{{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.

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.

==Mechanics==
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.

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"}}.

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.
