Practical Application is a minigame present in Olympus Coliseum during Mission 39 of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[]
Story[]
In Mission 39, Roxas goes to collect hearts at Olympus Coliseum. He finds out from Phil that there is a giant Heartless in The Coliseum, and Hercules is nowhere to be found. As Roxas fights, he continues to have flashbacks of a boy in red. After he defeats the Heartless, Phil coaxes Roxas into training, where he is tasked to collect Hearts.
Strategy[]
In this mini-game, Roxas is tasked by Phil to obtain as many points as he can by defeating Soldiers or smashing barrels within a minute and 20 seconds. Hit as many as hard and as fast as you can, and pay attention for the darker colored but very useful exploding barrels to take several out at once. Outright destroying the Soldiers with your Keyblade will not help your score, and watch your aim, as the crescent nature of this course lends itself well to accidentally smacking barrels into other barrels, doing you little good and resetting any chains you might get from eliminating multiple Soldiers in a row. Xigbar will reward the player with Bronze on days 119 to 122 if the player scores at least 100 points in this mini-game.
