'''King Mickey''', simply referred to as 王様, ''His Highness'' or ''Your Highness'' or more commonly as "Your Majesty" is the king of [[Disney Castle]] and a recurring character in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] series. He travels the worlds battling the forces of darkness, and is the chosen Keyblade wielder for the [[Realm of Darkness]], though he follows the path of light.

Though he is known as the King of Disney Castle, his true name is '''Mickey Mouse'''.

King Mickey is an incredibly powerful character in the KH Universe. He has appeared in all currently released Kingdom Hearts games and will be in all announced games. First studying under [[Yen Sid]], Mickey is possibly the inventor of [[Gummi Ship]]s, the first to realize the threat of darkness spreading between worlds, and one the characters most strongly affiliated with light, including [[Sora]]. This is not always readily apparent, as his character remains very simple spoken, colloquial, and light-hearted. But contrary to this appearance, King Mickey has played a major role in all Kingdom Hearts games.

==Journal Entries==

==Role==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep''===
[[Image:Mickey In kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.jpg|thumb|100px|left|King Mickey in ''Birth by Sleep'']]
King Mickey will be appearing in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]]''. A screenshot has shown him with the [[Star Seeker]] Keyblade, protecting [[Ven]].

As seen in the ''[[Birth By Sleep]]'' secret video in ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'', Mickey was a witness to a fight between [[Terra]], Ven, and [[Aqua]] and [[Master Xehanort]] and [[Master Xehanort's Apprentice|His Apprentice]], with Star Seeker in hand. In the trailer, he sees the blue, Kingdom Hearts Esq symbol in the sky and seems very concerned by it.

In this game, he is still an apprentice of Master Yen Sid and is wielding the Star Seeker. Mickey, along with Master Xehanort (and possibly Master Xehanort's Apprentice), seems to be the only Keyblade wielder among the ones in Birth By Sleep whose Keyblade has a Keychain. Whether or not this has any true importance is not yet known.

===Story between ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
Upon realizing the threat the darkness presented, Mickey sought out help for his concerns, and the danger he seemed to expect. By using the barrier's material itself to make a Gummi Ship, Mickey traveled to [[Radiant Garden]] and met [[Ansem the Wise]]. Mickey befriended Ansem, and told Ansem of his concern of the growing darkness between the worlds. It was also here that Mickey met [[Xehanort]]. Meeting him seemed to disturb the King.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[Image:Mickey-2.jpg|129px|right]]''Kingdom Hearts'' marks the first appearance of Mickey in the series. Before actually appearing onscreen, Mickey gives instructions to his subjects through a message from [[Pluto]]. Not seen until the end of the game, in [[Kingdom Hearts (Combined Heart)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', King Mickey left from his home, Disney Castle, leaving a note instructing [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] to "find the Key". In his journeys, King Mickey had passed the [[Corridor of Darkness]] at [[Traverse Town]] and found the [[Mickey's Kingdom Key|Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness]]. Within the realm of darkness, he meets [[Riku]], asking him about his heart. At the end of Kingdom Hearts, he helps Sora to seal Kingdom Hearts to prevent the Heartless from escaping it. It was the choice of Mickey and Riku to stay behind in the [[Realm of Darkness]] that started Sora, Donald and Goofy on their quests in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
In ''Chain of Memories'', Mickey does not appear in Sora's storyline (though he is mentioned) but instead appears in Riku's. In Riku's storyline, he helps Riku to fight off the influence of Ansem, who had made attempts to take over Riku's body as he did in the first ''Kingdom Hearts''. He is also the first to meet [[DiZ]], Ansem the Wise in disguise, although he does not remember who he is. He chooses to join Riku on his path to "the dawn", taking with him a robe of Organization XIII.

===''Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days''===
[[Image:Hdsk.jpg|thumb|100px|left|King Mickey appears to be in the [[Twilight Town]] Woods.]]

