be longer, but it is what it is.

[@nuclearcommando9729]

Rocket Star if you max out charges and boosts is bonkers. It insta charges and it lives up to it's name with the speed it hits. It's bad, but can be situationally good.

[@grimreaper5730]

This game was my childhood, glad to see its still getting love, and good content at that!

[@drakordarkstar]

though some machines are better than others, after returning to my copy of kirby air ride i really think every machine is good and usable, none of them are outright bad. in the regular air ride mode though no stat boosts are gonna help you, you REALLY need to master the machines playstyle to use it there, like trying to use formula star on magma flows or machine passage is HELL

[@lackybracky8414]

god the Formula Stars noise at max speed is peak

[@SirGrimly]

"We only play good games around here." Shadow the Hedgehog video when? KEKW

[@raaaaaaayden]

I detest the slick star lol but I love its design! Also your weaving through the blocks on slick star was actually next level. Great vid!

[@jakesharp7945]

Duuuude when you started flying on the first ride and lost your mind had me laughing way too hard

[@mrsonicfan21]

I was a Wagon Star main, with Wheelie Scooter as my secondary.

[@magatsujoji]

I came across your channel around the time you posted the Compact Star only video. This game is one of the best I’ve played, and my mother’s favorite game. Thank you for the videos!

[@EpicDuskk]

Im glad im reaching the Kirby Air Ride fans!

[@OverloadVA]

I've completed the entire grid in city trial a few times, but I have never seen the Bulk Star go that high.

[@alephnole7009]

I always liked that first time with the big engine because of how easy it was to break open the boxes and get lots of upgrades. Also the straight driving pyramid and the pink truck i believe. Its been so long.

[@Mizu_Melon]

Thank you for saying the Slick Star is actually good! :]

[@mariomario761]

I await your ranking on all Damns in Sonic the Hedgehog

[@PhriekshoTV]

Tbh, Slick and Swerve are two of my favorites, despite being opposites

[@healthyminds9279]

I've never heard anyone talk about this, but when I was a kid, I remember discovering a glitch where the Bulk Star can quickly kill somebody on the Hydra Star. You don't spin, but you drive right up against the Hydra Star and keep spamming A. It quickly drops the Hydra's HP and it's pretty much inescapable. Kryptonite against the best battling vehicle! Hopefully I'm not hallucinating this.

[@EpicDuskk]

Ill try it out!

[@NeonZonezCreater]

The rocket star is probably the fastest vehicle when you have the infinite charge boost. 😮

[@zurtur272]

In terms of which stars I used to main in this, I... only really picked the Warp Star. Because most of the other stars didn't click with me, they were too gimmicky for me to give them a function...? So, I just picked the one that's normal and stuck with it. Tho, I gotta say, the CPU at Lv 9 has served as great feedbac for me in how these stars trully control in Air Ride mode. Bulk Star being my favorite after seeing a replay of the CPU just tearing through the tracks while I was struggling to catch up to it.

[@EpicDuskk]

The gimmicky-ness of it is the fun! I love wacky ass vehicles.

[@ActivistVictor]

Dang, never noticed the sky got progressively darker in high jump the higher you webt

[@Miss-Alexis]

This was my first stream of yours! I'd love to see some Luigi's Mansion from you if you can think of any challenges or anything for it. Maybe Luigi's Mansion but you avoid all possible treasure?

[@EpicDuskk]

I love luigis mansion! Ill def plat it again

[@Miss-Alexis]

@@EpicDuskk A man of culture I see! You should definitely cover it here, I'd love to see what you could do with it

[@Magnymbus]

I was obsessed with the dragoon as a kid. To me, Hydra was trash... Because I only ever wanted to fly.

[@ham8426]

I love the bulk star, janky as it is

[@sorcererCermet]

slick star is basically perfect. for me it's a better swerve star

[@ActivistVictor]

Bulk star isn’t actually awful, just need to make sure you have a few boost and charge powerups and it becomes very solid

[@DarkAnomaly]

Ahhh my favourite Gamecube game which I still play so often to this day. I might download the game for Dolphin assuming it's possible ofc and Nintendo haven't taken it down everywhere.

