| |
| '''King Mickey''', simply referred to as (王様, ''His Highness'' or ''Your Highness'' depending on context) in the Japanese version, is the king of [[Disney Castle]]. He travels the worlds in search of the Keyblade Master. He is voiced by Wayne Allwine.
| |
| | |
| Though he is known as the King of Disney Castle, his true name is '''Mickey Mouse'''.
| |
| | |
| King Mickey is an incredibly powerful character in the KH Universe. He has appeared in all currently released Kingdom Hearts games and will be in all announced games. First studying under [[Yen Sid]], Mickey is possibly the inventor of [[Gummi Ship]]s, the first to realize the threat of darkness spreading between worlds, and one the characters most strongly affiliated with light, including [[Sora]]. This is not always readily apparent, as his character remains very simple spoken, colloquial, and light-hearted. But contrary to this appearance, King Mickey has played a major role in all Kingdom Hearts games.

| ===Kingdom Hearts===
| |
| ''King of Disney Castle. He set out to learn more about the darkness, and left instructions for Donald and Goofy to find and follow the key bearer. No one knows where King Mickey is now, but they are determined to find him. He made his debut in "Steamboat Willie" (1928).''

| ===Kingdom Hearts II===
| |
| ''The king of Disney Castle. He was the first to realize what a threat the darkness was, and the first to act. King Mickey travels across the worlds, battling the Heartless and searching for an answer to the riddle of Organization XIII and the Nobodies.''
| |
| | |
| ''After many great battles, the King seems even more determined than ever to fight against the darkness.''

| [[Image:Mickey In kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.jpg|thumb|100px|left|King Mickey in ''Birth by Sleep'']]
| |
| King Mickey will be appearing in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]]''. A screenshot has shown him with the [[Star Seeker]] Keyblade, protecting [[Ven]].
| |
| | |
| As seen in the ''[[Birth By Sleep]]'' secret video in ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'', Mickey was a witness to a fight between [[Terra]], [[Ven]], and [[Aqua]] and [[Master Xehanort]] and [[Master Xehanort's Apprentice|His Apprentice]], with [[Star Seeker]] in hand. In the trailer, he sees the blue, Kingdom Hearts-ish symbol in the sky and seems very concerned by it.
| |
| | |
| In this game, he is still an apprentice of [[Yen Sid|Master Yen Sid]] and is wielding the [[Star Seeker]]. Mickey, along with [[Master Xehanort]] (and possibly [[Master Xehanort's Apprentice]]), seems to be the only Keyblade wielder among the ones in Birth By Sleep whose Keyblade has a Keychain. Whether or not this has any true importance is not yet known.
| |
| | |
| ===Story between ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
| |
| Upon realizing the crumbling of the worlds' barriers, Mickey sought out help for his concerns, and the danger he seemed to expect. By using the barrier's material itself to make a [[Gummi Ship]], Mickey traveled to [[Radiant Garden]] and met [[Ansem the Wise]]. Mickey befriended Ansem, and told Ansem of his concern of the growing darkness between the worlds. It was also here that Mickey met [[Xehanort]]. His meeting seemed to disturb the King.
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts''===
| |
| ''Kingdom Hearts'' marks the first appearance of Mickey in the series. Before actually appearing onscreen, Mickey gives instructions to his subjects through a message from [[Pluto]]. Not seen until the end of the game, in ''Kingdom Hearts'', King Mickey left from his home, [[Disney Castle]], leaving a note instructing [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] to "find the Key". In his journeys, King Mickey had passed the [[Corridor of Darkness]] at [[Traverse Town]] and found the [[Mickey's Kingdom Key|Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness]]. Within the realm of darkness, he meets [[Riku]], asking him about his heart. At the end of Kingdom Hearts, he helps [[Sora]] to seal Kingdom Hearts to prevent the Heartless from escaping it. It was the choice of Mickey and Riku to stay behind in the [[Realm of Darkness]] that started [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] on their quests in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
| |
| In ''Chain of Memories'', Mickey does not appear in Sora's storyline (though he is mentioned) but instead appears in [[Riku]]'s. In Riku's storyline, he helps Riku to fight off the influence of Ansem, who had made attempts to take over Riku's body as he did in the first Kingdom Hearts. He is also the first to meet [[DiZ]], [[Ansem the Wise]] in disguise, although he does not remember who he is. He chooses to join Riku on his path to "the dawn", taking with him a robe of Organization XIII.

