In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', the opening of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and the opening of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Sora's outfit is primarily designed after Mickey's appearance. He wears a red jumpsuit that has a long zipper running through the middle, ending with puffy shorts. He wears a crown-chain on his left side and a loosely worn blue belt. Over his jumpsuit, Sora wears a black hoodie that is blue on the inside, and black on the outside with white sleeves ending in grey edging. He wears white gloves on his hands with blue, black and yellow straps. He wears the crown pendant around his neck. His shoes are mainly yellow and black with belt-straps holding them closed. The lower portions are grey and end with a small triangular patch of blue.

 

In the original PlayStation 2 release of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', Sora's hair was a darker brown color. In the HD remasters of those games (which uses his model from the beginning of ''Dream Drop Distance''), Sora's hair color was lightened and closer to his hair color in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the prologue and epilogue of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage'', and the [[Olympus]] episode of ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Sora wears a black revision of his ''Kingdom Hearts'' clothing. The hoodie is colored black, with silver pauldron-like additions to his sleeves and white lining. His undershirt is a navy blue with a red patch in the center. His pants, similar to {{w|chaps}}, are colored black on the outside, and a navy blue on the inside, lined with silver-white edging. Yellow straps criss-cross around his pants, held together with a black belt. The pants feature red pockets with a black cross over them. His gloves are colored black on the outside and white on the inside with a yellow line running around them. He also wears large black-yellow shoes with silver soles, a zipper running across the top, and black straps holding them together with buckles here and there. Sora's crown pendant is present on this attire.

 

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', when Sora uses most [[Formchange]]s, his clothes do not change. The sole exception is [[Rage Form]], which is identical to [[Antiform]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Sora wears an outfit which appears to be a modified version of his attire from ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. Sora has overall been given an older look with shorter, flatter hair, and a sleeker outfit than any of Sora's other outfits in the series, with Sora sporting smaller shoes and pants which are less baggy than ones he wore previously. He retains his signature crown necklace.

Sora wears a black jacket with grey pockets and a stripe of the same color on each sleeve. The hood, sleeves and jacket have a red lining, and six buttons can be seen on the front. Underneath, Sora wears a black tanktop<!--shown in a cutscene where a breeze moves Sora's jacket https://i.redd.it/aev6c1hm4vh21.jpg--> with a V-neck style collar and a white lining. His gloves are replaced with gauntlets with a similar color scheme to his jacket. The gauntlets have red linings and grey circles on the backs, with yellow buckled straps wrapped around Sora's wrists. The palms of his hands are exposed.

Sora's shorts are black, and are roughly the same length as they are in his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' attire, with several grey pockets. A red band wraps around each pant leg. His shoes also resemble those of his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' outfit, with the blue straps and zipper now removed.

[[Valor Form]] is a form introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It turns Sora's clothes red and white with the ''{{w|fleur-de-lis}}'' emblem on each sleeve and pant leg. It is obtained at the same time Sora receives his new clothes at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and costs 3 Drive bars. In this form, Sora wields two Keyblades, and merges with Goofy, removing him from the battle for the duration of the transformation. Sora also becomes very dexterous, sometimes even spinning the Keyblade on a single finger during a combo. No matter what world Sora is in, Sora's hands glow light red and flicker with red electricity. When Sora runs in Valor Form, flakes of red energy fly off of his hands in a streak. To transform into Valor Form, Goofy must be in the active party, and must not be KO'ed.

[[Wisdom Form]] is a form introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It turns Sora's clothing blue and black, with an emblem, resembling blue flames, on the ends of his pants and sleeves. It is obtained after Sora defeats Pete in Timeless River and restores peace to Disney Castle, and costs 3 Drive bars. Sora wields only one Keyblade in this form, and Donald must be in the active party in order to use this form. While in Wisdom Form, specks of light float around Sora's legs. There is also a blue magical mist surrounding Sora's feet that turns into two light blue wisps, one rising from each foot, when Sora slides across landscape. Sora's ability to slide across the ground covers his entire body with him sliding across the ground on his back during some combos. The only time Sora actually stands is when he lands from a jump. These wisps circle Sora in a manner similar to a double helix when Sora is stationary. Sora moves acrobatically in this form, spinning the Keyblade idly behind his back when not moving, and flipping around when shooting magic bullets. He also tosses the Keyblade into the air when he jumps, catching it when he reaches his height.

