Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] is the seventh (not counting remakes) entry of Disney and Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts series, first released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. Coinciding with the series’ 10th anniversary, this game serves to link the initial Sora-centric trilogy to the experimental handheld trilogy, while setting the stage for the then much anticipated Kingdom Hearts III.Taking place shortly after the events of Kingdom Hearts II and coded, Sora and Riku have been summoned by King Mickey for an urgent task. With the return of Master Xehanort at hand, the two must obtain the rank of Keyblade Master to prepare for this threat. To do this, they must undergo a Mark of Mastery test conducted by Yen Sid—a journey into the realm of dreams and sleep, where they are to find the seven Sleeping Keyholes and release the worlds trapped within. However, during their quest, a mysterious and malevolent young man in a black coat makes himself known, and villains from the past begin to follow suit...Featuring all new Disney worlds based on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, TRON: Legacy, Fantasia and Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers alongside remixed originals such as Traverse Town (featuring the cast of The World Ends with You) and a new world based on Pinocchio, the game stars both Sora and Riku as playable characters, both as their younger selves (a side effect of them traveling to worlds trapped in the past) but with entirely new attire. The game has graphics on par with II, thanks to the higher processing power of the 3DS, and supports full 3D imagery, partial AR functions and the 3DS Circle Pad Pro expansion. The gameplay is a slightly simplified version of Birth by Sleep's, but with several new additions and alterations such as the "Flowmotion" mechanic and the new creatable Dream Eaters. Gameplay switches between Sora and Riku by way of the new "Drop" gauge, which continually decreases; when the gauge completely empties, the current player character falls asleep and is replaced by the other.The game was released in Japan on March 29, 2012, with a European release on July 20, 2012 and a North American release on July 31, 2012. In 2017 it received an Updated Re-release in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, in the same vein as the 1.5 HD ReMIX and 2.5 HD ReMIX compilations. |

Earlier than that is Wargoyle. For Riku, he flies around the battlefield firing hard-hitting attacks as he does so. For Sora, he is even worse thanks to using many powerful attacks one after another in long combo chains as his health decreases. |

Arc Symbol: The "Recusant's Sigil". The term is suddenly introduced via Glossary entry and characters start making cryptic references to the term and the sigil itself, but its meaning isn't revealed until the very end of Sora's scenario. The sigil is an "X". When planted by Xehanort(s), he is able to track its location at any time. The crossing straps on Sora's outfit are the most recent and most immediately troubling example, but as the Glossary entry points out, the sigil has been all over the series from day one. |

Heroic BSoD: Sora gets a few in this game thanks to the same questions Xion was asked. To sum the questions: "Am I the real thing, or a copy? Am I really myself, or just a puppet with a role to play?" Thankfully, they don't end up the same way. |

comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: Though in such a subtle way that it's more actual Foreshadowing — the original teaser showed Sora confronting Xemnas in Twilight Town, then a mirror scene of Riku confront Ansem in the same manner. Guess who interacts primarily with who during the course of the game, including the inevitable boss rematches. Look at the box art for a while. Notice how Sora is falling while Riku is in a rising position? Yup. It serves as a Foreshadowing to the fact that Riku is the real hero of this game, and what will happen to Sora late in the game. |

Darker and Edgier: Some of the stuff that happens to Sora is pretty grim. He nearly loses his heart forever, gets mind-screwed on more than one occasion, has some pretty jarring nightmares (no, not the monsters), and sees far more of Xehanort's evil than Riku. |

Musical Gameplay: The Fantasia world, Symphony Of Sorcery mutes voices and replaces sound-effects with instruments, while the background plays songs from the movie, and it is wonderful. Where does the gameplay come in? The Reality Shift has you playing a small Elite Beat Agents style rhythm game with a segment of one of the movie's songs to alter the landscape to open paths and destroy enemies. |

And near the end, Sora speaks his best friend's name again as his heart is smothered in darkness; this time, Riku was able to hear him, which would soon lead to Sora being revived and Riku becoming a Keyblade Master. |

Stealth Pun: The minigame that one plays before they visit each world is called "dive mode". There's even a version of the minigame for when Riku goes into Sora's heart to defeat the nightmare that's preventing Sora from waking up. This trope comes in once you realize the actual name of the world Riku visits, "Dive to the Heart". When in the Grid, Sora decides to go after CLU despite not knowing where to look. He has no CLU. |

Chekhov's Gun: Sora's new clothes. The big "X" across his torso is eventually revealed to be the "Recusant's Sigil" that Xehanort uses to mark his potential hosts, and also what allowed Organization XIII to track Sora through the game. The Dream Eater symbol on Riku's new clothes. It's even there on his "The Grid" outfit. It's eventually revealed he's been acting as Sora's Dream Eater Spirit the entire game. The very first Dream Eaters that you're forced to make. See Chekhov's Skill. |

Ironic Echo: In a meta-sense, Master Xehanort echoes the tagline of Birth by Sleep to justify the crap he inflicted on Terra, Aqua and Ven. "Destiny is never left to chance." |

Palette Swap: There are two versions of most Dream Eater species—the friendly Spirits and antagonistic Nightmares. There are also "Rare species" that appear during challenges. The player can use spray paint to color their own Spirits. Several Jestabockies masquerade as Pinocchio in Prankster's Paradise; their clothes have Nightmare Jestabocky colors as opposed to Pinocchio's color scheme. |

