Slam Hockey is one of the ten battle types inKirby Battle Royale. Contestants are placed on a glass rink with a giant puck, with the goal being to slam the puck into each-other to score.

Rules and gameplay[edit]

Four contestants and a large puck are placed in a rectangular arena. To score a point, a contestant must strike or toss the puck at one of his rivals to knock them out of the arena. When the puck is struck or tossed, it will move very quickly and ricochet off walls, gaining a light streak that represents the color of the contestant who hit it. It cannot be interrupted until this streak goes away. After 45 seconds have passed, a roulette will appear, selecting a random contestant. The selected contestant will then be worth 3 points if they are knocked out instead of one as usual. Once the target contestant is knocked out, the roulette will select a different one. Contestants who get slammed by the puck are not healed when they return to the arena.

In addition to striking the puck, contestants can also attack each-other. They havehealth, and can be KO'd as usual, but this does not score a point.

Stages[edit]

There are three stages for Slam Hockey. They are as follows:

Stages in Slam Hockey
Name	Intro	Gameplay	Description
Normal Arena			A standard rectangular arena with no extra features. This is the only stage that is featured in the Cake Royale.
Obstacle Arena			A sky-bound arena where a ballooned flag occasionally covers up the viewing area.
Stretch Arena			A standard rectangular arena, though the puck is much taller, capable of hitting contestants in the air. The heavier puck also moves more slowly.
