The Colosseum is a place in Waddle Dee Town that appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The amphitheater is northwest of the center plaza, and its construction is completed once Kirby finishes Wondaria Remains. Kirby can compete in this Boss Endurance Sub-Game by talking to the Commentator Waddle Dee out front, and it is similar to The Arena from past installments. There are a total of three different cups Kirby can compete in, which are unlocked after completing different requirements throughout the game. As each cup is unlocked, the exterior design of the amphitheater modifies. Kirby is not required to enter the Colosseum after signing up, and he can exit the Colosseum via the pause menu at any time after entering. Coming out victorious in all three cups is required for 100% completion.

When Kirby enters the Colosseum, his health is automatically fully restored. Kirby starts each cup and can rest in-between battles in the Colosseum's hypogeum, serving as the rest area like in other boss endurance modes. It contains a limited supply of food and at least one Copy Essence (with the type of food and number of Copy Essences varying based on the cup), as well as a display indicating who will be fought in the next battle and how many battles are left in the cup. A second player can also play alongside Kirby at any point. The order in which most of the bosses and mid-bosses are fought in is random, though each cup has at least one boss always fought at the same point.

Gameplay

The Colosseum has three different difficulties in which Kirby can choose from at the start. The Meta Knight Cup is the easiest and is unlocked alongside the Colosseum. The Ultimate Cup is unlocked after completing Story Mode, and The Ultimate Cup Z is unlocked after completing Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams. An exclusive item is unlocked after completing each cup for the first time: clearing the Meta Knight Cup rewards the Meta Knight Sword blueprint, while the others reward a rare figure each.

Kirby can take in any stock item and Copy Ability he chooses, and amiibo can be used for their extra bonuses. Co-op is also available, with the second player playing as Bandana Waddle Dee. In-between battles, they can use a limited supply of food for healing if needed, and can also pick up Star Coins from chests. Before the final round, an additional food item can be found inside the last chest. High scores and best times are kept for this mode, with higher scores being awarded for more difficult cups. Scores also keep track of when amiibo, items, and/or co-op are used.

New to the boss endurance mode is that when Kirby loses in the Colosseum, he can spend Star Coins to continue and restart from the last battle, but the timer resumes from the time he was defeated. The price starts from 100 Star Coins and then doubles for each subsequent defeat, up to 2000 Star Coins.

Colosseum Cups

The Colosseum has three cups which represent different difficulties. The player health remains constant in each cup, however it varies depending on the game's difficulty.

The following lists information on the boss battles, how many healing items are given, and other factors in each Cup:

List of Bosses
