Titan Cup

The Titan Cup is a competition staged in the Olympus Coliseum's Underworld in Kingdom Hearts II. The Titan Cup is a solo tournament, allowing only Sora to participate. It is the first tournament to feature a "damage gauge", relying on "Key Points", which, in addition to the player's HP, can be reduced by damage. It can be entered once the player has completed all the second visits to other worlds after the Battle of the 1000 Heartless and beaten the Cerberus Cup.

Rules

 * Allies are disabled.
 * Drives are disabled.
 * Limits are enabled, can only use Trinity Limit and Summon Limits.
 * Summons are available.

Strategy
During the entire cup, Sora must survive on 500 Key Points, which act as a damage gauge in addition to his HP. He must avoid being hit as much as possible in order to survive to the final match. To add to the increased difficulty of the Key Point system, the enemies in the cup primarily deal heavy damage, causing the gauge to drain more quickly. During rounds 5-10, large rocks fall from the ceiling and can take away as many as 12 Key Points per hit.

In the final round, the player must battle Hercules. If Hercules is seen to pull his arm back, as if winding up for a punch, or if he begins to glow in a golden color, he will soon unleash an extemely damaging attack. The player is advised to repeatedly hit Hercules until one of the former actions in done, in which case the player should begin to use a series of jumps and dodges to avoid the attack.

In order to complete the challenge in Jiminy's Journal, the player must obtain 5,000 points throughout the ten rounds. Points are gathered by damaging and defeating Heartless, who drop them in the form of yellow orbs inscribed with lightning bolts. The orbs tend to disappear quickly, so they must be gathered as soon as they are droppped. As summons are enabled for this tournament, it is recommended that the player utilize several of them. One of the most helpful summons in this cup is Stitch. Activate the Ohana! limit, and then use "Ukulele" as many times as possible, as it will damage the enemies without destroying them, while causing them to drop points. The Peter Pan summon and Genie's Final Form have similar effects.