[[Limit Form]] is a form introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. It is obtained alongside the Oathkeeper when Sora returns to Twilight Town to look for Kairi, and changes Sora's clothes into the same colors and style of the clothes he wore in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''. However, a red crown appears on his knees and sleeves, whereas in the previous games there were none. This is the only Drive Form where Sora has no auras of light surrounding him (although whenever he enters a new area, his torso glows red for a short time and a few specks of light fall off of him). This is also the only Form Sora can use while he is alone. Using this form takes 4 Drive bars, and will not make any party members disappear if there are any when he enters this form. In this form, Sora wields various abilities he had in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''. His combo finishers become Zantetsuken and Ripple Drive on the ground, and Hurricane Period in the air respectively. He also gains 4 Limits based on the special attacks he had previously: Sonic Rave (Sonic Blade), Last Arcanum (Ars Arcanum), Strike Raid, and Infinity (Ragnarok). Another of his old abilities, Dodge Roll, also becomes this form's Growth Ability, and Sora's Guard stance changes to the one from ''Kingdom Hearts'' while in this form.

[[Master Form]] is a form introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It has a yellow and black color scheme, and is received from King Mickey after you reunite with him in Hollow Bastion. It is the last Drive Form that Sora gains through the story, apart from Final Form, which is obtained through gameplay. The symbols on his pants are three black crosses arranged in a fancy overlapping pattern. When in Master Form on any world, pale yellow sparkles constantly fall off Sora and create somewhat of a streak behind him when running. Also, the floating Keyblade is held in place by a yellow aura surrounding Sora's hand and the Keyblade he is physically holding seems to have deep yellow electricity flowing through it. Using this form costs 4 Drive bars, and there must be 2 people other than Sora in the active party (though it does not matter who). While in this form, Sora almost exclusively attacks with aerial combos.

[[Final Form]] is a form introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Unlike the other Forms, Final Form is not granted to Sora directly, but instead Sora is given the potential to randomly enter Final Form while trying to enter a Form after defeating Roxas. After it has been entered once, it is added to the Drive menu like a standard Form, and can thereafter only be entered by choice. Due to this, the easiest way to obtain this Form is to enter the Cerberus Cup in the Olympus Coliseum, which quickly refills the Drive Gauge. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the Two Become One keychain makes this process much simpler through its ''Light & Darkness'' ability, which will make Sora automatically enter Antiform or Final Form if it hasn't been activated yet. This form changes Sora's clothes to silvery white and black, with the symbols on his pants somewhat resembling an eye with a wind pattern. This may be a parallel to the Anti-Form, with Anti-Form representing Sora's Heartless side, and Final Form representing, through Roxas, his Nobody side. Each Keyblade seems to move with an arm, though when Sora stops moving they hover behind him. Thus, every move is an attack in itself. No matter what world Sora is on, while in Final Form, he never touches the ground unless he lands from a jump. Sora's hair and clothes slowly flow as if he is being held by the wind. His clothes systematically flicker white while in the form, and there are two large sparkles of pure white light that orbit around Sora, with a white wisp following them. When Sora is standing still, his Keyblades hover behind him, almost like folded wings. When he floats (which he does instead of walking and running), they open, as if Sora is flying.

===Antiform===

{{Q|An image of you overcome by the power of darkness flows into your mind.|Mirror in the Mysterious Tower describing Antiform|''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''}}

