'''''Kirby's Air Ride''''' was an unfinished precursor to ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' set to release on the [[Nintendo 64]]. An early version of the game was briefly showcased at E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) in 1996 by [[Nintendo]] as part of their Nintendo 64 line-up. Gameplay footage was also shown in a promotional video which featured the game in a later stage of development. ''Kirby's Air Ride'' was eventually canceled, and then reworked into the 2003 release on the [[Nintendo Gamecube]].

Gameplay footage revealed that the game would function similar to titles like ''[[Nwiki:1080 Snowboarding|1080 Snowboarding]]'', with Kirby and other characters riding down a straight course on [[Warp Star]]s, with the ability to jump off of hills and do flips in the air. It was also apparently possible to crash the Warp Star, collect [[Point Star]]s on the course, dismount and [[Hover]] around on foot, and play splitscreen multiplayer. Also present in later builds was a [[stamina|health bar]] in the lower-left with a portrait of Kirby's face that bore various reactions.
