'''Kirby Fighters''' is a [[Sub-Game]] from ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. It is a fighting game where Kirby battles other Kirbys using various [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] until all opponents are defeated. It plays similarly to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, though it uses a traditional health meter and does not have any pits in the stage design. The player may play solo against [[CPU]] opponents, or may use local wireless to play with up to three other players, even if those other players do not have a copy of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''.

Line 15: Line 20:
The mechanics of Kirby Fighters are highly similar in nature to many traditional fighting games. The goal of each round is to deplete the [[Stamina|health bars]] of all other [[Kirby|Kirbys]] by attacking them and using certain items, while conversely blocking attacks and using healing items to avoid the same fate.

Rounds take place on a variety of stages based on various locations throughout the ''Kirby'' series, and fighters can select from a limited amount of [[Copy Ability|copy abilities]] to use. Two primary modes exist - a single-player mode with seven rounds against a variety of computer-controlled opponents, and a multiplayer mode where players using different 3DSes can play individual rounds against each other. the player can also play a single round without any other players in Training Mode.

A regular pink Kirby fights against many CPU-controlled opponents in seven rounds. It is a time attack mode, with four difficulty levels - Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. Each difficulty level increases the difficulty of the CPU opponents that Kirby has to fight.

A regular pink Kirby fights against many CPU-controlled opponents in seven rounds. It is a time attack mode, with four difficulty levels - Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. Each difficulty level increases the difficulty of the CPU opponents that Kirby has to fight. Also noteworthy is the fact that the player can retry every fight if they fail, with the only penalty being that the timer does not reset. Thus, the ultimate goal is to complete this mode in [[Speedrunning|as little time as possible]].


Kirby's opponents go as follows. Note that with the exception of Shadow Kirby, the copy abilities are random.