King Mickey will be appearing in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. Screenshots have shown him dressed in his [[Organization XIII]] robe. He was also shown in the Twilight Town woods facing Riku, who has taken on the form of [[Xehanort's Heartless]]. Mickey readies to attack as Riku calmly ties to put on his blindfold into place, and Mickey notices something as Riku vanishes into a corridor of darkness.
<br clear=all>

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
[[Image:Mickey Cloaked.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Mickey wearing his [[Black Cloak]]]]

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Mickey appears far more often then he had in the previous Kingdom Hearts games. He is a playable character under certain circumstances. 

Sometime after Riku left DiZ's employ, he encounters Mickey and 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.

Mickey later arrives to help Sora fend off the Nobodies that attacked them in [[Twilight Town]] posing as somewhat of a fake Organization XIII member. After the battle, he handed Sora a money pouch and instructed him to visit his mentor, [[Yen Sid]], running off afterwards. Yen Sid revealed that Mickey's reasons for leaving [[Disney Castle]] in the first game was to investigate the mysterious outbreak of [[Heartless]] and the more mysterious [[Organization XIII|Organization]]. Mickey makes several appearances throughout the game, and is even playable when Sora is defeated in certain boss battles; if Sora is defeated in these boss battles, Mickey appears and fights the boss until he himself is defeated or Sora is revived; in either event, he leaves the battlefield as quickly as he arrived. He wields an alternate version of the [[Mickey's Kingdom Key|Kingdom Key]].

At [[Hollow Bastion]], Mickey revealed the truth about [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]], but was reluctant to reveal any info 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 nose while saving Mickey from the same fate, Mickey swears that the Heartless would pay and permanently discards his Organization XIII disguise, and they are all relieved to discover that Goofy was only unconscious. When he and Sora confront [[Xemnas]], he jumps after Xemnas into a corridor of darkness, but since he appears later in Twilight Town, it is apparent that he could not follow Xemnas all the way. When Sora meets him in Twilight Town, they find a way into [[the World That Never Was]] through the [[Virtual 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 death. Ansem then attempts to use [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder|his machine]] to convert [[Kingdom Hearts (Combined Heart)|Kingdom Hearts]] into data, but was unsuccessful and dies when the machine explodes. Mickey then confronts Xemnas with Sora and Riku, and watches as Xemnas opens Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas then blocks out King Mickey from participating in the final fight, first by launching a building at him and Kairi, closing Kingdom Hearts, and then closes the dark portal to the Destiny Islands, so Mickey, Donald, and Goofy could not return 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 then runs to Riku and congratulates them both for defeating [[Organization XIII]].  During the end credits, King Mickey is seen returning with Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy to Disney Castle, where he reunites with his wife Queen Minnie where they share a cartoonish kiss and their tails form a heart ending the sequence for Disney Castle.

After the credits, it is revealed that he had left a message in a bottle for Sora, Riku, and Kairi before he, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy departed the Destiny Islands, though its contents are unknown.

===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
[[Image:King_Sora_coded.jpg|thumb|King Mickey with Sora|left]]
King Mickey reappears again in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. He is the one who digitalized [[Jiminy's Journal]]. He, [[Jiminy Cricket]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] are trying to solve the mystery of the the journal's odd entries. The screenshots have shown him in gameplay along with the digital [[Sora]]. The two of them are shown jumping on red and black blocks. The screenshot to the right shows Mickey with what seems to be the [[Star Seeker]] keyblade. It was also revealed in a trailer for the game that Mickey was present in [[Traverse Town]] during the events of Sora's first visit after the destruction of [[Destiny Islands]].
{{-}}

==Powers and Abilities==
 
King Mickey is extremely skilled with a keyblade. He uses his size and agility to maximize his advantages and wear down his foes, flipping and spinning attacks, and finishing them with wide strokes of his blade. It is possible to assume he gained his abilities from his training with Yen Sid. It's also known that Mickey has used two Keyblades: [[Star Seeker]] and the Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness, [[Darkside (Mickey's Keyblade)|Darkside]].

In terms of magic, Mickey is also very apt. [[Kingdom Hearts II]] demonstrated Mickey's ability to use "Pearl," a clearly light based spell.  In [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]] he aids [[Riku]] by restoring his deck and healing his HP when summoned, as well as by performing the light-based attack '''Holy Burst''' and the light/dark attack '''Inverse Burst''' alongside Riku.  

