==Overview==
==Rules and gameplay==
Four contestants and a large puck are placed in a rectangular arena. To score a point, a contestant must strike or toss the puck at one of his rivals to knock them out of the arena. When the puck is struck or tossed, it will move very quickly and ricochet off walls, gaining a light streak that represents the col{{ou}}r of the contestant who hit it. It cannot be interrupted until this streak goes away. After enough time has passed, a roulette will appear, selecting a random contestant. The selected contestant will then be worth 3 points if they are knocked out instead of one as usual. Once the target contestant is knocked out, the roulette will select a different one.

When the puck is struck or tossed, it will move very quickly and ricochet off walls, gaining a light streak that represents the color of the contestant who hit it.

The selected contestant will then be worth 3 points if they are knocked out instead of one as usual. Once the target contestant is knocked out, the roulette will select a different one. Contestants who get slammed by the puck are not healed when they return to the arena.


In addition to striking the puck, contestants can also attack each-other. They have [[Vitality]], and can be KO'd as usual, but this does not score a point.

Rules and gameplay[edit]

— Waddle Dee in Kirby Battle Royale

Four contestants and a large puck are placed in a rectangular arena. To score a point, a contestant must strike or toss the puck at one of his rivals to knock them out of the arena. When the puck is struck or tossed, it will move very quickly and ricochet off walls, gaining a light streak that represents the color of the contestant who hit it. It cannot be interrupted until this streak goes away. After 45 seconds have passed, a roulette will appear, selecting a random contestant. The selected contestant will then be worth 3 points if they are knocked out instead of one as usual. Once the target contestant is knocked out, the roulette will select a different one. Contestants who get slammed by the puck are not healed when they return to the arena.

In addition to striking the puck, contestants can also attack each-other. They have health, and can be KO'd as usual, but this does not score a point.
