I never played Kirby's Air Ride, but the Gamre Grumps so I'll just watch them.

I guess the title menus is sorta Sonic Riferish but it mostly reminds me of SSBBrawl. As the game is showing tutorial though I guess I can see where you're getting at, but there is some major differences that set the game apart, such as Air Ride only using analogue stick and / Sonic Riders have a jump, boost and cornering which all require seperate buttons.

Another thing, Sonic Riders had pit stops for refueling which meant you need to recharge your board or else get nerf'd but you get to ride on opponents turbulence in a sweet half-pipe style. I don't know what other games had turbulance riding but I bet they didn't do it like Sonic Riders.

It's why the first Sonic Riders game is my favourate of the Riders series. No silly gravity power or Kinect, I loved turbulance riding and wish that stayed.
