'''Top Ride''' is one of the three game modes in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. It is considerably simpler than the other two, being a short racing game set with an overhead perspective on small courses. Unlike the other two modes, there is no split-screen, instead allowing all players to see their racers on a single screen. As a result, this is the only mode that is not playable over LAN play.
