As Kirby progresses through the various leagues of the tournament, he and Bandana Waddle Dee must do battle with the clones, and also cross weapons with [[Meta Knight]], who is using the tournament as an opportunity to test his strength. Dedede in the meantime is becoming frustrated with the fact that the clones are not slowing Kirby down. By the time Kirby reaches the Platinum league, the king has had quite enough and challenges Kirby to fight him in the Championship Battle. Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee, of course, manage to win this, with Dedede responding by first forcing Kirby into a 1 on 3 arena fight, then piloting a [[Dededestroyer Z|huge robot]] to squish him when that also fails. | As Kirby progresses through the various leagues of the tournament, he and Bandana Waddle Dee must do battle with the clones, and also cross weapons with [[Meta Knight]], who is using the tournament as an opportunity to test his strength.

Alas, even the most advanced machinery at the king's disposal is not enough to stop Kirby and his unstoppable desire for cake, and the robot is destroyed, along with the Kirby Printer. Having put on quite a show for the spectators of the games, they bring the cake to Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee, despite Dedede's attempts to thwart this outcome. | Alas, even the most advanced machinery at the king's disposal is not enough to stop Kirby and his unstoppable desire for cake, and the robot is destroyed, along with the Kirby Printer, causing all the Kirby clones to disappear.

''Kirby Battle Royale'' | ''Kirby Battle Royale'' was the first game in the ''Kirby'' series to feature native support for [[Online features|online multiplayer]]. The player is asked to input a username upon starting a new save file, which would then be used as their online moniker. | ||
The online mode consisted of a ranked matchmaking system that placed the player in a room with three other players. Before entering the room, the player would choose between three randomly picked battle modes, then choose their ability/character. From there, the contestant was placed in the training room until all four players were connected. Then, one of the battle modes that the players picked was chosen at random, and the game began. Based on how well the player performed, they would be awarded a certain number of points, which could cause them to go up a level. Every time the player leveled up their profile, Battle Coins were awarded. As the player's level increased, however, it would become more and more time-consuming to level up further. Occasionally, there would also be a Team Battle Fever which would last a day long. During a Team Battle Fever, all battles played would be team battles. | |||
With the termination of Nintendo's servers for the Nintendo 3DS on April 8th, 2024, it is no longer officially possible to play Online Battles. | |||
