Keyblade Glider (キーブレードライダー Kīburēdo Raidā?, lit. "Keyblade Rider") is an ability demonstrated in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua have the ability to turn their Keyblades into vehicles, which they can use to fly, even to other worlds. This ability has only been demonstrated by the trio (including Terra as the Lingering Sentiment), and so it is unknown if other Keyblade wielders can use it.

Although each Keyblade Glider is formed by throwing the Keyblade into the sky, where it transforms into its vehicle form, the heroes' gliders have drastically different forms. Terra's glider resembles a bike or speeder, Ventus's is shaped like a winged waveboard, and Aqua's is a two-part bow-and-platform device. The Keyblade wielders can also use their glider to attack; Terra rams his glider into the enemy, Ventus spins his glider around at the target, and Aqua uses the bow of her vehicle as a literal energy bow, firing shots at enemies from far away.

No matter the Keychain attached to the Keyblade when the glider is formed, the glider is always formed from the wielder's original Keyblade—Earthshaker for Terra, Wayward Wind for Ventus, and Rainfell for Aqua—and the design of the glider reflects that. However, during the Rumble Racing mini-game, the gliders are given a completely different color scheme.

"Keyblade Glider" is also the special event for the "Keyblade" and "Secret" Command Boards. When activated, the player boards their Keyblade Glider, and can move to any spot they choose on the board.
