I really loved this game. It was pretty much a treasure from the past when I had my Wii. I've been watching a few videos on it lately and it reminded me how much I want this game back! AND HOW ANGRY I AM THAT THERE IS NO SEQUEL OR VIRTUAL CONSOLE OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE SORT. I even tried the Dolphin Emulator and I didn't know how to work 7zip after reading a guide on exactly how to do so and it messed up the Rom, but I'm getting off track. Graphics: The game's graphics were good for its time. 3DS-grade, actually. And let me tell you, that is massively impressive for a game of its time. Okay, sure, I'm mainly talking about the NPC, Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight sprites, but that's just it. Honestly, nobody pays attention to the stage design, but even in that category, HAL did an exceptional job. If we get an HD remake of it, NO sprites need to be changed. Just a few tweaks to the stage design, a new disc, an online mode, maybe some new vehicles, and 5 players including the Wii U gamepad, and you have a game that's possibly better than the original. That's how simply amazing the graphics are (for its time). Sound: Now, the sound for this game was great, not considering the music they used. I didn't exactly like the music in the game, but this isn't just music. This is sound. The sound effects sound... ...realistic? Yeah, realistic. Not too much so, however. Addictiveness: I stated in the beginning how much I wanted a sequel, remake, virtual console, or other excuse to let me play the FULL game or something better. Read the beginning, this section gets a 11/10. Depth: This game has tons of unlockables. The challenge checklist adds tons of replayability and there are more than enough ride selections for Air Ride and plenty of City Trial replayability. Sakurai, presumably the game's main developer, even tried something like this in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. Difficulty: This is more of a family game, it's nothing competitive. It's not too difficult, but I gave it a 4. Why? Because even Youtubers don't know the difference between a normal power up and a "power down." Overall, MAKE ANOTHER KIRBY AIR RIDE OR A VIRTUAL CONSOLE PLEASE!!! I really loved this game. It was pretty much a treasure from the past when I had my Wii.
