Prediction
From WiKirby, your independent source of Kirby knowledge.
(Redirected from Prediction Codex)
A prediction is a type of event that can occur during a game of City Trial in Kirby Air Ride and Kirby Air Riders. The prediction is a message that can indicate which Stadium mode the riders are likely going to be sent to after the main City Trial game is over (or in the case of Kirby Air Riders, what one of the four possible voting candidates for the Stadium will be). Predictions happen randomly, just like Field Events, though in Kirby Air Riders, they can also be seen when picking up a Prediction Codex. Each unique Stadium event has its own prediction associated with it, but having that prediction appear on screen does not guarantee that particular stadium event will be played (in other words, it may be false).
In Kirby Air Ride, predictions show the "correct" Stadium 80% of the time, and have a 20% chance to display a random prediction. There are 24 stadium events and the "correct" prediction can be randomly picked, resulting in false predictions appearing roughly 19.16% of the time (1/5 × 23/24 = 0.191667).
In Kirby Air Riders, false predictions are distinguishable in a few ways: the text may briefly flash red when it appears, the text may appear upside-down, the text may flicker for a moment, there may be a split-second "Made you look!" message that appears as the prediction fades out, or there may be a corruption in the prediction's text (the North American and European localizations feature malapropisms while the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions feature similar characters being replaced). Examples include but are not limited to:
- "Things might change in sizzle..." instead of "Things might change in size..."
- "A long, chuckled course lies ahead..." instead of "A long, checkered course lies ahead..."
- "The grind reels form an arc shape..." instead of "The grind rails form an arc shape..."
- 「強さ is パウーのようです…」instead of「強さ is パワーのようです…」 (Maybe strength is true power...). In this case ワ (wa) is replaced with the similar kana ウ (u).
- 「とても たくあんの敵と 戦うことになりそうです…」instead of「とても たくさんの敵と 戦うことになりそうです…」 (Perhaps you'll be fighting numerous enemies...). In this case さ (sa) is replaced with あ (a).
