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.

The full screen codes allow you to play online with friends but only show your screen, granting you a full view. You must set fullscreen codes corresponding to your GCN controller port as shown above. A desync will always occur when you connect to players and use this code. Do not be alarmed. This is because players will be using the version of the fullscreen code that will only show their ports screen, causing a false positive desync.