Failure Is the Only Option: No matter what Riku does, he will always pass out before he can go on to the fortress of Organization XIII. Due to that, he cannot prevent Sora from falling into darkness nor prevent him from failing his Mark of Mastery (until Kingdom Hearts III, anyway). |

| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb |
comment |
Status Effects: While used by some enemies in previous games, it's a much bigger problem this time around, with practically every dream eater possessing at least one attack that inflicts a bad status, on top of some of them also using the same status inflicting spells you have access to (Which can be nigh impossible to avoid due to how quickly they trigger). Abilities that provide resistance to each of the different effects were added to alleviate some of the pain. |

Lampshade Hanging: The game's convoluted story is lampshaded twice in the final world by Sora, when he says "That's nuts..." and "That's ridiculous!". The villains agree with this assessment; because their plot was so complex, the heroes never saw it coming. |

comment |
Artifact Title: Part of the reason the subtitle is the way it is was so it could abbreviate to 3D (and pull off a Super Title 64 Advance in the process, being originally a 3DS title and all). However, the PS4 Updated Re-release doesn't have the 3DS's 3D functionality, although it also omits the 3D from the title and simply uses Dream Drop Distance. The Flick Rush minigame is so named because you play it by flicking the touch screen. The PS4 version uses simple button presses instead, but it's still called Flick Rush despite now involving zero flicking. |

Game-Breaking Bug |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_33ca811a |
comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: In the original Japanese printing of the game, there was a glitch where if Riku Dropped before the spiral staircase in Delusive Beginning in the World That Never Was fully manifested, Riku's scenario would be cut off from progressing (you can't re-do the challenge required to turn on the staircase, so you can't do anything to make it appear); the player would have to re-load their save file (and if you happened to save as Sora after Dropping, you were out of luck). A patch was released via the eShop and the bug was fixed for international release. Towards the end of the game, for plot reasons, you might be forced to switch characters without Dropping. An error in the code for this switch means that, afterwards, Sora and Riku have swapped Link Portals and Forecasts, making the former appear in illogical or inaccessible locations and the latter completely useless. Luckily, it's easily fixed. It's possible for the final boss to get stuck in the middle of an attack - he'll freeze, allowing you to attack him mercilessly without retribution. But if this happens, you won't be able to defeat him, as the game will be unable to load his final attack when he reaches 1 HP. The only recourse is to reset to your last save. There's a small chance during the second-to-last boss that Young Xehanort will just fail to summon the clock that the player needs to Reality Shift to do the second phase of the fight, forcing a restart. |

comment |
Adapted Out: Geppetto's cat Figaro, Stromboli, Honest John, Gideon, The Coachman, Lampwick, or pretty much any of the children that visit Pleasure Island do not appear in the world based on Pinocchio. Daisy Duck doesn't make an appearance as Minnie's lady-in-waiting in Country of the Musketeers, a world based on Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers. Quite ironic, considering she's also already established as Minnie's lady-in-waiting in the Kingdom Hearts universe. Clarabelle, who is also a major character in the movie, doesn't make an appearance, either, and her absence makes the scene when Goofy runs off from the palace rather stupid.note Instead of being tricked by her like in the movie, it looks like he just runs off for thinking he saw something that Sora (and the player) never even saw what the hell it was. Also, the scene where Donald is almost beheaded is understandably omitted because there's no way it could be included in a Kingdom Hearts game due to rating reasons. Unfortunately, this makes him seem like more of a coward than he was in the movie, because rather than running away after almost losing his life, instead he's just running away out of fear of Pete of all people. |

Lethal Joke Character |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_36249acd |
comment |
Lethal Joke Character: The Meow Wow is an easy-to-defeat early game enemy, and as a Spirit, it's not a whole lot better, but where it really shines is in Flick Rush. Its Tummy Bounce attack deals multiple hits of high damage that the enemy just does not know how to break once hit by it, it comes with Cure spells, and its evolved command is Elixir, which restores its health and reloads its own cards. It's entirely possible to solo a round with one Meow Wow. The other Meow Wow variants are lethal even as Spirits. Flowbermeow is ridiculously fast, spams no-cost status effect and healing spells like no tomorrow, and can cast Faith once its level is high enough. Meowjesty has high stats and all of the abilities of the other variants, except it trades Faith for Balloon spells, which makes it excellent at scattering groups of enemies. |

The Hero Dies: Downplayed. The villains' main plot is to cause Sora's heart to be smothered in darkness, which succeeds. Sora is left an empty husk fit to be taken over by Master Xehanort, but Riku interferes and rescues Sora's body from the Dream world. Riku then dives into Sora's heart to revive him from the darkness. |

The Ignite status is indirectly nerfed with the removal of Ignite as a command. It can still affect certain bosses, but is now only caused by certain physical commands that put you in harm' s way, making the "Ignite and run" strategy from Birth by Sleep much less viable. |

Final Boss, New Dimension |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_3ef5a484 |
comment |
Final Boss, New Dimension: Applies to the four last bosses. Xemnas gets the Nightmarish Abyss, a special dimensional space within the World That Never Was. Ansem gets a globe of darkness; his second form gets a canyon that resembles the Realm of Darkness. Young Xehanort gets the Sanctum of Time, some kind of cosmic clock platform, surrounded by giant hourglasses accompanied by gigantic clockwork looming in the background. The Armored Ventus Nightmare gets Sora's Soul World, a pitch-black dream abyss within Sora's mind. |