[@GlitchanBlack]

1:26 - Ah yes... gaming.

[@deadly-swordsman]

My favorite wheelie is the Rex it looks so cool

[@adewalejosephe4161]

Scooters is top tier lol

[@omegazeroINFI]

i always wanted to see the top of high jump. anytime i ever tried that as a kid, i always ended up stopping early due to hitting a as i passed one of the stop floors. surprised you managed to skip past em all.

[@Inatervo]

Slick star is my favourite but it certainly doesn't do slopes well

[@deepseamuse]

Sad I couldn't actually catch the livestream, but oh well. Can't be helped if there's a power outage, and at least I can watch this and not have to deal with the technical issues Really good job on editing the intro, btw! Turned out real clean

[@EpicDuskk]

That was actually sodors editing at the start :3 She's been practicing her video editing and shes getting alot better. she makes videos too on www.youtube.com/@sodorart

[@Legendary_dragoon34]

A tierlist would be such a fun video

[@EpicDuskk]

we gonna do it soon

[@daee936]

This is hilarious and I want to say stay awesome and have a good rest of the day

[@deprooespreston3984]

Ngl... I never played Air Ride... I feel like I'm missing out

[@EpicDuskk]

You are! Its such a great game

[@markanthony5322]

It’s one of the greatest games ever made

[@CinnaSwirls]

I would have used the Slick Star if not for the Swerve Star. Swerve Star is so sick.

[@EpicDuskk]

if i become a big time youtuber, im paying someone to make an IRL swerve star, and imma ride that around instead of a car lol.

[@freddywondercat1362]

Why everyone gotta sleep on the bulk star?

[@EpicDuskk]

Lets be honest, if it wasnt for the glitches it wouldn't be good

[@blackhawks696969]

No WAY this guys out here calling the slick star bad

[@EpicDuskk]

Gotta watch the video gamer 😎

[@cinnamoone3553]

yes, i know the slick star is bad. but i still love it so much :3

[@EpicDuskk]

I dont even think its bad, i love it too.

[@austingarrett3334]

If you're playing all the best GameCube games then you gotta try Billy hatcher, gotcha force, and custom robo

[@EpicDuskk]

BIlly Hatcher is a game I've been wanting to do for a while tbh. Im a big Sonic Adventure 2 fan and everyone who loves that game loves Billy Hatcher, and it was made by the same people. Honestly im still expirimenting with my channel. I have so many ideas and games I want to make content for, but I know I gotta pick a direction to focus on for the sake of growth on KZbin. I think Gamecube era games might be it, but idk lol.

[@HYDEinallcaps]

Seconding Custom Robo.

[@Ishaksonn]

why the heck did i hear "major tentacle issues" at 0:18 XD

[@EpicDuskk]

Cuz brainrot lol

[@sodorart]

Great video !

[@Wrench55154]

Now give Kirby AirRide Netplay a try, where you can play the game with other people. City Trial only ofc.

[@Wrench55154]

Also, slick and scooter aren't considered bad vehicles by top players and myself.

[@EpicDuskk]

I have played netplay, I dont like it tbh. The lag was unbearable. Idk if thats my internet or what. Id rather someone organize a kirby air ride meetup lol

[@Wrench55154]

@EpicDuskk The lag really comes down to who you are playing with. 4p across the US might make things a bit difficult. If you are playing with another person and even if they are across the US, then you should be fine. But always increase the minimum buffer for all players (to the same buffer) until your connection is smooth, unless it reaches around 30 buffer. It might also be that you are not using the Slippi build of Dolphin, which makes connecting to people much better. If you're interested, lmk, I can send you links and even a modified version of KAR that most people play today to increase chaos as well as quality of life changes.

[@healthyminds9279]

SLICK STAR FTW!

[@angeldude101]

Why is Wheelie Scooter in the thumbnail? That ride's _broken!_ _Sees Bulk Star._ Never mind, it's clearly not as broken as I thought it was.