Mickey is very able outside of combat, as well. He has spent a large amount of time in the Dark Realm, and his keyblade seems to be the opposite of Sora's. As a testament to his heart's strength, Mickey has never once fought with his inner darkness. He can travel easily within the [[Corridor of Darkness]]s and seems to be completely unaffected by it. Based on the [[Ansem Reports]], Mickey is said to have discovered the properties of [[Gummi Blocks|Gummi]] material and used it to travel to other worlds.

==Playing as the King==
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 option "I won't give up...".  If this option is chosen, the player will be able to play as Mickey temporarily.

In battle, Mickey can perform two attacks: the first being simply "Attack," and the other being "Pearl," a magical attack. Like Sora, the circle button allows the player to jump and the triangle button preforms reaction commands. However, Mickey's only reaction command is to slowly charge his Drive Gauge.  Once full, Mickey can activate "Healing Light", which will fully recover Sora's HP and MP and causes the player to continue playing as Sora.  If Mickey is defeated before using Healing Light, Sora will still regain half of his HP, but no MP.  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 it's wise to use him to beat the boss to the point where only Sora can finish the battle before reviving Sora.

===Battles===
These are the battles in which King Mickey appears.
*[[Shan-Yu]]
*[[Thresholder]] and [[Possessor]]
*[[Shadow Stalker]]/[[Dark Thorn]]
*[[Cerberus]]
*[[Hydra]]
*[[Blizzard Lord]] and [[Volcano Lord]]
*[[Storm Rider]]
*[[Xaldin]]
*[[Grim Reaper]] (Battle 1)
*Armored [[Xemnas]] (Battle 1)

===Battle Quotes===
*''"Sora!"''
*''"My turn!"''
*''"I'll help you out!"''
*''"Light, give me power!"''
*''"Wow!"''
*''"You gotta wake up!"''
*"Come On!"

===Final Visit to Twilight Town===
When [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] revisit Twilight Town to find the mansion of a photo they got from [[Riku]], they were overrun by Nobodies and King Mickey appears to give them assistance. This is the only occasion that King Mickey becomes a helpful ally instead of replacing Sora in a boss battle.

==Trivia==

* Mickey was originally intended to be the main protagonist of the series with Donald and Goofy by his side, but Square insisted on a human protagonist and Sora, along with Riku and Kairi, were born. He bears much of Mickey's trademark apparel, such as white gloves and big yellow shoes.

* Mickey's <b> Pearl </b> is a variant of the recurring Final Fantasy spell <b> Holy </b>, which has been translated in various titles as <b> Fade </b>, <b> White </b>, and <b> Pearl </b> due to a barring of religious imagery America by Nintendo, then the publisher of Square's games. In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', released in the US first as Final Fantasy III, the spell that read in Japanese as <b> Holy </b> was translated as <b> Pearl </b>, though it is unclear whether this was simply for creative reasons (the spell actually resembles three pearls that descend upon the enemy and explode) or because of censorship issues.

* In the world of Kingdom Hearts, it appears as though the spells <b> Pearl </b>, as cast by Mickey Mouse, and <b> Holy </b>, as cast by Sora in [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]], are two distinct spells, though in Final Fantasy titles they are two differing translations of the same spell.
* Although in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' Mickey is credited as having first appeared in the Disney short "Steamboat Willie", this is incorrect. Mickey first appeared in "Plane Crazy", but "Steamboat Willie" is often considered his first notable performance, as he was characterized very differently in "Plane Crazy".

* [[Riku]] is the only character who calls Mickey by his name, at his request.

* Apparently, Donald is Mickey's best friend, while they are rivals in the post-1940s Disney cartoons (though this is mostly on Donald's part); however, in the cartoons, Donald does seem to be a genuine friend to Mickey. 

* In the first game, Mickey could (barely) be seen in his casual clothing. However, in later games, his attire resembled, more or less, like his original attire.

* Mickey is the only Disney character (besides [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]]) who has clothes resembling Final Fantasy characters rather than a previous outfit. (It should also be noted that they have weapons that have never before appeared with them).

