===Field Battle===
===Field Battle===
In '''Field Battles''', the [[party]] runs down a musical staff, defeating enemies to the beat of the music. The team leader and party members use the same set of buttons to attack, with simultaneous enemies necessitating two or three simultaneous button presses. A set of arrows will indicate when the team leader needs to jump, whether to attack an enemy in the air or dodge an attack. Glide targets require holding the jump button to [[glide]]. Ability crystals also appear on the track, and activating them will unleash powerful abilities

===Memory Dive===
===Memory Dive===
In '''Memory Dives''', the party glides down a music sheet as cutscenes from across the series play. Instead of defeating enemies, the player must hit floating targets. In addition to the ordinary hit targets, there are hold targets that must be held and released in time and slide targets that require tilting the analog stick. Any combination of hit targets, the start or end of hold targets, and slide targets may appear simultaneously.

Instead of defeating enemies, the player has to land on the correct notes, using {{button|x}}, {{button|l1}}, and/or {{button|r1}}. For hold notes, the player needs to hold at least one of the buttons.

===Boss Battle===
===Boss Battle===
'''Boss Battles''' pit the party against a boss. Gameplay is mostly identical to Memory Dives, with the addition of ability crystals from Field Battles. During a Boss Battle, the track may sometimes enter a '''Dark Zone'''. When a Dark Zone is cleared, the boss will perform a powerful "special attack" that the party will defend against or evade; the player's performance affects the party's defense against the attack.

===One Button===
===One Button===
{{nihongo|'''One Button'''|ワンボタン|Wan Botan}} style is a significantly easier mode of play. As the name suggests, only one button is required to clear Music Stages with this style. To accommodate this simple control scheme, horizontal movement when gliding and team members' attacks are automatic. High scores and Excellent Bars earned in the One Button style are recorded separately from Basic style scores, and progress toward many [[Records]] will not be counted.

===Performer===
===Performer===
{{nihongo|'''Performer'''|パフォーマー|Pafōmā}} style is a more challenging mode that adds additional performer targets. Performer targets must be hit in time using additional buttons, with the appropriate button being displayed over the performer target. There is no penalty for missing performer targets. Successfully hitting performer targets will not increase the score or increment the chain, but instead start a performer combo, which will contribute to the Performer Bonus for extra Rhythm Points.

==Special modes==
===Co-op===
===Co-Op mode===
{{nihongo|'''Co-op'''|ダブルプレイモード|Daburu Purei Mōdo|lit. "Double Play Mode"}} is a cooperative variant of Field Battles in which two players share the field. The first player plays as Sora on the left half of the field, and the second plays as Riku on the right half, both in their ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' outfits. In addition to their normal abilities, both players have access to [[Friend Curaga]]. There are a total of 21 Co-op stages. No rewards are given for completing a stage in Co-op mode.
Co-op mode places two players against each other in a select few Field Battles. The first player plays as Sora while the second plays as Riku.
 
The charts for Co-op tracks are structured so that both players have roughly the same amount of enemies, ability crystals, and gliding sections. Instead of having one player press two buttons at once, simultaneous enemies require both players to attack in unison. Because the width of the field is smaller for each player than a normal Field Battle, all glide targets can be collected without moving from side to side (although horizontal movement is still allowed).


===VS Battle===
===VS Battle===
{{main|VS Battle}}
{{main|VS Battle}}
{{nihongo|'''VS Battle'''|バーサスモード|Bāsasu Mōdo|lit. "Versus Mode"}} is a competitive variant of Field Battles. There are several types of VS Battles which allow the player to face off against computer opponents or other players online on existing Field Battle stages. In these matches, all players have access to {{c|Trick|mom}}s which can give an edge by interfering with opponents' fields. Rewards are given as they usually would be for a Field Battle, and high scores earned in VS Battles are recorded as normal.


==Mechanics==

===Scoring===
===Scoring===
Earning a high score depends on the timing of hitting each note; for the maximum score, hit the note when the outer circle of the timing guide aligns with the inner circle. The score of a note has four different ratings: "Miss" (which does not add any points), "Good", "Excellent", and rainbow "Excellent". Successfully dodging a ranged projectile or hitting a glide target in a Field Battle will always result in a rainbow "Excellent." The score value of each note changes depending on the note type, enemy type, and total notes in the song. Because they do not contribute to the score, performer targets have their own rating, "Cool".
In all stages, each note is worth a score that varies depending on timing; for higher scores, hit the note when the outer circle of the timing guide aligns with the inner circle: The score has four different ranks: "Miss" (which does not add any points), "Good", and either a gold or rainbow "Excellent".
 
{{sec-stub}}
A "Full Chain" can be achieved by clearing a song without a single "Miss" rating, and an "All Excellent" can be achieved by clearing a song with only "Excellent" and rainbow "Excellent" ratings. Each Music Stage also has an Excellent Bar, which can be filled by hitting all notes with at least an "Excellent" rating over multiple attempts.
 
At the end of a successfully cleared Music Stage, a rank is awarded based on the total score.

===Rewards===
===Rewards===
At the end of a Music Stage, [[Rhythm Point]]s are awarded based on score and various other performance criteria. Music Stages will also drop several types of items upon a successful clear: [[Collector's Card]]s, [[synthesis]] materials, and consumable items. The number of materials earned can be increased by upgrading the Key Art Collector's Level bonus or equipping an {{c|Item Boost|item}}.

The number of materials earned can be increased by upgrading the Key Art Collector's Level bonus or equipping an {{c|Item Boost|item}}.


The Collector's Cards dropped by a given Music Stage are determined by the Collector's Card pack the stage belongs to. There are 37 different packs, each with a different set of Character, Enemy, and Keyblade Collector's Cards. There is also a random chance that a [[Treasure Chest]] will spawn at the end of a Music Stage, granting a random Key Art Collector's Card.

Nearly every Music Stage can drop three types of synthesis materials, but the advanced Crystal materials will only drop once they have been unlocked by reaching the appropriate [[Moogle Level]]. The number of synthesis materials earned is also dependent on score, with higher scores awarding up to 12 extra materials. Certain common material types are associated with a specific group of stages based on the origin of the songs: [[Pulsing]] materials are dropped by ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'' songs; [[Writhing]] materials are dropped by ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' songs; [[Betwixt]] materials are dropped by ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' songs; [[Twilight]] materials are dropped by ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' songs; and [[Mythril]] materials are dropped by ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' songs and the bonus songs in [[World Tour]].
The five consumable items are dropped at a fixed rate that is the same for every Music Stage.
