The Premium Menu is a gameplay option in Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind. The menu allows the player to affect the difficulty of the game to a greater extent than simply changing the difficulty options.
During Sora's Dive to the Heart at the start of the game, after choosing a power, Sora is given a choice between a "Usual Adventure", which locks the Premium Menu, an "Easy Adventure", which unlocks the EZ Codes, and a "Challenging Adventure", which unlocks the PRO Codes. By defeating Yozora in the Secret Episode, both options are unlocked on the current save regardless of the initial choice.
The Premium Menu is accessed from the normal pause menu by pressing the touchpad on the DualShock 4 controller.
EZ Codes
EZ Codes are unlocked by choosing an Easy Adventure. The choice is described in the Dive to the Heart as "an easier path to fulfilling objectives". There are two types of EZ Codes: Battle Codes, which affect combat, and Support Codes. While EZ Codes are activated, certain Trophies cannot be acquired.
Battle Codes
Deadly Blow
- You can defeat enemies in one hit. However, certain enemies and bosses are immune to this effect.
- Although most bosses throughout the story are susceptible to the effects of Deadly Blow, those with cutscenes dividing 'phases' of the battle, such as the Catastrochorus, will merely be reduced to 1HP before moving on to the next phase.
Auto-block
- Enemy attacks are automatically blocked. Auto-block does not activate when you are attacking, or when you are using forms with no blocking.
- Sora will perform a block with no input when Auto-block is activated. However, he will not perform an auto-block during attack animations, even if a block can be activated via player input at that time.
HP Regen
- Your whole team's HP automatically regenerates.
MP Regen
- Your whole team's MP automatically regenerates. However, MP Regen does not activate while recharging MP.
Focus Regen
- Your Focus Gauge automatically recharges.
Form Charge
- Your Formchange Gauge gradually increases over time.
- The Situation Command meter will increase at a fixed rate regardless of Sora's battle performance, and a Formchange command (if available) will always be generated.
Attraction Pass
- Attraction indicators appear more frequently during battle.
Best Combination
- Team commands appear more frequently in battle.
Overflow
- The Rage Form command appears more frequently in battle.
Everlink
- Links last for a much longer duration.
AP Free
- The AP cost of all abilities is reduced to 0. When toggling this code from ON to OFF, your whole team will have their set abilities removed.
Survival
- Strength and magic stats are tripled for both allies and enemies.
Support Codes
Cooking Master
- You will always earn an Excellent rating when cooking with Little Chef.
Shop Discount
- All shop items are half price.
Gummi Ship Meister
- In Gummi Editor, your gummi ship level is set to 99, and your inventory of all gummi items will be set to maximum. Your previous inventory cannot be restored.
- This is the only EZ Code that cannot be disabled once activated.
Merits
Merits can be earned through the Premium Menu with EZ Codes unlocked by completing certain objectives. The activation of EZ Codes is not necessary to achieve merits.
PRO Codes
PRO Codes are unlocked by choosing a Challenging Adventure. The choice is described in the Dive to the Heart as "a harder yet more glorious path". PRO Codes are ranked by difficulty through a count of stars.
