The Gimmick Card.
The Gimmick Card is a unique card in Chain of Memories and its remake Re:Chain of Memories. It only appears during a select few bossfights, in a similar manner to friend cards (with which it shares the green border), although the requirements and odds for the Gimmick Card depends on the bossfight. It depicts a green Hidden Mickey and always has a value of zero, although it cannot be broken by any card. Once used it will generate a helpful effect to aid against the boss.