Because Destiny Says So |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_3f70415 |
comment |
Because Destiny Says So: Provides a convenient Hand Wave near the end of the game for just how Master Xehanort was able to know so much about what was and is going to happen years ahead of time. Also because he engineered a Stable Time Loop. This also further displays his Lack of Empathy; when Mickey angrily recalls that he ruined Terra, Ven, and Aqua's lives with his plans, Master Xehanort brushes it off by stating that it was their destiny to fall, and that he merely helped them reach said destinies that much quicker. |

Bittersweet Ending |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e |

Bittersweet Ending: As per usual. Riku is a Keyblade Master, Lea and Kairi are training to help the gang with their own Keyblades, Sora keeps his Spirit friends, Master Xehanort's plans to revive an army of his incarnations is delayed, and it's implied Riku now has the power to save the Birth by Sleep trio. However, Master Xehanort is still back with enough of his incarnations to keep working, he's going after the Princesses of Heart next, and another Keyblade War is on the horizon and averting it is seemingly impossible. Xehanort still plans on finding the one person who will become the thirteenth Xehanort clone, and he'll stop at nothing to make sure that happens. |

The Unfought: Frollo and CLU. The Coachman is completely absent, but his Karma Houdini status in the film makes him notable here nonetheless. Not to mention Master Xehanort, Braig/Xigbar, or Isa/Saïx. Notable for Braig because he actively taunts you throughout The World That Never Was, making you think that there may be a boss fight with him. Subverted with Master Xehanort as he possessed his younger self briefly to fight Riku. |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_4a3e547f |
comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Kingdom Hearts is quite averse in mentioning the name of Disney worlds that don't actually have canon names in their original movies (or have another name, like real-life based worlds). For example, Country of the Musketeers is actually France, but when Sora asks Mickey what the world's name is, Mickey quickly changes the subject to avoid answering the question. |

Super Title 64 Advance: Kingdom Hearts 3D. 3D, in this case, has a double meaning: Not only does it mean it's for the Nintendo 3DS, but it also literally means three Ds, which stand for Dream Drop Distance. (The HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue remake omits the "3D" from the title, going for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD.) |

The Anti Black Coat appeared in a couple of trailers in montages alongside past characters like Xion, Terra, and Aqua. Its only role in the game is a single boss fight near the end. |

Long Song, Short Scene: "Twister [Kingdom Mix]", "Calling [Kingdom Mix]" and "Someday [Kingdom Mix]" are each fairly long, with multiple verses.

Book Ends: One of the earliest things you can do in Kingdom Hearts is spar against Riku on the islands, and Sora fights him again to save him from the darkness later in that game. At the end of this game, Riku fights the Armored Ventus Nightmare that's possessing Sora to save him from the darkness. The first game starts off with Sora waking up in the Dive to the Heart. The final boss fight between Sora and Riku takes place in the Dive to the Heart. |

Affably Evil: Young Xehanort, who is really more of a Punch-Clock Villain considering that he's only traveled through time to really just do as he's told by his older self, and he'll lose his memories of what happens in this game when he returns to his own time anyway. He's actually pretty polite to Sora and Riku until he's controlled by his elder self during his battle with Riku. |

Flash Step: La Cité des Cloches's Reality Shift "Faithline" lets Sora and Riku zip between selected enemies very quickly. The new dodge move has shades of this. Two of Riku's spirit links give him this ability when attacking. |

| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e |
comment |
Happy Ending Override: The ending of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep was far from happy, but at least with the downfall of its heroes the villain was defeated as well. Except not. The heroes are still trapped in their horrible fates, but the Big Bad is back and more dangerous than ever before, and is in fact even closer to achieving his plan than last time. |

Le Parkour: 3D uses a new gameplay mechanic called "Flowmotion" in the Sleeping Worlds (accessible to at least the Traverse Town residents as well). By holding or tapping Y, the player can make Riku or Sora perform over-the-top acrobatics such as infinite wall-jumping, rail-grinding or spinning around poles, which also allows opportunities for special high-damage attacks. |

Dark Is Not Evil |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_575fd5e2 |
comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: The "Spirit" Dream Eaters eat bad dreams just as there are "Nightmare" ones that eat good dreams. Spirits can also be synthesized by Sora, Riku, and others. This trope, along with Dark Is Evil, is also the reason why Xehanort ultimately chooses Sora as a vessel, because Riku's Character Development and revelations about the darkness led him to develop a natural resistance to its more corrupting effects, so even if Riku himself continues to use it, Xehanort can't use Riku as a dark vessel. |

comment |
The Meow Wow is an easy-to-defeat early game enemy, and as a Spirit, it's not a whole lot better, but where it really shines is in Flick Rush. Its Tummy Bounce attack deals multiple hits of high damage that the enemy just does not know how to break once hit by it, it comes with Cure spells, and its evolved command is Elixir, which restores its health and reloads its own cards. It's entirely possible to solo a round with one Meow Wow. |