*Mickey is the only chacter in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] journal to not have a full view.

-'''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. He acts equally to Queen [[Minnie Mouse]], and is close friends with [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]], who act as his close assistants.
-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]]. 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]], whom he forms a strong bond with throughout the series.
+Though he is known as the King of Disney Castle, his true name is '''Mickey Mouse'''.
-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 to fight against the monsters.
+King Mickey is an incredibly powerful character in the KH Universe. He has appeared in all currently released Kingdom Hearts games and will be in all announced games. First studying under [[Yen Sid]], Mickey is possibly the inventor of [[Gummi Ship]]s, the first to realize the threat of darkness spreading between worlds, and one the characters most strongly affiliated with light, including [[Sora]]. This is not always readily apparent, as his character remains very simple spoken, colloquial, and light-hearted. But contrary to this appearance, King Mickey has played a major role in all Kingdom Hearts games.

-While [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] search for Master Xehanort and [[Vanitas]], King Mickey undergoes the Mark of Mastery Exam under the supervision of Yen Sid at the Mysterious Tower, accompanied by Donald and Goofy, during which he uses the [[Star Seeker|Star Seeker Keyblade]]. Later on, Mickey runs away without Yen Sid's permission, using a [[Star Shard]] that allows him to travel throughout other worlds; however, it works rather randomly, as he has not learned how to control it. Terra witnesses the King's leave when he first visits the tower.
-Upon visiting the Mysterious Tower, Terra watches Mickey's Star Shard take him to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. The Star Shard knew that Mickey needed to be there to save Ventus. When Ventus loses a fight with Vanitas, he steps in to help. They successfully drive him off before Mickey's Star Shard brings them to Radiant Garden. He later teams up with Aqua after Ven attempts to get inside the [[Radiant Garden]] castle, rescuing a young [[Kairi]] from the Unverseds' attempt to capture her. He is whisked off to Neverland when the battle ends, telling Aqua to not worry about him.
+''Donald, Goofy, and Sora will keep searching until they're reunited with the King.''
-While exploring [[Neverland]], Mickey is ambushed by Vanitas and knocked unconscious, who then proceeds to kidnap Mickey and take him to the Keyblade Graveyard. Ven tries to help Mickey when he finds out about it, only for them to both get sucked into a vortex. Mickey is left stranded in space before Aqua finds him and takes him back to the Mysterious Tower.

-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.

-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 its 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 continues the research behind his back.

In the trailer, he sees the blue, Kingdom Hearts Esq symbol in the sky and seems very concerned by it.
-Ten years after the loss of his fellow Keyblade wielders, Mickey takes notice that the stars in the sky are 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 require at least two Keyblades, Mickey leaves a letter instructing Donald and Goofy to head to Traverse Town to ask [[Leon]] for help to "find [[Keyblade|the Key]]".

-Once there, he stumbles upon [[Aqua]], floating unconscious in the void. After a brief reunion, they are attacked by a swarm of Heartless, but manage to defeat them. Mickey is surprised that he has finally found Aqua, and she explains how her sacrifice to save [[Terra-Xehanort]] from sinking into darkness trapped her there. Afterward, she joins him on his journey through the Realm of Darkness to find the Keyblade. Eventually, the pair arrive at the wreckage of [[Destiny Islands]] and are intercepted by a massive swarm of Heartless at the entrance to the [[Secret Place]].{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-}}
+In this game, he is still an apprentice of Master Yen Sid and is wielding the Star Seeker. Mickey, along with Master Xehanort (and possibly Master Xehanort's Apprentice), seems to be the only Keyblade wielder among the ones in Birth By Sleep whose Keyblade has a Keychain. Whether or not this has any true importance is not yet known.

Aqua uses her [[Master's Defender]] to ensnare the Heartless, allowing Mickey and Riku to escape, but leaving her once more all alone.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-}}
+Upon realizing the threat the darkness presented, Mickey sought out help for his concerns, and the danger he seemed to expect. By using the barrier's material itself to make a Gummi Ship, Mickey traveled to [[Radiant Garden]] and met [[Ansem the Wise]]. Mickey befriended Ansem, and told Ansem of his concern of the growing darkness between the worlds. It was also here that Mickey met [[Xehanort]]. Meeting him seemed to disturb the King.
-Shortly after Ansem is defeated, Mickey and Riku arrive at the [[Door to Darkness]], and help Sora to seal the door to prevent the Heartless from escaping through it.

