A Summon is a special character that can be magically called on to aid Sora in the Kingdom Hearts series. In terms of development, the main purpose of adding Summons was to add characters from Disney movies that weren't already represented by worlds. They have been present in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II, although the mechanics differ from game to game. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is the first game in the series not to incorporate any form of summons.
Trivia
- Peter Pan, Simba, Stitch, and Cloud are the only characters to appear as both Summons and Party Members.
- Dumbo, Bambi, and Chicken Little are the only summons whose worlds haven't been present in any games yet.
