'''Mickey Mouse''', formally referred to as '''The King''', '''Your Majesty''', or '''King Mickey''', is the king of [[Disney Castle]] and a recurring character in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series.  

Originally a ship's hand working with Captain [[Pete]] at [[Timeless River]], Mickey became a student of the [[Keyblade Master]] [[Yen Sid]]. After completing his training and becoming a Keyblade Master himself, Mickey travels to other worlds to battle the forces of [[darkness]]. Although he is the chosen Keyblade wielder for the [[Realm of Darkness]], he follows the path of [[light]]. Once believing that darkness had to be eliminated, he eventually realized that light and darkness are interdependent and cannot exist without the other due to his encounters with [[Riku]], who he forms a strong bond with over the course of the series.

Mickey is an important figure in the conflict with [[Master Xehanort]], and was later one of the first to notice the threat of the [[Heartless]], inventing the first [[Gummi Ship]] to travel to other worlds in order to fight against the monsters.

While using the [[Star Shard]] to search for Donald and Goofy, Mickey, Chip, and Dale are unknowingly brought to the past by unknown means,<!--Mickey is wearing KH2 clothes and wielding Starseeker--> and land in [[Daybreak Town]]'s [[Market]] just in time to save the Player from a swarm of [[Wizard]]s. Learning that Player is trying to help Donald and Goofy rebuild their [[Gummi Ship]] in order to return home, the King sends Chip and Dale to help finish the ship. Mickey speculates that a force other than his [[Star Shard]] led him there, remaining unaware that [[Invi|Foreteller Invi]] is watching him from a nearby rooftop.{{storylink|Quest 60: The Warehouse Pt. 6}}

When he was young, Mickey worked as a deck hand with his captain, Pete. He and Pete sailed the steamboat Willie throughout Timeless River. This past association causes Pete to refer to Mickey as "the Boat-Boy King."

When [[Sora]] comes from the future using a door in the Hall of the Cornerstone, he, along with the future versions of [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]], mistake Mickey for being himself from the future. Four times, Mickey appears at scenes of trouble, either in peril (or appearing to be so), saving the day, or both. On one such occasion, his house is attacked by hordes of Heartless and a mini black hole that sucks up all his furniture. After each time Sora helps him out, Mickey shakes his hand and leads him to another scene of peril.

At another point in time, he finds his way to the [[Mysterious Tower]], where Master Yen Sid takes him in as an apprentice. One day, Master Yen Sid leaves his sorcerer's hat out and Mickey places it on his head, casting spells of all types. By enchanting the brooms, he has them do his chores and eventually decides to take a nap, only to awaken and find that the spell has gone horribly wrong and chaos is running rampant, with the entire tower flooded.

Despite his mistakes, Yen Sid keeps him on as his apprentice and Mickey eventually is able to wield the Star Seeker Keyblade.

[[File:Another Keyblade Wielder 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|right|Mickey faces Vanitas along with Ventus.]]

Upon regaining consciousness, Mickey returns to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he helps Aqua battle Ventus, who is possessed by Vanitas, and eventually guides them to the Mysterious Tower, where they discover that Ventus's heart has left his body. Later, after Aqua leaves with Ventus to find him a safe place, Mickey sorrowfully hands in the Star Shard and his Star Seeker Keyblade, thinking he has failed to reach his goal and disappointed his master, and begins to leave. Before he departs, however, Master Yen Sid hands him back the Keyblade with a smile, showing him that he is indeed worthy of the title of Keyblade Master. Mickey then happily accepts it.

[[File:The King's Memory 04 KHII.png|thumb|right|Mickey consults Ansem the Wise and discusses the worlds' safety.]]

After the barriers between the worlds shatter, causing meteors to fall from the sky, Mickey realizes the threat that the Darkness presents. Mickey seeks help for his concerns and the danger he expects. Inspecting the meteors, Mickey found they had a similar property to the [[Star Shard]]. Gathering up enough of the raw material, Mickey built his first [[Gummi Ship]], using it to travel in search of any world that was in danger of the Darkness. This eventually brought him back to [[Radiant Garden]], where he befriended it's ruler [[Ansem the Wise]]. They would discuss many topics.   