Boss Rush: The first fight against Spellican doesn't involve said Dream Eater at all; he instead summons Hockomonkey, Wargoyle, and Char Clawbster to battle Sora. Riku fights The Anti Black Coat, then two forms of Ansem right after that. Later on, he fights Young Xehanort followed by the Armored Ventus Nightmare to cap it all off. |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Trailers for the game and a cutscene show that Vanitas looks just like Sora, which is a massive plot twist shown only at the end of Birth by Sleep. As you progress through the game you're given text-synopses of all of the previous installments, revealing all of the important plot points just in case you're a newcomer. The Grid, the TRON: Legacy world, has multiple characters explicitly refer to Rinzler as Tron when Sora visits. In the movie this plot twist is only revealed at the end, while the game reveals it almost immediately. |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: The first time Sora and Riku drop is dictated by the story, not the drop meter. When they wake up, it's obvious that the world has kept functioning despite their falling asleep. When meter-dictated drops start occurring, however, the other side of the game is simply "paused" and picks back up as if nothing happened in the interim when you drop back to it later. |

Meaningful Echo: When Sora meets Neku for the first time, and Sora calls him a friend, Neku says making friends isn't that simple. Sora then replies, "Not saying it is, but, you could make it easier." After they fight Spellican together and Sora vows to take out the Dream Eater so the TWEWY cast isn't erased, Neku being grateful to him as a friend says, "Thanks. It wasn't easy, but you made it easier." After defeating Ansem, Riku says "Strength, to protect what matters". In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Riku tells Terra that he's searching for strength to protect the things that matter. In the finale, during his conversation with the digitized Ansem the Wise, there is another, intentional on the part of Ansem the Wise, and acknowledged with a grin by Riku. Compare the lines below. When confronted by Xigbar before the battle against Xemnas, Sora is told that his power is a composite of all those he's connected with, that Sora himself is basically nothing. Sora replies that he's still happy to be part of something bigger. Remember way back in Kingdom Hearts' beginning when Riku was talking about other worlds? Didn't he say that Destiny Islands "is just a little piece of something much greater"? Yeah, reaching a bit, but still cool, intentional or not. Riku repeats his "road to the dawn" line to Ansem SOD and Young Xehanort. "You made us a promise... that you'd always be there to bring us back. Got it memorized?" And later: "Promises to keep! I'll always be there to bring my friends back! What, bad timing?" |

Underground Monkey: Some of the rarest Spirits are slightly tweaked models of more common varieties—Meowjesty and Flowbermeow for Meow Wow, or Frootz Cat for Necho Cat, for instance. They're essentially "souped up" versions of the previous Spirits, with similar skills, attack patterns, and the same Links. |

Gotta Catch 'Em All: The Dream Eaters, like any good Mon game. Although this game seems more inspired by the Shin Megami Tensei style of mons than those found in the Trope Namer. |

Guide Dang It! |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 |
comment |
Also more about the ending, one of the requirements for the Secret Ending is that you need a certain number of trophies, that the amount you need depends on the difficulty you chosen. Now unlike Birth By Sleep, the game doesn't even hint at this. Also you need to unlock the Secret Message as well (on Beginner and Standard, Proud and Critical Mode don't require it), but that's much less of a Guide Dang It! since players will most likely do this unless they spoil themselves on it. The only consolation is that you don't need to do these requirements in a specific order. |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Averted by allowing players to view "flashbacks" from the point of view of certain characters (as well as flashbacks to when Yen Sid explains the nature of the sleeping worlds to Sora and Riku). Otherwise, the only way to know certain stuff that the characters are talking about or know what happened off-screen is to know the source material. |

And Now for Someone Completely Different: For the first time since Chain of Memories, Riku features as a playable character with a role equal to Sora's. The Drop mechanic makes sure that you can switch at any time, whether you want to or not. You can be in the middle of a swing and then drop to the other character. However, any fights (including boss fights) will restart from the beginning when you return. |

comment |
Pun: Neku's first line is "Talk about noise." The thing is, is he talking about the Noise, or the overexcited racket Sora's making? Xemnas's line to Sora in The Grid in the English version: "Sora...the bits and bytes that have made up your life so far...can you say for sure they're not just copies of someone else's?" He also refers to the heart's role in "parsing" memories, which is a perfectly valid use of that word, but it's also a computing term. The Dream Eaters' Dispositions have a one pun for each one. It's possible to have a Komory Bat with the disposition "Wingman". The Dream Eater descriptions also are full of puns and alliteration, especially Ghostabocky's description (try not to get tongue-tied if saying it out loud). Not unlike another Square Enix series... Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance... in other words, Kingdom Hearts 3D. Geddit? |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Riku encounters a doppelganger of himself in Prankster's Paradise, who is implied to be his Replica from Chain of Memories. It's never explained how the Replica got there, if he's even real or part of the dream, or what happens to him after the encounter... until Kingdom Hearts III. It's revealed in that game that this double is actually a past version of the replica who's working with the real Organization under the moniker "Dark Riku". |

comment |
Back from the Dead: As flat out stated in the secret ending of Re:coded, Master Xehanort has returned now that his Heartless (Ansem) and Nobody (Xemnas) have been destroyed. However, his Heartless and Nobody end up being subversions. They were pulled from a time before their defeat at the hands of Sora by Young Xehanort, and the latter makes it clear that they have to return eventually, and that their destruction cannot be averted in any way. Master Xehanort reforming is proof of that. In a similar case from above, Lea, Isa, and all of Ansem the Wise's apprentices have returned in human form. While they're not seen, the other old Organization members are back too. Nomura has stated in an interview that the revived members are their original, complete being personae, while also keeping their memories of their life as Nobodies/Organization members. |

