@KaiserGX You can choose any character you have unlocked at the start of the run. Don't think there's a way to change mid-way. You don't actually lose machines when you lose or anything. Once you find one you've got it for good and after each rest area or when you lose and retry you can pick between all the machines you have.
And while the stages aren't randomised, there are at least quite a lot of split paths so you won't just be doing the same ones over and over. There is only so much variety with the different challenges though so a lot of them will feel similar regardless.
Finished Road Trip on Super Hard difficulty. Just a few minutes off finishing it on launch day haha. Highly enjoyed that. I'll go back to clear the two last checklist panels that I missed and then I can focus on playing online.
@squiddu-real I agree that Hard didn't really feel that hard. Super Hard unlocks after you beat it the first time though and felt like a decent enough challenge for me.
@KaiserGX I dunno about more rewards. I just chose the highest because I figured challenging myself if the best way to get better at the game, but it wasn't too bad. You can freely change the difficulty at any time if you need to (except for Super Hard which you're stuck with for the whole run if you pick it, but it's not available for the first playthrough).
Tested out getting some of the online checklist boxes done in a paddock against only CPUs and it works so that's nice. The team relay ones in particular I'm glad I don't need to actually find people to play with to complete.
For me they pulled off something that's very hard to do in a competitive multiplayer game in making a game that's always just really fun regardless of how well I'm doing.
@BenAV Yeah, ive lost nearly every online race ive played so far but they were still so fun. I'm really happy cause I personally didnt care for Mario Kart and I thought CrossWorlds was just ok so getting a racing game i can actually really get into on this console is nice. Other than Yakuza 0 this is really the first switch 2 game im gonna really get into
@Blooper987 Yeah I'm with you there. I put a lot of time into Mario Kart World and tried my best to like it but I actually really hate that game. Would take all my time back if I could. Never even tried the demo for CrossWorlds, just looked very meh to me. This game though is one that I'm going to keep coming back to for a long time as long as I can actually still find opponents.
@scoobdoo It's a very unique game so I couldn't tell you whether you'd like it or not but for me it's honestly been like a real breath of fresh air after Mario Kart from a design perspective.
Gameplay is really fun and I can actually just play the game how I want to online without having to jump through hoops and use Discord servers and whatever. Lots of settings that can be adjusted, lots of customisation, lots of objectives to complete. All the stuff that felt like it was absent from Mario Kart is here.
I like Kirby Air Riders. Road Trip is a nice mode and it is fun to collect stuff and to overcome challenges. The normal difficulty is just right so far. Nice sound and a beautiful scenery.
Hard mode is fun. Just a few times I had to restart a couple matches a couple times cause I was stubborn that I could still do it. There was like maybe 2 that I really did have to go back because I didn't have the best build (Road Trip).
This is already my favorite Switch 2 game. I've only played for a couple of hours but it is one of the most chaotic and outright fun games I've ever played. Haven't even touched Road Trip yet, so excited!
Got it for my birthday and am having an absolute blast. I'm seeing a pretty diverse variety of riders and machines as opposed to there being a "meta" character, which is a good sign for the longevity and balance of the game. The machine shop is a pretty nifty way to incentivize play, too.
Life's more fun when you use your energy on the things you like.
@BenAV Eventually, I just got done getting all the checklist stuff for Road Trip but still did it on Normal hard cause it would have been a pain to do it on the last difficulty. I think I'm do one more road Trip on hardest and at least get to world 3 where I'm missing that level I haven't gotten to yet.
I'd like to bring up in this thread too, how dramatic the difference the reactions are to this game compared to Metroid Prime 4, despite getting similar review numbers.
Which I kinda understand because of expectations but its still funny. Air Ride's in that 3D Sonic/Pokemon Mystery Dungeon space where getting reliably good reviews at all means it might be a masterpiece.
