Farm legendary machine parts Kirby Air Riders

We have a new Kirby Air Riders ready to go focusing on how you can farm Legendary Machine parts.

Anyone looking to 100 percent complete Kirby Air Riders is in for a challenge, because it’s got huge checklists for Air Ride, Top Ride, City Trial, Road Trip, and Online. You’ll need to complete them all in order to earn true 100 percent completion (plus a few other things), and thankfully many of the challenges you’ll need to clear are fairly self-explanatory. That being said, City Trial’s checklist is much more dependent on random luck and field events, meaning it’s probably going to be the one you finish last. Several of the tasks within require that you assemble Legendary Machines, of which there are four. Two of them are Dragoon and Hydra, while the other two are related to the story and are considered spoilers. We’ll be discussing them within, so keep that in mind before you continue.
