'''Friend cards''' appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' as a type of playing card which summons an ally of Sora or Riku to help them during battle. They can be identified by their green borders, which they share with [[item card]]s. Friend cards behave identically to the other types of playing card, but unlike the others they cannot be collected, and are instead randomly obtained during battle and disappear when the battle is finished.  
{{nihongo|'''Friend cards'''|フレンドカード|Furendo Kādo}} are a type of [[Card]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. Friend Cards have green borders, and allow [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] to call upon [[party members]] for assistance. Unlike other Cards, Friend Cards cannot be equipped in a deck, and instead randomly appear on the field during battle. When Sora or Riku picks up a Friend Card, it is placed at the top of their deck. Once used, a Friend Card can't be reloaded. Sora's Friend Cards are based on the party members in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', except [[Tarzan]], and like party members, some only appear in certain Worlds. Riku has only one Friend Card, The King.


As in ''Kingdom Hearts'', these allies generally cannot be used on all worlds. Each friend summon can be upgraded to more powerful levels by stocking multiples of that friend card, though they can also be used in various combinations with other friend cards, as well as [[Attack card|attack]], [[Magic card|magic]], [[Summon card|summon]], and item cards to perform different spells and summons unavailable in the other games. Many of these new combinations are ''Kingdom Hearts'' versions of traditional ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (Series)|Final Fantasy]]'' spells like "Terror" or "Teleport".
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', [[Pluto]] is added as a rare Friend Card for Sora. Additionally, the [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], and The King Friend Cards get a different image while in [[Halloween Town]]. Donald and Goofy appear in their Halloween Town outfits, while The King is a darker shade.


Friend cards are available in both Sora's tale and Reverse/Rebirth, but are only used by Sora and Riku.
Combining two or three of the same Friend Cards allow Sora and Riku to use more powerful [[Friend Sleight]]s. The Donald, Goofy, and The King Cards can also be used in a couple of other Friend Sleights, and the [[Trinity Limit]] Sleight. Three Sleights can be used with a world-specific Friend Sleight, but they also have an additional combination that can be used without the Friend Card, to make it usable outside of that specific World.

==Gimmick Card==
[[File:Gimmick Card use..png|right|thumb|A Gimmick Card being used on the Guard Armor.]]
The '''Gimmick Card''', also known as the '''Trick Card''', is a special Friend Card that can be obtained under certain conditions during boss battles. It depicts a green {{w|Hidden Mickey}}. The card acts as a 0 card, but cannot be broken. Using a Gimmick Card will generate effects that can give Sora the upper hand. In practice it is quite similar to a [[Reaction Command]].
* '''[[Guard Armor]]''': The Guard Armor collapses into a pile and does not attack.
* '''[[Trickmaster]]''': The table and chair reappear in the middle of the arena, allowing the Trickmaster's weaker head and chest to be attacked. In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', Trickmaster is stunned as well.
* '''[[Parasite Cage]]''': The rotating platforms are replaced with one large platform. In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', the stomach acid disappears.
* '''[[Darkside]]''': A broken piece of wood flies in, allowing you to fly up to the Darkside's head for close-range attacks. In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', several pillars of rock form a staircase to the Darkside's head.
* '''[[Jafar]]''': All the floor panels rise to the highest level, allowing Iago to be more easily attacked.
* '''[[Oogie Boogie]]''': The metal wall guarding Oogie Boogie drops into the floor. In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', Oogie Boogie is stunned as well.
* '''[[Game:Ursula|Giant Ursula]]''': Ursula's tentacles disappear, and she drops her head to the ground.  In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', Ursula is stunned as well.
* '''[[Game:Maleficent (Dragon)|Dragon Maleficent]]''': A pile of stone blocks fall from the ceiling, allowing her head to be more easily attacked. In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', a floating platform appears that allows the player to reach Maleficent's head while also keeping them out of any flames on the ground.

Friend cards (フレンドカード Furendo Kādo?) are a type of Card in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Friend Cards have green borders, and allow Sora and Riku to call upon party members for assistance. Unlike other Cards, Friend Cards cannot be equipped in a deck, and instead randomly appear on the field during battle. When Sora or Riku picks up a Friend Card, it is placed at the top of their deck. Once used, a Friend Card can't be reloaded. Sora's Friend Cards are based on the party members in Kingdom Hearts, except Tarzan, and like party members, some only appear in certain Worlds. Riku has only one Friend Card, The King.

In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Pluto is added as a rare Friend Card for Sora. Additionally, the Donald, Goofy, and The King Friend Cards get a different image while in Halloween Town. Donald and Goofy appear in their Halloween Town outfits, while The King is a darker shade.

Combining two or three of the same Friend Cards allow Sora and Riku to use more powerful Friend Sleights. The Donald, Goofy, and The King Cards can also be used in a couple of other Friend Sleights, and the Trinity Limit Sleight. Three Sleights can be used with a world-specific Friend Sleight, but they also have an additional combination that can be used without the Friend Card, to make it usable outside of that specific World.
