BGMania B-Sides #37 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth dives headfirst into the bright skies and high-speed thrill of Kirby Air Riders, Nintendo’s long-awaited return to the cult-favorite racing series, where momentum, mastery, and just a touch of chaos rule the day.
Building on the legacy of Kirby Air Ride while confidently carving its own path, Kirby Air Riders blends accessible arcade racing with surprising depth and a distinct sense of joy. Its soundtrack leans into that identity, bursting with buoyant melodies, kinetic rhythms, and playful arrangements that perfectly capture the rush of flight and the unmistakable charm of the Kirby universe.
