Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

<!--Talk about instrumentation differences for each between original and HD remakes; difference in tone between versions (EX: 3 has a minor (??) tone, definitely more menacing and ominous)

As with other field themes, "Blast Away! -Gummi Ship II-" has a brief introduction - this time of two measures. For the original Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep versions, the instrumentation includes: synthesizer, strings, drums, trumpet, oboe, orchestral bells, snare drum, and electronics. In the HD remake, the instrumentation is slightly different, now consisting of: synthesizer, strings, drums, oboe, soprano saxophone , orchestral bells, and electronics.
The instrumentation includes: a complete strings section- violin, viola, cello, and string bass, flute, oboe, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, strings section, orchestral bells, snare drum, crash cymbals, and timpani. Compared to "Blast Away! -Gummi Ship I-" and "Blast Away! -Gummi Ship II-", the third variation of the "Blast Away!" theme is much darker in tone. The once cheerful, major key shared in the first and second versions are no more, as the melody in this version is played in a minor key. Although more ominous and intense in nature, this tone is befitting as this is the final Gummi Ship route in the game. -->
