Playable Characters
- Kirby is the only playable character available from the start of the game. He's the only one who can ride different machines and is also the only character with his signature ability to suck up enemies and copy their abilities. Multiple players are represented by different colors of Kirby.
- Meta Knight, Kirby's rival, is an unlockable character. He doesn't ride machines, but instead uses his wings to float above the ground. He controls like a combination of Wing Kirby and Sword Kirby, as he uses sword attacks automatically when he approaches enemies or other players. Because he has high speed and acceleration in the game, he cannot charge.
- King Dedede is also unlockable. He rides a bike similar to the Wheelie Bike machine. Controlling him is almost exactly like using the Wheelie Bike, except he can attack automatically with his hammer, similar to Meta Knight's attack.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“My characters never die screaming in rage. They attempt to pull themselves back together and go on. And thats basically a conservative view of life.”
