A '''patch''' is an item appearing in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', exclusive to [[City Trial]]. A patch can improve a machine's ability, such as gliding or acceleration, by one point. However, when the machine touches a {{gray}} col{{o}}red patch, the corresponding ability is reduced by one point. There is a limit of eighteen points per attribute, however; if {{RealMe}}'s character collects more patches, said stat is no longer improved. Patches can be found almost anywhere, or when a character breaks a blue box. Blue boxes can contain up to four Power-Ups or "Power-Downs". Racers can also steal patches when attacking opponents (specifically HP if the opponent has acquired no patches).

The stats level can have a maximum of 18 or a minimum of -14 as shown in the City Trial results (or the "Pause Screen Power-Ups" if this feature is unlocked through completing [[Checklist (City Trial)|the specific task in City Trial's Checklist]]). However, the internal stats level range are actually from -16 to 16, and unlike [[Air Ride]] and City Trial's [[Stadium]]/[[Free Run]] mode (all internal stats levels are 0), all stats of [[Kirby]]s, except for HP, begin at the internal level of -2 (displayed as 0 in actual gameplay) in City Trial's main mode. Thus, HP level range is still from -16 to 16.<ref>[http://ch.nicovideo.jp/perride/blomaga/ar1111495 ''Kirby Air Ride'' damage mechanics (formula explanation) by Perry (JP)]</ref>

It is possible to bump into [[Fake Patch|fake patch]]es, which closely resemble real patches. These fake patches do a variety of damage to a machine that runs into it. However, fake patches appear only in one event, if events are turned on.

There are also other types of patches, including copy panels and temporary Power-Ups, found in red boxes and green boxes, respectively.

|All Up Patch
|All Up Patch
|Increases all the machine's abilities by 1 point. This rare patch is usually found in events such as the UFO, or very rarely in blue boxes, or simply appearing. There are no fake, or {{gray}}, versions of this patch. Appears multicol{{o}}red. These patches appear normally (by appearing or being found in blue boxes) more often when {{RealMe}} plays the stadium Vs. King Dedede, but they are still rare.
