It also leads Sora to other places in Atlantica if he lets go of the dolphin before reaching the Sunken Ship.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

In Sora, Donald, and Goofy's second visit to Atlantica, dolphins like the one who helped Sora a year ago participate in the first song, "Swim This Way". Later, several dolphins dance along to "Under the Sea" along with Sebastian and Ariel, and more dolphins take part in the performance of the final song, "A New Day is Dawning".

Design[edit]

The dolphin is a medium-sized, cetacean mammal with a dark grey body. It has two oval shaped eyes and closely resembles the features of a common dolphin. The dolphin has two flippers, a long dorsal fin, a blow hole, and a horizontal fluke split into two by a notch in the middle. The horizontal tail separates this dolphin from real dolphins in that instead of having horizontal tail fins, this dolphin's tail fins are vertical.
