Samurai Kirby shows [[Kirby]] standing and facing his opponent in a | Samurai Kirby shows [[Kirby]] standing and facing his opponent in a scene lined with bricks and a horizon-level sun. The objective is to draw faster than the opponent, by pressing any button immediately after an exclamation mark signal appears. The round will restart if Kirby draws too early, which gives him a strike. The sub-game ends when Kirby loses to an opponent, or when Kirby gets three strikes in a row. A sign at the lower-right of the screen indicates the time from the signal to the reaction. Kirby uses a different weapon against every opponent, and likewise, every opponent uses their own. | ||

When playing multiplayer in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', player 1 is always Kirby while players 2, 3 and 4 can pick between [[King Dedede]], [[Meta Knight]], [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], or another Kirby. If played with two players, it uses the sideways perspective from the original; if played with three or four, it uses the angled perspective of [[Quick Draw]]. | ||

Unlike in previous versions of Samurai Kirby, if the player keeps retrying the game after Kirby is defeated, the CPU opponents will gradually get slower, in a similar mercy mechanic to bosses in the Main Mode becoming slower and having less health if refought. | |||

Namely | *In the Korean release of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', most of the game's sprites are altered to remove references to Japanese culture. Namely, Kirby and Meta Knight's topknots are removed, the scar on Meta Knight's face is absent, and all other characters use their regular in-game sprites. This is due to South Korea's restrictions on Japanese cultural imports, which were implemented in response to Japan's occupation of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945; most of these restrictions were gradually lifted from 1998 to 2004, but some still remain in place. | ||
