| |
| {{nihongo|'''Arena Mode'''|アリーナモード|Arīna Mōdo}} is a feature that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It allows players to fight a series of set matches against enemies. It can be played either as a single-player mode or as a multiplayer mode over a wireless connection with up to three participants. As with other events occurring in the [[Mirage Arena]], players appear as [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], or [[Aqua]], wearing their [[Keyblade Armor]], rather than their usual gameplay attire.

| Other players' [[HP]] bars are displayed above the protagonist's own sprite, similar to [[party member]]s, and their names are shown above their characters.

| | '''Joint Struggle''' is the new multiplayer mode featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. You will be able to use wirelessly connect with fellow players to be able to play in multiplayer. In this mode, up to six players can take on the role of Terra, Ventus, or Aqua, the Keyblade warriors wearing their armor from the secret ending of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', rather than their usual gameplay attire. |
|
| |
|
| In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]'' version, Arena Mode is only available in single-player mode, due to the removal of a multiplayer function. The difficulty of the matches has been toned down to accomodate solo fights.
| | The names of who is playing with you appear above their respective character and while fighting their [[Hit Points|HP]] is displayed like someone who is in your Party. |

| ==Mechanics== | | ==Gameplay== |
| In the Hub area, players choose a battle and proceed by standing in the center spot. Each battle has a {{nihongo|'''Risk'''|ランク|Ranku|lit. "Rank"}} rating between 1 and 5 stars, showing the difficulty. | | In a new world called the [[Mirage Arena]], three players can access and engage in battles for cooperative play. The Mirage Arena is a world exclusive to Joint Struggle. |
|
| |
|
| When playing with friends, players can team up when using certain [[Friendship command]]s to deal more damage. If a player's HP drops to 0, other players can revive that player by repeateadly pressing {{button|x}} to fill a gauge and trigger {{nihongo|'''Healing Light'''|ヒールライト|Hīru Raito|lit. "Heal Light"}}.
| | Through this multiplayer mode, items and other bonuses can be transferred between single and multiplayer modes. Unique elements of battle include rescuing friends trapped by the Unversed, and continuously pressing the {{button|c}} button to heal fallen players. Players may customize their displayed name and the color of their armor. At the end of a completed playing session, winning medals are distributed on a results screen. |
|
| |
|
| At the end of a match, players are ranked in three categories: '''Damage''', '''Friendship''', and '''Style''', with 1st place getting 2 points, and 2nd place getting 1 point. The player with the most points is crowned the MVP, and has the number of [[Medals]] earned multiplied by 1.5. The Damage category is determined by which player dealt the most damage to enemies. The Friendship category is determined by which player has used the most [[Group Cure]] or [[Group Esuna]] commands, and has pressed the {{button|x}} button the most during Healing Light. The Style category is determined by which player activated the most [[Command Style]]s and [[Shotlock]]s. In ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX'', the ranking has been replaced with a specific '''Bonus Challenge''' for each match, which multiplies the earned Medals when achieved.
| | The faceshot of Terra, Ven, and Aqua seen in the HP bar is of their helmets. A rating system also appears, showing a level of who stands in what place by displaying differently colored symbols. |
