Riku dives into the bottom screen, performing a Reality Shift.

Reality Shift (リアリティシフト Riariti Shifuto?) is a gameplay element that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. When an enemy or a certain object in the field is marked by a pink, oval-shaped reticule, the player can press A and X simultaneously or swipe downwards on the touchscreen to activate the Reality Shift, which requires players to complete an action on the Nintendo 3DS's touchscreen. Reality Shifts can be used to damage nearby enemies or to interact with the field, often allowing access to new areas. involves swiping the stylus of the Nintendo 3DS across the bottom screen or tapping in certain areas on the bottom screen. When the Reality Shift is activated, Sora or Riku dives into the bottom screen, and the action on the top screen is paused until the action is completed. Additionally, the character is invincible until the effect of the Reality Shift is over.

Each world appearing in Dream Drop Distance has at least one Reality Shift associated with it.

List of Reality Shifts

Suringu Shōtto (スリングショット?)
The targeted enemy or object appears in a bubble which can be dragged around the touchscreen to move a targeting reticule. Upon release, the enemy or object is flung across the field to the targeted point, inflicting significant damage to the flung object and damaging any enemies or objects nearby. As such, it can be used to reveal Treasure Chests by destroying stacks of boxes or packages. Slingshot KH3D.png Traverse Town

Hōrī Rōpu (ホーリーロープ?)
When used on an enemy, Dream Eater icons appear on the touchscreen, representing the enemies on the field. The player must draw a continuous line connecting the icons. Once finished, the line becomes a rope connecting the Dream Eaters, and Sora or Riku slide along the rope, dealing damage to the Dream Eaters along the way. If a loop is created with the rope, Sora or Riku will make two circuits around the loop, dealing extra damage.

Holy Rope can also be used on the floating white orbs that appear throughout La Cité des Cloches to quickly traverse large distances or reach out-of-the-way places on the field map.

During Riku's battle against Bullet Gargoyle, activating Holy Rope creates demon-head icons on the touchscreen. Using the icons to draw a loop around the Bullet Gargoyle will deal damage to it.

Kōdo Bureiku (コードブレイク?)
Lines of ever-changing data appear on the touchscreen. Occassionally, specific colored words or word fragments appear within the data. The player can tap these keywords to freeze them onscreen. When all the necessary words of a single color have been tapped, a subroutine determined by the combined keyword appears on the top screen, then disappears as it takes effect.

There are several subroutines than can be activated, some only against certain targets. For example, "SWITCH TARGET" can cause a Dream Eater, Black Guard, or turret to attack your enemies for a period of time.

  • SWITCH TARGET: Causes the enemy or turret to fight with or for you.
  • MOVING SPARK: Allows you to take control of the enemy and cause an explosion.
  • PRIZE SHOT: Causes the turret to shoot an enemy to drop an Item or Command.
  • PRIZE BOX: Causes the enemy or turret to drop an Item or Command.
  • AUTO DESTRUCT: Blows up the turret
  • DISC JAMMER: Used against Rinzler.
  • ENERGY JAMMER: Used against Ele Kamakiri.
  • TRANSPORT: Used against CLU's Recognizers to make them neutral.
  • UNLOCK: Used on locks to allow passage into the lower portions of the Underground Dock.

Poppingu Baburu (ポッピングバブル?)
The target appears on the outside of a ring on the touchscreen. The player must pull the bubble in the center of the ring in the opposite direction of the target to spray bubbles at it as it moves. After the target has been sprayed for long enough, it is enveloped in a bubble and returns to the top screen. Sora or Riku then stands on top of the bubble, which can be moved freely around the field, picking up other objects or Dream Eaters by touching them.

After the first phase of Sora's battle against the Kinkin Lobster, the player is required to use Popping Bubble on Monstro in order to continue the battle.

Wandā Komikku (ワンダーコミック?)
The target appears in the center of a Three Musketeers comic book on the touchscreen.
