Standard RockColo
Applies to Practice Battle, Lone Battle, Team Battle, and is multiplayer only. The goal is to obtain as many stars before the time is up, this can be done by gathering them on the field or steal them from other rival players. Using items that spawn on the field is integral to victory.
Before the battle, each player must pick an element to be equipped with: Rock, Paper, or Scissors. When attacking another player; a player equipped with an RPS element that beats a rival's will steal points from them. Otherwise, attacking a rival does nothing. The equipped element can also be changed and boostedfrom a field item.
If a player is struck by a bomb, they will be fallen and lose stars and be teleported for a respawn point. In their fall, they will also leave a Red Star (3) in their place.
Certain mechanics will take place depending on how well a player is doing:
- The 1st place player will have their map covered up with big letters, making them unable to see their map.
- If a player loses all their stars and respawn, they will temporarily be boosted: They will have all 3 RPS elements at once, increased attack power, increase movement speed, and be invincible. They are unaffected by rival normal attacks but will still be affected by terrain effects and bombs.
If more than a minute has passed, there is a chance Bass will appear. Bass will target a player and chase them down, if caught they will lose all their stars. He will disappear after some time or if he gets bombed.
VS Bass
For single player and multiplayer. The goal is to attack Bass using bombs and reduce his HP to zero within 5 minutes. Using items that spawn on the field is integral to victory. Depending on how fast Bass is beaten, extra points will be rewarded. Bass' HP will depend on your circumstance. In multiplayer, it's even possible to face 2 Bass.
| # of players | HP | # of Bass |
|---|---|---|
| 1P | 4000 HP | 1 |
| 2P | 5000 HP | 1 |
| 3P | 6000 HP | 1 |
| 4P | 7000 HP | 1 |
| 5P | 4000 HP | 2 |
| 6P |
A bit after the start of the match, Bass will target a player and chase them. If he makes contact with a player, they are fallen. In multiplayer, he will be able to change targets.
- In single player, if the player falls 2 times, the match is over.
- In multiplayer, a fallen player will be marked with HELP and can be revived indefinitely by coming in contact with another player. Fallen players will be able to Bass on their map. If all players are fallen at the same time, the match is over.

Field System
Map Mechanics
These are terrain occurrences that can be found on the map.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Disappearing Floor | If a player is standing on the tile when it disappears, they will fall. In RockColo, the player's stars be cut in 1/2. |
| Orange Warp Hole | Entering a warp hole will do the following effects: Teleport player to another spot, RPS element will change, be in Cloaker for a short period, and any held items or power-up will be removed. |
Items
Once picking up most items, they will be stored and can be activated with the B Button. In VS Bass, only Speed Up, Cloaker, and Bomb will appear.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Star | Counts as 1 star. |
| Red Star (3) | Counts as 3 stars. |
| Red Star (10) | Counts as 10 stars. These Red Stars can be found within ice, which will require multiple attacks from players to break. Playable Bass however, can clear it in one shot. |
| Rock, Paper, Scissors Icon | Become the shown element on the icon. In Team Battle, the same element twice will power up the player, which will allow them to destroy ice faster and steal more points when attacking a rival. |
| Pit Fall | Sets up a hidden pit fall. Anyone who walks over it will fall in it and get stuck, even the player who set it up. Those stuck can have their points stolen by attacks regardless of their RPS element.
|
| Speed Up (Blue) | Temporarily move faster. |
| Speed Up (Red) | Temporarily move even faster than Speed Up (Blue) and more rare than it. |
| Cloaker | Temporarily turn invisible, but will be visible when attacking. In VS Bass, you will not be targeted by Bass. |
| Bomb | Places a bomb that will explode after a while and take out whoever gets caught in the explosion. It has no friendly fire and will also take out its user. Getting hit by one will take away 1/3 of the player's stars. |
| Star Bomb | When picking up a normal Star, there's a chance for it to be Star Bomb and attach itself to who picked it up. A timer counting down from 20 will show on it. If it hits 0, it will take out the holder and take all their stars. If anyone else gets caught in its explosion, it will take 1/2 their stars.
|
| Club Strong | Super rare item. A 15 second timer will start and orange warp holes will appear throughout the stage. All rivals that don't escape to a warp hole in time will be hammered by Club Strong and their stars will be stolen by its user. |

- In the internal text files, it suggests that Rockman Star Colosseum was also intended to be a DSiWare game and supported the DSi's memory system. The points obtained in it could have also been transferred to a Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star game card. In the final game, there is no additional DSi support.
