Mario Kart World blasted through the finish line this summer. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds rushed up the sales charts this fall. Now, after more than two decades, a sequel to a GameCube classic is launching in time for the holidays. This year been a banner year for such cartoony racing games, but Kirby Air Riders may take the crown with its deep customization and radically simple controls.

The game stays true to the original Air Ride’s minimalism.
