The Slick Star is a ridable machine in Kirby Air Ride. As its name implies, it is known for having terrible traction, but has a great top speed, gliding ability, and other strengths to make up for it.
AppearanceThe base of the machine appears as a violet, circular disc, upon which the rider sits. The disc is composed of various straight strips of violet material, arranged in a spiralling pattern. Strangely, the areas between each strip are completely transparent. Surrounding the base are three floating pink spheres, which revolve around the base. The faster the vehicle's velocity, the faster the spheres revolve. When the vehicle is charged up, whether on the ground or while airborne, the spheres glow white--and glow brighter the higher the degree of the charge. While the machine is moving, small pink-and-white sparkles trail along behind it. Strangely, the sparkles propel straight out from the rear of the machine, even if the machine itself is sliding backwards. Mechanics Despite its major flaw, the Slick Star excels in various areas. Most notable is its ability to glide long distances; in Air Ride mode, it is only exceeded in this regard by the Winged Star. Aside from that, this machine also has an extremely fast grounded charge and good acceleration, relatively high boost, and an above-average top speed of 27.02 km/h. When used properly, it is often considered to be in the higher tier of machines for all-purpose racing, as its major only real flaw in Air Ride mode is easily overcome, and it has numerous other strengths to rely on as well. In City Trial, it can be somewhat unwieldy to navigate the tight corners of the city itself, as well as some of the stadiums requiring more precision than the Slick Star can offer, but is nonetheless a strong contender in various Stadiums, particularly Air Glider. This vehicle is often compared with the Swerve Star, as the two both have unusual methods of control, but excellent top speed. How to UnlockTo unlock this machine for use in Air Ride mode, the player must beat a two-lap standard race of Checker Knights in under 03:05:00 with any vehicle. In City Trial, the Slick Star can occasionally be found randomly throughout the city, and be mounted like most other air ride machines. It is always available in Free Run as well.
