Part X: City Trial: Destroy all the dilapidated houses (things that look like bomb shelters), This is best done with Swerve Star or Rex Wheelie.

Part Y: Stadium: Destruction Derby (All); KO enemies over 150 times. Once again, this best done with Swerve Star or Rex Wheelie.

Part Z: Stadium: Kirby Melee (All); KO over 1500 enemies .This is best done with the Swerve Star and the Sword ability.

Use the following trick to unlock Hydra/Dragoon. When the "every box is the same" event is on, if you look at the red boxes, non-spinning reds contain pieces. If you are playing and hear a little ding or some other noise, it indicates that someone else got a piece. Kill all the CPU players to get it. If you get a piece, it seems that your chances will go up to find the rest.

If you look at a regular box and it is not disappearing or going away, break it open to find Hydra pieces.

One of the steps to unlock the Hydra is an easy task. Destroy all of the gray houses that needs to be destroyed. Do not waste your time with a house that has one or two cracks in it; only ones require one or two hits. It is still a good idea to make sure to destroy every cracked house. The other two will need purple boxes to be filled in. To get one, get trampled by Dynablade. Hold A under his feet and do not let go. Wait until you get some damage, or until he flies away. The other thing you can do is to bust all the rocks on the field in Destruction Derby 1,or bust the Star Pole by gliding into the actual star ten times. This fulfills the "Destruction Derby (all); KO enemies over 150 times and Kirby Melee (all); KO over 1500 enemies requirements.

To get Hydra and Dragoon easily, get two parts of one of them (in red boxes). Then, go to the forest and you may see a box sign but it will say it is underground. Go to the tree and down the secret passage. You will see a red box. It contains the final part of the Hydra or Dragoon. Also, you can only find legendary parts there.

Hint: City Trial: Secret flower:
On top of the castle, at the highest point there is a pink flower. It does not do anything, but you can reach it with Modified Star, Dragoon, or by flying off the secret garden.

12. Beat at least 10 enemies total on any course with the Quick Spin maneuver; Prize: Devil Star

13. Beat over 200 enemies total on any course with star shaped bullets; Prize: Rex Wheelie

Hint: Stadium mode bonuses:
Complete the following tasks to unlock the corresponding bonus.

Destruction Derby 3: Get 10 KOs in Destruction Derby 2
Destruction Derby 4: Get 5 KO's in Destruction Derby 3
Destruction Derby 5: Get 10 KO's in Destruction Derby 4
Kirby Melee 2: Kill over 75 enemies in Kirby Melee 1

Hint: Checker Knights: Shortcuts:
On the last part of the course, there is a castle with boosts leading up to it. There is a small indent in the road. You can use it to fly over a sharp U-turn. This is very useful if using Rex Wheelie, but you have to jab sharply to the right after hitting the boost. After that, you can see switches in the road. These are what bring the walls inside the castle up and down. Also, when you see giant rock structures early in the course, you can plow into the front for a quick shortcut. However, this is best done in a heavy car.
Brian F.

Hint: Whispy Woods: Fly high:
With two players, go to the golf place. Have one Kirby go in the hole, and get as close to the other Kirby as possible without leaving the hole. Then, have both players count to three, with the Kirby in the hole starting to jump when the count reaches "two". When you get to go, have the Kirby on the star go in the hole. The other Kirby will fly up very far.

Glitch: Leave level boundary:
In Free Ride City Trial mode, go off the green ramp by the big waterwheel with the flight warpstar. Fly as far and as high you can then wait until you hit a barrier. When you land, you will realize that you hit a second barrier and have landed in the water past the first barrier. If you turn around, you will see a ramp. Go up, and you will be back on the normal field and the ramp that you just went up on will be blocked by a fence. There is another ramp by the volcano, which will also be blocked by a fence after you use it.
dhobrien.

In Free Ride City Trial mode, go to the satellite (the thing in the sky that you get to by going inside the volcano or on top of the volcanic mountain and going inside on the yellow rails). Get on the Flight Warp Star (the orange star like the normal warp star) and jump off towards the nearest edge of land. Go as far as you can until you hit the real wall and fall. You are now outside the original barrier.
Brittany.

Get a very good flying vehicle, like Dragoon. Go on a ramp and fly directly up. You will soon start bumping around. After that, you will start going down. Keep holding Up. If done correctly, you will have left the level boundary.

Glitch: City Trial: Reach end of the gliding stages:
To get to the end of the gliding stages, two players are required. First, select stadium mode on City Trial and choose any one of the gliding stages. Next, one of the players should face a corner instead of launching his machine. Then, launch the other player's machine. Glide as far as you can, then get of your machine. Quickly start running to the end. This will require about twenty minutes. When at the end, notice that you are at the starting line again, and have traveled around the stage's world.

Glitch: Freeze game:
When the random event "Air Ride formation approaching" occurs, hit the formation with your vehicle. The game will freeze.
Sam Lavergne.

Go into City Trial as King Deedee. Go to the water wheel. Go up the wheel repeatedly then go into a hole that will blast you straight up. If done correctly, the game will freeze and there will be two King Deedees facing each other.

Glitch: Break dancing Kirby:
Note: This requires some practice. Get a Sensor Bomb and put it in the underground beneath the city (not the pitfalls). Then, go to the entrance to the underground (the one closest to the star pole that is yellow). Get off your vehicle and go just where it starts to go down. At that location, go left onto the yellow object and slowly slide off were it descends. You will be sliding but not running. Run into the Sensor Bomb and you will blow up spinning on the ground. Note: You may not be able to move.
