Played some more Kirby Air Riders. Mostly been playing Road Trip, partially just to get it done. It's a neat little single player mode and it's really annoying how you have to clear it multiple times, a single playthrough is about 2 hours. You have to clear it at least twice in order to get the true ending, but I'm gonna have to clear it three times because I neglected to get some ride machines on the first go around. The game doesn't make it clear that you have to do that until after you clear the mode once, and I was avoiding getting new machines because it forces you to switch when you get a new one, so joke's on me I guess. There's branching paths and such but each area isn't really that different so it's mostly just more stuff to check off for completion (the game does keep track of which challenges you've done and they're not random but I doubt the game really like, cares about which ones you've done or not).
