An overlay command appears only during side-scrolling and 3D Shooting segments of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, as replacements for the standard deck commands. In these mini-games, only one command slot is available, causing a newly acquired Overlay command to replace an old one. Unlike regular commands which have reload times, Overlay commands have a set number of uses before they are depleted, except for two which are time-based. Each mini-game has a different set of Overlay commands.

Overlay commands are obtained by picking up diamond-shaped power-ups, which are commonly found throughout each. Each power-up comes in one of four colors; red, blue, yellow, white, and each have their respective element; fire, blizzard, thunder, and aero.
