The area that the Kirbys arrive in after they grab the Skull Key
| “ | When you get a skull key, you'll be warped to an area where the Skull Gang will attack. If you survive until morning or get the Treasure Chest, you'll be able to escape.” |
| — Daroach • Kirby Mass Attack instruction booklet |
A skull key is an item found in Kirby Mass Attack. It is a key that can be found in a random area throughout a stage. If one is obtained, the player's Kirbys will be sucked in by a portal that leads to a dark area. A large group of Skullys will then appear, ambushing the group. They can be defeated with just a few Kirbys, but can snatch them away if they are not watched.
The way to escape from the Skull Gang is by defeating them and the red Skully that holds a skull chest. If it is destroyed, the chest will fall to the ground and the other Skullys will fly away and disappear.
Using the skull key, the skull chest can be opened. Once opened, the player will receive a medal. If it has been previously obtained, fruit will come out of the chest instead. After the reward is received, the portal will come back, taking the Kirbys back to where they picked up the key.
