Toad and Kirby both found themselves in the 'Temple' arena, and Toad was dumbstruck with the huge surroundings. There were large stone platforms and even a building that looked like the Parthenon in the background. Columns held up giant stone structures, and there were at least four storeys of ground, with a winding passage going further and deeper down.

Kirby struck first, by jumping off a stone platform and delivering a series of kicks to Toad. Toad plucked up vegetables and threw them at Kirby, but he could easily dodge them. Approaching a large pillar, Toad got an idea, and pulled vegetables out of the ground near the pillar. With every vegetable that came up, so did a small amount of earth. The vegetables didn't hurt Kirby, but they stopped him from attacking, and after a while, a large hole had been dug out in front of the pillar. Toad ran behind it and pushed it, but it didn't fall. It was a mighty ancient marble pillar, and Toad wasn't strong enough.

With his first plan failing, Toad tried to think of what else he could do, but Kirby performed a combo of kicks on him. He didn't have time to think, he had to fight.

Toad used his big head to ram into Kirby and knock the air out of him. When Kirby was flung off of Toad's skull, he stood up and got ready to fight. Toad saw the anger in Kirby's eyes and turned and ran. Luckily for him, the fight had pushed them onto the second platform of earth, so Toad could easily jump down to the next level, and then the next again. Kirby was quick, but not quick enough to keep up with Toad. After much trying, Kirby finally got down to the last platform, but Toad jumped out from behind a pillar and used his head to his advantage, ramming Kirby to the edge of the arena again.

Toad wasn't strong enough to lift a big pillar, but he could lift stones easily, and he threw them at Kirby repeatedly. When he ran out of stones, he continued to pull vegetables, and eventually, after stepping backwards several times, Kirby stepped off the lowest arena completely. Toad raised his arms in triumph before he noticed Kirby floating back up.

Toad didn't want to let victory slip through his fingers, so he ran to the edge and punched the breath out of Kirby. Without being able to float, he started to fall again, but he grabbed the edge of the platform and tried to pull himself up. Toad jumped hard on Kirby's hand, and Kirby let out a yelp of pain, but Kirby breathed in more air and controlled his body to push the air, suddenly, into his arm. It swelled up so fast that Toad was blown off it, and flew back onto the ground.

Kirby pulled himself back onto the platform, and attacked Toad relentlessly. Kirby had perfect control over the rush of air in his body, and every time he hit Toad, it wasn't just with the power of his fist, but the power of a fist swollen to twenty times it's average size. Kirby kept punching away, and even picked up Toad and threw him up, through the layers of stone and earth that were in the way. Kirby then floated up through the gaps, just in time to kick Toad while he was falling.

Toad flew through the air and hit his head directly against the same pillar that he had tried to topple earlier. This time, it had a huge imprint of Toad's head, where it had made contact with the mushroom man's noggin. The pillar swayed from side to side, and Toad realised how hard his head must be.

Jumping behind the pillar, he tried to push it onto Kirby again, but it didn't work. Using his last idea, Toad bashed his head against the pillar, and felt no pain from the blow, but opened his mouth in a wide smile as his idea worked and the pillar toppled. Unfortunately, it took a long time to lean and fall, and although Kirby was definitely caught by the shockwaves of the landing, he was able to avoid the stone structure itself.

The pillar split into many different bits of rock when it hit the ground, and after recovering the shockwaves, Kirby took a deep breath of air and inhaled part of the rock. Toad expected Kirby to spit it out, and ducked, and Kirby didn't do anything. He merely stood there with the rock in his mouth. Toad slowly approached his enemy, but Kirby didn't attack. Toad even headbutted Kirby again, but his enemy didn't react.

Toad wondered what Kirby was doing, but used the time to his advantage, punching, kicking and headbutting Kirby, who did nothing except stand up and take the damage. Toad started to worry soon, as although Kirby wasn't attacking, the damage he was taking wasn't going to knock him out, and Toad was sure that Kirby had a plan. Toad had to knock out Kirby before he could put his plan into action. The first thing Toad tried was just pushing Kirby over the edge of the platforms. With a rock in his mouth, Toad was sure Kirby would sink, and charged at his enemy, and for the first time in a few minutes, got a reaction.

Kirby quickly sidestepped, and Toad had to stop his attack. Toad tried to grab Kirby again, but Kirby wouldn't let him. He still wasn't attacking, but just resisting, and this infuriated Toad further.

Eventually, Toad's anger got the better of him, and he landed a successful headbutt on Kirby, who was sent backwards, not off the platform, but further into the background of the arena. The building made up of dozens of columns was standing there, and Kirby was knocked backwards into it, as Toad got an idea for a final attack. He jumped over ruins and next to the pillar-supported structure. With one might bash of his head, Toad made a deafening crack sound from the building, and it started to collapse. Kirby still had the rock in his mouth, but tried to run out.

Toad kicked Kirby back into the structure, and turned and ran for his own safety. A huge crash filled the arena, and when Toad looked back, all that was left was a pile of rubble. His smile got wider and wider, until he saw slight movement in the rubble. A bruised and battered Kirby made his way out, before finally opening his mouth by a tiny gap.

Toad instantly saw what Kirby's plan was. The rock in his mouth had become so damaged that it was no longer a rock. It was thousands of tiny pieces of gravel, which Kirby spat out like bullets. Toad was peppered with immensely painful shots, and eventually keeled over on the brink of unconsciousness. Kirby spat out the rest of the gravel, and flew up high into the arena sky.

Toad didn't have to wonder what Kirby was doing for too long, because he came down again, whilst inhaling huge amounts of air. He had swollen to at least a hundred times his original size, and was almost as big as the arena. Kirby swallowed his breath, opened his mouth, and inhaled hard.

Entire chunks of the arena separated and flew into Kirby's mouth. Toad used his last energy to cling onto the ground, but the ground itself went flying into Kirby's mouth too. Kirby didn't stop there though, and soon, the entire arena was occupying the space in Kirby's crammed mouth. With one great rumble, Kirby spat out the ground, the arena, and the opponent, all of whom flew out of the side of the arena boundaries. He remained, floating peacefully in the air while waiting for an announcement of his victory.
