KIRBY AIR RIDE NETPLAY SETUP GUIDE

This guide is meant to serve as a reference for getting your NetPlay session set up. This guide holds little relevance to solo sessions. If you run into any issues, your best resource would first be our troubleshooting page, and then the Discord after that.

​Please ensure you are using Ethernet (Wired connection) when playing NetPlay with others. By playing with Wireless connection, you are putting every other player at the mercy of your (potentially unstable) connection.
