The Kingdom Key is depicted as a classic {{w|skeleton key}} approximately 3.5' long, with a long silver Keychain extending from the hilt, and a {{w|Hidden Mickey}} token on the end of the Keychain. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the token is formed from three spheres, while in other games the token is flat and seemingly cut from sheet metal. The blade and teeth of the Keyblade are silver, the rain-guard is blue, and the guard is bright gold. The teeth of the Keyblade form the outline of a crown which matches the crown charm Sora wears.

The Kingdom Key's name is reminiscent of the "{{w|Keys of the kingdom}}".  


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Gameplay with the Kingdom Key varies, as its combo is normally influenced by the amount of [[Combo Boost]]s and other Combo influencing abilities the player has equipped. The weapon's base combos in nearly every game are a basic three hit attack. The ground combo consists of a downward swing, a forward thrust, and a left-to-right horizontal slash, with a turning sweep slash as the finisher. The air combo starts with a downward slash, then an upward slash, and finally a mid-air spinning slash for the finisher.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Roxas, Xion, and Sora have the opportunity to wield this weapon: Roxas and Xion, with no gears or the Zero gear equipped, and Sora, with any gear save for the Zero and Pandora gears.

For Roxas and Xion, the gearless Kingdom Key's ground and air combos are the basic three-strike combo, while the Kingdom Key+'s combos are slightly different. The ground combo begins with a downward slash, followed by an upward swing with the capability of knocking the enemy in the air. From here, a {{button|dsy}}-Combo is prompted, which, when executed, has the user perform a jump accompanied by a downward slash. Pressing {{button|dsy}} again has them finish with a sliding swing of the Keyblade. If continued normally, combo concludes with a basic turning slash. The air combo consists of two hits: a basic downward slash, and a spinning slash for the finisher.
Roxas and Xion have identical combos with both no gears and Zero gear. Their combo without any gears is the basic three hit combo, while his Zero gear combo is slightly different. It begins with a downward slash, followed by an upward swing with the capability of knocking the enemy in the air. From here, a {{button|dsy}}-Combo is prompted, in which Roxas or Xion will perform a jump accompanied by a downward slash if executed. With another hit of the {{button|dsy}} button, Roxas or Xion's {{button|dsy}}-Combo concludes with a sliding swing of the Keyblade. If continued normally, combo concludes with a basic turning slash. The aerial combo for Roxas's Zero Gear is noticeably shorter, with only two hits. It begins with a basic downward slash and finishes with a spinning slash.


Sora's Kingdom Key combos are identical, regardless of Gears, being the basic three-hit combo with no {{button|dsy}}-Combos prompted. His swing speed, however, is noticeably faster than Roxas's.
Sora's combos with the Kingdom Key, meanwhile, never change no matter what gear is equipped. It will always be the same, default, three-hit combo: a sideways swing, a forward thrust, and a turning slash. No {{button|dsy}}-Combo opportunities are ever prompted. His swing speed, however, is noticeably faster than Roxas's.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]'', when joining the player as an ally, Sora wields the Kingdom Key regardless of what Keychain the player has equipped.
