— Pause screen description for Single-Handed Mode in Kirby Fighters 2

Single-Handed Mode is a single player game mode within Kirby Fighters 2. It plays similarly to the original Kirby Fighters Sub-Game and the Single Player Mode in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, pitting the player in nine subsequent rounds against a varying number of random opponents on mostly random stages, with a battle against Shadow Kirby in the final round. This mode is unlocked upon completing Chapter 1 of Story Mode: The Destined Rivals, and completing it once on all difficulties (in addition to completing it on Hard or Very Hard with all characters) is required for 100% completion of Kirby Fighters 2.

Overview[edit]

In Single-Handed Mode, the player picks a specific Copy Ability or other character and plays nine rounds in succession against a varying number of opponents. Unlike in the Story Mode, the player does not have access to a teammate, and unlike in the original Kirby Fighters, they must sometimes battle teams of two or three opponents at once. Due to this, no team-exclusive items appear, and the Ghost mechanic is disabled. The player also has 240 HP (even as King Dedede), and is fully restored for every round. Aside from Round 9, the opponents that are faced are randomly selected, though King Dedede and Meta Knight cannot appear as opponents.

The objective of this game-mode is to clear all nine rounds as quickly as possible. If the player is defeated, they can restart from the round they last played without limit, but the timer does not reset. Once Hard difficulty has been cleared for the first time, Very Hard difficulty is unlocked.

The following table lists off details about each round. For more information on stage selection, see the table under "Stage appearances":

Fighters points[edit]

Completing Single-Handed Mode rewards the player with Fighters points depending on the clear conditions, as outlined below:

Fighters Points rewards in Single-Handed Mode  
Difficulty Points per battle won Points for clearing Points for first-time clear Clear-Time Conversion minimum score Clear-Time Conversion maximum score
Easy 100 400 600 50 1200 (under 2 minutes)
Normal 200 800 1500 150 2000 (under 2 minutes)

Very Hard 400 3000 5000 600 4500 (under 3 minutes)

The player will earn the maximum Clear-Time Conversion score if the game is completed before the time specified in the table above. After that point, the score will start decreasing in increments of ten seconds until the total clear time is 15 minutes, at which point only the minimum score will be awarded for any time past that.