| |
| [[Image:Hdsk.jpg|thumb|100px|left|King Mickey appears to be in the [[Twilight Town]] Woods.]]
| |
| | |
| King Mickey will be appearing in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. Screenshots have shown him dressed in his [[Organization XIII]] robe. He was also shown talking to someone in an Organization robe in the Twilight Town Woods. Mickey realizes something, jumps back, and summons his Keyblade.
| |
| | |
| This persons face was concealed but it is rumored that the person is Riku, hinting that this is the part where Riku gives Mickey the pouch and where Riku makes King Mickey promise not to tell Sora what's become of him.
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
| |
| [[Image:Mickey Cloaked.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Mickey wearing his [[Black Cloak]]]]
| |
| | |
| In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Mickey appears far more often then he had in the previous Kingdom Hearts games. He also appears as a secret summon.
| |
| | |
| Mickey first appears to help Sora to fend off the Nobodies that attacked them in [[Twilight Town]] posing as somewhat of a fake Organization XIII member. After the battle, he handed Sora a money pouch and instructed him to visit his mentor, [[Yen Sid]]. Yen Sid revealed that Mickey's reasons for leaving [[Disney Castle]] in the first game was to investigate the mysterious outbreak of [[Heartless]] and the more mysterious [[Organization XIII|Organization]]. Mickey makes several appearances throughout the game, and is even playable when Sora is defeated in certain boss battles. He wields an alternate version of the [[Mickey's Kingdom Key|Kingdom Key]].
| |
| | |
| At [[Hollow Bastion]], Mickey revealed the truth about [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]], but was reluctant to reveal any info on [[Riku]]. He then aides the group in fending off the [[Heartless]] that [[Maleficent]] has summoned to destroy [[Radiant Garden]]. When he and Sora confront [[Xemnas]], he jumps after Xemnas into the dark portal, but since he appears later in Twilight Town, it is apparent that he could not follow Xemnas all the way. When Sora meets him in Twilight Town, they find a way into [[the World That Never Was]] through the [[Virtual Twilight Town]] [[DiZ]] had created. When they enter the world, Mickey goes ahead of Sora to look for Ansem the Wise. He eventually finds him, and rescues him from death. Ansem then attempts to use his machine to convert [[Kingdom Hearts]] into data, but was unsuccessful and dies when the machine explodes. Mickey then confronts Xemnas with Sora, and Riku, and watches as Xemnas opens Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas then blocks out King Mickey from participating in the final fight, first by launching a building at him and Kairi, closing Kingdom Hearts, and then closes the dark portal to the Destiny Islands, so Mickey, Donald, and Goofy could not return to aid Sora and Riku.
| |
| | |
| After Sora and Riku end the Organization's plot, Mickey waits with Donald, Goofy, and Kairi on Destiny Islands for their return. Once they do, he then runs to Riku and congratulates them both for defeating [[Organization XIII]]. He also writes a letter to Sora, Riku, and Kairi, and it is revealed to them in the end of the game, although it's contents are unknown to the player. After the end credits King Mickey is seen returning with Donald and Goofy to Disney Castle where he reunites with his wife Queen Minnie where they share a cartoonish kiss and their tails form a heart ending the sequence for Disney Castle.

| |
| [[Image:Img003.jpg|thumb|100px|left|King Mickey in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'']]
| |
| King Mickey is also going to reappear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. He is the one who digitalized [[Jiminy's Journal]]. He, [[Jiminy Cricket]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] are trying to solve the mystery of the the journal's odd entries. The screenshots have shown him in gameplay along with [[Sora]]. The two of them are shown jumping on red and black blocks. The screenshot to the right shows Mickey with what seems to be the Star Seeker keyblade.

