{{Q|Helping others always comes before asking others for help.|King Mickey}}

'''King Mickey''', often referred to as '''The King''', '''Mickey'''<ref>Minnie calls him Mickey in Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance.</ref>, '''Your Majesty''', or simply '''Mickey Mouse''', is the king of [[Disney Castle]] and a recurring character in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' series. He travels the worlds battling the forces of darkness and is a [[Keyblade Master]], and the chosen Keyblade wielder for the [[Realm of Darkness]], though he follows the path of light. Originally believing that the 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]].

Originally a ship's hand working with Captain [[Pete]] at [[Timeless River]], Mickey eventually became a student of the [[Keyblade Master]] [[Yen Sid]]. Mickey was a main player 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 work against the monsters.

===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

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.

<!--KH3D allows Sora and Riku to interfere with ''dreams'' of the past. There was no time travel on their end.

In the past, Mickey was Yen Sid's Apprentice in [[Symphony of Sorcery]]. When Sora and Riku came to awaken the world, a Spellican Dream Eater has put him into a dream; one horrific nightmare about the brooms flooding the room with water and the other with him mastering the magic of Yen Sid's hat. They each have to go to different symphony areas to find the music to break the spell on Mickey. Successful, they defeated the Dream Eater and broke Mickey free of its control.

Sometime after the events of [[Symphony of Sorcery]]<ref>He mentions that he is training to be a Keyblade Master but is only studying magic during the events of [[Symphony of Sorcery]]</ref>, Mickey was a musketeer alongside Donald and Goofy in [[Country of the Musketeers]]. When Sora first came here, he meets Mickey, who tells him that he knows about the Keyblade and the other worlds. They were assigned to guard Princess Minnie by Captain Pete. When Mickey later founds out about Pete's true personality, he was kidnapped by him and was taken to the dungeon on the island that will flood when the tide comes in. He was later rescued by Sora, Donald, and Goofy, stopped Pete's scheme, and were dubbed royal musketeers by Princess Minnie.

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.

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 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. By using the material from the meteors themselves to make a Gummi Ship, Mickey travels to [[Radiant Garden]] and meets [[Ansem the Wise]]. Mickey befriends Ansem and tells him of his concern about the growing Darkness between the worlds. It is also here that Mickey meets [[Xehanort]]. Seeing him seems to disturb the King.

[[File:Kingdom Hearts is Light 04 KH.png|left|thumb|Inside the Door to Darkness, Mickey appears to seal the door from the inside.]]

King Mickey leaves his home, Disney Castle, leaving a note instructing [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] to "find [[Keyblade|the Key]]". King Mickey arrives in [[Traverse Town]] at the same time as Sora, but keeps himself out of sight. Pluto follows him through a [[Corridor of Darkness]] into the Realm of Darkness, where Mickey finds the [[Kingdom Key D|Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness]] needed to seal the Door to Darkness. By the time the Final Keyhole was opened, Mickey finds [[Riku]], whose body had been stolen by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and quickly becomes allies with him. After the defeat of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], he helps Sora to seal Kingdom Hearts to prevent the Heartless from escaping through it. Although Sora is reluctant to leave Mickey and Riku trapped within the Realm of Darkness, Mickey assures them that there will always be a door to the light, and thanks Donald and Goofy for their loyalty.

===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===

[[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. 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.

Some time after this, the two of them walk through the [[Great Maw]], where Riku momentarily collapses under the strain of the darkness in his heart. Although a concerned Mickey tries to help, Riku shrugs him off. The two of them eventually split up.

[[File:Mickey and Riku-Ansem.PNG|thumb|left|Mickey promises Riku not to tell what has happened to him.]]

King Mickey appears in the Twilight Town woods facing Riku, who has taken on the form of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. Mickey readies to attack as Riku calmly ties his blindfold into place, and looks shocked at Riku changing appearance. Then Riku makes Mickey promise not to tell Sora what happened to him when he wakes up.

Sometime after Riku leaves DiZ's employ, he encounters Mickey and gives him the [[Munny#Story|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 hands Sora the pouch of munny Riku gave him and instructs him to visit his mentor, Yen Sid, running off afterward. Yen Sid reveals that Mickey's reasons for leaving Disney Castle in the first place was to investigate the mysterious outbreak of [[Heartless]] and the more mysterious [[Organization XIII|Organization]].

[[File:The Truth About Ansem 01 KHII.png|thumb|left|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.

[[File:Xemnas Asks a Question 02 KHII.png|thumb|right|Mickey explains that one cannot live in a world without light nor darkness.]]

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 his wife [[Queen Minnie]].

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.

[[File:Ending 01 KHREC.png|thumb|left|thumb|Mickey writing the letter to Sora.]]

After everything in the journal was restored, Mickey returns to the real world to write the [[Mickey's Letters#Second Letter|letter]] to Sora to tell him about those who need him to heal their sadness, and a new journey is about to begin.

Later, Mickey reports to Yen Sid that he believes he has finally found where Ventus's missing heart is, leaving only Terra's heart to be found. Their discussion quickly shifts towards the topic of Master Xehanort, who Mickey is stunned to learn will return due to the defeat of his Heartless, Ansem, and his Nobody, Xemnas, and the subsequent restoration of Xehanort. Fearing that they may have to fight more than a "single one of Xehanort", Yen Sid orders Mickey to bring Sora and Riku before him so that they may take the [[Mark of Mastery]] exam.

