Gameplay[]
The game pits Kirbys against each other using different abilities. Players can choose between 12 abilities, two more than the mini-game in Triple Deluxe. However, the two new ones, Bell and Beetle, are only usable if StreetPass for Triple Deluxe is activated. It also adds five new stages, a team battle mode, and an expanded single-player mode complete with boss battles. Beating the single-player mode will unlock hats for Kirby and Shadow Kirby as a playable character. [2]
