| | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''=== |
| | Pluto has a minor role in ''Kingdom Hearts'' but a notable one. Pluto is found by [[Donald]] in the throne room of [[Disney Castle]] with a letter from the King who has gone missing (he has actually gone off to fight the [[Heartless]]). Pluto later sleeps during the conversation of options between [[Queen Minnie]], Donald, [[Goofy]], [[Daisy Duck]] and [[Jiminy Cricket]]. Donald, Goofy and Jiminy are sent to locate the King and the [[Keyblade]] Master. Pluto hops into the [[Gummi Ship]] at the last moment as it departs. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
| | In [[Traverse Town]], the group witness the disappearance of a star and rush off to find [[Leon]]. Pluto wanders off into an alley way, discovering an unconscious [[Sora]], who the dog wakes up with a lick and a sudden shove. Sora asks Pluto where they are, but the dog seems to hear something and rushes off. He disappears for the remainder of the game, although it's possible he was reunited with King Mickey - as he appears suddenly at the end-credits scene carrying a letter with the King's seal. Sora, Donald and Goofy chase him over the hills. |
| When [[Data-Sora]] fixes Traverse Town's [[Bug Blox]] corruption the Journal shows everyone in Disney Castle's computer the message "Their torment has been lessened" and a scene is shown, where Sora, Donald, and Goofy first meet. The scene shifts to show Pluto in the background revealing that after the battle against the [[Guard Armor]], Pluto ran off into a Corridor of Darkness.<!--THIS SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN-UNIVERSE-->

| ===''Kingdom Hearts III''=== | | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''=== |
| Pluto happily greets Mickey when he returns to Disney Castle after Xehanort's defeat. | | Pluto has a brief appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' at the beginning. Sora, Donald and Goofy spot that he is carrying an envelope with the King's seal. Pluto rushes off, the three running after him. However, it appears they lost track of him or gave up due to it being night. However, the pursuit of Pluto leads the trio to a crossroad which eventually leads to [[Castle Oblivion]], and the events of the game. It is possible this Pluto is actually a memory form created by [[Naminé]] in order to lure Sora to the castle. |
|
| |
|
| ==Design==
| | Pluto appears as a friend card in [[Re:Chain of Memories]]. He digs up health and moogle points for Sora when summoned. It is unknown if this is the real Pluto. |
| Pluto is a dog that bears a vague resemblance to a {{w|Blood hound|blood hound}}, particularly in his long, black, droopy ears. He has short, yellow fur and large, close-set eyes. He has three toes on each paw. Pluto's long tail is very thin and black, more closely resembling his master Mickey's tail than that of a dog. His collar is green and loose. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality== | | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''=== |
| Pluto is Mickey's loyal friend. Although he does not appear often with his master, their friendship is easily seen. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Pluto is shown to take a liking to Kairi, and becomes her source of comfort. When Axel kidnaps Kairi, Pluto pursues the two through a Corridor of Darkness, and later comforts her while they were locked in the Castle's basement. | | Pluto returns in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', oddly in [[The World That Never Was]] for unknown reasons, although he seems to be tracking [[Axel]]. He chases Axel into an alley only to lose him once he enters a [[Corridor of Darkness]], but a hidden [[Riku]] opens another for him. Pluto arrives on [[Destiny Islands]] just in time to prevent [[Kairi]] from going with Axel. Pluto and Kairi escape into [[Twilight Town]] where they meet [[Hayner]], [[Pence]] and [[Olette]]. Axel soon appears and kidnaps Kairi, and Pluto chases after them. |
|
| |
|
| ==Abilities==
| | Pluto and Kairi end up imprisoned in a cell in the [[Castle That Never Was]]. They are rescued by Naminé and escape. They are soon confronted by [[Saïx]], but Riku appears in his disguise as [[Xehanort's Heartless]] and chases him off. As Riku is about to leave, Pluto blocks his path and moves Riku in the direction of Kairi. Riku allows Kairi to remove his hood. Pluto disappears until the defeat of Xemnas, leaping into a corridor made by Naminé which leads to Destiny Islands. Despite the fact that Kairi, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey and Pluto passed through the portal to the islands, Pluto was not present when Sora and Riku returned. Pluto is seen in the credits with [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Huey]], [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Dewey]], [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Louie]], [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge]], Donald, Goofy and King Mickey when they return to [[Disney Castle]]. |
| Being a dog, Pluto has naturally heightened senses, allowing him to sniff out and detect people or objects.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''===
| | In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Pluto apparently takes a liking to Kairi, as he spends most of his time with her, does not hesitate to follow Axel as he escapes with her, and attempts to comfort her when they are locked in the Castle's basement. |
| [[File:Pluto (card).png|right]]
| |
| {{main|Lucky Bounty}}
| |
| Pluto appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' as a [[friend card]] in [[Sora]]'s story.
| |
|
| |
|
| Activating a Pluto card causes him to dig up prizes such as HP orbs, [[Moogle]] points, and even unreloadable cards for Sora to use in battle. When stocked in twos or threes, Lucky Bounty is used as a sleight, offering better prizes with each level.
| | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''=== |
|
| | Pluto will be reappearing in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. Screenshots have shown Pluto and the digital [[Sora]] in an alley in [[Traverse Town]]. In a trailer for the game Pluto is shown meeting Sora before running off, as in the first game, but then is shown watching Donald, Goofy and Sora meet up before running down an alley and into a Corridor Of Darkness. It was also revealed in the trailer that King Mickey was present in Traverse Town at that time, hinting that Pluto ran off to meet up with him as many fans speculated. |
| In order for the Pluto card to be added to [[Jiminy's Journal]], it must be collected once.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Pluto Friend Card has a 20% chance of appearing instead of another Friend Card when Sora has 2 or fewer Cards left, and 9 or fewer reloadable Cards.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | *Like [[Sora]] becoming friends with [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]], and [[Riku]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]; Pluto may be the Disney friend to the original character, [[Kairi]], in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', as he keeps her company during her capture in [[The World That Never Was]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Origin==
| |
| Pluto, while not actually named, first appeared in the 1930 Disney animated short ''{{w|The Chain Gang}}''. In the short, Mickey attempts to escape from jail after tiring of smashing rocks under Pete's command. Mickey manages to escape, but is caught by police dogs, one of them greatly resembling Pluto, and is taken back to jail. He later appeared as Mickey's dog in the 1930 short, ''The Picnic'', under the name Rover, and finally debuted as Pluto in the 1931 short, ''The Moose Hunt''.
