Kirby Air Riders has a total of 27 Courses split between two game modes. You will have access to the first nine Courses of Air Ride and eight Top Ride Courses at the start of the game. To jump in and race on the missing 10 Courses, you will need to unlock them via the Course Mode's Checklist challenges.

Like Hats, Characters , and Machines, Courses will require players to complete specific objectives to be unlocked. However, they are one of the unlockables that cannot be purchased with Miles in any of the game's shops. Below is everything you need to know to get racing on all 27 Courses in Kirby Air Ride.