In his journeys, King Mickey had passed the [[Corridor of Darkness]] at [[Traverse Town]] and found the [[Mickey's Kingdom Key|Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness]]. Within the realm of darkness, he meets [[Riku]], asking him about his heart. At the end of Kingdom Hearts, he helps Sora to seal Kingdom Hearts to prevent the Heartless from escaping it.

In Riku's storyline, he helps Riku to fight off the influence of Ansem, who had made attempts to take over Riku's body as he did in the first ''Kingdom Hearts''. He is also the first to meet [[DiZ]], Ansem the Wise in disguise, although he does not remember who he is. He chooses to join Riku on his path to "the dawn", taking with him a robe of Organization XIII.
-Although Sora, Donald and Goofy initially enter [[Castle Oblivion]] believing the King to be there, Mickey is only able to send a bit of his light to help Riku in the twelfth basement, when he is attacked by Ansem. When Riku enters the eleventh basement, Mickey is able to project an image of himself, and he makes Riku promise to keep fighting the darkness, while promising to find a way to where Riku is.

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 Ansem is defeated, Mickey rescues Riku from the sudden rush of darkness and takes him to the castle's entrance hall. He calms Riku's concerns about the remnants of darkness in his heart by pointing out that Riku's darkness is his own to control, explaining that although he used to think darkness was only bad, he is fascinated by Riku's ability to use light and darkness together and wants to accompany Riku along his chosen path.

-Mickey digitizes [[Jiminy's Journal]] to investigate a mysterious message saying: "''We must return to free them from their torment''". When bugs appear in the digital system, he decides to create a [[Data-Sora|data version of Sora]] to fix them.
-Following the digital Sora's time in Traverse Town, he is attacked by Heartless.

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]] corruption, which was caused by the real Naminé when she removed Sora's memories and later restored them.

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.

After he finished his explanation, he thinks he hears Aqua's voice in the distance. A frustrated Riku demands to know why Mickey didn't tell him sooner, but Mickey clarifies that he had to respect her choice, and his claims bolstered by Yen Sid's insistence that had Riku found out sooner, he and Sora would have staged a fruitless rescue mission. When Yen Sid orders Kairi to train with Lea under Merlin, Mickey informs Kairi who Lea is. Yen Sid then assigns Riku and Mickey the mission to rescue Aqua and gives the two Keyblade Masters new clothes from [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather|the three fairies]] to shield them from the darkness.

Donald destroys Terra-Xehanort with Zettaflare but collapses due to magic overuse, and the guardians, including Mickey, lose their hearts to a massive Demon Tide.