The Armored Ventus Nightmare uses attacks taken from both Ventus and Vanitas. Among them are many attacks from the Fever Pitch Command Style, a weird tendrilly version of Aeroga, and the final attack, which he prepares as a Shotlock. To top it all off, the battle ends with a round of Air Jousting similar to the finale of the final Ventus/Vanitas battle. |

Invincible Villain: Master Xehanort becomes a definite example near the end. He's now Back from the Dead as if Birth by Sleep never happened; mocks Terra, Aqua, and Ven for their seemingly Senseless Sacrifices; invokes Hijacked by Ganon over pretty much everyone via his Stable Time Loop; and, despite ultimately failing to get Sora, still manages to escape largely successful with his near-complete Seekers of Darkness in the end. Not to mention how he already has a Xanatos Gambit set up for Kingdom Hearts III: The Guardians of Light have no choice but to fight in his upcoming Keyblade War, or else he'll just target the Princesses of Heart to use them for the χ-blade instead. Before the game's even out, no less. |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The superboss fight with Julius. He pops out of a giant manhole in the middle of the arena with almost no build-up, and disappears just as quickly under said manhole as soon as he's defeated. Sora even lampshades it if he's your current character: |

Absurdly High Level Cap: Similar to Birth by Sleep, the Level Cap is 99, but you can easily beat the game before you hit Level 40. The Trophies for the Final Chapter Prologue version acknowledge this by having the level-based Trophy simply be a combined total of 100 for both Sora and Riku; any combination is fine. |

Monster Clown: The Jestabocky Dream Eater species (its Japanese name, "Obake Pierrot", is more or less a direct translation of the trope name). A monster clown is also featured in the logo for Prankster's Paradise◊. You can find a 20 foot tall statue of him inside the funhouse, and his eyes follow you. |

Taking a second look at the cover image: Sora is directly behind Riku while Riku looks upward. If you pay attention to the positioning, Sora is curled behind Riku in such a way that you would have to go through Riku to reach him. Riku is effectively standing standing guard over Sora in a similar way to how he acted as Sora's Guardian Dream Eater in the game |

comment |
Zero Graviza (the only fourth tier version of a spell available) can be obtained surprisingly early. You'll likely even come upon it without a guide if you're just creating and leveling up new spirits semi-frequently. It affects all non boss enemies within a huge range, utterly incapacitating everything and gathering them up in a single spot for around half a minute so you can lay the hurt down with impunity. As a result, Thundaga ends up shining as a Disk One Nuke as well, since each jolt of lightning will also jump to every surrounding enemy—if you've got a half dozen enemies all in the same spot, well... |

comment |
Word Salad Title: Dream Drop Distance, though these kind of titles aren't uncommon in the series. Nomura has said it refers to something like the distance you drop into your dreams, and admits that the English isn't perfect; the words were chosen for how they sound, rather than English fidelity (a clearer phrasing would be something like "how deeply you fall into your dreams"). The title also refers to the game being set in a Dream world, the Drop gameplay system that facilitates switches between Sora and Riku, and the Distance separating the two protagonists' sides of the story. |

Time Travel: Introduced in this entry, with different mechanics than the door method for Timeless River, this has essentially been responsible for the entirety of Xehanort's Xehanort Gambit for the entirety of the series so far. The rules of time travel are rather unusual: They require a version of the time traveler to exist at the planned exit point, and one must leave their body in order to do it. Ansem gained this ability when he gave up his physical body to become a Heartless. He was also able to transfer the power over to his younger self without requiring him to give up his body. |

Bowdlerization |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_a49914aa |

Bowdlerization: Averted. Braig/Xigbar gets to keep his sniper rifle this time (unlike Kingdom Hearts II and Birth by Sleep), but since it only shows up twice for a couple seconds each (it makes an extremely brief appearance in one in-game scene, and the whole thing is never shown in one shot; it also makes a complete, but short, appearance during the pre-rendered ending credits), the localization team probably didn't see the point of changing it. In The Hunchback of Notre Dame world, all of Frollo's mentions of God granting him power are changed to more indirect statements like "righteous judgment" and "I have been granted this power" in order to avoid inserting religion into the game. This is sort of odd, given this was one of the film's prominent themes. |

But just as soon as he gets the Sound Idea, he is pulled into a dark landscape and encounters Young Xehanort, who gives him a word of warning about the fate of himself and Sora, and then says that it's time for Riku to enter his abyss. Cue Chernabog. |

Recycled Premise |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_a6fa41b |
comment |
Recycled Premise: The story borrows a lot of its main plot beats from Chain of Memories: Sora and Riku are separated and trapped inside a Closed Circle, go through worlds that are not real (dream worlds in this game, memory worlds in Chain of Memories), have to rely on a special power unique to the installment (the card battle system in Chain of Memories, the Dream Eaters in 3D), are regularly antagonized by Organization members, the whole thing is eventually revealed to be a trap for Sora, Sora once again falls into a deep slumber (lampshaded by Ansem the Wise when Riku meets him), Riku once again stumbles upon Sora asleep near the end of his journey and resolves to wake him up, and Riku's final adversary in the dream world is none other than Ansem, who was also the final boss of his campaign in Chain of Memories. Additionally both games heavily focus on Riku's quest for atonement, which he started in Chain of Memories and successfully completes here. There's also the fact that in both games the Organization's plot only fails thanks to Axel/Lea unexpectedly sabotaging it, though this time around he's doing it for much more heroic reasons. |

