While this isn't the best Kirby game Nintendo has thrown at us, but a very fun multiplayer with three fun game modes.

Kirby and his friends star in a racing game for the game cube. Speed through eight fun and exciting race tracks while sucking in monsters and leaving your friends in the dust. This isn't much of a single-player game, but it is very fun to play with friends, especialy if you have the lan connection in so that everyone gets there own television. In every mode, there is something new to unlock for doing special stunts, tricks, and finding hidden places in the stage. Some unlockables are difforent colored Kirby's, new bikes, the eighth stage, and even king DeDeDe and Meta Knight.
This game is reletivaly easy to learn. In fact, you only need the A button, so people shouldn't be excuses "like my button is stuck". You can also absorb many characters to get ability's to knock down you friends.
If you get board racing, you can go to the stadium and play in many fun corses like kirby melee and distruction derby. And if that isnt enough, you can go to an arcade-like racing game with a top-view racing style. Same basic racing, only with shorter and in a more compact racing environment.
This game does get tireing after a while, but it is fun and worth playing try to get some friends involved because with out them it really isnt worth playing at all.
