Avatar Menu

The title screen

The Avatar Menu is a minigame in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded in which players make an avatar out of countless clothes and features. Collecting half of them earns a new trophy. By using Tag Mode it's possible to met other players or get a random connection to prefabricated Avatars which grants new clothes, Scratch Cards and another floor of the Avatar Sector, the System Sector of the Avatar Menu. The Avatar Menu grants unique rewards which can't be gained elsewhere in the game.

Avatar Sector

The Avatar Sector is a special System Sector that is built by the player, one floor at a time. Unlike other System Sectors, the Heartless within grow progressively stronger the deeper Data-Sora dives in, reaching level 99 by the end of the Sector. The Avatar Sector has a maximum of one hundred floors, and ninety of them must be obtained from Balloon Letters in Tag Mode. These floors can be deleted by the player at will, and if the player keeps obtaining Balloon Letters once the Avatar Sector is complete, the lowest floor will be deleted to make room.

Each floor is represented by an avatar, either one of the fifty prefabricated avatars, or a random avatar made from mixed parts. Each time Data-Sora clears one of these floors while fulfilling its associated challenge, he will win an Avatar Part, starting with those the floor's avatar uses, and then random pieces once those have been exhausted. For every nine floors obtained from Scratch Cards, the Avatar Sector will automatically add a special tenth floor that has an SP challenge. The ten SP challenge floors eventually culminate in a battle against a bugged Data-Riku.

In addition to Avatar Parts, the Avatar Sector has its own list of Sector Rewards, which grows as Data-Sora goes further into the Sector. Furthermore, Data-Sora is given an honorary rank based on how far he has gone into the Sector.

Tag Mode

Tag Mode is a communications system which allows the player to obtain Balloon Letters from other avatars, which contain Avatar Sector floors and Scratch Cards. To enter Tag Mode, the player must choose which type of Avatar Sector floor and challenge they would like to share; these lists are initially short, but once the player has completed the Avatar Sector, they will be able to share any of the floor-types and challenges which appear in the Avatar Sector, excluding the Boss floor-type.

Balloon Letters can be given by a friend's avatar, a prefabricated avatar, or a random avatar. When the player receives a Balloon Letter from a friend who is also playing Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, the two players will share their personal avatars, and whichever floor-types and challenges they selected. If the player enters Tag Mode while receiving a DS-compatible wireless signal that is not from another Kingdom Hearts Re:coded game (for example, if it is receiving a broadcast from the Wii's Nintendo Channel, or from another DS's PictoChat), they will immediately receive a prefabricated avatar, whose quote and other stats are references to the character the avatar depicts. If Tag Mode has been used for a suitably long interval, usually an hour or two, the player can also receive an avatar constructed from random Avatar Parts; this avatar's name and quote will reference each other, but not its appearance or any of its stats.

Scratch Cards

Scratch Cards are on of the prizes attached to Balloon Letters. Every Scratch Card is set in a specific world, as specified by the background, and contains several hidden icons depicting characters from that world. The cards also list a "Character Hunt" that requires the player to uncover a set amount of a specific character within a set amount of chances, and almost always lists a Bonus Hunt as well, which requires the player to uncover a single, specific character. Clearing a Character or Bonus Hunt will result in Data-Sora winning a random command or Avatar Part; these are completely random, and it is even possible for Data-Sora to win an Avatar Part that he already has.

In addition to the basic icons, there are three special icons: Dalmatian puppy, Mickey, and Captain Dark.

• Dalmatian puppy: Activates "Lucky Puppy!", which adds a puppy to Data-Sora's total. Once Data-Sora rescues 99 puppies, he wins D-Firaga.
• Mickey: Activates "Bonus Chances", which adds 1-2 extra chances to Data-Sora's total.
• Captain Dark: Activates "Sneak Peek!", which allows the player to see all the character icons, uncovered for a second.
