Hades Paradox Cup

The Hades Paradox Cup (裏ハデスカップ) is one of the four cups that you enter by talking to Hades in his chamber, in Kingdom Hearts II. The tournament consists of fifty matches with the cup's rules changing every ten matches. You fight a boss on every tenth match and the final boss is Hades in Berserk mode. When you win the cup, you receive the Hades Cup Trophy.

Rounds 1-10

 * No restrictions. You are not timed, and you have access to Drives, Summons, and your allies.

Rounds 11-20

 * Titan Cup rules. Sora fights alone, and cannot use Drives (with the exception of Limit Form in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix), but Summons are available. There is also the Damage Points restriction with Sora starting out at 500 points.

Rounds 21-30

 * Pain and Panic Cup rules. Your Drive Gauge is locked, but Summons and Allies are available and Limits consume less MP than usual.

Rounds 31-40

 * Cerberus Cup rules. You have Forms available to you, and Drive Gauges fill much faster than normal. You also have a ten-minute timer.

Rounds 41-50

 * No Summons, no Drives (with the exception of Limit Form in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix), and no allies; just your Keyblade, magic, and Trinity Limit.
