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 Tomato]]es and five regular [[Food|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 Essence]]s in between fights. Beating The Arena once is necessary to unlock the [[Jukebox|Sound Test]] in the original and [[The True Arena]] in ''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]]. At the beginning of the mode Kirby starts in a special room which contains [[Copy Essences]] for every regular [[Copy Ability]] in the game, as well as a [[Warp Star]] to take him to the first battle. In between battles Kirby will be taken to a rest area that contains five Maxim Tomatoes for Kirby to replenish his health should it be depleted, two randomly-determined Copy Essences for Kirby to change his ability and a Warp Star to take him to the next battle.
 
When Kirby eats a Maxim Tomato in the original ''Super Star'' it will simply be gone, but in ''Super Star Ultra'' the Maxim Tomato will be replaced with a regular tomato (which does not heal as much health) the next time Kirby visits the rest area.
 
Beating The Arena once is necessary to unlock the [[Jukebox|Sound Test]] in the original and [[The True Arena]] in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', The Arena is unlocked after completing the main Story Mode. Like the previous Arena, all of the bosses are encountered in a random order, except the [[Lor Starcutter]], [[Magolor]], and Magolor's second form are fought last in that order. Completing this mode the first time allows P1 to be King Dedede, Meta Knight or Bandana Waddle Dee in replays of The Arena.

The Arena in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' is largely the same as the previous two. This time however, treasure chests will appear sometimes between battles, containing [[keychain]]s. Players can also receive one [[Maxim Tomato]] inside an [[Assist Star]] that can be used mid-battle. The first seven bosses are fought randomly, while the last three fights are in a set order, like in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.

Unlike in previous installments, all the bosses and mid-bosses are fought in a set order. Rather than having a limited amount of healing items, an [[Assist Star]] is given after each round, with the contents being a Maxim Tomato after Clanky Woods, Mecha Knight, and President Haltmann, and a cherry after every other round.

[[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|Stickers]] are also provided after the aforementioned bosses, with one sticker after rounds 1, 5 and 9 and two stickers after round 10.

This mode isn't actually called "The Arena" in the Japanese and Korean versions of the game - instead, it is named '''かちぬきボスバトル''' (''Boss Battle Tournament'') and '''보스와 정면승부''' (''Head-to-Head Boss Battles''), respectively. "Boss Battle Tournament" is the Japanese name for [[Boss Endurance]] in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', and ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. "Head-to-Head Boss Battles", likewise, is used to refer to Boss Endurance in the Korean version of ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''. By extension, the same changes apply to [[The True Arena]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version of the series, the descriptions for The Arena consistently give Kirby the alias of '''The Pink Demon''' (ピンクの悪魔). In English, this has been variously translated as "the Pink Wonder", "the pink terror", "the pink hero", and "the mighty pink puffball". ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' is the first game where the title is translated directly from the original phrase.

''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' is the first game where the title is translated directly from the original phrase.
**This is also seen in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as Kirby's title on [[smashwiki:Boxing Ring|Boxing Ring]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', it is translated as "The Pink Puffball" in North American English and "Gritty in Pink" in British English, but it is translated as "The Pink Demon" in both English versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
**This is also seen in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as Kirby's title on the [[smashwiki:Boxing Ring|Boxing Ring]] stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', it is translated as "The Pink Puffball" in North American English and "Gritty in Pink" in British English, but it is translated as "The Pink Demon" in both English versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
**[[Commentator Waddle Dee]] also refers to Kirby with the moniker "The Pink Demon" in the [[Colosseum]] of ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.
**[[Commentator Waddle Dee]] also refers to Kirby with the moniker "The Pink Demon" in the [[Colosseum]] of ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.
*It has been a tradition in each game that features The Arena for the Maxim Tomatoes to be replaced with regular [[Food|Tomatoes]] after being collected, and for [[The True Arena]] (or equivalent difficulty) to feature regular Tomatoes exclusively. In reference to this, Tomatoes only appear in the [[Colosseum]] in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' — they don't appear in the regular stages.
*In ''Kirby Super Star'', King Dedede can be seen sitting on a throne in the background of The Arena.
*Starting in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', the timer disappears during the final boss fight in The Arena and The True Arena. This also applies to [[The Ultimate Choice]] in ''Kirby Star Allies'' and the Colosseum in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. Interestingly, however, this does not apply to [[Star Dream]] in The Arena of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''.
