Air Ride Adventures (abbreviated as ARA) is a comic created by Poyo Ride and currently managed by Kidsy128. It features various Kirbies having shenanigans in a Quirky Town named Edirria.
This series was originally ran by Poyo Ride, and was made as the Spiritual Successor of The Air Ride Series not even a day after that series had been ditched. A few of the main TARS characters were brought back. However, Poyo Ride got bored with the series soon after, and made one final story before handing the series to Kidsy128. Kidsy made various changes to the cast and overall the series as a whole. Notably has been the most successful of Poyo Ride's series after TARS was cancelled, as it ran the longest and unlike the other comics, it is in the hands of someone else instead of being left behind.

- Artistic License – Linguistics: Hs 04 Chines gets it's name from "Chinese," due to the Chinese symbol on the Wagon Star... which isn't a Chinese symbol, it's a Japanese symbol.
- Artistic License – Religion: The Pacistars claim to be the reincarnation of the Dragoon, while the Star Gang is the reincarnation of the Hydra. That just doesn't work, as this is basically one individual star reincarnating into four stars, the way the Pacistars put it. Justified since this is a myth.
- Call-Back: When the text that states the kirbies don't believe in Dragonism gets to the "Dragoon Highlight Reel", one of the highlights is mentioned as Blue Kirby destroying the dragoon. This incident actually happened to the creator, and was listed on the The Air Ride Series wiki very soon after it happened, being considered a canon TARS event, despite never getting a comic/story.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: You thought the Shadow Star didn't get enough appearances in The Air Ride Series for a "main character." Here, his only major role is in the final story.
- Cloudcuckoolander: The Rex Wheelie and Purple Kirby.
- Expy:
- The Hyper Stars are Ultra Beast expies, even being confirmed by the creator.
- Despite not being a borrowed character, Yellow Kirby is still very similar to White Kirby.
- Foreshadowing: In the Rubbery Item Mystery, The Shadow Star leaves seconds before HS 03 appears. The only other ARA story by Poyo confirms They're and in the same.
- Insistent Terminology: Ziro's a rhombus, not a diamond or a tilted square.
- Lighter and Softer: Much more lighthearted than The Air Ride Series.
- Spiritual Successor: Intended to be this for The Air Ride Series, even borrowing several characters, and most of them remaining the same explanation
- Yellow Kirby is also strikingly similar to White Kirby from that series.
