Battle Arena Pad
A Battle Arena Pad is a steel pad found in the Nintendo 64 game, Donkey Kong 64. Noticeably, they have a headshot of King K. Rool on them, the game's main villain.
Battle Arena Pads can be found around the levels of Donkey Kong 64. Each level usually contains only one pad, though the game's overworld, DK Isles, contains two. During gameplay, after finding them, the five Kongs can use these metal platforms to teleport to a small arena, though this is completely optional. In this arena, one of the playable Kongs will be greeted by several members of the Kremling Krew, whom they will need to defeat while avoiding taking damage or falling off the stage. After defeating an enemy, another appears in its place. If the Kong in question can survive the wave of Kremlings until the timer hits zero, they will be given a golden Battle Arena Crown, one of the keys to beating the game 101%. After the player finishes the battle arena, the Battle Arena Pad will disappear.
Battle arenas can also be played in the game's multiplayer mode Kong Battle, where the player(s) must battle each other to the finish until there is one Kong standing, all the while dealing with various enemies and using power ups against the opposing player.
