Gimmick Card

The Gimmick Card (ギミックカード, Gimikku Kādo) is a special Card that can be obtained during certain boss battles. It depicts a green Hidden Mickey. The card acts as a 0 card, but cannot be broken and will still take effect if used against another 0 card. Using a Gimmick Card will generate effects that can give Sora and Riku the upper hand.