At one point, Mickey visited Ansem to discuss the growing threat the [[Heartless]] posed to the stability of the worlds. Their meeting is interrupted by [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]], who seemingly disturbs the King due to his resemblance to [[Terra]] and having the same name as the Keyblade Master that caused [[Eraqus]]' pupils to vanish. Because of his feelings towards the man and his persistent interest in certain experiments, coupled with the growing threat of Darkness, Mickey advises Ansem to review the research in his lab's computer in case Xehanort was continuing research behind his back.

Sometime during these years, [[Scrooge]] and Mickey traveled together to create a transit system.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II}}

Ten years after the loss of his fellow Keyblade wielders, Mickey takes notice that the stars in the sky were blinking out one after another. Knowing that each star was the light of a world's heart, Mickey realizes that the [[Heartless]] were devouring the worlds. Hoping to stop them, Mickey plans to enter the [[Realm of Darkness]] and find its [[Kingdom Key D|Keyblade]] in order to seal the [[Door to Darkness]]. However, as this task would requite at least two Keyblades, Mickey leaves a letter instructing Donald and Goofy to head to Traverse Town to ask [[Leon]] for help to find the "find [[Keyblade|the Key]]".{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts}} Mickey arrives in [[Traverse Town]] at the same time as Sora. Keeping himself out of sight, he locates a [[Corridor of Darkness]] after the battle with [[Guard Armor]] and passes through it to the Dark Realm. He is followed by his dog, [[Pluto]], who ends up lost along the way.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Re:coded}}

[[File:The World of Darkness 02 KHRECOM.png|thumb|right|Mickey's light reaches Riku's heart and protects him from Ansem's darkness.]]

When Ansem attempts to possess Riku after his fight with [[Lexaeus]] in the B4F Exit Hall, Mickey sends his light to drive him off. After Riku emerges from the third basement, Ansem takes advantage of Riku's acceptance of his own darkness to attempt possessing him once again. Mickey's light drives Ansem off once more, and Mickey arrives in person, explaining to Riku that a [[World Card]], leading to [[Twilight Town]], had appeared before him and showed him a path from the Realm of Darkness to where Riku was. After Mickey took the World Card, he went through a Corridor of Darkness constructed by Organization XIII to get to Castle Oblivion.{{storylink|Secret Ansem's Report 11}} Mickey meets Riku at the B2F Exit Hall, happy to see Riku chose not to be put to sleep by [[Naminé]], and they speak with [[DiZ]], who seems familiar to Mickey.

[[File:Mickey and Riku-Ansem 01 KHD.png|thumb|right|Mickey promises Riku not to tell what has happened to him.]]

King Mickey reunites with Riku in [[The Woods|the Twilight Town woods]], who has taken on the form of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. Initially perceiving him as an enemy, Mickey readies his Keyblade to attack until Riku calmly ties his blindfold into place, shocking Mickey as he reverts to his true self. Riku assures Mickey that he has gained some control over the darkness, but explains that [[Naminé]] cannot finish restoring Sora's memories because his most important ones, which are of [[Kairi]], are missing. Mickey is left confused, but Riku further explains that the Organization used the memories they stolen from Sora at Castle Oblivion to create a [[Xion|copy of Sora]] to do their bidding; if Sora does not get his memories of Kairi back, he will remain asleep. Mickey urges Riku to let him help, but the latter declines. Revealing his plans to face [[Roxas|a member of the Organization]] soon and his insecurity about surviving the fight, Riku makes Mickey promise to guide and protect Sora and their friends once they awaken.

As Sora, Donald, and Goofy have been asleep for a year and remain unaware of recent events, Mickey pays a visit to [[Yen Sid]] to ask him to brief the trio on the threat of the [[Nobodies]]. To help them get to the [[Mysterious Tower]], Mickey rides a train provided by his teacher back to [[Twilight Town]]. Arriving at the train station, Mickey is met by Riku, who gives him the [[Munny Pouch]] that he had stolen from [[Roxas]] in the [[Simulated Twilight Town]]. Not wanting Sora and Kairi to know about his condition, Riku pleads with Mickey not to reveal his whereabouts or his condition to Sora, and Mickey reluctantly agrees.

|If Sora falls in battle against certain enemies, the King will arrive to stall the enemy and restore Sora to full health.

