Like its fellow legendary machine, the [[Dragoon]], the Hydra can normally be brought into existence only by assembling three different parts found throughout [[City Trial]]. These three parts are found only in red boxes in certain locations, as opposed to green or blue boxes. Some of the red boxes containing these parts may be found in spots where boxes are not normally found, such as in the middle of the dilapidated houses. In these spots, the red boxes are guaranteed to hold a machine part. These parts consist of the main body and the two engines. The parts are picked up by touching them, like all collectible items in the game, and each part collected appears in the player's heads-up-display. If a player takes damage while holding machine parts, they may drop one or more of them. The parts are able to appear in roughly half of all city trials.

 

====Mechanics====

[[File:KAR Hydra Screenshot.png|thumb|250px|The Hydra demonstrating its power by destroying a [[Slick Star]] in one hit]]

The Hydra's top speed of 124.86 mph (200.95 km/h) is by far the highest in the game, which is also the game's speed cap, i.e. other machines can't accelerate over this speed even with [[Patch]]es. It also has the highest weight, HP, offense and defense ratings in the game, often to the point where the Health Meter is too large to fit on the screen. On top of that, it has the second fastest acceleration (only to the [[Swerve Star]])<ref>[http://airride.wiki.fc2.com/wiki/%E3%83%8F%E3%82%A4%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9 '''Hydra''' on ''Kirby Air Ride'' Speedrun Wiki (JP)]</ref>, as well as above-average turning and gliding. However, it cannot Boost in the traditional sense, and its sheer speed can make it very difficult to control.

 

====How to Unlock====

*Over the courses of [[Destruction Derby]], the player should K.O. foes over 150 times.

*In City Trial's main mode, the player should destroy all of the dilapidated houses over the course of a single trial.

*Over the courses of [[Kirby Melee]], the player should defeat over 1,500 common enemies.

===''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===

The Hydra X and Y parts appear as a collectible [[treasure]] in [[The Great Cave Offensive]]. They are worth 121,300 G, and act as a replacement for the Nunchuks treasure from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.

 

In ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', the Hydra appears as [[Beetle]] Kirby's unlockable Rare Outfit, replacing his original [[wikipedia:Japanese rhinoceros beetle|Japanese rhinoceros beetle]] hat.

 

In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', the Hydra appears again as one of [[Beetle]] Kirby's unlockable Headgears.

 

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', the Hydra is depicted on a [[Character Treat]], using its artwork from ''Kirby Air Ride''.
