Kirby Air Riders tech analysis, including frame rate and resolution

Nintendo Everything•November 27, 2025•technology

Key Points:

Kirby Air Riders recently launched on Nintendo Switch and utilizes a new engine called SOL-AVES, targeting a frame rate of 60 FPS and a resolution between 1080p and 1152p when docked.
The game does not use real-time ray tracing; instead, NVIDIA RTX technology is likely employed offline to bake global illumination probes for lighting dynamic objects.
Portable mode features variable resolution, commonly running at 900p but dropping to 720p during intense moments and sometimes reaching 1080p.
HDR implementation is criticized for appearing washed out, and the City Trial mode frequently experiences frame rate drops and reduced animation quality, especially in four-player split-screen multiplayer where frame rates can fall into the 40s