Mickey almost casts Stopza against the horde, however, Yen Sid appears and holds off the Heartless with Donald and Goofy to allow the guardians to proceed to the final fight.
-In the Skein of Severance, Mickey faces off against Xemnas, Luxord, Larxene, and Marluxia. When Sora joins the battle, Xemnas powers up Luxord and leaves. Luxord traps Mickey in a card and battles Sora for Mickey's freedom, but Sora frees Mickey by defeating Luxord. Mickey helps Sora defeat Marluxia and Larxene and chases after Xemnas, telling Sora to assist the others.
-Mickey and Riku are joined by Sora at the Tower of Endings, where they defeat Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas. Master Xehanort then slays Kairi, forcing Sora to attack him. In anger, Mickey attempts to cast Ultima, but Xehanort counters with Stopza and uses the clash against him to forge the χ-blade. Despite being frozen in time, Mickey is able to contact a future version of Sora, explaining that Xehanort had merely scattered the fragments of Kairi's heart and telling Sora to collect the fragments to save her.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}} After the time freeze wears off, Mickey explains his plan to use Xehanort's ability to move through time against him and trap and defeat him. Mickey attempts to enlist Aqua and Riku to help him do the job, but Sora, Donald, and Goofy intervene and convince Mickey to let them finish off Xehanort while he and the other guardians close Kingdom Hearts.
-While sealing Kingdom Hearts, Mickey and the guardians are confronted by the [[Replica Xehanort]]s, which Master Xehanort had summoned to prevent the guardians from stopping him. The guardians team up to defeat the Replica Xehanorts, but the replicas send most of the guardians into keyholes. Battered and weakened, Mickey defeats the replicas with the help of future Sora, giving Sora the final piece to save Kairi and saving the guardians. The replicas return as Armored Xehanort, but after Sora and Kairi defeat Armored Xehanort, Mickey joins the other guardians in destroying the replicas for good.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}
-After Master Xehanort's defeat, Mickey and the other guardians follow their hearts to Sora, Donald, and Goofy. After Xehanort hands Sora the χ-blade and admits defeat, the other guardians completely close Kingdom Hearts and return to the Keyblade Graveyard. Sora announces his desire to save Kairi using the Power of Waking. Mickey tries to warn Sora not to as he might lose his heart in the process, but Riku convinces him to believe in Sora. Mickey then wishes Sora a safe journey.
-After Sora's departure, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy return to Disney Castle with Yen Sid. Mickey reunites with Queen Minnie and Pluto, where he then watches fireworks in celebration of Xehanort's defeat. Mickey then travels to Destiny Islands and soon witnesses Sora fading away as a result of misusing the power of waking.
-Mickey, Donald, and Goofy spend the next year searching for clues to Sora's whereabouts in the worlds Sora has visited with no success.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind}}
-===''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory''===
-After Kairi awakens, Mickey is informed that Riku has gone to [[Quadratum]] to find Sora. Fearing for Riku's safety, Mickey tries to go after him before being stopped by Yen Sid, aware that they were going into "uncharted waters". Knowing that Xehanort's clue came from during his time as a researcher, he and the group hear Yen Sid recall stories of the ancient Keyblade Masters crossing over into another world and believe Xehanort might have studied it.
-While Donald and Goofy travel to the Land of Departure, Twilight Town, and Radiant Garden to inform their friends about what they discovered and Kairi continues her training under Aqua, Mickey is tasked with discovering the connection between the ancient Masters and the new world, suggesting to begin his search in Scala ad Caelum.

-==Design==
+==Powers and Abilities==
-{{Main|Form:Mickey Mouse}}
-Mickey is an anthropomorphic mouse with black fur, round ears of the same color, and a thin, long, black tail. The fur on his face is cream-colored. His usual outfit in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series is a modified version of the one he wears in modern Disney cartoons. He wears a short-sleeved jacket with white lining. The top half of this jacket is black, while the bottom half is red, and there are two yellow straps dangling in front of it. His pants are red and sport a zipper going down the front of each leg. Each leg also has a yellow pouch with a black strap that partially cover the zipper, as well as a blue strap on the outer side of each pant leg. Mickey wears very large, yellow shoes with grey backs and two orange, intersecting straps attached to the front of each shoe. Throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, Mickey appears in numerous outfits and forms from different worlds. In all of his appearances, except for when he wears the [[black coat]], Mickey dons the famous, white gloves common to most older Disney characters.
+King Mickey is extremely skilled with a keyblade. He uses his size and agility to maximize his advantages and wear down his foes, flipping and spinning attacks, and finishing them with wide strokes of his blade. It is possible to assume he gained his abilities from his training with Yen Sid. It's also known that Mickey has used two Keyblades: [[Star Seeker]] and the Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness, [[Darkside (Mickey's Keyblade)|Darkside]].
-==Personality==
-In the past, Mickey is a mischievous and playful individual, often skipping work and getting himself into trouble. He tends to steer clear of dangerous fights, but he shows moments of bravery, such as when he saves Sora from a Heartless ambush. Even as an apprentice under Yen Sid, he often goes against his master's instructions, whether it is to get out of doing chores or to explore other worlds.
-As king of Disney Castle, Mickey is much more responsible and dutiful. He commends the respect and loyalty of his subjects, especially Donald and Goofy. Mickey is very friendly and loyal, always thinking positively while trying to lift the spirits of others. He is always ready to help his friends and tries to protect them at any cost, showing a determination that none could dampen. Mickey always tries to keep the promises he makes to his friends, even when he doesn't always agree with said promises, showing a great deal of loyalty to those who earned his friendship. 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]]. In addition, Mickey has shown a good deal of guilt over the fates Aqua, Ventus, and Terra had faced, believing he was partially responsible, especially with Aqua who was stranded in the Realm of Darkness for years. Despite this, Mickey resolved to save them.
-Mickey's valiant nature often pits him against villains who 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.
-Originally, Mickey possessed a biased view of Light and Darkness. He believed Light was always a force of good while Darkness was always evil, never giving the chance to understand them both. However, after journeying with Riku he realized the naivety of his views, seeing that Light and Darkness are interdependent of each other, with all worlds being made of both. Mickey came to accept that Darkness is half of everything and that people are merely scared of the darkness, rather it actually being a force of evil.
-==Abilities==
-While only 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 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.
-Mickey can coat himself in light and travel through the Lanes Between; this ability is automatic, as he was too badly wounded by [[Vanitas]] in ''Birth by Sleep'' to stay conscious.{{fact}}
-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 a testament to his strong heart, Mickey has never once fought with his inner darkness and can travel through [[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 [[Star Cluster]].
-[[Ansem's Reports]] claim Mickey was the first to discover the properties of [[Gummi Blocks|Gummi]] material and used it to travel to other worlds.{{storylink|Ansem's Report 9}}

