Editing Reality Shift

[[File:Riku Reality Shift Dive KH3D.png|thumb|In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', using Reality Shifts has the user dive into the bottom screen.]]

'''{{nihongo|Reality Shift|リアリティシフト|Riariti Shifuto}}''' is a gameplay element that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. Reality Shifts can be used to damage nearby enemies or to interact with the field, often allowing access to new areas. Each playable world has at least one Reality Shift associated with it.

When an enemy or a certain object in the field is marked by a pink, oval-shaped reticule, the player can press {{button|dsa}} and {{button|dsx}} simultaneously, press ZL<ref>Requires a Circle Pad Pro accessory or a New 3DS system.</ref> or swipe downwards on the touchscreen to activate the Reality Shift, which requires players to complete an action on the Nintendo 3DS's touchscreen. When the Reality Shift is activated, [[Sora]] or [[Riku]] dives into the bottom screen, and the action on the top screen is paused until the action is completed; furthermore, the character does not take damage until the Reality Shift is completed.

 

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD]]'', Reality Shifts are activated by pressing {{button|t}} and {{button|c}} simultaneously. Instead of diving into the bottom screen, Sora and Riku raise their Keyblades followed by a flash of light. Actions that required the touchscreen are reworked to use normal button inputs. In the international releases of the game, due to {{button|c}} being mapped to jump instead of attacking, activating a Reality Shift causes the character to simultaneously use the currently selected command, which goes to cooldown if not already.

|-

|style="font-size:90%"|The targeted enemy or object appears in a bubble which can be dragged around the touchscreen to move a targeting reticule. Upon release, the enemy or object is flung across the field to the targeted point, inflicting significant damage to the flung object and damaging any enemies or objects nearby. As such, it can be used to reveal [[Treasure Chest]]s by destroying stacks of boxes or packages.

|-

|style="font-size:90%"|When used on an enemy, blue and white icons appear on the touchscreen, representing the enemies on the field. The player must draw a continuous line connecting the icons. Once finished, the line becomes a rope connecting the Dream Eaters, and Sora or Riku slide along the rope, dealing damage to the Dream Eaters along the way. If a loop is created with the rope, Sora or Riku will make two circuits around the loop, dealing extra damage.

|-

|style="font-size:90%"|Lines of ever-changing data appear on the touchscreen. Occasionally, specific colored words or word fragments appear within the data. The player can tap these keywords to freeze them onscreen. When all the necessary words of a single color have been tapped, a {{w|subroutine}} determined by the combined keyword appears on the top screen, then disappears as it takes effect.

There are several subroutines than can be activated, some only against certain targets. For example, "SWITCH TARGET" can cause a Dream Eater, [[Black Guard]], or turret to attack your enemies.

|style="font-size:90%"|The target appears on the outside of a ring on the touchscreen. The player must pull the bubble in the center of the ring in the opposite direction of the target to spray bubbles at it as it moves. After the target has been sprayed for long enough, it is enveloped in a bubble and returns to the top screen. Sora or Riku then stands on top of the bubble, which can be moved freely around the field, picking up other objects or Dream Eaters by touching them. The bubble can then be burst with the attack command or the jump command, the latter enabling a superjump Flowmotion.

|{{nihongo|[[File:RS Sprite Wonder Comic KH3D.png|200px|link=Wonder Comic]]<br>|ワンダーコミック|<br>Wandā Komikku}}

|style="font-size:90%"|The target appears in the center of a ''{{w|Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers|Three Musketeers}}'' comic book on the touchscreen. The player must swipe the touchscreen in the manner and direction indicated by arrows that appear on the page, in a straight motion or a spiraling motion. After a few of these, the target will be launched back to the field.
