Air Ride

Modes

Air Ride's course selection screen There are two main modes in Air Ride: - Start Game: takes players to the course selection screen, where they can choose a course and up to 4 players can join the race. The default rule is a lap race, in which the winner is decided depending on who completes a set amount of laps first, but there is also a timed distance race, where the winner is decided by who races the largest distance in a set amount of time. - Free Run: lets players choose between Time Attack, where they must complete a set amount of laps in the shortest time possible, and Free Run, where they can aim to achieve short individual lap times on any course.
