The Arena is a Sub-Game debuting in Kirby Super Star, where the requirement is to the defeat the Main Game bosses and mid-bosses encountered in the title it appears in, with a single life, with limited health benefits. It is similar to Boss Endurance modes, but is generally given more importance, and is always required for 100% Completion of the game.
In later titles, completing this mode would unlock The True Arena, which is a similar concept, but instead pits Kirby against all the Extra Game Bosses. Kirby Star Allies introduced The Ultimate Choice, which is similar in concept to The Arena, albeit with an adjustable intensity gauge that increases or decreases the number of bosses and quality of healing items.
Game appearances
Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, the objective of the Arena is to defeat all the bosses from Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, The Great Cave Offensive, Revenge of Meta Knight, and Milky Way Wishes. To make this task easier, Kirby is given five Maxim Tomatoes and five regular tomatoes to replenish his health, but he can only do so between boss battles. He is also given his pick of every normal ability in the game at the beginning, and may choose between two Copy Pedestals in between fights. Beating The Arena once is necessary to unlock the Sound Test in the original and The True Arena in Super Star Ultra.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, The Arena is unlocked after completing the main Story Mode. Like the previous Arena, all of the bosses are encountered in a random order, with the Lor Starcutter, Magolor, and Magolor's 2nd form fought last in that order.

The first seven bosses are fought randomly, while the last three fights are in a set order, like in Return to Dream Land.