[[File:The Truth About Ansem 01 KHII.png|thumb|right|Mickey reveals to Sora, Donald, and Goofy the true identity of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.]]

At [[Hollow Bastion]], Mickey reveals the truth about "Ansem", but is reluctant to reveal any information on Riku. He then aides the group in fending off the Heartless that [[Maleficent]] has summoned to destroy Radiant Garden. Initially, he orders Sora, Donald, and Goofy to leave Hollow Bastion and leave the Heartless to them, but Donald and Goofy go against his orders when they realize how desperate Sora is to help Leon. He later confronts them after they defeat [[Demyx]], at first appearing angry, but soon simply decides to allow them to help.

When Goofy apparently dies after taking a nasty blow to the head while saving Mickey from the same fate, Mickey swears that the Heartless would pay and permanently discards his Organization XIII disguise. They are later relieved to discover that Goofy was only unconscious. When he and Sora confront [[Xemnas]], he jumps after Xemnas into a corridor of darkness before it closed, thus preventing Sora, Donald and Goofy from going after him, but since he appears later in Twilight Town, it is apparent that he could not follow Xemnas all the way back to the Organization's base.

Sora and the others meet him in Twilight Town, where they find a way into [[The World That Never Was]] through the Simulated Twilight Town DiZ had created. When they enter the world, Mickey goes ahead of Sora to look for Ansem the Wise. He eventually finds him, and rescues him from a group of Nobodies. Ansem then attempts to use [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder|his machine]] to convert Kingdom Hearts into data, but was unsuccessful and vanishes when the machine explodes.

Mickey then confronts Xemnas with Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald and Goofy, and watches as Xemnas opens Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas then blocks out King Mickey and Kairi from participating in the final fight, first by launching a building at him and Kairi, closing the door to Kingdom Hearts, and later closing the dark portal to the Destiny Islands, preventing Mickey, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy from returning to aid Sora and Riku.

After Sora and Riku end the Organization's plot, Mickey waits with Donald, Goofy, and Kairi on Destiny Islands for their return. Once they do, he runs to Riku and congratulates them both for defeating Organization XIII. During the end credits, King Mickey is seen returning with Donald, Goofy, [[Scrooge McDuck]], [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]], Pluto, and [[Jiminy Cricket|Jiminy]] to Disney Castle, where he shares a kiss with Queen Minnie.

[[File:Under Mouse Arrest 01 KHREC.png|thumb|right|As Heartless suddenly appears inside Disney Castle, Mickey summons his Keyblade to fight them off.]]

Following the digital Sora's time in Traverse Town, he is attacked by Heartless. After disposing of them with the Star Seeker, he tries to leave the library to check the castle, but finds himself locked in, along with Jiminy, Donald, and Goofy. Somehow, they have been transported into the digital journal itself. While in the journal, he joins forces with Data-Sora and the journal itself (in the form of Riku) to dispatch the Heartless and debug the digital world. After defeating [[Sora's Heartless|Sora's own Heartless]], who was corrupting the journal, Mickey and his friends are returned to the real world when the debugging is completed, but a message claiming that a door to a new world has opened appears on the screen. Preparing for another adventure, Mickey requests to be taken into the digital world again to solve this new mystery.

Inside, he escorts Data-Sora throughout Castle Oblivion until they encounter the data version of Naminé, who tells them about Terra, Ventus, Aqua, and the reason behind the [[Bug Blox|Bug Block corruption]], which was caused by the real Naminé when she removed Sora's memories and later restored them.

After everything in the journal was restored, Mickey returns to the real world to write the letter to Sora to tell him about those who need him to heal their sadness, and a new journey is about to begin.

[[File:The Mark of Mastery Exam 01 KH3D.png|thumb|right|Mickey, Donald and Goofy watch Yen Sid prepare Sora and Riku for their Mark of Mastery Exam.]]

