In the original ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', most of the summons are obtained by finding special gems called "[[Summon Gems]]" in various [[world]]s. The gems can then be given to the [[Fairy Godmother]], staying at [[Merlin]]'s House in [[Traverse Town]]; she uses her [[magic]] to restore their spirit forms and release their powers, thus making the summon creatures available. All of these summons are victims of the Heartless' quest to destroy the worlds. As explained by the Fairy Godmother, the summon gems are the crystallized forms of strong, good-hearted denizens that did not fall victim to the [[darkness]] during the destruction of their worlds, and so are able to be called into battle for a limited time. Summons are classified under the [[Command Menu]]'s "Magic" command in the original release, but in ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'', it is classified into a separate command instead. | In the original ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', most of the summons are obtained by finding special gems called "[[Summon Gems]]" in various [[world]]s.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' Sora obtains [[summon card]]s during his ascent of [[Castle Oblivion]]. Some [[magic card]]s enable Sora to perform summons. These cards are created from Sora's memories, so the summons are the same ones from ''Kingdom Hearts'', with the addition of [[Cloud]]. They also differ in how they play out, as playing or stacking a different number of cards has different results, much like Magic and [[Friend card]]s (for example, one Cloud card will use a normal slash, while two make a Cross-slash and three make an Omnislash). However, Sora is unable to activate cards while the summon is active, contrary to [[enemy card]]s. | In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' Sora obtains [[summon card]]s during his ascent of [[Castle Oblivion]].

The Summon menu in ''Kingdom Hearts'' is located within the [[Magic]] menu in the original and ''Final Mix'' and the fourth Command Slot in ''HD 1.5 ReMIX'' during battle. Each summon requires a specific amount of MP to be performed, and the summon lasts until its MP bar is fully consumed (or until the player dismisses it manually). In order to perform a summon, the player needs to have two friends in the battle with him, and they must both be conscious.

Each summon requires a specific amount of MP to be performed, and the summon lasts until its MP bar is fully consumed (or until the player dismisses it manually). The MP the summon has increases with Sora's MP capacity, and is further increased by Cheer abilities. In order to perform a summon, the player needs to have two friends in the battle with him, and they must both be conscious. This means that Sora cannot perform summons during battles he fights alone, or when one or both of his allies are unconscious. | ||
Summons cannot be called when flying or swimming (though some can remain active if already called before entering a flying or swimming state), and certain summons will be instantly dismissed when Sora flies and moves too far away from them. | |||

The Summon menu was given its own slot in the Command Menu in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' because of the inclusion of a second menu that could be accessed during battle. In addition, ''Kingdom Hearts II'' summons no longer require MP to be summoned; they now use the [[Drive Gauge]] to count down their time instead, and again the player must have two friends in battle in order to perform a summon. Each summon behaves differently during combat and has its own [[Limit]]. | The Summon menu was given its own slot in the Command Menu in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' because of the inclusion of a second menu that could be accessed during battle.
