Apple Scramble

Apple Scramble is a battle game present in Kirby Battle Royale. During the game's Story Mode, it is first played in the Starter League. It is unlocked by default and can be played in Battle Mode immediately after clearing the game's prologue.

Gameplay
Apple Scramble is a team game where the aim is to collect more apples than the opposing team within 60 seconds. Apples can be gathered by hitting any Mini Whispy Woods and then picking up the ones that have dropped off. If no apples are present on a Mini Whispy Woods, hitting it will cause more apples to grow.

An infinite amount of apples can be held by the player, stacking vertically. Walking, running and jumping will not cause them to fall, however, being knocked over by an attack or having an apple thrown at the player will cause all held apples to be dropped. Apples can be thrown one-by-one by pressing B, and attacks cannot be performed while holding apples.

Roughly halfway into the game, a Golden Apple will grow, worth 5 points. They will continue to show up every so often until the end of the game.

Points are only scored when the lever is pulled and collected apples are dropped into the team's hatch. Opening the hatch door will also cause any players standing on it to fall in, counting as an instant KO, regardless of team, and any apples held by players who fall into the hole will go to whichever team the hatch belonged to. Apples that are on a team's hatch but have not fallen in yet can be "stolen" by the other team by picking them up.

In some stages, cannons will appear, which can either be used to launch apples directly onto a team's hatch, or for launching a player over obstacles, such as fences. In some maps, the levers can only be reached via cannons.
