Nintendo cancels a planned Halloween event for Kirby Air Riders, which had been scheduled for late October into early November. According to reports, the event is called off after players experienced technical problems during early matches.

Nintendo Life says the event was due to run from 28 October to 4 November, but it was removed following complaints that the game frequently froze during gameplay, disrupting the fast-paced action. Kotaku likewise reports the Halloween content was meant to be themed and “spooky,” but that it kept breaking for players, leading to the cancellation.

Across both outlets, the central point is the same: the event does not go ahead because performance issues—particularly freezes—were reported by players during the event period. Neither outlet cites alternative reasons or changes to other versions of the game in the information provided.