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

Mickey is present with Donald and Goofy in the Mysterious Tower as Yen Sid puts Sora and Riku through the Mark of Mastery exam in the Sleeping Worlds. While overseeing it, Mickey receives a note from Maleficent and Pete along with Minnie's crown, ordering him to return to Disney Castle, where he finds them holding Minnie hostage. Maleficent demands that Mickey hand the [[Datascape]] over to her, but Mickey refuses. [[Lea]] arrives and helps free Minnie. Mickey orders Maleficent to leave, and he and his friends return to the Mysterious Tower.

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 his lackeys retreat, but swear revenge.

==Appearance==

Mickey is an anthropomorphic mouse with black fur, round ears of the same color, and a thin, long, black tail. 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.

This design was eventually used as a base to create Sora's outfit in the first ''Kingdom Hearts''. As he is not physically present until the final cutscene, at which point he is still only a silhouette, Jiminy was incapable of recording the King's outfit in the journal. However, if one looks closely, Mickey is wearing his normal Disney attire from his cartoons.

Long ago, when Mickey was a resident of Timeless River, he looked different than he did in the present day. He is colored in grayscale like the other inhabitants of the world. He is modeled after his appearance in older Disney cartoons like Steamboat Willie. Mickey's face is white and his eyes are simple black ovals. His fur is black, as are his ears, which are simple black circles. Like in the older cartoons he is from, no matter which direction Mickey himself is facing, his ears are always facing the screen. He wears the famous white gloves common to many older Disney characters. His shorts are white and have two buttons on the front. His shoes are also white, and he does not wear a shirt. Mickey also sports a thin, long tail.  

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Mickey wears a black vest with white lining, two yellow buttons near the bottom, and a zipper that only reaches about halfway down the vest. Under this vest he wears a short-sleeved shirt that is seems to be the same black, white-lined color scheme as his vest, though the cuffs of the sleeves are red. His pants are red and quite baggy. The pockets have white lining. Similar to Goofy, the front of Mickey's pant legs are pulled up slightly by elastic, blue straps. Mickey's shoes here are also yellow, but the tips and lower halves are black and the soles are white. Each shoe has two blue straps that intersect over the top of the shoe.

While training under Yen Sid during ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Mickey's outfit is virtually identical to the way it looks in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', except for the color: Mickey's clothing is colored in greyscale, losing all the colors it had, save for black, white, and grey, making it similar to Sora's outfit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He also attacks using the teeth of his Star Seeker as opposed to the broad edge of the Kingdom Key D in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', adding more contrast between his appearances in both games.

During ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' and the early stages of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Mickey wears the black coat, gloves, and shoes that Organization XIII members wear. Though largely the same as the other coats, Mickey's apparently has contortions in the hood for his ears, and the drawstrings on his version sport Hidden Mickey symbols on the tips. 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.

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 surprising 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 person, as shown when he defeated three [[Darkside]] Heartless in a single blow just after the battle with Ansem. King Mickey is extremely skilled with a Keyblade, despite him being one of the only two Disney characters capable of wielding one. 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 [[Kingdom Key D]], a Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness. Due to his small size, Mickey has also shown to have great agility, as he is usually seen doing back flips while using his [[Keyblade]]. King Mickey wields his Star Seeker in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', just as he did in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Mickey is probably the strongest proponent of the [[Light]], although his devotion to it is eventually tempered by his friendship with [[Riku]].

In terms of magic, Mickey is also very apt. ''Kingdom Hearts II'' demonstrated Mickey's ability to use "Pearl," a clearly light based spell, and "Holy", the ultimate light magic. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', he is shown to heal Ventus with [[Cure]] after Vanitas beat him. In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Mickey is shown casting [[Stop]]za, freezing everyone in [[Where Nothing Gathers]] in time.

Mickey is very able outside of combat, as well. He has spent a large amount of time in the Dark Realm, and his Dark Realm Keyblade, the Kingdom Key D, is a polar opposite to Sora's Light Realm Keyblade, the Kingdom Key. 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]] 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.

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', The King is a friend card used solely by Riku. This card will summon King Mickey, healing Riku slightly, hurting all enemies and stunning them for a short time, and restocking Riku's deck. Stocking these cards will allow you to use the only sleight you can as regular Riku, MM Miracle. It increases the amount you are healed and the damage done to enemies. It is one of the few ways Riku can heal himself, the other being the Oogie Boogie enemy card. In Re:Chain of Memories only, Riku can also 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.

<!--move to Game:

====''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 "I won't give up!" 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 only reaction command is to slowly charge his Drive Gauge. Once the Drive Gauge is 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''', Mickey will instead use a potion to heal Sora so that he regains half of his HP, although his MP 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 beat the boss to the point where only Sora can finish the battle before reviving him.

These are the battles in which King Mickey can appear:

*[[Blizzard Lord]] and [[Volcano Lord]]

====''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''====

King Mickey is playable in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'''s [[Mission Mode]], wearing his [[Organization XIII]] cloak. To unlock him, the player must complete every mission, which will make the item ''"Return of the King"'' available from the Moogle shop. Purchasing it will unlock him. He wields both the Star Seeker and the Kingdom Key D, along with several upgraded forms of the latter.

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 6 months before. The reason for this is that Steamboat Willie was the first cartoon Mickey appeared in which had sound, as well as Mickey being characterized very differently in Plane Crazy. Since then, Mickey Mouse has become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world, existing for 82 years.

On May 18, 2009, Mickey's original voice actor, 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; the new official voice actor for him is {{w|Bret Iwan}}, who gave his first full performance as Mickey in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and later voiced him in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''.
