If you have a <font color=blue>Debug Device</font>, you can use it<br>to <font color=blue>destroy one bug chip</font> of the same color.
*'''Wiring'''<br>
Wiring is another way to pass power from<br>the CPU to objects on the board. If an object<br>has <font color=blue>two wires attached</font>, you will need to<br>connect chips to both wires to power it up.
===Perform Great Feats with Cheats===
;Cheat Tuners
Connect chips to these <font color=blue>cheats</font> and you can<br>then use them to <font color=blue>alter stats</font> or <font color=blue>rig the game<br>system</font> in your favour.
*'''The Difficulty Cheat'''<br>
You can <font color=blue>change the game's difficulty</font> anytime<br>you want with this gadget. Beginner is the easiest,<br>Critical the hardest. Enemies drop <font color=blue>better items</font> in<br>harder modes.
*'''The Prize Cheat'''<br>
Use this to tweak <font color=blue>how many prizes you get</font><br>from defeating enemies or destroying blox.<br>Increasing your prizes will make enemies<br>stronger, and the cheat unfortunately has<br>no effect on SP or score prizes.
*'''The Loot Cheat'''<br>
Use this to tweak <font color=blue>how often enemies drop<br>items</font>when defeated. Increasing your loot<br>will lower your HP.
*'''The CP Cheat'''<br>
Use this to tweak <font color=blue>how much CP you receive</font>.<br>Increasing your CP intake will lower the amount<br>of EXP you receive.
*'''The HP Cheat'''<br>
Use this to simultaneously tweak <font color=blue>your HP and<br>enemy HP</font>. Setting the cheat to 0% will reduce<br>everyone's HP to 1.
===Upgrade Commands with Conversion===
;The Command Matrix <small>('''Unlocked: View the Command Matrix.''')</small>
In this game, every action you can take<br>is represented by a <font color=blue>command</font>. Use this board<br>to <font color=blue>install</font> the commands you use in combat.
*'''Installing Commands''' <small>('''Unlocked: View an empty command panel.''')</small><br>
When you obtain a <font color=blue>new command</font>, try<br>installing it into an <font color=blue>empty blue slot</font>.
*'''CP (Command Points)''' <small>('''Unlocked: Insert a new command into the Command Matrix.''')</small><br>
<small>''Page 1/2''</small>
Defeat enemies and your installed commands<br>will gain <font color=blue>CP</font>. Once a command gains enough CP,<br>it will be marked with an <font color=blue>exclamation point</font>.
<small>''Page 2/2''</small>
Install new commands with a <font color=blue>[!]</font> in two adjacent<br>blue slots, and you can then <font color=blue>convert</font> them into<br>a powerful new command.
*'''Converting Commands'''<br>
Once the two commands in adjacent blue<br>slots have absorbed as much CP as they can,<br>you should <font color=blue>convert</font> them into a single, <font color=blue>more<br>powerful command</font>.
*'''Test-Converting Commands''' <small>('''Unlocked: Test-convert a command.''')</small><br>
If you install commands in two adjacent blue slots,<br>they will <font color=blue>temporarily transform into a new command</font><br>which appears in the red slot. This red command is<br>the one you will take into battle.
*'''Overspec'''<br>
Usually, when you convert two commands,<br>you wind up with exactly what was shown in the<br>red slot. Sometimes, though, your new command<br>will be <font color=blue>overspec</font>: in other words, <font color=blue>more powerful</font><br>than expected.
*'''Upgrading Commands'''<br>
The icons next to a command name indicate that<br>the command will...<br>
:<font color=blue><code>C</code></font><ref>In the game, proper symbols with boxes around the letters are used.</ref> = fill more of the clock gauge with each hit.
:<font color=blue><code>R</code></font> = reload more quickly than usual.
:<font color=blue><code>CR</code></font> = <code>C</code> + <code>R</code>
:<font color=blue><small><code>LV.</code></small></font> = have a greater effect at higher levels.
*'''Item Commands''' <small>('''Unlocked: Obtain an item command.''')</small><br>
<font color=blue>Item commands</font> like Potions are marked with a<br>numeral, and do not reload until after combat.<br>In the heat of battle, <font color=blue>you can only use the<br>quantity shown</font>. However, you can use them in<br><font color=blue>rapid succession</font>.
*'''Managing the Command Deck'''<br>
Did you know you can press {{button|dsx}} to switch control to<br>the top screen? From there, you can <font color=blue>reorder</font> your<br>commands or assign one <font color=blue>shortcut command</font>.<br>(Check out <font color=blue>Controls</font> and <font color=blue>Shortcut Behaviour</font> in the<br>Config menu for more info about shortcuts.)

*'''Finish Command Chips''' <small>('''Unlocked: Select the Finish Command slot in the Gear Matrix.''')</small><br>
<font color=blue>Finish commands</font> are the most powerful attacks<br>in your arsenal. You can use the one you've<br>installed once the <font color=blue>clock gauge</font> reaches MAX.
*'''Accessory Chips''' <small>('''Unlocked: Select the Accessory Chip slot in the Gear Matrix.''')</small><br>
Install accessory chips to gain a wide<br>variety of <font color=blue>new abilities</font>.