[@deathstinger13]

so you mentioned yu're playing all sorts of gamecube games. Are you planning to play PSOe1&2 and PSOe3? And if so, just their offline modes or were you going online via fan servers?

[@EpicDuskk]

Im not huge on RPG games so im not sure tbh. Maybe one day though, I know that game is made by the same people who made Sonic Adventure 2 and I love that game

[@deathstinger13]

@@EpicDuskk fair enough. E1&2 has fanservers you can connect to with either the Broadband or the cheaper Dial-up modem if you do decide to play and want the online experience. Dunno if any ever got E3 working thoguh. Episode 3, if you're wondering, is a standalone game that's a digital card game. Hm...oh, what about Zoids Battle Legends? Either way, thanks for taking the time to reply

[@marcusjohnson4731]

How were you able to start a City Trial in something other than the Compact Star? :0

[@EpicDuskk]

Using the debug menu you can access by modding

[@espurrseyes42]

Urm, how DARE you put that in the thumbnail?!

[@BetaJJ009x]

1:27 What did YOU DO to manage this?! LMAO

[@EpicDuskk]

When going off a ledge, just mash the A button! Getting Glide Down power ups makes it easier because it puts the fly stat into the negative lol

[@christopherdavidson8028]

Requesting Eternal Darkness content 👀 Gamecube gang

[@Fewix_]

Random suggestion: sonic riders stream. I feel like you could somehow make this game really funny

[@EpicDuskk]

I do remember liking that game alot. I plan to do more gamecube games so i might do it!

[@MrJack8700]

Cool vid, where are your reactions always delayed though? Maybe your set up?

[@EpicDuskk]

yeah theres some setting i have to do like every time I launch OBS and i keep forgetting to do it, and i cant change it while im live lol. Gotta put a sticky note on my computer or something

[@BetaJJ009x]

3:07 NO WAY ONG

[@GlitchanBlack]

Keep in mind, I told him about that glitch on stream. Seeing the video now, I can say it led to some very interesting results. XD

[@loading....001]

Slick being bad? Naw, it may be mid as fuck, but BAD?? like- bruh :(

[@EpicDuskk]

Watch the video gamer, I dont think its bad at all :3 but I know the community thinks it is which is why its on the thumbnail

[@Umneriko]

Scooter good

[@BetaJJ009x]

4:55 Uh, debug menu?

[@Miss-Alexis]

The debug menu was used to change the starting vehicle to the one being tested. That's how he started with a Formula Star, for example

[@EpicDuskk]

Yeah I used the debug menu to pick starting machines. Its also really fun to goof around with.

[@BetaJJ009x]

@@EpicDuskk Ah, I never knew such a thing even existed, despite not owning a copy, but have played it before lol

[@Haunter_1616]

the children yearn for more air ride (i am a full grown adult writing this)

[@EpicDuskk]

And more air ride you shall get! I love this game

[@TheGreatMillz]

Absolutely loving the Kirby Air Ride content!

[@EpicDuskk]

Im glad! Its nice to play other games besides sonic adventure lol. I want gamecube games to be my thing on this channel honestly, there are so many great games on this console

[@TheGreatMillz]

@@EpicDuskk Oohhh, I'd like to watch more GameCube stuff. It's a console I'm very fond of!

[@impeachyaspie]

This video is so silly 🫵🏻😮

[@thygamerguy]

Comment bait worked xD scootie forever!

[@KirbyMasterArchives]

Kirby >>>

[@EWOODJ]

7:10 Nice try

[@Ariuss3]

Ok, but the swerve star isn't even good, it can't even turn well.

[@EpicDuskk]

Bro doesnt know about the A button

[@DylanDemarkus]

Play sonic heroes

[@cat1dog_]

I think any of the vehicles can be good if you practice enough. Such a silly video

[@EpicDuskk]

Alright, 1v1 me Formula star only then

[@bombs2848]

Bulk star:

[@Chaocast]

Great video !

[@EpicDuskk]

Ok who are you because clearly you're an imposter. The real chaocast would not leave a comment that doesnt make me laugh 😡
