Kirby Air Riders update 1.3.4 is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, addressing several bugs affecting Stadium events. The patch fixes an issue in Gourmet Race where Gooey could earn more points than intended when collecting food. It also resolves a problem in Kirby Melee that could prevent matches from progressing after certain actions were performed before the start. Several other miscellaneous gameplay fixes are included, although there are no changes to rider or machine performance.
The update also comes with a warning about replay compatibility. Replays from versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.3 may not work with the new patch, while those from version 1.2.0 and earlier are incompatible. Players who want to preserve their recordings should convert them to video files before updating.
