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>

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 Template:Gray colTemplate:Ored Patch, the corresponding ability is reduced by one point. There is a limit of eighteen points per attribute, however; if the unknown reader'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 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 Kirbys, 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.[1]

It is possible to bump into Fake Patches, 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.

List of Patches

Permanent Patches

Below is a table that includes all possible patches which provide a lasting enhancement to one or more stats:

Picture Name Description
HeartPatchKAR.png HP Patch Increases the machine's HP level. There is no fake, or Template:Gray, version of this Patch. Any HP Patches found in blue boxes is just one Patch instead of 2 or more, unless an event occurs.
OffensePatchKAR.png Offense Patch Increases the machine's offensive capabilities, which includes collision damage, Quick Spin, and damage output of items and abilities.
ChargeKar.png Charge Patch Increases the machine's charging rate, allowing it to build up boost power faster.
DefenseKAR.png Defense Patch Increases the machine's defensive capabilities, reducing all forms of damage taken.
File:TurnKar.png Turn Patch Increases the machine's handling. May be a detriment if too many are collected.
File:TopSpeedKar.png Top Speed Patch Increases the machine's top speed. May be a detriment if too many are collected.
KARBoost.png Boost Patch Increases the machine's boosting power after a charge-up. Also increases acceleration (The Japanese term for the Boost stat is actually カソク acceleration).
File:WeightKar.png Weight Patch Increases the machine's weight, preventing sliding during a charge. Also helps the machine fare better during collisions. The higher Weight level the machine has, the less damage it takes, and vice versa.[2]
File:GlideKar.png Glide Patch Increases the machine's gliding capabilities. Increases the jump height of machines which cannot glide. The higher Glide level the machine has, the more damage it takes, and vice versa.[3]
File:AllupKar.png 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 Template:Gray, versions of this Patch. Appears multicolTemplate:Ored. These Patches appear normally (by appearing or being found in blue boxes) more often when the unknown reader plays the stadium Vs. King Dedede, but they are still rare.

Temporary Patches

There are also quick fix items that temporarily boost a machine's ability (these Patches can be found only in green boxes):

Picture Name Description
AttackUpKAR.png Offense Temporarily boosts the machine's offensive capabilities.
DefenseupKAR.png Defense Temporarily boosts the machine's defensive and speed capabilities.
File:Speeduppatch.png Speed Temporarily boosts the machine's top speed.
