Colosseum Guide: How to Unlock the Colosseum and Recommended Abilities
The Colosseum is a facility found in Waddle Dee Town in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Read on to see how to unlock the Colosseum, recommended abilities, and bosses you can battle.
How to Unlock the Colosseum
Clear the Wondaria Remains Area
You can unlock the Colosseum by clearing the Wondaria Remains area. Note that you have to finish all the stages within Wondaria Remains to clear it!
Colosseum Activity List
Participate in Tournaments
Colosseum Tournaments work similarly to Arenas in previous Kirby games where you can face the bosses you've beaten so far. This time around, there are three tournaments you can participate in. Each tournament increasingly gets harder while giving better rewards.
Finish all Cups to Get the Commentator Waddle Dee Figure
You will be able to get hold of the Commentator Waddle Dee Figure by finishing all three cups in the Colosseum. You can unlock these cups as you progress through the game.

The Trader Waddle Dee will show up near the Gotcha Machine Alley after you clear The Ultimate Cup Z.
Trader Waddle Dee will trade Figures for Rare Stones, making him a convenient character for those looking to complete their Figures collection.

Recommended Copy Abilities
Fire Copy Ability
 Fire
|
The Fire Copy Ability allows you to hit opponents from a distance in addition to having high base damage. Furthermore, burning an opponent deals continuous damage, which is beneficial when dodging attacks.
Ice Copy Ability
 Ice
|
The Ice copy ability allows you to freeze bosses over time, causing massive damage. You can also guard against most attacks, which comes in handy if you find dodging the attacks too difficult.
Morpho Knight Sword Copy Ability
 Morpho Knight Sword
|
Once you have completed the stages in Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams, you can upgrade your Sword copy ability further to use the Morpho Knight Sword.
This copy ability is strong enough to defeat bosses in one or two hits, letting you finish the tournaments as fast as possible.

I don't know how you have not unlocked the Ultumite Cup Z, but the after game thing is called Forgo Dreams. Maybe you have not collected enough waddle dees, or maybe that's based on percent.
