Apple Scramble is one of the ten battle types inKirby Battle Royale, and one of three that can be played in thedemo version of the game (the others beingBattle Arena andCrazy Theater). It is one of the first modes that is shown to the player, and involves two teams competing to see which can collect the mostApples before time runs out.

Rules and gameplay[edit]

The game takes place in a (usually) rectangular arena, populated by twoMini Whispy Woods in the center, and a hatch and lever for each team somewhere in the periphery. Arenas may also contain walls, steps, bramble pits, andCannons.

The objective for each team is to collect apples that grow in the canopies of the Mini Whispy Woods by attacking them, then bringing the apples to their hatch, and depositing them by pulling the lever to open the hatch. The score for each team is directly proportional to how many apples they managed to drop down their hatch during the round (though golden apples are worth 5 points each). The team with the highest score at the end of the round wins.

Once contestants knock apples off of a Mini Whispy Woods, they have to pick them up and carry them to the hatch. Contestants can carry up to 20 apples at a time, stacked on top of each-other. While carrying apples, a contestant cannot perform usual attacks, orhover. They can, however, toss the apples forward, which can harm an opponent who is not defending. If a contestant carrying apples is attacked with a move of sufficient strength, they will drop their apples, giving the opponent an opportunity to steal them. If a contestant is hit too many times, they will be KO'd and taken out of the arena temporarily. This can also happen if a contestant is standing on a hatch when it opens.

Stages[edit]

There are five stages available for Apple Scramble (counting the tutorial stage inDedede's Cake Royale). They are as follows:

Stages in Apple Scramble
Name	Intro	Gameplay	Description
Starter Forest			A wide rectangular arena with the hatches and lever separated from each-other and the rest of the area by fences. The Mini Whispy Woods can be found at the top close to each-other.
Double-Cross Forest			Hatches are mostly fenced off, with the levers to open them on the other side of a bramble pit, making them hard to access. Cannons appear in this arena during the last minute of the match, which fire directly toward the hatches. There is an alternate version of this map in the second Platinum League battle forDedede's Cake Royale with additional fencing.
Bramble Forest			Mini Whispy Woods and the levers occupy the middle of the arena, with the hatches on the periphery along a long path. A bramble pit can be crossed to make the journey to the hatch shorter. In the Cake Royale, this arena is only used for Platinum League battle 11.
Fenced Forest			Mini Whispy Woods and hatches are close together, but the levers are located on the other side of a fence. Cannons appear roughly 15 seconds into the game, which are the only means of transport between the two areas. In the Cake Royale, this stage is only used for Silver League battle 11.
Tutorial			This stage only appears in the intro forDedede's Cake Royale, and pitsKirby against aSoldier Waddle Dee. A large fence separates the Mini Whispy Woods and prevents the contestants from interfering with each-other. All stage elements are very close to each-other, making collecting apples a very simple affair.

In order forKirby to enter the Battle Castle and qualify for the Cake Royale, he is challenged bySoldier Waddle Dee to a match of Apple Scramble. While the Soldier Waddle Dee collects the apples from a regular tree, Kirby needs to collect them fromWhispy Woods. Whispy Woods refuses to cooperate with Kirby, instead he tries to defeat him to prove that he can fight too. Whispy Woods attacks Kirby by dropping the apples on him, which Kirby starts to gather. Whispy, who doesn't want his apples to be taken from him, shootsAir Bullets at Kirby. Kirby attacks him with theSword ability, causing him to drop more apples, which Kirby gathers.
