Kirby Air Ride Shift is a Kirby game for the Nintendo GameCube being made by Lemmykoopa24 (t∣b∣c). Unlike the original Kirby Air Ride, you do not race in this game.
Story[]
One fine spring day, Kirby was strolling through the City. The sun was out, the volcano was dormant, and the ocean was calm. Suddenly, the sky became slightly darker. The clouds rolled in, blocking out the sun. Then, from the clouds, 3 bolts of lightning struck all in one spot in the air. From the center, a large ball of electricity formed. It got bigger and bigger. Kirby watched from the ground. Then the ball disappeared and in its place was a figure that much resembled himself, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. He fell from the sky and landed right in front of him. Kirby fell back from the force. Then the figure stood up and looked around, then he spread his wings and took off, soaring at incredible speed. Then he took out his sword and purple lightning blasted up into the sky.
