When a player's health points (HP) are reduced to zero, or they fail a required objective, they can be sent to the '''Game Over''' screen. The screen generally has two options: "Continue" (go back to the last checkpoint, usually at the start of the battle) or "Restart" (go back to the title screen and reload your saved game). However, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', a third option can randomly appear: "I won't give up!", which allows the player to continue the boss fight as [[King Mickey]] while reviving Sora.
Game Over is a term used when a character's HP reaches zero or if they fail to complete a certain objective.


==Description==
The animation of the Game Over screen varies between games. If Sora loses all of his HP, he will be shown floating prone in the darkness, with his heart hovering above his body. If he simply fails an objective, such as letting [[Minnie Mouse]] be defeated or failing to defeat [[Demyx]]'s clones in time, Sora will be shown standing, with his arms crossed and a defeated look on his face. If Roxas loses all of his HP, he will be shown in the same pose as Sora, but since he is a [[Nobody]], there will be no heart hovering above him. In the [[Mission Mode]] of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', each of the playable characters has a unique expression or pose if they fail or withdraw from a mission.
When HP reaches zero, Sora will be knocked away and the screen will turn black showing Sora floating with his heart above him. The same animation occurs in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. In Kingdom Hearts II if the player fails to complete an objective, such as letting [[Minnie Mouse]] be defeated or failing to defeat [[Demyx]]'s clones in time, the player will be brought to a game over screen showing [[Sora]] standing up with his arms crossed and a defeated look on his face. During [[Roxas]]'s prologue in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', a heart does not float over Roxas when he is defeated, as he is a [[Nobody]] and does not possess a heart. In the [[Mission Mode]], each character has their own special expression or gesture if they fail or withdraw from a mission.

When a player's health points (HP) are reduced to zero, or they fail a required objective, they can be sent to the Game Over screen. The screen generally has two options: "Continue" (go back to the last checkpoint, usually at the start of the battle) or "Restart" (go back to the title screen and reload your saved game). However, in Kingdom Hearts II, a third option can randomly appear: "I won't give up!", which allows the player to continue the boss fight as King Mickey while reviving Sora.

The animation of the Game Over screen varies between games. If Sora loses all of his HP, he will be shown floating prone in the darkness, with his heart hovering above his body. If he simply fails an objective, such as letting Minnie Mouse be defeated or failing to defeat Demyx's clones in time, Sora will be shown standing, with his arms crossed and a defeated look on his face. If Roxas loses all of his HP, he will be shown in the same pose as Sora, but since he is a Nobody, there will be no heart hovering above him. In the Mission Mode of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, each of the playable characters has a unique expression or pose if they fail or withdraw from a mission.
