You would think that after a combined one hour and 45 minutes of Kirby Air Riders Directs, I would have no further questions about the unlikely sequel, but no. Another 60 minutes of Air Riders info has now been shared, yet I still don't know much about that dark, brooding character we were shown at the end of the first Direct aside from their name.
We were given a very brief second look at the character who is far too damaged to be a resident of Planet Popstar, yet here we are, I guess. Kirby encounters the new character during Air Riders' Road Trip, which will effectively be its story mode. At the very end of the Direct, it is seemingly confirmed that the new character is called Zorah, and that it is a sentient machine of some sort.
Road Trip was just one of the new details about Kirby Air Riders that Sakurai managed to fill a full hour with. The veteran developer also confirmed the return of Top Ride. Top Ride is a top-down mode that was a part of the original Kirby Air Ride, and it is now confirmed to be coming back in its sequel....