-===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
+In terms of magic, Mickey is also very apt. [[Kingdom Hearts II]] demonstrated Mickey's ability to use "Pearl," a clearly light based spell.  In [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]] he aids [[Riku]] by restoring his deck and healing his HP when summoned, as well as by performing the light-based attack '''Holy Burst''' and the light/dark attack '''Inverse Burst''' alongside Riku.
-[[File:The King (card).png|right]]
-The King appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' as a [[friend card]] in ''Reverse/Rebirth''. His card has 12.5% chance of appearing during battle if available. When used, King Mickey performs [[MM Miracle]], which heals Riku, stuns and deals damage to all enemies, and reloads Riku's deck. Stocking multiple King Mickey cards enhances the effect of MM Miracle, 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.
-===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
+Mickey is very able outside of combat, as well. He has spent a large amount of time in the Dark Realm, and his keyblade seems to be the opposite of Sora's. As a testament to his heart's strength, Mickey has never once fought with his inner darkness. He can travel easily within the [[Corridor of Darkness]]s and seems to be completely unaffected by it. Based on the [[Ansem Reports]], Mickey is said to have discovered the properties of [[Gummi Blocks|Gummi]] material and used it to travel to other worlds.
-====Playable character====
-In certain boss battles, 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 temporarily play as Mickey. This can happen a number of times in one battle.
-In battle, Mickey can perform a combo [[attack]] with {{button|x}} and cast [[Pearl]], a magical attack that damages the opponent with a homing ball of light, with {{button|square}}. He can also jump with {{Button|c}}, and can use {{Button|t}} to perform the [[D-Charge]] Reaction Command, which slowly charges his Drive Gauge; 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.
+==Playing as the King==
+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 option "I won't give up...".  If this option is chosen, the player will be able to play as Mickey temporarily.
-While Mickey can deal damage, he lacks a finishing move, meaning he cannot land the finishing blow required to defeat a boss. 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.
+In battle, Mickey can perform two attacks: the first being simply "Attack," and the other being "Pearl," a magical attack. Like Sora, the circle button allows the player to jump and the triangle button preforms reaction commands. However, Mickey's only reaction command is to slowly charge his Drive Gauge.  Once full, Mickey can activate "Healing Light", which will fully recover Sora's HP and MP and causes the player to continue playing as Sora.  If Mickey is defeated before using Healing Light, Sora will still regain half of his HP, but no MP.  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 it's wise to use him to beat the boss to the point where only Sora can finish the battle before reviving Sora.
-Mickey can be playable during the following battles:

