The Hercules Cup is the third tournament at Olympus Coliseum in Kingdom Hearts. It opens after Sora and his party seal the keyholes in Neverland and Halloween Town.
As in the previous two cups, there are three modes to try, each of which results in one of three rewards. For completing it with the whole party, Goofy is given Herc's Shield and the group earns the ability to use Yellow Trinity Marks, allowing them to seal the keyhole at Olympus Coliseum. For completing it with just Sora, you will receive an Orichalcum. For completing it on time trial in under 3 minutes, the reward is a Power Up. There is a glitch in time trial mode in which if you reach Hercules with time still on the clock, you can select restart in the pause menu and fight Hercules with the clock frozen at whatever time you had left.
It should be noted that in either mode, Sora has to complete the first seed (i.e. the one against Hercules) without any of his party members.
