The trio defeat the Heartless and introduce themselves. Buzz, suspicious of the newcomers, demands Sora tell him where he had fought the Heartless before.

While in the alternate version of their world, Buzz is able to shoot real lasers from his wrist. It deals little damage, but is his only reliable way to hit floating enemies at range. Buzz's basic attacks deal damage to a small area by slamming his arms on the ground, which can be useful in clearing weak enemies faster. Buzz can also use his wings to attack by spinning around while moving to deal damage to enemies; though if he bumps into another ally, they will be stunned for a second. | ||

He initially believes that he is the real Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger on a mission to defeat his nemesis, the evil Emperor Zurg, and repeatedly attempts to return to space.
