Episode notes

Over the past two episodes, we've been covering the thriving competitive scene around Kirby Air Ride's City Trial mode--a community of over 11,000 members. This episode is part two of our two-part interview series, and Sean and Bridget continue to speak with our guests drcKARGaming, one of the top Kirby Air Ride players, and Protag, a community leader and developer on updates to the game's competitive mod.

In Act 1, drcKARGaming shares a sort of oral history of the Air Ride community. It's a tale full of classic sports tropes, rivalries, and sometimes dramatic tournament results, so we put it in an act all of its own. Then for Act 2, Protag is back for more talk on the future of competitive Air Ride. As this is part two of a series, if you haven't listened to part one yet, you may want to listen to our previous episode before giving this one a listen.
