 Morpho Knight Sword
|
|---|
Use Morpho Knight Sword to Complete the Tournament
|
Morpho Knight Sword
|
Morpho Knight Sword allows you to defeat the mid-bosses in one or two hits, saving you time and energy for the more difficult bosses. In addition, you can use its combo attacks to restore health each time the attack lands on the opponents.
The copy ability's dodge is enhanced, allowing you to vanish and travel for a short distance to avoid attacks. You can use this to dodge and perform a counterattack to fast-moving bosses.
Avoid using the charged attacks towards fast-moving bosses as this will leave you open to their attacks.
Ultimate Cup Z EX Tips
Have a Maxim Tomato on the Item Slot
Before entering the Ultimate Cup Z EX, purchase a Maxim Tomato from the Waddle Dee Cafe to have it on the item slot. This comes in handy if you have low health during a boss fight or if you ran out of oranges in between the fights.

Save Three Oranges for the Last Three Fights
At the end of each fight, you can pick up the oranges at the sides of the area to restore a portion of your health. It is recommended to save at least three oranges once you face the last three bosses in the tournament.
Note that the oranges will not respawn once you return to the area after a boss fight.
Price for Retrying Gradually Increases
When you lose a battle, you have the option to retry, start over, or give up. Choosing to retry and pay the fee puts you back at the start of the battle with your health fully restored.
Note that the amount you need to pay doubles each time you lose. This means that if you lose for the second and third time, the payment increases to 200 star coins and 400 star coins, respectively.
Star Coin Farming Guide and Where to Use
Power Up Your Copy Ability to Increase Damage
You can power up your copy ability three times at Waddle Dee's Weapon Shop. This upgrades its damage stat, allowing you to defeat the bosses faster.

Play in Co-Op Mode for an Easier Experience
Playing in Co-Op mode allows you to fight the bosses with two characters instead of just Kirby, allowing for an easier experience overall.
While Bandana Waddle Dee does not have Kirby's copy ability, his attack power will match Kirby's copy ability. This means that Bandana Waddle Dee can have the same attack power as the Morpho Knight Sword if Kirby is using it.
Note that if you complete the Ultimate Cup Z EX in Co-Op mode, your record time will appear under the "Best Co-op Times" section of the tournament selection screen.
How to Unlock and Play Co-Op With 2 Players
Use All Item Buffs Before Entering the Tournament
If you have Waddle Dee's Item Shop at the town, you can buy the item boosters that they sell to gain an advantage at the Ultimate Cup Z EX. In addition, these items can be stacked up to five times to increase their item effect.
It is recommended to use five Attack Boosts and Speed Boosts to increase your damage and speed for at least sixteen minutes. You can also buy the Life Up to double your health and ensure survivability in the tournament.
If you use any of the item buffs, they will show up in your record at the end of the tournament, although this has no negative impact.

Change the Difficulty to Spring-Breeze Mode If Having Trouble
If you are having a difficult time completing the Ultimate Cup Z EX, you can change the difficulty to Spring-Breeze Mode. This mode lets you have more health, allowing to you to take more damage from the bosses.
