The arrival of Kirby Air Riders has sparked a wave of creativity, with players diving headfirst into the surprisingly robust machine customization mode. This feature allows you to take any unlocked vehicle and personalize it with a vast collection of shapes, stickers, and icons earned through gameplay. We’ve scoured the user-generated content shop to bring you a showcase of the most impressive and imaginative custom machines the community has produced so far.
One of the most popular themes so far involves characters from the Mushroom Kingdom. The sheer volume of Mario-themed designs is impressive, with particular nods due for an excellent Captain Toad creation and a standout Donkey Kong machine.
Unsurprisingly, the blocky world of Minecraft has also made an appearance. You can now find custom machines designed to look like the game’s iconic Creepers, ready to ride the air currents.
Nintendo’s own hardware history is getting plenty of love. Creative builders are using the different machine body types to craft tributes to various consoles. The Wagon Star, for instance, has proven to be a fantastic base for building a remarkably recognizable GameCube.
Another expected but wonderfully executed category is Pokémon. The designs are clean and recognizable, with one particularly sharp Poké Ball-themed machine standing out as a community favorite.
The underwater world of Bikini Bottom is also well-represented. SpongeBob Squarepants and his friends are proving to be a popular muse, with numerous versions of Patrick Star already available, some featuring more minimalist attire than others.
Even The Simpsons, a show with enduring cultural impact, is seeing its characters transformed into rideable machines. You can find Lisa Simpson positioned under an engine and Homer’s head cleverly shaped like a star, showcasing the fun and quirky possibilities.
Of course, with Nintendo keeping a watchful eye on the marketplace, truly outlandish content is still rare. However, a few designs have certainly raised eyebrows and prompted questions.
Accessing and Purchasing Custom Machines
To explore and acquire these community creations for yourself, follow these steps. Navigate to the Connect settings within the game’s main menu. From there, enter the Machine Market where you can choose to list your own design or browse and buy from other players.
Once inside the market, you have several tools to find the perfect machine. You can filter your search by the specific type of machine you own, ensuring you only see compatible designs. Other filters allow you to sort by popularity, price, or even see creations made only by your friends. There is also a handy ID Search function that both buyers and sellers can utilize.
Every machine costs in-game coins, with prices spanning a huge range. You can find everything from incredibly expensive, high-end designs costing 300,000 coins down to incredibly affordable budget options.
Creating Your Own Custom Machines
If you’re feeling inspired to build and sell your own designs, the process is straightforward. Head to the extras menu and select the “My Machine” option. You’ll then pick which of your available vehicles you want to customize before entering the creation suite.
This is where you have access to every accessory, decal, sound effect, and pattern you’ve unlocked through gameplay or purchased from the Miles Shop. The only thing you need to bring is your own creativity and inspiration.
