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 
and 
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 a particular Reality Shift associated with it.
List Of Reality Shifts
| Name | Description | World |
| File:Slingshot logo KH3D.png Slingshot (スリングショット Suringushōtto) |
The Reality Shift of Traverse Town. When used, the targeted enemy or object appears in a bubble on the touchscreen. The player can drag the bubble around to move a targeting reticule across the field. Upon release, the enemy or object is flung across the field, striking the targeted point and damaging any enemies nearby. If an enemy is flung by Slingshot, it also takes significant damage. Slingshot can also be used to destroy stacks of boxes in the different areas of Traverse Town, or stacks of packages in the Post Office area, to reveal Treasure Chests. |  |
| File:Holy Rope logo KH3D.png Holy Rope (ホーリーロープ Hōrīrōpu) |
The Reality Shift of La Cité des Cloches. 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. |

The Reality Shift of The Grid. When activated, 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 named 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" will cause a Dream Eater, Black Guard, or turret to attack your enemies for a period of time.

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.
