DISCLAIMER: I'll probably write this one up quickly when I have the time, seeing as its a shortish game and I'm on the Xemnas and Ansem fights



Welcome Friends, to the first 3ds walkthrough I've ever done. who am I you're asking? why I'm the lord of not finishing  walkthroughs, the guy that used to play a big part in this place, but disappeared for two years, yes, it is I DarkestShadow. My true name is of no importance, for in this realm you are my minions, and you'll follow what I say to the letter (or not, its your choice, I really couldn't give a shit ).

Enough with all that crap, on to the walkthrough. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is not only easily the best portable game (sorry Days you were beaten easily) besides Birth by Sleep, but also one of the strangest, utilising new movement controls and forfeiting the classic party strategy of Donald and Goofy for a more Pokémon-like company, which range from the stupid to the downright badass, but more on those later. Part of the attraction to this game is ability to play as both Riku and Sora for an entire campaign instead of quick little bursts in Kingdom Hearts II or as a multiplayer character in Days. So cool :D

Seeing as theres only is one version of KH3D (as it shall be known henceforth) and no plans for a future version, unless or square shaped overlords decide to make a fancy non 3d ps4/5/pc hd edition in which this walkthrough becomes useless, I'll be doing my review on the 3DS version.

Also, be prepared, if you haven't seen one of my walkthroughs before, then you'll be in for a bit of swearing, a few random stories, a bit of fellow editor mocking, and god knows what else. if you don't like that, go see somebody else's work, LA has one *sighs*

How to play Kingdom Hearts 3D
Before we begin, there are a few things you're gonna need. First off you need two working human hands, Two super-ultra-mega-HD viewing screens implanted in your head known as eyes (the ability to see in 2D or 3D is optional though). hearing isn't required, but recommended if you want to hear the voice acting and absolutely wonderful Soundtrack. Reading is also required (I don't how you're reading this if you can't)

For technology you're gonna need either a 3DS or a 2DS, preferably a 3DS, because.. well, it isn't shit, none of the original DS line can run this game. Next you'll need a copy of the game, which can be gained at your local video game store, the internet, or the 3DS eShop, though I would go with the hard copy. finally insert the cart with the aforementioned hands, and away you go (get a parent or guardian to perform the task mentioned above if necessary).

The Controls
Controls in KH3D are a bit different from previous handheld games, mainly because it's on the 3DS, but also because of the added functionality of the circle pad. is attack, lets you jump around,  lets you do multiple commands such as block or dodge roll etc, more on that later,  uses the currently highlighted command on the deck, and is used in conjunction with the D-Pad,  and  are the camera when used singularly, and lock on when tapped together and finally the circle pad is to move around.

Flowmotion
Flowmotion is a new feature in a game packed with new features, this one being the one touted the most and used the least. basically, it lets you jump around areas super quick in all your glowing pink glory by approaching a flatish surface and pressing, and let off some powerful attacks when you press overall its a cool system, and lets the gameplay, well, flow more.

Drops
Chances are you're gonna get half way through a fight when suddenly you "Drop" into either Sora or Riku, and while at times this may seem annoying, it has its rewards, because if you play a level smart, then you have a higher chance of recieving good rewards at the end of the drop.

Dream Eaters
Seeing as this game is based in worlds known as Sleeping worlds, theres not going to be any Heartless, Nobodies, or Unversed in this game (not that there is gonna be unversed again). Instead there are new enemies known as Dream Eaters, but they're also allies. As for every "Nightmare" Dream Eater, there is a "Spirit" Dream eater, featuring a more colourful palate compared to its dark companion. These creatures will be your allies for this game, and you can have a total of 3 with you at all times, with two being active. Dream eaters have two bars around their picture, the green one being health (obviously), and the pink one being link ability. Once the pink bar is full, you can tap on the icon and the Spirit and Sora/Riku will do a special attack.

Now then, Shall we begin?