-===''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''===
+* Mickey was originally intended to be the main protagonist of the series with Donald and Goofy by his side, but Square insisted on a human protagonist and Sora, along with Riku and Kairi, were born. He bears much of Mickey's trademark apparel, such as white gloves and big yellow shoes.
-Mickey joins Aqua as a party member, although he does not visit prior areas where Aqua was alone. He has the ability to use a team attack with Aqua called {{c|Wayfinder|Style Change}}.
-===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
+* Mickey's <b> Pearl </b> is a variant of the recurring Final Fantasy spell <b> Holy </b>, which has been translated in various titles as <b> Fade </b>, <b> White </b>, and <b> Pearl </b> due to a barring of religious imagery America by Nintendo, then the publisher of Square's games. In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', released in the US first as Final Fantasy III, the spell that read in Japanese as <b> Holy </b> was translated as <b> Pearl </b>, though it is unclear whether this was simply for creative reasons (the spell actually resembles three pearls that descend upon the enemy and explode) or because of censorship issues.
-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. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]'', Mickey can team up with Sora to perform the [[Faith Volley]] [[Team Attack]], and can team up with Riku and Sora to perform the [[True End]] Team Attack.
+* In the world of Kingdom Hearts, it appears as though the spells <b> Pearl </b>, as cast by Mickey Mouse, and <b> Holy </b>, as cast by Sora in [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]], are two distinct spells, though in Final Fantasy titles they are two differing translations of the same spell.
+* Although in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' Mickey is credited as having first appeared in the Disney short "Steamboat Willie", this is incorrect. Mickey first appeared in "Plane Crazy", but "Steamboat Willie" is often considered his first notable performance, as he was characterized very differently in "Plane Crazy".
-''Re Mind'' also shows the King to have a strong will to keep fighting even when severely weakened and outnumbered. He is able repel a blast of energy fired from the thirteen Replica Xehanorts at the same time. He can even create a blade of light over his Keyblade similar to [[Bladecharge]].
+* [[Riku]] is the only character who calls Mickey by his name, at his request.
-Mickey's base stats as a party member are 240 HP, 100 MP, 44 Strength, 45 Magic, and 42 Defense.
+* Apparently, Donald is Mickey's best friend, while they are rivals in the post-1940s Disney cartoons (though this is mostly on Donald's part); however, in the cartoons, Donald does seem to be a genuine friend to Mickey.

-==Origin==
+* In the first game, Mickey could (barely) be seen in his casual clothing. However, in later games, his attire resembled, more or less, like his original attire.
-[[File:Symbol Character - Mickey.png|thumb|100px|Mickey's famous symbol.]]
-Mickey Mouse was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928. Although it is commonly thought that ''Steamboat Willie'' was his first cartoon, it was actually ''Plane Crazy'' where he made his debut six months before, albeit in a test screening. The reason why ''Steamboat Willie'' premiered was because it was the first cartoon in history which had synchronized sound. Since then, Mickey Mouse has become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world, existing for over 95 years as the mascot of The Walt Disney Company.
-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 Allwine's final performance as Mickey, and the English versions of the game were dedicated in his memory. Mickey's current voice actor, {{w|Bret Iwan}}, gave his first full performance as Mickey in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and has since reprised the role in later ''Kingdom Hearts'' games.
+* Mickey is the only Disney character (besides [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]]) who has clothes resembling Final Fantasy characters rather than a previous outfit. (It should also be noted that they have weapons that have never before appeared with them).
-While Mickey's personality has varied greatly over time, his codifying character traits are a cheerful, gung-ho personality and a love for a good time, to the extent of being naive and easy to manipulate at times. Mickey also tends to be the voice of reason among his friend group, trying to corral and focus the antics they cause. However, Mickey himself is not above causing commotion, and often has a rebellious nature in the face of adversity, always coming up with a scheme to get everyone out of a mess. Despite the problems he may cause, Mickey truly cares for his friends and sees to their safety and happiness at any cost, even at the expense of his own health and sanity.
+*Mickey is the only chacter in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] journal to not have a full view.
