| |
| The '''Formula Star''' is a rideable machine in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. It is best known for possessing the highest maintainable top speed of all non-legendary vehicles in the game.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Appearance==
| | The '''Formula Star''' is an [[Air Ride Machine]] from ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. It is extremely fast, losing only to the [[Dragoon]] and [[Hydra]] at its top speed of 71 mph. |
| This vehicle is relatively large, in comparison to other vehicles. It is a sleek, neon-blue machine, with a floating crescent-shaped spoiler at back, and two white propulsion units at each side. The Formula Star's name is most likely derived from the term "Formula Racing".
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Mechanics== | | ==Facts== |
| The Formula Star has a top speed of 42.86 mph (68.98 km/h), the highest of all machines usable in [[Air Ride]] mode. Both of the two legendary machines in [[City Trial]] can vastly outperform its top speed, however. (The [[Dragoon]] specifically has a slightly slower top speed on the ground, but a faster top speed in the air and a much better acceleration than the Formula Star.) | | The Formula Star is preferably used in the Drag Race game of City Trial. Due to its poor traction, steering, and charge, the Formula Star is not a good choice for beginners. It has the best Top Speed in Air Ride mode, but loses to the Dragoon and Hydra in City Trial. |

| | The Formula Star has appeared in ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''. |
|
| |
|
| It also has decent HP, offense, and defense, and average weight. However, all of its other attributes are abysmal. Its turning and acceleration are terrible; because of this, the vehicle can rarely reach, and maintain, its top speed without crashing into a boundary or obstacle. On top of that, it is absolutely the worst glider in the entire game, in terms of both flight distance and jump height.
| | ==Instruction Booklet Bio== |
| | | "''This machine is incredibly powerful when touching the ground and boasts a very high top speed. When racing this machine, you should try to maintain its top speed!''" |
| These factors render the Formula Star unsuitable for most tracks in Air Ride mode; it can even have difficulty on the relatively straight course that is [[Nebula Belt]]. In City Trial, however, it can be a fearsome contender if the rider holds enough turn and boost [[patch|patches]] to make up for the machine's flaws, and it is almost always a top contender in [[Drag Race]] [[Stadium]]s, regardless of patches.

| ==How to Unlock== | |
| To unlock this machine for use in [[Air Ride]] mode, the player must beat [[Frozen Hillside]]'s [[Time Attack]] in under 03:14:00 with any machine.
| |
| | |
| In [[City Trial]], the Formula 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.

| |
| The Formula Star appears in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', specifically in [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part I]] and [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II|Part II]], where it is ridden by one of the [[Air Riders]]. It is the first Air Ride Machine that [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] commandeers and learns to pilot, though he notably never rides it in [[Fright to the Finish]].