[[Antiform]] is a form introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It is strongly reminiscent of the [[AntiSora]] Heartless from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', and Sora's ability to enter this form is due to his transformation into a [[Sora's Heartless|Shadow]].{{?}}<!--cite to journal--><ref name="Famitsu">'''''Famitsu'' Interview'''; '''Interviewer''': "Is Antiform originated from when Sora got turned into a Heartless?" / ''' Tetsuya Nomura''': "Story-wise, yes. Drives are very strong so Antiform exists as a side-effect of using too much power. System-wise, I wanted to create something strong but troublesome." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-2006-Nomura-Interview-2569 Translation by KHInsider].</ref> Specifically, Sora's Antiform has more feral behavior in which it runs about on all fours, and instead of using the Keyblade in this form, Sora attacks with claws on his hands. Aesthetically, Sora's skin and hair become ink black, his eyes glow yellow like a Heartless, and his clothes become black with blue accents. Furthermore, he constantly emits Darkness from his arms and back in the form of misty black and violet wisps.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Sora's mask changes to fit his Drive Forms. Valor Form's mask takes the form of a demonic, red, {{ff|Bomb (creature)|Bomb-like}} creature with a large, ''fleur-de-lis'' symbol near its top. Wisdom Form's mask resembles a {{ff|Black Mage}}. Limit Form's mask is an elegant, curled heart with white edges and a black and red checkerboard pattern on its center. Master Form's mask is an unevenly stitched fusion of Valor Form and Wisdom Form's masks, with Valor Form's on the right half and Wisdom Form's on the left. Final Form's mask is a bronze crown. Antiform's mask resembles a [[Shadow]] Heartless.

Exclusive to the ''Final Mix'' version, in Christmas Town, Sora retains the dark, ashen physical appearance, boots, pants, and legs wrappings from his Halloween Town costume. The rest of his clothing, however, changes radically. His mask is replaced by a large, black hat with a white fur rim and a puff ball on the tip, similar to [[Santa Claus]]'s, that is pulled over the right half of his face. He wears a black shirt with white fur lining, silver crown buttons lining the front, and a faded, brown belt with a silver buckle around his waist and over the shirt. His arms are shown to be unusually thin and have a slight brown tint to them. His gloves turn black and have white fur lining around the cuffs. Sora's Keyblade is slightly brighter in this form than it is in his Hallowen Town Form.

The color of Sora's hat and the back of his shirt gain a slight tint to match the Drive Form he is currently in. His hat and the back of his shirt also gain a symbol to match the appropriate form. When Sora is in Valor Form, his hat gains a red ''fleur-de-lis'' and the shirt is adorned with a thorn pattern. Wisdom Form's hat and shirt both sport a blue flame. Limit Form's hat and shirt both sport a white crown. There is a single gold cross on Master Form's hat, and several more on the shirt. Final Form's hat is emblazoned with a silver, N-shaped rune, and the shirt bears a pair of wings. Antiform's hat and shirt are both adorned by a stylized Heartless emblem.

In Timeless River, Sora resembles a stylized version of his earliest incarnation, in the original ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. His clothing is much simpler in this form than it was in his first appearance, sporting almost none of the straps and zippers it originally had. As with almost all characters in the Timeless River, Sora is colored completely in shades of white, grey, and black. His face, arms, and figure have a much more cartoonish look, and more closely match the {{W|Rubber hose animation|rubber hose-style}} of cartoons. Sora also transforms into his Timeless River version while using the [[Phantom Rush]] and [[Noise Flux]] [[Shotlock]]s.

When using most Drive Forms, Sora's physical appearance does not change. Instead, the icon of his head near the [[HP]] Bar tints color slightly to reflect the Form he takes. The tint is red for Valor Form, blue for Wisdom Form, purple for Limit Form, yellow for Master Form, and white for Final Form. When Sora enters Antiform, he becomes a black silhouette with grey eyes, a change that is also reflected in the icon.

When using Drive Forms, his armor's circuitry changes color to match the Drive Form he is in. In Valor Form, the circuits are red, in Wisdom Form, they become a darker shade of blue, and Master Form's circuitry is yellow. Limit Form's armor and circuits are colored to vaguely match with the colors of Sora's original outfit; his torso, helmet, and arms are silver, his pants are red, his shoes are yellow, and there is a blue band around his waist and collar. In Final Form, the armor's color becomes more predominantly grey and the circuits become silver. Antiform's armor is black and the circuitry is grey.

In the Pride Lands, Sora takes the form of a lion cub. His fur is predominantly an ashy shade of brown, though his toes, belly, and the fur around his mouth are very light grey. His mane is shaped like his normal hairstyle, and is the same light brown color. There is a tuft of light brown fur on the tip of his tail, and he has three whiskers on either side of his nose. His eyes are bright blue and his sclera are yellow. His silver crown necklace still hangs from his neck in this form. He holds his Keyblade in his mouth, though when he opens the world's Gate or enters a Limit with Simba, he holds the Keyblade with his tail.