| | |
| ==Powers and Abilities==
| |
|
| |
| King Mickey is extremely skilled with a keyblade. He uses his size and agility to maximize his advantages and wear down his foes, flipping and spinning attacks, and finishing them with wide strokes of his blade. It is possible to assume he gained his abilities from his training with Yen Sid. It's also known that Mickey has used two Keyblades: [[Star Seeker]] and [[Mickey's Kingdom Key|The Realm of Darkness's Kingdom Key]].
| |
| | |
| In terms of magic, Mickey is also very apt. [[Kingdom Hearts II]] demonstrated Mickey's ability to use "Pearl," a clearly light based spell. In [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]] he aids [[Riku]] by restoring his deck and healing his HP when summoned.
| |
| | |
| Mickey is very able outside of combat, as well. He has spent a large amount of time in the Dark Realm, and his keyblade seems to be the opposite of Sora's. As a testament to his heart's strength, Mickey has never once fought with his inner darkness. He can travel easily within the [[Corridor of Darkness]]s and seems to be completely unaffected by it. Based on the [[Ansem Reports]], Mickey is said to have discovered the properties of [[Gummi Blocks|Gummi]] material and used it to travel to other worlds.
| |
| | |
| ==Playing as the King==
| |
| In battles against bosses, if Sora is defeated after one of his party members has fallen, an alternate menu option will appear. Instead of the normal "Continue" and "Load Game," Sora is then given the option "I won't give up...". If this option is chosen, the player is able to play as Mickey temporarily.
| |
| | |
| In battle, Mickey can perform two attacks: the first being simply "Attack," and the other being "Pearl," a magical attack. Like Sora, the circle button allows the player to jump and the triangle button preforms reaction commands. However Mickey's only reaction command is to slowly charge his Drive Gauge. Once full, Mickey can activate "Healing Light" which will fully recover Sora's HP and MP and causes the player to continue playing as Sora. If Mickey is defeated before using Healing Light, Sora will still regain half of his HP, but no MP. While Mickey can deal damage, it is impossible to actually defeat a boss as Mickey due to the fact that he lacks a finishing move. However, Mickey is very powerful and it's wise to use him to beat the boss to the point where only Sora can finish the battle before reviving Sora.

| ===Final Visit to Twilight Town===
| |
| When [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] revisit Twilight Town to find the mansion of a photo they got from [[Riku]], they were overrun by Nobodies and King Mickey appears to give them assistance. This is the only occasion that King Mickey becomes a helpful ally instead of replacing Sora in a boss battle.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Mickey was originally intended to be the main protagonist of the series with Donald and Goofy by his side, but Square insisted on a human protagonist and Sora, along with Riku and Kairi, were born. He bears much of Mickey's trademark apparel, such as white gloves and big yellow shoes.
| |
| * Mickey's <b>Pearl</b> is a variant of the recurring Final Fantasy spell <b>Holy</b>, which has been translated in various titles as <b>Fade</b>, <b>White</b>, and <b>Pearl</b> due to a barring of religious imagery America by Nintendo, then the publisher of Square's games. In ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]'', released in the US first as Final Fantasy III, the spell that read in Japanese as <b>Holy</b> was translated as <b>Pearl</b>, though it is unclear whether this was simply for creative reasons (the spell actually resembles three pearls that descend upon the enemy and explode) or because of censorship issues.
| |
| *In the world of Kingdom Hearts, it appears as though the spells <b>Pearl</b>, as cast by Mickey Mouse, and <b>Holy</b>, as cast by Sora in [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]], are two distinct spells, though in Final Fantasy titles they are two differing translations of the same spell.
| |
| * Although in ''Kingdom Hearts'' Mickey is credited as having first appeared in the Disney short "Steamboat Willie", this is incorrect. Mickey first appeared in "Plane Crazy", but "Steamboat Willie" is often considered his first notable performance, as he was characterized very differently in "Plane Crazy".
| |
| * [[Riku]] is the only character who calls Mickey by his name, at his request.
| |
| * Apparently, Donald is Mickey's best friend.
| |
| * In the first game, Mickey could (barely) be seen in his casual clothing. However, in later games, his attire resembled, more or less, like his original attire.
