'''Single-Handed Mode''' is a single player game mode within ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. It plays similarly to the original [[Kirby Fighters]] [[Sub-Game]] and the Single Player Mode in ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', pitting the player in nine subsequent rounds against a varying number of random opponents on mostly random stages, with a battle against [[Shadow Kirby]] in the final round. This mode is unlocked upon completing Chapter 1 of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]], and completing it once on all difficulties (in addition to completing it on Hard or Very Hard with all characters) is required for [[100% completion]] of ''Kirby Fighters 2''.

==Overview==
[[File:KF2 Single-Handed Mode difficulty select.jpg|thumb|250px|Screenshot of a partially-filled difficulty select screen for [[Fighter]] Kirby in Single-Handed Mode.]]
In Single-Handed Mode, the player picks a specific [[Copy Ability]] or other character and plays nine rounds in succession against a varying number of opponents. Unlike in the Story Mode, the player does not have access to a teammate, and unlike in the original Kirby Fighters, they must sometimes battle teams of two or three opponents at once. Due to this, no team-exclusive items appear, and the [[Ghost]] mechanic is disabled. The player also has 240 [[Stamina|HP]] (even as [[King Dedede]]), and is fully restored for every round. Aside from Round 9, the opponents that are faced are randomly selected, though [[King Dedede]] and [[Meta Knight]] cannot appear as opponents.

The objective of this game-mode is to clear all nine rounds as quickly as possible. If the player is defeated, they can restart from the round they last played without limit, but the timer does not reset. Once Hard difficulty has been cleared for the first time, Very Hard difficulty is unlocked.

The following table lists off details about each round. For more information on stage selection, see the table under "Stage appearances":

The player will earn the maximum Clear-Time Conversion score if the game is completed before the time specified in the table above. After that point, the score will start decreasing in increments of ten seconds until the total clear time is 15 minutes, at which point only the minimum score will be awarded for any time past that. For a table listing every possible Clear-Time Conversion score in the game, head to [[Single-Handed Mode/Clear-Time Conversion table|this article]].

==Trivia==
*On Very Hard difficulty, the Secret Songs for every stage are used and opponent Kirbys have a chance to wear [[Costumes|Rare Hats]] in battle. [[Shadow Kirby]]'s battle music from the Final Chapter of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]] is also used when he is fought on this difficulty.
*The following items do not appear in Single-Handed Mode:
**[[Buddy Star Blaster]]
**[[Cheer Pom-Poms]]
**[[Ice Container]]
**[[Zap Weapon]]
