Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Melody Catcher is the Reality Shift in Symphony of Sorcery. When activated, the player must use the touchscreen and stylus to tap out the beat of the notes given as well as follow the directions that the notes flow. Both Sora and Riku use their own specific music during their respective visits; music is based on "Symphony No.6 "Pastoral" Op.68" for Sora, and music from "The Nutcracker Suite" plays for Riku (the game randomly picks between "Waltz of the Flowers" and "Trepak" for Riku). For both characters, "L'Apprenti Sorcier" will play at the Tower. The bottom screen is black with the notes appearing for the Reality Shift.
In Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, the player instead must press or hold the respective buttons in time with the notes. Instead of a black screen, the Reality Shift shows the landscape of the area where it is initiated with the notes and buttons appearing on a line instead.
