Master Form (マスターフォーム Masutā Fōmu ) is a Drive Form which appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It uses both of your party members, and consumes four of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents the fusion of Valor Form and Wisdom Form[1], and is obtained when Sora reunites with King Mickey at Hollow Bastion.
Mechanics
Master Form gains 1 experience point for every small Drive Orb obtained, and gains 3 experience points for every big Drive Orb obtained.
Appearance
Master Form bears a yellow and black color scheme. It is the last Drive Form that Sora gains through the story, apart from Final Form, which is obtained through gameplay. The symbols on his pants are three black crosses arranged in a fancy overlapping pattern. When in Master Form on any world, pale yellow sparkles constantly fall off Sora and create somewhat of a streak behind him when running. Also, the floating Keyblade is held in place by a yellow aura surrounding Sora's hand and the Keyblade he is physically holding seems to have deep yellow electricity flowing through it.
- Halloween Town: Sora's mask changes into half of the Valor Form mask and half of the Wisdom Form mask, sewn together with a large, crude stitch.
- Christmas Town: A golden cross appears on Sora's santa hat, while more golden crosses appear on the back of his shirt.
- Space Paranoids: Sora's circuit lines turn yellow.
- Timeless River: Sora's health icon gets a yellow tint.

Strategy
Master Form is a powerful damage-dealer, proficient with both physical attacks and magic. While in Master Form, Sora moves faster than his normal speed, and becomes able to perform magic without any finishers thanks to the "Endless Magic" ability. His attacks are high very fast and can often stun the enemies. However, Sora also loses all party members, so the player should equip Potions and be prepared to heal.
Since Master Form levels by collecting drive orbs, the player should try and fight enemies that drop lots of orbs and can be defeated quickly. The best Keyblades for training Master Form are the more balanced ones; Oathkeeper, Bond of Flame, and Ultima Weapon. Hollow Bastion is a great place to train, as is the Land of Departure, as the explosives drop drive orbs as well. Crimson Jazzes and Morning Stars in particular are good prey. It's also a good idea to avoid using Master Form against bosses, and instead use Valor Form which can be leveled up in the fight.
