Unlocking All Challenges and Rewards in Kirby Air Ride's City Trial

Master Every Challenge, Reap Every Reward: Your Ultimate City Trial Completion Handbook!

Navigating the City Trial Checklist: Your Path to Completion

The City Trial mode in Kirby Air Ride presents a formidable checklist of 150 missions, each designed to test a player's skill and strategy. Successfully clearing these missions unlocks a wealth of in-game content, including additional characters, powerful machines, and new stadiums. While many objectives are achievable through regular gameplay, some require specific tactics or a touch of good fortune. This guide will help you systematically approach each task.

Strategic Use of Freebie Checkmarks for Tough Missions

Within the extensive City Trial checklist, a few special missions provide "freebie" checkmarks. These allow you to automatically complete any single mission, except for a select few. It's highly recommended to reserve these valuable checkmarks for the most daunting or RNG-dependent challenges. By saving them, you can bypass frustrating obstacles and ensure progress even when the odds are against you.

Optimizing Your Approach: Direct Stadium Play vs. Full City Trial Runs

For certain stadium-based missions, players have the option to enter the stadium directly, bypassing the City Trial exploration phase. This can significantly speed up completion for missions that don't require specific machine upgrades. However, for challenges demanding enhanced machine statistics, a full City Trial run is necessary to gather the required power-ups. Understanding this distinction can help you optimize your time and effort.

Understanding Character Unlocks and Alternative Colors

As you progress through the City Trial missions, you'll naturally unlock various characters. If you already possess a character that is offered as a reward, completing that mission will instead grant you alternate color schemes for that character. This adds another layer of customization and incentive to complete every objective, even if you have a full roster.
