The '''Difficulty Level''' of a game in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series determines enemy strength and limitations the player will be presented with during gameplay. Players can choose a difficulty level to clear the game on when they first start a new game, but they cannot change difficulty levels once they have started. The most difficult difficulty is Critical mode, followed by Proud Mode, then Standard Mode, then Beginner Mode. Critical Mode is available in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''. The first time Proud Mode became available was in [[Kingdom Hearts II]] and has been in all games since. | The '''Difficulty Level''' of a game in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series determines enemy strength and limitations the player will be presented with during gameplay.
