"Keyblade Rider"}} is a [[Formchange]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It allows the user to transform the [[Keyblade]] into a vehicle to fly, even to other worlds. [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] are known users of Keyblade Gliders. In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', [[Sora]] briefly Formchanges the [[Nano Gear]] Keyblade into a Keyblade Glider as a transition into the [[Nano Arms]] Formchange.
{{nihongo|'''Keyblade Glider'''|キーブレードライダー|Kīburēdo Raidā|lit. "Keyblade Rider"}} is an ability demonstrated in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] have the ability to turn their [[Keyblade]]s into vehicles, which they can use to travel to other worlds, race against others, or even attack. This ability has only been demonstrated by the trio, and it is unknown if any other Keyblade wielder can use it.


They use their Keyblade Gliders different from each other. Terra rides his Keyblade like a motorcycle and attacks enemies by turning his Glider around, hitting the enemies with great strength. Aqua rides her Keyblade like a pair of water skis, thus she can use the upper part of her Glider as a bow and hovering platform, capable of hitting enemies from far away, also in a way similar to her attacks in Spellweaver [[Command Style]]. Ventus rides his Keyblade like a skateboard that has wings with fast and quick reflexes.
When summoning the Keyblade Glider, Keyblade wielders generally throw the Keyblade into the sky, where it Formchanges into its vehicle mode. However, the specific model of Keyblade Glider differs depending on the user. Terra's Keyblade Glider resembles a bike or jet ski, Ventus's is shaped like a skateboard or surfboard, and Aqua's is a two-part bow-and-platform device mounted like water ski or scooter. The Keyblade wielders can also use their glider to attack: Terra rams his glider into the enemy, Ventus spins his glider around at the target, and Aqua uses the bow of her vehicle as a literal energy bow, firing shots at enemies from far away. Sora's Nano Gear Keyblade turns into a Glider resembling Ventus's, but he uses it merely as a transition into Nano Arms.

No matter the Keychain attached to the Keyblade when the glider is formed, the glider's design is based on a single Keyblade model — [[Ends of the Earth]] for Terra,  [[Wayward Wind]] for Ventus, [[Stormfall]] for Aqua, and Nano Gear for Sora. However, during the [[Rumble Racing]] mini-game, the gliders are given a completely different color scheme.

;Attacks
* Keyblade Glider is a tactic occasionally used by the [[Lingering Sentiment]] when it battles Sora in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. Also, the Sentiment appears to borrow abilities from Aqua's and Ven's Keyblade Gliders, such as Ven's speed and Aqua's magical abilities.

*'''Ventus''': {{nihongo|Air Gyre|エアレイヴ|Ea Reivu|lit. "Air Rave"}}: Ven spins his Keyblade Glider around at targets.
* Ventus's usage of Keyblade Glider like a skateboard may explain how Roxas and Sora inexplicably know how to ride a skateboard.

Keyblade Glider (キーブレードライダー Kīburēdo Raidā?, lit. "Keyblade Rider") is a Formchange in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to transform the Keyblade into a vehicle to fly, even to other worlds. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua are known users of Keyblade Gliders. In Kingdom Hearts III, Sora briefly Formchanges the Nano Gear Keyblade into a Keyblade Glider as a transition into the Nano Arms Formchange.

When summoning the Keyblade Glider, Keyblade wielders generally throw the Keyblade into the sky, where it Formchanges into its vehicle mode. However, the specific model of Keyblade Glider differs depending on the user. Terra's Keyblade Glider resembles a bike or jet ski, Ventus's is shaped like a skateboard or surfboard, and Aqua's is a two-part bow-and-platform device mounted like water ski or scooter. The Keyblade wielders can also use their glider to attack: Terra rams his glider into the enemy, Ventus spins his glider around at the target, and Aqua uses the bow of her vehicle as a literal energy bow, firing shots at enemies from far away. Sora's Nano Gear Keyblade turns into a Glider resembling Ventus's, but he uses it merely as a transition into Nano Arms.

No matter the Keychain attached to the Keyblade when the glider is formed, the glider's design is based on a single Keyblade model — Ends of the Earth for Terra, Wayward Wind for Ventus, Stormfall for Aqua, and Nano Gear for Sora. However, during the Rumble Racing mini-game, the gliders are given a completely different color scheme.

Keyblade Glider is also the special event for the "Keyblade" and "Secret" Command Boards. When activated, the player boards their Keyblade Glider, and can move to any spot they choose on the board.
