Side-scrolling is a mini-game found in Traverse Town and Hollow Bastion II, that appears in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded.

Story

With the help of Huey, Dewey and Louie, Data-Sora manages to find and enter Traverse Town's Keyhole, seeking to destroy the source of the world's bugs. An energy spike limits Data-Sora's abilities, forcing the game into a side-scroller. Data-Sora eventually manages to destroy the Guard Armor, the cause of the bugs and energy spike.

Later on during Hollow Bastion II, Data-Sora defeats Maleficent while side-scrolling.

Gameplay

Side-scrolling stages are viewed from a 2D, side perspective and are split up into several stage. The map indicates how far away the next stage is. Data-Sora can only run, jump, glide, block, dodge roll and attack with the Keyblade. Deck commands are disabled and are replaced with overlay commands, which are obtained by picking up the diamond-shaped power-ups peppered throughout each stage.

Bug Blox block Data-Sora's path and occasionally Blox fall from above. If he falls into a pit, Data-Sora takes damage and then respawns after a few seconds. Heartless also appear.

In Traverse Town's side-scrolling sequence, the screen is constantly scrolling forwards, pushing Data-Sora ahead if he lags behind and restricting him from going too far. Data-Sora can be crushed between a block and the moving screen, dealing damage and leaving him to respawn. At some points, the screen will stay still, requiring Data-Sora to defeat certain enemies or go a particular place in order to continue.

In Hollow Bastion II, the screen follows Data-Sora like normal however there is a time limit to complete the stage. Also, Bug Blox are replaced by colored boxes. Yellow boxes are the equivalent of regular Blox and red boxes are substitutes to Danger Blox. Blue boxes are unique that move, create or destroy boxes when broken.
