Checker Knights is one of the many race courses in Kirby Air Ride. Its general appearance is that of the medieval era, housing castles and other structures, as well as a checkerboard-like texture. It is often considered to be the most difficult track in the game, because of its difficult bends, dangerous objects, and constantly altering terrains.
The course begins on a checkered road, suspended above what appears to be a vast expanse of water. The region is surrounded by mountainous barriers and somewhat strange structures, including a castle, all textured with the similar checkerboard pattern. The second half of this stage is submerged below the water, being a dark, smoggy cityscape, with varied neon lights and thin pathways. This stage has the greatest variety of enemies of any course in the game.
