The '''Dolphin''' is found in [[Atlantica]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. Flounder calls them "giant fish." It gives [[Sora]] and his party a ride past the currents that block the passage to the Shipwreck. The Dolphin in the "Undersea Valley" will be available even if there are Heartless but the player will be unable to ride the Dolphin so one must defeat the Heartless before riding the Dolphin to reach the "Shipwreck".

The '''dolphin''' is found in [[Atlantica]] in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. The dolphin in the [[Undersea Valley]] is available even if there are [[Heartless]], but [[Sora]] is unable to ride the dolphin until the Heartless are defeated.


==Story==
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
===Kingdom Hearts===
During Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s first visit to Atlantica, the dolphin swims around in several places. [[Flounder]] calls it a "giant fish". It helps the party to reach the [[Sunken Ship]], particularly when Sora does not yet have access to the [[Mermaid Kick]] ability. It also leads Sora to other places in Atlantica if he lets go of the dolphin before reaching the Sunken Ship.
In Kingdom Hearts, the animal plays a really minor role only leading Sora and company to "Shipwreck" It can also lead you to other places in Atlantica if you let go before reaching the "Shipwreck" It's help is not needed after Sora and company gets the Mermaid Kick ability.


===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
===Kingdom Hearts II===
In Sora, Donald, and Goofy's second visit to Atlantica, dolphins like the one who helped Sora a year ago participate in the first song, "[[Swim This Way]]". Later, several dolphins dance along to "[[Under the Sea]]" along with Sebastian and Ariel, and more dolphins take part in the performance of the final song, "[[A New Day is Dawning]]".
In Kingdom Hearts 2, the dolphin is a singer in a few songs

==Design==
==Other appearances==
The dolphin is a medium-sized, cetacean mammal with a dark grey body. It has two oval shaped eyes and closely resembles the features of a {{w|common dolphin}}. The dolphin has two flippers, a long dorsal fin, a blow hole, and a horizontal fluke split into two by a notch in the middle. The horizontal tail separates this dolphin from real {{w|dolphin|dolphins}} in that instead of having horizontal tail fins, this dolphin's tail fins are vertical.
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+]]'', Dolphins are present in the game as a minor character, notably during one of the singing missions.


==Origin==
==Gallery==
The dolphin first appeared in the 1989 Disney film, ''{{w|The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid}}''. The dolphin appears twice in the film with both features being a minor supporting role. The first appearance is during the song "Under the Sea". Shortly into the song, the dolphin is shown swimming around, content and happy with its life in the sea. The dolphin is last shown at [[Prince Eric]] and [[Ursula|Vanessa]]'s wedding, where it successfully interrupts the false wedding alongside other sea creatures.
