Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The '''Sidecar Glider''' is the aero-transportable vehicle that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. [[Riku]] commandeers it in [[The World That Never Was]] for the duration of  the second battle with [[Xemnas]] on the [[Castle That Never Was#Altar of Naught|Altar of Naught]]. It is only seen during the battle against [[Xemnas_(Boss)#Dragon_Form|Xemnas's Dragon Form]].  


==Story==
==Story==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
After the [[Universe_of_Kingdom_Hearts#Corridors_of_darkness|Corridor of Darkness]] leading to [[Destiny Islands]] has closed, Xemnas attacks Sora and Riku with a giant Dragon-like battleship. After the ship destroys part of the upper tower of the castle, Riku notices the glider and runs towards it closely followed by [[Sora]]. The two then continue to follow Xemnas on the Glider until [[Xemnas_(Boss)#Armored_Controller#Second_Incarnation|they face him in the ship's cockpit]], and the Glider is sucked into a void of nothingness.
After the [[Corridor of Darkness]] leading to [[Destiny Islands]] closes, Xemnas and the dragon appear to attack Sora and Riku. After the latter destroys the upper tower of the [[Castle That Never Was]], Riku notices the Glider and runs towards it, asking [[Sora]] to get on its side platform. The two follow them, fighting the dragon until they face [[Game:Xemnas#Armored Controller|Xemnas]] in the ship's cockpit, and the Glider is sucked into a void.


==Design==
==Design==
The Glider's design is similar to that of sidecar motorcycles, where a small cab is attached to the relatively larger main vehicle in order to provide for a second passenger. It shares many similarities with Terra's and Ventus's [[Keyblade Glider]]s. Like Terra's glider, the main vehicle is sharply angled at its front tip, and the seats in both are slung forward so that the driver is nearly horizontal. The sidecar's design is similar to Ventus's Glider, in that the rider must stand as though riding a [[skateboard]], allowing them to strike passing enemies.
The design for the glider is done after Sidecar motorcycles where the driver rides in a seat on the main portion of the vehicle while driving, and a secondary passenger rides in a separate seat. This same design is used for the glider. Riku drives while Sora stands on the side appendage, both of them use their [[Keyblade]]s to fight off incoming enemies. Two [[Nobody]] emblems adorn the glider, one directly in front of the driver's seat and another one on the floor of the sidecar.


==Controls==
It shares many similarities with Terra's [[Keyblade Glider]].
*{{button|dpad}}/{{button|lana}}: Move the ship.
*{{button|x}}: {{nihongo|'''Attack'''|たたかう|Tatakau}}: Sora performs his multi-target ground combo finisher, Rotating H-Slash, which can only hit the [[Bomb Bell]]s that often appear in front of Sora and Riku. If the Nobodies are hit, they will be thrown into the dragon, dealing a large amount of damage. Riku uses it automatically when the Bomb Bell Nobodies appear.
*{{button|s}}: {{nihongo|'''Laser'''|レーザー|Rēzā}}: The Glider shoots multiple lasers from an angular pod at the bottom of the Glider.
*{{button|c}}: {{nihongo|'''Drain'''|ドレイン|Dorein}}: Riku summons a barrier that absorbs the energy from oncoming lasers and fills an energy meter that, when full, allows the player to use the Megalaser [[Reaction Command]].
*{{button|t}}: {{nihongo|'''Megalaser'''|オーバーレイ|Ōbārei|lit. "Overray"}}: When the energy meter is full, Sora and Riku fire a long-lasting laser that can be aimed with {{button|lana}}.

==Features==
[[Category:Game elements]]
===Laser===
[[Category:Kingdom Hearts II]]
This weapon allows the Glider to shoot multiple lasers from a sharp pointed pod at the bottom of the Glider. This command is used by pressing {{button|s}}.
 
===Megalaser===
The Megalaser is a [[Reaction Command]] that can only be activated after filling the Megalaser bar by using Drain to convert the offensive small lasers from enemies into energy to power it up.
 
===Drain===
When Riku uses this command a barrier is created, similar to Aqua's [[Reflect]] barrier, this feature allows you to absorb some of the energy from oncoming lasers to charge up the energy meter so that you can use the Megalaser Reaction Command. It also appears to reflect some of the energy at Xemnas's ship. It is used by pressing {{button|c}}.
 
===Attack===
Commands Sora to strike with his Keyblade. Sora will do a 360-degree horizontal slash. This attack will only hit [[Bomb Bell|bomb-like Nobodies]] that often appeared in front of Sora and Riku. If those Nobodies are hit, they'll be thrown into the ship's part, dealing a good amount of damage. Riku uses it automatically when the Bomb Bell Nobodies appear. It is used by pressing {{button|x}}.
