'''Mushroom XIII''' is a group of Heartless that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. All thirteen Heartless that make up Mushroom XIII wear [[Black Coat|black coats]] and, like other Mushroom Heartless, must be satisfied in a special mini-game in order to be defeated. As Sora completes the challenges issued by Mushroom XIII, his results are recorded in Jiminy's Journal. | |||
When defeated, each member of Mushroom XIII drops [[Tranquility]] materials. The six even-numbered Mushroom Heartless drop Shields for [[Goofy]] to wield, while six of the seven odd-numbered Mushroom Heartless drop Staves that can be wielded by [[Donald Duck]]. Fulfilling the highest requirements for odd-numbered and even-numbered Mushroom Heartless unlocks the [[Premium Mushroom]] and [[Ultimate Mushroom]], respectively. When the thirteenth member of Mushroom XIII has been satisfied, Sora obtains the [[Proof of Peace]] and the [[Winner's Proof]] Keyblade. | |||

All of Mushroom XIII's members are, for the most part, physically identical to one another. The Mushroom Heartless all sport the same spherical, pitch-black heads and glowing, yellow eyes. They all wear black coats reminiscent of those worn by the members of Organization XIII; these coats are adorned with similar zippers, pull-strings, and hoods, although the hoods resemble mushroom caps and have twin angular, black spirals decorating them. The Heartless emblem appears on the front of each member of Mushroom XIII. | |||
Only two differences exist between the Mushroom XIII | Only two differences exist between the members of Mushroom XIII; the Heartless are all different sizes and sport different numbers on their backs. The Roman numerals on the backs of the members of Mushroom XIII are silver and range from I to XIII. These numbers denote the rank of a particular Mushroom Heartless. The sizes of the members of Mushroom XIII vary greatly; No. 5 is the largest Mushroom Heartless, while No. 8 is the smallest, being roughly half as tall as Sora. | ||
Mushroom XIII's collective name refers to its members' mushroom-like shape and resemblance to Organization XIII. | |||

No. 1 | '''No. 1''' appears at [[Memory's Skyscraper]] after Xemnas is defeated. Sora must hit it 70 times within 30 seconds. In order to get the Premium Mushroom, Sora must hit it 99 times. The key to defeat it is to wait past the initial "Reversal" reaction for the more effective "Quick Slide", which instantly makes the Mushroom open to damage—it is also possible to make the Mushroom vulnerable using Reversal, but requires at least two uses and often sends Sora in the wrong direction, negating its effect. The window on Quick Slide is very small, and as soon as it expires the Mushroom will attack Sora, wasting his time. Sora can only deal nine hits at a time, so it is wise to use [[Wisdom Form]] or [[Final Form]] in order to deal them as quickly as possible. | ||
Like Xemnas, this Heartless has the "Reversal" reaction, and like the Memory's Contortion battle, the key to dealing damage and avoiding being stunned is to use good timing with the reactions instead of mashing them as soon as possible.

No. 2 | '''No. 2''' is in [[Christmas Town]] - Christmas Tree Plaza, where [[The Experiment]] is fought. Sora must dodge or block its projectiles until the score reaches 80. [[Final Form]] is highly useful for No. 2, since nearly every action made in Final Form also guards Sora from external attacks, and the projectiles can be blocked. | ||

'''No. 4''' is in [[The Land of Dragons]] - Palace Gate. [[Shan-Yu]] must have been defeated to reach No. 4. Sora must hit 85 of the clones without getting hit once. A recommended strategy is to hit the first batch of clones normally, and then use Final Form to fly around and ram into the clones with the spinning Keyblades or using Thundaga with the Photon Debugger equipped. The Form may run out near the end of the duel, when the clones are stronger, so Sora should keep a distance and use Thundaga to destroy the last few clones and reach 85. An easier alternative is to use the Wisdom Form and move in a circular motion across the square while shooting, this way Sora can hit several clones at once without being hit. | |||

'''No. 5''' is in the [[Cave of Wonders]] - Treasure Room. Sora must defeat it in 10 seconds, without letting its health regenerate. For its fast attacks, [[Master Form]] is best used when defeating No. 5, as this gives it less recovery time. [[Limit Form]]'s Zantetsuken ground combo finisher is also extremely helpful, as it can easily chop away an entire bar of the Mushroom's health. Another strategy is to use Final Form, equipped with Fire Boost and the Bond of Flame, and keep attacking with Firaga. | '''No. 5''' is in the [[Cave of Wonders]] - Treasure Room.

The key to defeating No. 7 is by using long-range attacks. Wisdom Form works well, though Sora will have to keep gliding away from No. 7. Alternatively, one can use Limit Form's Sonic Blade, Strike Raid and Ragnarok combos to keep it at bay. Final Form and Reflega is another extremely effective method. | |||

'''No. 8''' is in Twilight Town, outside the [[Mysterious Tower]]. The objective is to bounce the mushroom around like a ping-pong ball 85 times, similar to the [[Rare Truffle]] in the first game. A way to make this easier is to equip Berserk Charge and remove all MP Haste-type abilities, use Cure to empty the MP Gauge, then repeatedly hit the Heartless with Horizontal Slash or Master Form attacks<!--is there an ability for the basic slash?-->.

*All of the Mushroom Heartless in Mushroom XIII have similar traits to the members of [[Organization XIII]]. Some of the locations where the Heartless are fought also reference where Organization members were battled. | |||
*Wisdom Form is very useful in some of the mini-games triggered by the members of Mushroom XIII. No. 1, No. 4, and, to a certain extent, No. 7 can all be defeated relatively easily with this Drive Form. The Mushroom XIII challenges were likely engineered to make Wisdom Form much more useful than in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. | |||
