The Arena
“ | Why can't people stop fighting? When the pink terror raises his fist, even the strong tremble in fear! Every boss you've fought is here! Think you can take them all? | ” | — Super Star Ultra quote |
The Arena is a main game in Kirby Super Star, Kirby Super Star Ultra, and Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where the requirement is to the defeat the bosses encountered in their respective games, with a single life, with limited health benefits.
Game Apperances
Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, the objective of the Arena is to defeat all the bosses from Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, The Great Cave Offensive, Revenge of Meta Knight, and Milky Way Wishes. To make this task easier, Kirby is given five Maxim Tomatoes and five regular tomatoes to replenish his health, but he can only do so between boss battles. He is also given his pick of every normal ability in the game at the beginning, and may choose between two Copy Pedestals in between fights. This is needed to unlock The True Arena. [1]