Apocalypse Cult: This is effectively what the real Organization XIII is, given that their ultimate goal is the same as Master Xehanort's in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. |

Soundtrack Dissonance |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_abad35b4 |
comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: Peaceful classical music plays in Symphony of Sorcery as you wander around beating the living daylights out of Dream Eaters who are trying to kill you. Even more dissonant is the fact that the standard attack sounds are replaced with musical instrument sounds after a successful hit, like the strumming of a harp. This peaceful music even stays on during the cutscene when Young Xehanort confronts Sora. |

| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_acecb17d |
comment |
Chekhov's Skill: The first world you go to after Traverse Town is likely La Cité des Cloches. The Reality Shift is Faithline, letting you create grindrails of light between enemy dream eaters to quickly zip between and attack all of them. Since these are world exclusive, you don't use it again unless you return to this world. In the final world, Riku is looking for Sora and finds the first Dream Eater Sora made, a Meow Wow, across a giant abyss. Riku wonders how to get across, when the first Dream Eater he made, a Komory Bat, appears to Riku and gives him the idea to use Dreamline, which is Faithline between two ally Dream Eaters to get across. |

Remixed Level: Fourth and fifth districts have been added to Traverse Town. The World That Never Was is the ruined version, combined with visual elements of Xemnas's World of Nothing. It also traps Sora in a dream within a dream, while Riku gets to explore its dream version because he dove into Sora's dreams after Destiny Islands. Riku manages to break free and wake up in the real World That Never Was, but Sora's lack of resistance against the darkness serves to immediately shatter his heart after fighting Xemnas. |

Celestial Deadline: All but stated to be the reason why the real Organization XIII leaves in the climax rather than simply attempt the ritual again after Lea foils it; the Xehanorts cannot physically exist there simultaneously for long, and are forced to return to their respective timelines. The exact nature of this is unclear. |

It Makes Sense in Context: Specifically invoked with the trailers for the game, which do spoil quite a bit. However, due to the game's well-known bizarre nature and dream-like setting (known long before the game was released), the spoilery scenes don't make any sense without actually playing the game. |

Color-Coded Characters: Sora seems to be getting a magenta motif, while Riku is sky blue. This is reflecting in their clothing color schemes being much more simplified, Riku wearing pale yellow and white with blue, and Sora wearing black, silver and red. Turns out to be some subtle foreshadowing — Riku has the Light Is Good outfit and passes his exam, while Sora is in the Red and Black and Evil All Over outfit and has his heart corrupted by Xehanort. |

As flat out stated in the secret ending of Re:coded, Master Xehanort has returned now that his Heartless (Ansem) and Nobody (Xemnas) have been destroyed. However, his Heartless and Nobody end up being subversions. They were pulled from a time before their defeat at the hands of Sora by Young Xehanort, and the latter makes it clear that they have to return eventually, and that their destruction cannot be averted in any way. Master Xehanort reforming is proof of that. |

Dies Differently in Adaptation: Frollo's death is played off differently in Riku's story. Instead of plummeting to his death when the gargoyle he is standing on breaks off, he is blown off of the church by Wargoyle. |

Dull Surprise |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_c1b2c63f |
comment |
Dull Surprise: Young Xehanort. Quite jarring, considering how hammy his other selves are. Frighteningly, it doesn't feel out of character for this particular Xehanort though, serving to make him seem creepier, kind of like Billy Zane's Ansem in the original game. Xemnas is very similar in this regard, since he doesn't bother to yell or shout like he did in Kingdom Hearts II and just remains solemn. |

Xanatos Gambit |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_c32ff031 |
comment |
Xanatos Gambit: The villains' overarching plan turns out to have spanned other installments in the Kingdom Hearts series and accounted for The Hero's victories in those games. First to gather his 13 Seekers of Darkness, his memories were used by Xemnas to transform the members of Organization XIII into Xehanort clones. If Xemnas succeeded, then he would have his Seekers. If he failed, not a problem; Xehanort's plan involved time travel, so most of his Seekers were primed and ready across the time stream anyway. The goal in this game was to turn Sora into one of his Seekers. If it worked, he'd have his final Seeker of Darkness and would be ready to go. If he failed; Sora would instead be a Guardian of Light which he needed anyway. And finally, in the slim chance the Keyblade wielders don't play ball as the seven Guardians of Light, Xehanort can still recreate the χ-blade by using the seven Princesses of Heart, which the Keyblade wielders can't allow for obvious reasons, thus forcing their hand anyway. |

| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_c33c51b2 |
comment |
Outside-the-Box Tactic: One way to make Sora's fight with Xemnas easier is to intentionally fail his Desperation Attack. While succeeding at it does stun the boss for a few seconds, it also shifts him to his second phase which is Immune to Flinching, has stronger attacks, and is much more aggressive. Failing keeps him in phase 1, making things more managable. |

