Kingdom hearts 3D : Dream Drop Distance (Nintendo 3DS)


               The two playable characters are Sora and Riku, control of whom rotates throughout the game through the use of a gameplay element called the "Drop" system. This system features a Drop Gauge which gradually depletes on its own over time, automatically switching control between Sora and Riku once it empties. The player is able to keep the gauge from emptying by attacking enemies, and can switch characters at will using save points.

One of the key elements of the game is the "flowmotion" mechanic, allowing the player to utilize the surroundings for movement actions, and attacking with the execution of the Y button. The game's most significant feature is the ability to hunt and collect Dream Eaters, with each individual Dream Eater companion providing Sora and Riku access to varying abilities, attacks, and cooperative actions. Many elements of the game utilize the touch screen, such as throwing enemies or chaining various attacks. The game also has interactive cut-scenes and events. Unlike previous games which used the Gummi Ship as a means of travelling to other worlds, this game makes use of a new mini-game called Dive Mode. During Dive Mode, the character floats towards the following world's gate that can only be opened by collecting a specific number of stars. During Dive Mode, the player will also encounter enemies that can be stopped by using items that can be found while floating.
               The game is compatible with the Circle Pad Pro, which can be used to control the camera. The game also comes with AR functionality, allowing players to play with the Dream Eaters they obtain.
               Dream Drop Distance is a continuation of the events shown in the epilogue of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. The game features a total of seven playable worlds, most of them set in a "world submerged in sleep", with all the Disney-based worlds being introduced in this game based on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pinocchio, Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, Fantasia and Tron: Legacy. The other two playable worlds are Traverse Town and The World That Never Was, while the worlds Twilight Town, Radiant Garden, Disney Castle, Mysterious Tower and Destiny Islands appear in cutscenes.