Later on, when Sora and Riku do not return from the Sleeping Worlds at the expected time, Mickey enters and finds Riku in Where Nothing Gathers, using a Stopza spell to freeze [[Young Xehanort]] and help him save the comatose Sora, but Xehanort remains unaffected by the spell and knocks Mickey aside in order to battle Riku. Following the fight, Mickey and Riku meet the revived Master Xehanort, who explains to them the details of his past endeavors and his continuing plans to recreate the χ-blade and restart the Keyblade War. Mickey openly accuses Master Xehanort of ruining the lives of Terra, Aqua, Ven and Master Eraqus, but Xehanort merely quips that it was their destiny. As Master Xehanort prepares to turn Sora into a vessel for a piece of his heart, Xemnas physically restrains Mickey from rescuing him. Lea arrives in time to protect Sora, and Ansem responds by releasing his Guardian, who grabs Mickey and Riku, but is knocked out by Donald and Goofy. Master Xehanort and the rest of Organization XIII are forced to retreat, but swear revenge.

In order to gather the seven guardians of light, Riku and King Mickey enter the Dark World in search of Aqua. They follow her trail to the Dark Margin, but when they arrive they find no trace of her, her trail having gone cold deeper into darkness. Though Riku insists on staying to save Aqua from the same fear and loneliness he once felt in the Dark World, Mickey convinces him to retreat back to Yen Sid to regroup and resupply.

At the Mysterious Tower, Yen Sid suggests that as Aqua visited many worlds during her own journey, it may be prudent for Riku and Mickey to follow her footsteps to gain clues to her current whereabouts. He provides new garments for Kairi and Lea, and requests that Riku and Mickey deliver them when they visit Merlin to gain new Keyblades. Mickey travels with Riku to Radiant Garden, the last place Aqua was seen in the Realm of Light. They discuss the path of Xehanort's heart through time and vessels, and the realization that the Xehanort that served Ansem the Wise was in fact a possessed Terra. After a phone call from Sora, they head into the castle to discuss the replica project with [[Ienzo]].

Without any new leads to her location, Mickey and Riku travel back to the Dark Margin to pick up Aqua's trail. Once again, they are assaulted by the Demon Tower, and are overwhelmed by it. This time, however, Mickey is disarmed and trapped within it, and [[Anti-Aqua]] reveals herself from its depths. She claims Mickey's Keyblade, planning to use it to return to the Realm of Light, leaving Mickey and Riku trapped behind as she was. Riku connects with his replica's heart and uses their combined strength to confront Aqua and the Demon Tower. The fight takes its toll on Riku and, faltering, he speaks Sora's name. This connection allows Sora to enter the realm of darkness, where he defends Mickey and Riku and defeats Aqua, freeing her from the darkness.

[[File:Mickey Mouse (KH) DI3.png|thumb|right|Mickey wearing his ''Kingdom Hearts'' outfit in ''Disney Infinity 3.0''.]]

==Appearance==

As king of Disney Castle, Mickey is much more responsible and dutiful. He commands the respect and loyalty of his subjects, especially Donald and Goofy. Mickey is very friendly and loyal, always thinking positively. He is always ready to help his friends and tries to protect them at any costs. He always tries to keep the promises he makes to his friends. When he sees his friends get hurt, he becomes surprisingly serious and angry, such as when Goofy appears to be mortally wounded after saving him during the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]].  

Mickey's valiant nature often pits him against villains that try to hurt his friends and allies or conquer worlds. He is especially antagonistic towards Maleficent, with whom he has clashed multiple times, and towards [[Master Xehanort]], whose actions have caused a great deal of pain and destruction throughout the worlds, including the ruining of the lives of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.

While only being a few feet tall, King Mickey is an incredibly powerful Keyblade wielder as shown when he defeats three [[Darkside]] Heartless in a single blow, even in the Realm of Darkness where all Heartless are exponentially stronger. Extremely skilled with the weapon, he uses his size and agility to maximize his advantages and wear down his foes, flipping and spinning constantly to attack from all sides and heights, and finishing with wide, powerful strokes of his blade. Mickey's skill in battle is great enough to be able to momentarily hold off a simultaneous assault from Xemnas, [[Marluxia]], [[Larxene]], and [[Luxord]] during the battle at the Keyblade Graveyard.

Mickey is also adept with magic. ''Kingdom Hearts II'' demonstrates Mickey's ability to use the "Pearl" and "Holy" light-based spells. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', he is shown to heal Ventus with [[Cure]] after Vanitas nearly kills him. In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Mickey is shown casting [[Stop]]za, freezing everyone in [[Where Nothing Gathers]] in time. However, according to Riku, using time magic uses a great deal of Mickey's stamina, to the point where it would inhibit his ability to fight normally. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Mickey had demonstrated that he is able to use the spell “Ultima”, however was unable to finish casting due to the intervention of Master Xehanort's Stopza.