===Smash Bugs in the System Sectors===
;System Sectors <small>('''Unlocked: Enter a System Sector.''')</small>
The datascape created from Jiminy's journal<br>requires code to run. This code is housed in<br>special areas called <font color=blue>system sectors</font>.
*'''Locating Backdoors''' <small>('''Unlocked: Come into contact with a backdoor.''')</small><br>
<small>''Page 1/2</small><br>
To fix glitches, you will first need to<br>find a <font color=blue>backdoor</font> into the <font color=blue>system sector</font>.<br>
<small>''Page 2/2</small><br>
Use the <font color=blue>sensor</font> on the map to track it down.<br>As you get closer, the sensor will flash more<br>quickly and eventually turn red.
*'''Powering Up the Sensor'''<br>
As you unlock higher levels of the <font color=blue>Scan</font> ability,<br>your <font color=blue>sensor will power up</font>, revealing new<br><font color=blue>backdoors</font> that lead to <font color=blue>previously inaccessible<br>system sectors</font>.
*'''Sector Debug''' <small>('''Unlocked: Enter a System Sector.''')</small><br>
Glitches in the datascape are caused by<br>abnormal enemies inside the system sector.<br>Defeat these <font color=blue>bug baddies</font> and <font color=blue>debug the sector</font><br>to return the world to normal.

Attempt these challenges to earn <font color=blue>extra SP</font>.<br>First, decide what percent of your SP<br>to wager. Fail the challenge, and you will<br>lose this SP. Succeed, however, to earn it<br>back <font color=blue>times the rate shown</font>.
*'''Viruses'''<br>
This system sector floor has been corrupted<br>by a <font color=blue>virus</font>. As long as the virus is present,<br>you must complete the <font color=blue>floor challenge</font> or you<br>will forfeit <font color=blue>all of your SP</font>.

''<small>Page 1/2</small><br>''
Gltiches in the Coliseum have caused <font color=blue>massive<br>changes</font> to your abilities and how you fight.<br>Most deck commands, your shortcut command,<br>and the Loot Cheat have all been disabled.<br>
''<small>Page 2/2</small><br>''
You can lower the difficulty to make battles in<br>the Coliseum easier, but be warned: doing so<br>even once will reduce the value of the rewards<br>you receive at the end.
*'''W4: Shred of Wisdom: Comhat'''<br>
<small>''Page 1/5''</small><br><font color=orange>'''COMBAT'''</font><br>
<font color=blue>Press {{button|dsa}} without selecting any commands</font> from<br>your deck to perform a <font color=blue>regular attack</font>. You will<br>strike first, then the enemy; once everyone has<br>had a swing, control will return to you.<br>
<small>''Page 2/5''</small><br><font color=orange>COMBOS</font><br>
You can also <font color=blue>press {{button|dsa}} just before you strike</font><br>the enemy to <font color=blue>attack up to two additional times</font>.<br>Sometimes these combos will trigger devastating<br><font color=blue>special attacks</font> that deal even more hits.
<small>''Page 3/5''</small><br><font color=orange>BLOCKING</font><br>
<font color=blue>Press {{button|dsy}} at just the right time</font> before<br>an enemy attack connects to <font color=blue>block</font> and<br><font color=blue>reduce the damage you take by half</font>.

