The {{nihongo|'''Drop System'''|}} is a game mechanic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It allows the player to switch control between [[Sora]] and [[Riku]], allowing each to progress independently through the game. One character is presumed to be "asleep" while the other is active. The player will drop into the next character once the {{nihongo|'''Drop Gauge'''|ドロップゲージ|Doroppu Gēji}} is depleted, or they can drop manually by tapping the "Drop" button that appears on the World Map, in the main menu, in the pause menu, or at a [[Save Point]]. | The {{nihongo|'''Drop System'''|}} is a game mechanic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''.

The Drop Gauge has three differently-colored bars that continuously deplete, one by one, from blue to yellow to pink. The gauge's speed is indicated by the multiplier that accompanies it. Once the third bar empties, {{nihongo|'''Bonus Time'''|ボーナスタイム|Bōnasu Taimu}} begins, and the speed multiplier is replaced with a final 30 second countdown | The Drop Gauge has three differently-colored bars that continuously deplete, one by one, from blue to yellow to pink. The gauge's speed is indicated by the multiplier that accompanies it. Once the third bar empties, {{nihongo|'''Bonus Time'''|ボーナスタイム|Bōnasu Taimu}} begins, and the speed multiplier is replaced with a final 30 second countdown. After the 30 seconds is up, the character will fall asleep and Drop, and player control will pass to the other character. When the player returns to the first character, play will resume where it left off. If the character drops during a boss battle, the battle will start over from scratch when they resume, as if it were a [[Game Over]]. | ||
Negative [[status effect]]s like {{c|Sleep|status}} increase the gauge's speed, as does contact with the pink gas released from drop traps. The player can restore the gauge and reset the drop rate by using items like [[Drop-Me-Not]], [[Drop-Me-Never]], or [[Megalixir]], and the Drop Decelerator bonus slows the gauge down, as does guarding with [[Wake-up Block]]. | |||

Some boosts are available in three different levels after being obtained, each one with better effects, but with a higher DP cost.
