*The combat system and HUD are revised for ease-of-use with influence from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the [[Summons]] menu moved to the fourth [[Command Menu]] slot (including the manual-Dismiss command), the commands that previously occupied that slot being reworked into [[Reaction Command]]s used by {{button|t}}, and {{button|rana}} controls the camera instead of {{button|l2}} and {{button|r2}}. However, {{button|t}} still serves to call Donald and Goofy to Sora whenever a Reaction Command does not prevent the input.

*The Enemy Card received from [[Riku Replica]], originally known as the Riku card, has been renamed as the Riku Replica card for the HD version.

Sir Christopher Lee, who originally voiced [[DiZ]], was unable to provide new dialogue, so Corey Burton redubbed all of his lines. The late Wayne Allwine, who originally voiced [[Mickey Mouse]], was retained on the cast list despite Mickey's lines being voiced by Bret Iwan. In addition, several other actors whose roles in the original release were archived sound recordings are also credited, even though their characters do not appear in any of the new cutscenes (such as Haley Joel Osment and Jim Cummings). Several themes were rearranged, including the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' rendition of "[[Dearly Beloved]]".

==Reported bugs==
Due to possible oversights over the transition to the 16:9 resolution, some graphical bugs are present, notably in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', including:
*The display of the player's stacked cards, when used, is offset to the left, instead of being displayed in the very middle of the screen.
*The darkness effect that is supposed to reveal the true form of the Fake Attack Card dropped by {{ns|Game|Zexion}} is offset to the left, instead of appearing on the card's sprite itself.