During his time as a Keyblade wielder, Mickey has used two Keyblades: Star Seeker and the [[Kingdom Key D]], a Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness. The Kingdom Key D grants him the ability to open doorways between the realms of light and darkness, and he has spent large amounts of time in the Dark Realm. Yet, as testament to his strong heart, Mickey has never once fought with his inner darkness and can travel through [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]] completely unaffected.

After Mickey's Kingdom Key D is damaged during a fight with a Demon Tower, Mickey goes to the Mysterious Tower to upgrade his Keyblade to [[Kingdom Key W]]

File:Star Seeker KH0.2.png|[[Star Seeker]].

File:Kingdom Key D KH0.2.png|[[Kingdom Key D]].

File:Kingdom Key W KHIII.png|[[Kingdom Key W]]

The King appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' as a [[friend card]] in ''Reverse/Rebirth''.

 

This card summons King Mickey, who heals Riku, stuns and deals damage to all enemies, and reloads Riku's deck. Stocking multiple of these cards creates the [[MM Miracle]] sleight, increasing the amount of health restored and damage done to enemies. Amongst using enemy cards with healing effects, such as [[Oogie Boogie]], Mickey's friend card is one of the few methods in which Riku can heal. In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Riku has two new sleights. He can perform the Holy Burst and Inverse Burst Sleights with King Mickey, in normal and Dark Mode respectively, in which Mickey hovers and shoots orbs of light from his Keyblade.

 

 

He has rather low HP, average strength and attack speed but excels in the Magic and Critical areas. He uses his small size to his maximum advantage, swiftly evading enemy attacks while exploiting enemy openings likewise with wide, fast strokes of his Keyblade. His Limit Break is the [[Holy]] technique that he uses in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

In certain battles against bosses, if Sora is defeated, an alternate menu option will appear. Instead of the normal "Continue" and "Load Game," Sora is then given the options "I won't give up!" and "It's all over..". If the former is chosen, the player will be able to play as Mickey temporarily. This can happen a number of times in one battle.

In battle, Mickey can perform two attacks: the first being simply [[Attack]], and the other being [[Pearl]], a magical attack that damages the opponent with a homing ball of light. Like Sora, {{Button|c}} allows the player to jump and {{Button|t}} performs reaction commands. However, Mickey's can use a Reaction Command to slowly charge his Drive Gauge, and the process is sped up during [[MP Charge]]. Once the Drive Gauge is full, Mickey can activate [[Healing Light]], which will fully recover Sora's HP, [[MP]], and Drive Gauge as well as switch the player back to Sora. If Mickey is defeated before using Healing Light, Mickey will instead use a Hi-Potion to heal Sora so that he regains half of his HP, although his MP and Drive Gauge will remain the way it was before he was defeated.

While Mickey can deal damage, it is impossible to actually defeat a boss as Mickey due to the fact that he lacks a finishing move. However, Mickey is very powerful and one could use him to damage the boss to the point where Sora need only land a finishing blow to finish the battle after reviving him.

King Mickey can be playable during the following battles:

Mickey joins Aqua as a party member, although he does visit prior areas where Aqua was alone. He has the ability to use a team attack with Aqua called {{c|Wayfinder|Style Change}}.

Mickey serves as a party member to Riku in their first visit to the Realm of Darkness. He mostly behaves identically to how he does in ''0.2''. Riku can use the Double Duel Situation Command to team up with Mickey and perform spinning attacks of light and darkness.

Mickey also serves as a party member to Sora in the Keyblade Graveyard in the fight against Marluxia and Larxene, and later in the fight against Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort.

On May 18, 2009, Mickey's first voice actor for ''Kingdom Hearts'', Wayne Allwine, passed away from complications due to diabetes. ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' became the last work in which Allwine provided the voice of Mickey Mouse (and his final performance overall), and the English versions of the game were dedicated in his memory. Mickey is now voiced by {{w|Bret Iwan}}, who gave his first full performance as Mickey in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and later voiced him in ''Re:coded'', ''Dream Drop Distance'', and the ''HD ReMIX''es.