Outnumbered? Don't be afraid to<br><font color=blue>hold down {{button|shoulderr}}</font> and try to <font color=blue>escape</font><br>the battle.
<small>''Page 5/5''</small><br><font color=orange>TEAM COMBAT</font><br>
Combat still works the same now that you have<br>a teammate, but <font color=blue>keep a close eye on Sora's HP</font>.<br>If he falls in battle, it's Game Over.
*'''W4: Shred of Wisdom: Compiling'''<br>
<small>''Page 1/4''</small><br>
To use deck commands in combat, you have to<br><font color=blue>compile</font> them. Press {{button|dsx}} to add a command to the<br>queue. Once you've picked up one or more commands,<br>press {{button|dsa}} to <font color=blue>combine them into a single attack</font>.<br> Use {{button|dsb}} to back up if you change your mind.<br>
<small>''Page 2/4''</small><br>
Compiling commands results in <font color=blue>different<br>attacks</font> than usual. Figuring out what you get,<br>however, will take a little trial and error.<br>
<small>''Page 3/4''</small><br>
In the Coliseum, <font color=blue>commands will not reload<br>over time</font>. Hit enemies with regular attacks<br>or destroy blox to gradually reload them.<br>
<small>''Page 4/4''</small><br>
<font color=blue>Potions</font> and <font color=blue>Hi-Potions</font> are your best friends.<br>They don't need to reload, and more importantly,<br>they are <font color=blue>the only deck commands that you can<br>use outside of combat</font>.
*'''W4: Shred of Wisdom: Bug Level'''<br>
<small>''Page 1/3''</small><br>
The gauge in the upper-left represents<br>the current room's <font color=blue>bug level</font>. Destroy blox<br>and defeat enemies to <font color=blue>drain the gauge</font>.<br>
<small>''Page 2/3</small>''<br>
This is the key to advancing.<br>
<font color=blue>Reduce the bug level to 1</font> by draining the<br>gauge past the white line, and <font color=blue>metal blox<br></font> and <font color=blue>danger blox</font> in the room will transform<br>into normal blox or prize blox.<br>
<small>''Page 3/3</small><br>
The bug level also affects enemy strength.<br>
<font color=blue>Level 1</font> (yellow gauge):    Normal<br>
<font color=blue>Level 2</font> (red gauge):      Double strength<br>
<font color=blue>Level 3</font> (flashing gauge):  Triple strength<br>
*'''W4: Shred of Wisdom: Encounters'''<br>
<small>''Page 1/4''</small><br><font color=orange>ENCOUNTERS</font><br>
A battle will begin <font color=blue>when you attack<br>an enemy</font> or <font color=blue>the enemy attacks you</font>.<br>
<small>''Page 2/4''</small><br><font color=orange>PREEMPTIVE ATTACKS</font><br>
While in the field, <font color=blue>attack an enemy from<br>behind</font> to trigger a <font color=blue>preemptive attack</font>.<br>This gives you <font color=blue>one extra turn</font> at the<br>beginning of the battle.<br>
<small>''Page 3/4''</small><br><font color=orange>BACK ATTACKS</font><br>
However, be careful. If an <font color=blue>enemy attacks<br>YOU from behind</font>, you will get caught in a<br><font color=blue>back attack</font>. This means <font color=blue>the enemy gets to<br>strike first</font> in battle.<br>
<small>''Page 4/4''</small><br><font color=orange>MENACES</font><br>
Beware the <font color=blue>swirling pools of shadow</font>.<br>These <font color=blue>powerful foes</font> will pursue you mercilessly<br>even if you flee to another room.<br>
*'''W4: Shred of Wisdom: Layers'''<br>
<small>''Page 1/3''</small><br><font color=orange>LAYERS</font><br>
The glitched Coliseum is divided into <font color=blue>layers</font><br>(think of them like floors). The only way to<br>escape each layer is to <font color=blue>destroy blox and<Br>uncover the hidden warp point</font>.<br>
<small>''Page 2/3''</small><br><font color=orange>SCORING</font><br>
At the end of each layer, you will be given a<br><font color=blue>score</font> based on how many <font color=blue>score prizes</font> you collect.<br>Earn bonus points by <font color=blue>completely eliminating bugs</font><br>from as many rooms as possible.
<small>''Page 3/3''</small><br>
Between the Coliseum's layers you will find<br><font color=blue>save rooms</font> you can use to record your progress<br>and prepare for the battles ahead.
*'''W4: Shred of Wisdom: Licenses'''<br>
<small>''Page 1/16''</small><br><font color=orange>LICENSES</font><br>
Inside the Coliseum, you may find special<br>items called <font color=blue>licenses</font> by breaking blox or<br>defeating enemies.<br>
<small>''Page 2/16''</small><br>
You can only carry <font color=blue>8 kind</font> at one time, but<br>there are a wide variety of licenses that do<br>just as many wonderful things. Each license<br>you find can only be used once.<br>
<small>''Page 3/16''</small><br>
You can <font color=blue>toggle</font> between the Command Deck and<br>your list of licenses by pressing:<font color=blue>

Each scenario has three possible endings:<br>
a <font color=blue>normal</font> ending, which follows what was written<br>in the journal, plus <font color=blue>extra</font> and <font color=blue>alternate</font> endings,<br>which do not.

Ending cards, unlike world cards, have no<br>specific use, but collecting them all<br>may prove worth your while...
===Becoming a Blox Expert===
;Blox <small>('''Unlocked: After first conversation with Selphie''')</small>
Bugs in the journal data have caused <font color=blue>blox</font><br>to pop up all over the world. You can <font color=blue>break<br>them with the Keyblade</font> to reveal prizes,<br>or use them as <font color=blue>stepping stones</font>.

*'''Ghost Blox'''<br>
The green blox will pop in and out of<br>existence at regular intervals. While fully<br>visible, they can be used as stepping stones.<br>While they are transparent, you will walk or<br>fall right through them.
*'''Slider Blox'''<br>
You can move the blue blox with the<br>turquoise pattern someplace more useful<br>by hitting them with your Keyblade.
*'''Pair Blox'''<br>
''<small>Page 1/2</small>''<br>
Each blue blox with a star ★ has a<br>corresponding light green blox with a star ★<br>somewhere in the area. Both of these <font color=blue>pair blox</font><br>will move if you hit them.<br>
''<small>Page 2/2</small>''<br>
