Aerial Dodge

Aerial Dodge, known as Air Dodge in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Air Slide in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, is an ability acquired in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. In both variations of Kingdom Hearts II, it is learned and levelled up by levelling up Master Form, while in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days it is found as a panel. It is activated by tapping ( in Final Mix) and (B in 358/2 Days) after the player has already jumped.

It is useful in evading attacks in midair and dodging projectiles launched at Sora. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories Riku can use Dark Mode to do a Double Jump similar to the Aerial Dodge, but he does not get any higher. In Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it is exclusive to Sora, whereas in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days it can be used by every playable character.