Shout-Out |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Symphony of Sorcery's Reality Shift is named "Fantasmic" in the Japanese version, referencing the Fantasmic! show at the Disney Theme Parks. The Thunderaffe can gain the disposition "Photon Don" The Electricorn's profile asks, "Do electric unicorns dream of androids?" The Tatsu Blaze's profile tells you to "prepare for burnination". "It's his game now! The only way to win is not to play!" The shout out is kept intact in the world based on TRON: Legacy. Decussation, Sora's link with the frog-knight-like "Kyroo" spirits is very similar to the "X-Strike" Dual Tech from Chrono Trigger, which was performed by Crono and Frog. The Flick Rush opponents and senders of randomized Portals are characters from The World Ends with You and various Final Fantasy titles. At one point, the villain outstretches his hand and says "Come with me." In the Japanese version, after Young Xehanort's HP in his first phase has been depleted he shouts "Toki yo, tomare"note This literally means "Time, stop!", which is what it gets translated to in the English version. The description for the Drill Sye Dream Eater reads: "Once upon a time, there was a powerful rhino that could transform into a ball of spikes but hated magic...This is his story." Sora's Link with the owl is called Fly-by Knight |

Two Lines, No Waiting: Storyline-wise, there's no waiting. However, it averts this in a highly acceptable way—whenever you drop, the other campaign is essentially paused, although bosses and Dream Eaters respawn and are reset. |

Wacky Sound Effect: In the Symphony of Sorcery world, the standard sound effects of Sora and Riku's Keyblade attacks connecting with Dream Eaters are replaced with the sounds of musical instruments. Sora and Riku also lose their battle grunts here. The Guardian Bell Keyblade makes a church bell sound whenever it lands a hit. For a tiny bell, it sure makes a deep ring. The Sweet Dreams Keyblade takes the cake in this regard, emitting all the manner of cartoony sound effects with each hit. |

Getting the secret ending as always requires certain gameplay accomplishments, but also requires you to answer three particular questions during the ending with the exact right answers (those being "Losing something that's important", "My close friends", and "to recover something important").

Indeed, just about everything that has happened in the series up to this point was planned by the original Xehanort in advance, though having engineered a Stable Time Loop probably helped with that. |

It also served as a way for the Organization XIII to track Sora down and guide him to The World That Never Was. |

comment |
Updated Re-release: 2.8's Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance HD, which probably has the most changes made to it of any of the games remade for the Compilation Rereleases. These include, among a graphical upgrade optimized for 60 FPS and other minor changes, most of the Reality Shifts being reworked from touchscreen controls to traditional ones, three new Spiritsnote Tubguin Ace, Catanuki, and Beatalike, the Fountain minigame being completely overhauled, and the Treasure Goggles (which were dependent on the 3DS's AR camera feature, something the PS4 lacks)) being entirely replaced by the Candy Goggles as a new minigame. |

Decoy Protagonist: Similar to Terra and Ventus in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Sora is the decoy protagonist, while Riku's story brings the real conclusion. |

Red and Black and Evil All Over: Used as a form of Foreshadowing — Sora's outfits usually are some mix of yellow, red, black, blue, and white, but in this game his new clothing is primarily red and black with some white. By the end of the game, Sora has been corrupted by Xehanort and has to be fought to free his heart from darkness. |

Helpful Mook: As described above, the Spirit Dream Eaters can be created by Sora and Riku, and used as either standard teammates in battle or as Dual Links to give unique powers to either character. They can also be moved around the map using Sora's Reality Shift. With regard to the story, the Dream Eaters lead both Sora and Riku to the "Key of Sleep", which is presumably required to open to Sleeping Keyholes. |

Composite Character: Gameplay-wise, Riku seems to be a mix of Terra and Aqua in addition to his own previous appearances as an NPC/boss/ally. He gets many of Terra's exclusive commands. but has a dark version of Aqua's Barrier and a slightly different version of Ghost Drive, as well as Doubleflight. |

comment |
A Glitch in the Matrix: Joshua is clued to the fact that the two separate versions of Traverse Town aren't parallel worlds by the sheer fact that Neku and Rhyme have less time on their "clock" than their respective partners, something only possible if time flows differently between two worlds, which, in turn, is not possible if the two worlds are supposed to be running parallel to each other. He informs Riku about this and warns him about a possible trap related to his and Sora's dreams. |

Nerf |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_e545e190 |
comment |
Nerf: Dodge Roll has fewer invincibility frames than other games in the series. This can throw off people who were used to dodging everywhere in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, especially against bosses. Remember those fun overpowered attacks from Birth By Sleep like Mega Flare, Time Splicer, etc? Remember how you didn't take damage from attacks while using them? Not anymore. Sure, Dark Splicer is awesome, but make sure you use Curaga before using it and have Curaga selected for when you finish because you can die in the middle of the attack now. Mega Flare is still powerful and fires quick enough that you'd really only get hit if you try to fire it in the middle of an enemy's attack. The Ignite status is indirectly nerfed with the removal of Ignite as a command. It can still affect certain bosses, but is now only caused by certain physical commands that put you in harm' s way, making the "Ignite and run" strategy from Birth by Sleep much less viable. |

Arch-Enemies: Ansem is this to Riku, a fact Riku reflects on. Xemnas, despite being the incarnation of Xehanort who harasses Sora the most, averts this, as neither feel any particular, personal malice towards each other until the end of Sora's story, when Xemnas reveals just how bad he is, disgusting Sora with his callous treatment of hearts and the Organization. It's this sudden rage at Xemnas that plays a key factor in the damaging of Sora's heart, as Xehanort intended all along. |

