Sora, although disappointed, knows it will be for the best. It is unknown what happened to the Gummi Ship after the trio landed in the [[End of the World]], but it probably stays in the world until it collapses, and then falls into the void of darkness. | ||

In the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', Gummi travel was simple: The ship would move forward on its own, and players could control the ship's direction—up, down, left and right. The ability to brake was also included, but merely slowed the ship instead of a full stop. Numerous [[Heartless]]-piloted enemy ships, called [[Gummi Enemies]], would appear, and upon their destruction would leave a Gummi block or a [[List of Gummi Ship Blueprints|blueprint]] for that enemy ship. | |||

While Gummi travel appears in a very different form in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Gummi travel went from an aerial-combat style to a {{w|Shoot 'em up#Types|rail shooter}}. Although the system was very different, the concept became more like a mini-game. A path would only have to be traversed once to get to a world, and then that world would become available without the use of Gummi travel. The most notable differences in the system were the ability to turn the ship around during flight, the Medal Point system, the concept of in-flight bosses, and the addition of Teeny Ships, smaller ships that can fly alongside the ship. Also, this time around, the [[Gummi Enemies]] are ship-sized [[Heartless]] and [[Nobody|Nobodies]] instead of Heartless-piloted Gummi Ships like in the first ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'''. | |||
Once opened and completed, each route has three additional, optional [[Gummi Missions]]; these each have set goals, a different score system, and prizes. Blocks and new Gummi Ship abilities can be awarded for high scores, and dropped by rare ships in battle. | |||
Gummi Ship stats were increased to five: | Gummi Ship stats were increased to five: | ||

Ship customization was also improved over the first game. Along with coloring blocks, players also have the choice of using block skins with special designs. New block-types were included, such as blades, shields, saws, propellers, and even wheels; in addition, instead of a "Block Limit", each block has a cost to limit the size and power of the Gummi ship. Finally, an ability system was added, granting certain powers to the ship during flight. Completed [[List of Gummi Ship Blueprints|blueprints]] were also awarded for exceptional flight on certain missions, both as useful ships or as ''[[w:c:finalfantasy|Final Fantasy]]''-shaped novelty Gummi ships. | |||

Gummi Ships can be modified and customized extensively through the use of additional [[Gummi Blocks]]. Many of the most rare and powerful blocks must be won or found through the course of the game. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Gummi Blocks were frequently rewards from chests, but in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', they can only be won through completing Gummi Missions. In addition, ''Kingdom Hearts II'' allowed players to create special "helper ships" called [[Teeny Ship]]s. | Gummi Ships can be modified and customized extensively through the use of additional [[Gummi Blocks]].

Gummi Ships, like most ships in classic space-faring games, use lasers to exterminate enemies. A ship can use anything from small head guns to Energy Cannons on the back of the ship. In the first game, [[Thunder]] blasters were used to damage enemies; in addition, weapons named after powerful spells from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise fired lasers with homing capabilities. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' new weapon types were added. Blasters now came in three types—[[Fire]], [[Blizzard]] and [[Gravity]], while [[Thunder]] Gummis were now lasers. In addition to cannons and lasers similar to those from the first game, a ship could be equipped with two new types, Slash and Impact Gummis. The former fill a special gauge as enemies are defeated, and when full, the Gummi unleashes a powerful, devastating attack. The latter deals damage when enemy ships collide with the player's. | Gummi Ships, like most ships in classic space-faring games, use lasers to exterminate enemies.

*Cid and Mickey's Gummi Ships have not yet been seen, although there is a blueprint titled "Cid" that is obtained from Geppetto in ''Kingdom Hearts''. It is unknown if this is actually Cid's ship, however, as blueprints also appear for Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith. | |||
*In the first game, the name of Sora's Gummi Ship is either the default ''Highwind'', ''Excalibur'', or the name players choose for the raft. However, the ship model is called the ''Kingdom'' model in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. The name ''Kingdom'' only appeared as the name of the blueprint for the default Gummi Ship in ''Kingdom Hearts''. | |||
