In King, a crown is set in the middle of the stage. Players will be put in an equal length between the crown and themselves. Whoever has the crown by the end wins or earns more points. The player with the crown will be a shiny, golden color. In order to knock the crown out of the player's hands, the player with the crown must be bomb blasted; at that phase, the crown will "jump" to a random square.
