==Personality==
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.

It is possible this Pluto is actually a memory form created by [[Naminé]] in order to lure Sora to the castle.
Pluto is Mickey's loyal friend. Although he does not appear often with his master, their friendship is easily seen.

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.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories[edit]

Pluto (card).png
Main article: 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.

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.

Origin[edit]

Pluto, while not actually named, first appeared in the 1930 Disney animated short 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.
