As its name implies, the Bulk Star is a heavy-weight machine with very high offense (the machine itself, but does not increase the damage output from the rider's [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] or Items) and HP stats, only matchable by [[Rex Wheelie]] but totally outclassed by the Hydra. However, its gliding is very poor, and it cannot [[Boost]] well, as charging works almost completely for fueling. This machine actually has a top speed of 39.15 mph (63.00 km/h) in a single charge, one of the highest of all machines, but it can rarely maintain that speed due to the constant need to slow down and recharge. | As its name implies, the Bulk Star is a heavy-weight machine with very high offense (the machine itself, but does not increase the damage output from the rider's [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] or Items) and HP stats, only matchable by [[Rex Wheelie]] but totally outclassed by the Hydra.

A strange characteristic of the Bulk Star is that on many terrains which cause other machines to decelerate slightly, such as magma, this machine actually accelerates. In addition, by charging very quickly to refuel, its speed can further increase over its normal top speed in a single charge. This can be performed by tapping the A button rapidly in a particular rhythm, which can make the machine glide almost endlessly when used in the air due to a [[glitch]].<ref>[http://airride.wiki.fc2.com/wiki/%E3%83%98%E3%83%93%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC '''Bulk Star''' on ''Kirby Air Ride'' Speedrun Wiki (JP)] | A strange characteristic of the Bulk Star is that on many terrains which cause other machines to decelerate slightly, such as magma, this machine actually accelerates.

Due to its constant need to recharge, this machine is relatively poor for racing, especially for those who are not accustomed to maintaining its fuel. However, its incredible durability and offensive stats make it one of the best in the more battle-centric [[Stadium]]s of [[City Trial]], particularly [[Destruction Derby]]. | Due to its constant need to recharge, this machine is relatively poor for racing, especially for those who are not accustomed to maintaining its fuel.
