{{nihongo|'''Party members'''|仲間キャラクター|Nakama kyarakutā|lit. "Fellow character"}} are allies who fight alongside the protagonist, often with customisable behaviour, equipment, [[item]]s, and [[abilities]]. They have their own HP and MP gauges, displayed above the protagonists'. Generally, a defeated party member is knocked out temporarily for a certain period of time, unless they are healed.

{{nihongo|'''Cooperation characters'''|協力キャラクター|Kyōryoku kyarakutā}} are similar allies who only appear during certain story sequences. A distinctive feature is their lack of health gauges, which makes them invincible. 

There are also other allies who help during certain battles to provide some sort of support, often by opening up new attacks for the protagonist to use.

==''Kingdom Hearts''==
Party members have individual stats and can be equipped with [[item]]s, [[accessories]], and weapons. Party members have different base stats, {{c|abilities|KH}}, and number of item and accessory slots. Each party member has their own weapon type and cannot equip weapons of any other type. They earn experience and level up independently to [[Sora]] and are rewarded with stat boosts, new abilities, more item slots, or more accessory slots when leveling up. While [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] are permanent party members, many [[world]]s provide a third ally. World-specific party members have limitations as each of them has only one weapon that they can equip and leveling up solely grants stat boosts. 

Only two party members can be placed in the active party at a time. A menu to swap party member positions can be accessed at [[Save Point]]s and whenever a party member joins or leaves the group. This menu may also be accessed via [[Jack Skellington]]'s dialogue tree after locking his world's Keyhole. Experience is granted to party members, even if they are not in the active party or they are in another world.

In battle, pressing {{button|t}} causes party members to attack the locked-on target. There are several enemies that are never targeted by party members, including the [[White Mushroom]], [[Rare Truffle]], and [[Black Ballade]].

Some characters must be present in the active party in order to carry out certain actions.
*Both [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] are needed to activate [[Trinity Mark]]s and use [[Trinity Limit]]
*[[Aladdin]] can "[[Call]]" [[Abu]] to touch Ape Statues out of Sora's reach.
*[[Peter Pan]] can communicate with [[Tinker Bell]] in the [[Deck]] so that the party may be transported to the [[Clock Tower]].
*Sora can "[[Call]]" the [[Beast]] to destroy a damaged wall.

=== AI customization===
From the "Customize" tab in the pause menu, a party member's AI can be altered to perform actions at different frequencies, which can create specialised fighting styles. There are a number of pre-made fighting styles to select: '''Offensive''' focuses on attack, '''Defensive''' concentrates on recovery and defense, '''Conservative''' preserves MP and items, and '''Balanced''' provides a mix between offense and defense. In addition, each party member has a unique '''Personal''' fighting style and with '''Manual''', the player can create their own fighting style.

Frequencies can be set on a number of different actions and each party member has access to a particular set of actions. Each action can be set to one of three frequency levels, "Constantly", "Frequently", or "Occasionally", with the exception of the HP Items and MP Items actions which instead use "Immediately", "Frequently", and "Only in emergency".

==''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''==
{{main|Friend card}}
In sync with the game's [[Cards|card-based system]], party members are replaced with [[Friend card]]s, which temporarily call allies onto the battlefield to perform attacks.

==''Kingdom Hearts II''==
Party members have individual stats and can be equipped with items, [[armor]], accessories, and weapons. Party members have different base stats, abilities, and number of item, armor, and accessory slots. They earn experience and level up independently to Sora, which reward them with stat boosts. Obtaining bonuses provide party members with further stat boosts, new abilities, and more item, armor, and accessory slots. [[Limit]]s are new techniques that allow Sora to perform powerful attacks with a party member. While Donald and Goofy are permanent party members, many worlds provide a third ally. World-specific party members have limitations as each of them has only one weapon to equip and bonuses do not provide item, armor, and accessory slots.

Only two party members can be placed in the active party at a time but switching between party members is much smoother than in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''. In the [[Command Menu]], a "Party" command allows the player to swap out a party member on the fly, even if they are fallen. Support abilities, such as [[Auto Change]] and [[Auto Healing]], can be equipped on party members to aid the process. Party members can also be swapped around from the "Party" tab in the pause menu. Experience is granted to party members, even if they are not in the active party or they are in another world.

===AI customization===
In the menu's "Customize" tab, the player can change their party members' settings. Each enabled action ability can be set to be used at a different frequency, ranging from "Free", "Well-Balanced", or "Rare". Like Sora, party members can enable [[Auto-Reload]] through a toggle for each item slot.

