Editing Party member

{{nihongo|'''Party members'''|仲間キャラクター|Nakama kyarakutā|lit. "Fellow character"}}, or '''Friends''' in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', 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.

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.  

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]].

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 [[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 {{c|special attack|rco}} and amount of health.<!--Party members not seen in the field. Only Data-Sora can use compiled commands and licenses.-->

==''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''==

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''==

{{sec-stub}}

<!--party missions; Hercules in 250-->

==''Kingdom Hearts III''==

During certain battles in the story, Sora will be accompanied by '''joint struggle characters'''. These characters behave identically to party members, but have fixed stats, equipment, abilities, and AI that cannot be customized.

===AI customization===

* {{Nihongo|'''Use in Emergencies'''|ピンチだけ|Pinchi dake|lit. "Only in a Pinch"}}: The friend will use recovery items/magic in an emergency.

* {{Nihongo|'''Use Like Crazy'''|いつもげんき|Itsumo Genki|lit. "Always Healthy"}}: The friend will use recovery items/magic if selected targets lose even the slightest amount of HP/MP.