GameplayAndStoryIntegration |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b |
comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: Sora's special attacks consist of teaming up with his Dream Eaters to utilize a powerful attack. Riku merges with his to enhance his attacks for devastating combos. This is because Riku is effectively a Dream Eater himself within Sora's dreams. Similarly, the Drop mechanic itself overall. Riku is effectively a Dream Eater within Sora's dreams, so of course he can't be awake/asleep at the same time as Sora. Another Riku one: despite he and Sora largely having similar stats, there's one subtle difference between them: Riku has a natural resistance to Darkness-based attacks, a result of the brutal journey he went through before the events of the game. Once more, for Riku: Defeating Ansem kicks Riku from the Sleeping Worlds. While you're out of that realm (the game puts a portal nearby for you to dive back to the World Map should you need/want to), the Drop Gauge is gone. Sora and Riku share an inventory (items, spells and abilities, and even Dream Eaters) and you only need one copy of a command or Dream Eater for both characters to use it (One Thunder spell can be equipped to both Sora and Riku at the same time.), as opposed to needing a copy for each character. Since Riku is inside Sora's dreams as a Spirit, he's actually accessing Sora's inventory. |

Time-Limit Boss: The Drop gauge still empties during boss fights, and switching characters forces the fight to restart once you switch back. After completing Sora's path, this is no longer the case for Riku until he finishes his scenario. Ironically, the boss with control of time is not one. |

Big Damn Heroes: Lea saves Minnie when she's being held hostage by Maleficent and Pete. Even when he's reduced to nothing but a heart, Ventus manages one of these when Sora has fallen into darkness. When it seems like Xehanort is going to overtake him completely, Ventus' heart comes down and envelops Sora in his Keyblade armor, protecting him from the darkness and buying Riku valuable time to recover Sora's sleeping body. Three times in the same scene where Riku appears to have been cornered by the new Organization: Mickey appears and freezes them with Stopza. Then Lea appears to prevent Sora from becoming Master Xehanort's thirteenth vessel. Then Donald and Goofy appear to save Riku and Mickey from Ansem's Guardian. |

Unskilled, but Strong: Superboss Julius is a hulking brute who basically runs headlong around the arena, but his attacks will take off most, if not all of your HP should it connect. This trope is the reason why Yen Sid puts Sora and Riku through the Mark of Mastery Test in the first place. While their self-taught styles have served them well to this point, the Keyblade has further secrets they haven't discovered and need to know to prepare for Master Xehanort's return. |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: No matter how many Dream Eaters you create, only three can be in your party and only two can actually fight alongside you at a time. |

Wake-Up Call Boss |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f |
comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Rinzler. He hits very hard and quickly, has a lot of health, and regularly messes with your interface by turning the arena upside down. Earlier than that is Wargoyle. For Riku, he flies around the battlefield firing hard-hitting attacks as he does so. For Sora, he is even worse thanks to using many powerful attacks one after another in long combo chains as his health decreases. |

Ambidextrous Sprite: An odd 3D example—Musketeer Mickey's hat will sometimes swap sides during cutscenes depending on what angle the camera starts relative to him. |

Good Armor, Evil Armor: After Sora falls into darkness, Riku is forced to fight a Nightmare that takes the form of Ventus' armor, imprisoning Sora within itself. Being a construct of darkness, it is completely black with the Nightmare Dream Eater symbol on its visor. |

Laser Blade |
| | Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] (Video Game) / int_f8cddfb2 |
comment |
The fight with Young Xehanort sees him do a number of things that he did in Birth by Sleep. He summons the "No Name" Keyblade with the exact same motion as he used to summon his blades before the battle in Birth by Sleep, and can turn it into energy whips to attack Riku. When he stops time, he starts using the same energy blades as in that fight, and defends the clock with many of his old moves, including his clones, his basic Laser Blade combo, the X-shaped energy waves, and a combination of Raging Storm and Whirlwind to the Void. Also, the battle borrows elements from the boss fights with both Master Xehanort and Terra-Xehanort, including his initial fighting stance and his penchant for using Dark Volley/Zero Shot. |

R-Rated Opening: While the games aren't strangers to darker stuff, this is the first title in the series that begins on a very bleak note - namely, Terra-Xehanort stabbing Braig (in a first-person perspective) with Master Xehanort's Keyblade after having done the very same thing with Ansem the Wise's other apprentices. |

Trippy Finale Syndrome: Oh boy. The game is actually not that loopy for a story about dreams until the last world, which pulls out all the stops, apparently to make up for the story leading up to it being far too normal. |

The Power of Friendship: Powerful enough for Sora to break through CLU's reprogramming of Tron, despite this Tron not actually being the one that Sora knows (the Grid's Tron is the original; Sora befriended his copy in Space Paranoids). |

Department of Redundancy Department: A running trend among the Dream Eaters, at least in terms of their Japanese names. For example: Koumori Bat ("Bat Bat"), Kuma Pandar ("Bear Panda(r)"), Neko Cat ("Cat Cat")... The English game adds some pizzazz in the form of creative spellings — for example, Komory Bat and Necho Cat. |
