Struggle is a popular sport in both Twilight Town and [[The Other Twilight Town]], and one of the main forms of recreation. A single-elimination tournament is held in the town every summer, the prize of which is the [["The Struggle" Trophy]], and a chance at a match against the reigning champion for an additional prize. Said reigning champion is the gambler [[Setzer]], who has become very popular with Twilight Town's women. [[Roxas]] and [[Hayner]] are both interested in competing in the tournament that year.

While investigating the missing photographs on the First Day, Roxas and his friends run into [[Seifer]] and his gang. Seifer offers to let their accusation of stealing the photos slide if they get down and beg. Initially, Roxas does crouch to beg, but after hearing Hayner shout his name, he looks up and spots three [[Struggle Bats]] on the floor. Without hesitation, Roxas runs to grab one of the bats and challenges Seifer to a fight. Regardless of who wins the battle, the photograph made of Roxas is then stolen by a [[Dusk]], which the Struggle Bat proves to be a useless weapon against.

Roxas and the [[fake Vivi]] are both moved to second place and compete in a final match against one another. At the end of the match, the virtual town glitches with time apparently stopping, and the fake Vivi reveals itself to be a Dusk in disguise, with more Dusk appearing. Once Roxas eliminates the Dusks with the Keyblade, [[Axel]] appears and approaches him, remarking on his cluelessness. Claiming to "have no time for a Q&A", Axel announces that he will just have to fight Roxas, but hesitates when everything around Roxas begins to distort. Roxas tosses the Keyblade onto the floor in anger, only to have it reappear in his hand. He resigns himself to the battle.

At the end of the match, [[DiZ]] intervenes, the two of them telling Roxas that the other is lying about what is happening. Roxas clutches his head in pain and screams his friend's names, only for townspeople to suddenly unfreeze, and DiZ and Axel to have disappeared. Vivi is standing across from him and slumps as if Roxas had just defeated him in the match, although he is confused as to how he got there. Roxas has apparently won the competition, and is awarded the "The Struggle" Trophy off-screen.

Roxas then gets to take on the champion, Setzer. Setzer asks him to throw the match, mentioning that he will make it worth Roxas's while, but Roxas refuses the deal.

In the real Twilight Town, Seifer apparently won the Struggle tournament, defeated Setzer and became the new champion. He is in possession of the "The Struggle" Trophy, but gives it up willingly after [[Sora]] defeats a group of [[Nobodies]] partway through his journey, declaring him the "strongest guy in Twilight Town".

When Sora returns to Twilight Town near the end of his journey, he can challenge Hayner, then Setzer, and finally Seifer in practice Struggle battles. Sora must defeat each opponent ten times to be able to challenge the next one.

Sora, however, has access to many useful abilities like [[Draw]] and [[Trinity Limit]]. Trinity Limit can be used to immediately knock out all Struggle orbs out of the opponent, at which point they can quickly be collected. When not dazed, the number of orbs the opponent's drop depends on the strength of the attack used on them, so combo finishers can be useful in emptying their stock.
