Kirby's Air Ride.
If you take a look at that screenshot on the page I just meantioned you'l notice that this game is most definetly a racing game. But the thing that makes me want to know more about this game is two things:
1. Just look at the track, it looks very thin and looks as though Kirby could ride on the underside of it. Reminds me of F-Zero X on first glances. Also if you look at the tracks map you'll see that most of the track is like this.
2. Look here (http://www.cube-europe.com/screenshot.php?gid=kirby&nr=1) or just press 'Previous' if you have already loaded up the other URL. This is the screenshot that is making me wonder what is going to be so special about this game. As you can see Kirby is looking like Link and has a Sword and all that. Maybe this will be used to hit off other enemys Kirby is racing against? What other weapons will there be?
If you ask me it looks as though this game has 'fun' written all over it. Not sure if it will be a high speed thing or a more whacky thing like Mario Kart but still I think it's gonna turn out great.
Oh and why did I say 'This should be funny'? That was what I said to myself as I looked at the first screenshot. Strange.
Though to be fair, it probably will be most of those things.
This is the first I've seen of this game, and it may well be one to watch out for.

Yeah, erm sure, we'll send one straight over.*

Mayhaps Kirby can change himself into a variety of Nintendo characters (a la Smash Bros) and race around their environments... You mentioned the second screen had a resemblance to F-Zero X... what if that's the Captain Falcon level...?
Hmm... If I am right about this I demand a free copy of the game when it comes out.