Also, each party member's behaviour can be set to a particular {{nihongo|'''Battle Style'''|}}:
*{{nihongo|'''Technic Attack'''|}}: Party Members fight with their individual techniques.
*{{nihongo|'''Target Attack'''|}}: Party Members concentrate attacks on Sora's target.
*{{nihongo|'''Huddle Attack'''|}}: Party Members fight close to Sora.
*{{nihongo|'''Party Attack'''|}}: Party Members will fight a target other than Sora's.
*{{nihongo|'''Sora Attack'''|}}: While Sora attacks, Party Members will support him.
*{{nihongo|'''Relentless Attack'''|}}: Party Members defeat their target before attacking another.

==''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''==
Members of the [[Organization XIII]] are automatically assigned as party members on certain missions. Typically, only one party member accompanies [[Roxas]] on each mission, although [[Mission 56]] begins with two party members and Roxas works alone for many other missions. In battle, party members physically attack enemies and cast magic. In multiplayer [[Mission Mode]], other players are displayed as party members.

==''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''==
Party members only appear during certain events in the story, similar to cooperation characters from ''Kingdom Hearts II''. [[Friendship Command]]s are most effective within a party, especially when playing multiplayer [[Mirage Arena]]. Enemies do not grant experience if it is defeated by a party member. Some commands, like [[Group Cure]], support party members through restoration or buffs, while other commands, such as [[Trinity Limit]], are attacks that deal extra damage with party members.

In some sequences, an ally must be escorted through an area of [[Unversed]]. A "Damage" gauge fills up when the ally takes damage, forcing "Game Over" when full. 

In the company of a party member or escorted ally, [[Dimension Link]]s are disabled and several [[Reaction Command]]s may be triggered.

==''Kingdom Hearts coded''==
Only two worlds feature party members in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', and they each use different gameplay systems.

In [[Olympus Coliseum]]'s turn-based combat [[Labyrinth]], party members are controlled by the player in the same way as [[Data-Sora]], although "Game Over" only occurs if Data-Sora dies. Each party member has a different [[special attack]] and amount of health.<!--Party members not seen in the field. Only Data-Sora can use compiled commands and licenses.-->

In [[Hollow Bastion I]], Data-Sora cannot attack and instead issues instructions to his party members. In place of [[Attack]], the [[Ask for Help]] command cycles the party members' focus between following Data-Sora, attacking enemies, and destroying [[Bug Blox]]. Deck commands are replaced with new commands that party members carry out; a deck command's type determines which party member executes the new command. Finish commands are disabled, except [[Spinner Ray]] which can be used when both party members have joined the party. If a party member's HP is reduced to 0, they can be revived by going to them and using [[Rescue]].

==''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''==
{{See also|Dream Eater}}
Spirit [[Dream Eater]]s act as Sora and Riku's party members and are synthesized out of [[Dream Piece]]s. They each have different stats, abilities, and [[Ability Link]] boards. The new [[Link System]] allows characters to perform powerful techniques with Spirits. Only three Spirits can be brought into the party at a time and only two fight alongside Sora or Riku. Spirit positions can be changed within the party by dragging their icons around on the touch screen. Experience is only awarded to those in the party. In the "Spirits" tab of the pause menu, Spirits can be placed in and out of the party. If a Spirit's HP reaches 0, it can be revived by using [[Rescue]] within 30 seconds; failure to do so results in the Spirit reverting to a [[Dream Piece]] permanently. When selecting a New Game Plus, Spirits carry over with their stats.

In the opening battle against [[Ursula]] on the [[Destiny Islands]], Riku acts as a cooperation member to Sora. Riku can attack with his [[Soul Eater]] and heal.

==''Kingdom Hearts χ''==
Players can form Parties with each other of up to thirty members, which allows them permanent access to each other's Friend Medals and Raid Bosses, while also allowing the Player to activate a daily 5% [[Lux Boost]] towards the party's total, participate in Weekly Party Rankings, access a Party Chat, and compare stats.

Party's can recruit unaffiliated Players, while Players can also request to join Parties. The Parties can be set to accept players automatically or at a party admin's discretion.

==''Kingdom Hearts III''==
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', some worlds will have two party members, and all party members remain active.

Rapunzel will leave the party after the main story in Kingdom of Corona, and won't be available as a party member afterwards.

During some story fights, certain party members join you.
