'''Dark Mode''' is a special form [[Riku]] can enter in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. Riku initially receives the ability to enter Dark Mode from [[Maleficent]], and he uses it against [[Sora]] after he reclaims the [[Keyblade]]. Riku loses it after his body is taken by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]. | |||

In this form, Riku can use his darkness without the worry of being taken over by Ansem. Since Riku is so darkness-oriented, this form gives him a substantial advantage in battle, such as increased speed and feeding the [[Soul Eater]]'s unique power-up ability with the power of [[darkness]]. The [[Riku Replica]] can embrace the darkness willingly, thus he can also use and stay in Dark Mode. | ||

After coming into the service of Maleficent, Riku's heart began to be weakened by his continual use of the darkness, so the witch granted him power over it, allowing him to control [[Heartless]] and enter Dark Mode. Riku used this power to subdue Sora on [[Captain Hook]]'s ship with his own [[Shadow Sora|shadow]] and fight off the [[Beast]] when he arrived at [[Hollow Bastion]]. When challenged later by Sora, he mocks him, entering Dark Mode for the first time. However, the strength of Sora's heart soared, his friends [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]], and his weapon returned to him, which defeated Riku. | After coming into the service of Maleficent, Riku's heart began to be weakened by his continual use of the darkness, so the witch granted him power over it, allowing him to control [[Heartless]] and enter Dark Mode.

Riku would utilize this form as he struggled in the card worlds. He would change into Dark Mode sparingly, a massive fear of the darkness manifesting in the depths of his heart, much to Ansem's displeasure. | ||
Later on, [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], and [[Zexion]], members of [[Organization XIII|the Organization]], wished to use the boy and his dark powers to halt the plans of the traitorous [[Marluxia]]. When Vexen challenged Riku, it was his immense power that led to the creation of the [[Riku Replica]], an aggressive replica of Riku created by Vexen from the boy's combat data.

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', when Riku activates this form, a blue aura surrounds him, he jumps into the air and shouts, "Darkness!". A bright blue light shoots out of his chest, and in a flash of light, his clothes transform into the same suit he wore while possessed by Ansem in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

It should be noted that Dark Mode is only triggered when the player manages to fill up the Dark Points gauge up to 30 by breaking cards. Once Riku is in Dark Mode, he can stay in that state for as long as he has Dark Points remaining. He loses a certain amount of Dark Points if he receives damage, proportional to the amount of damage taken, or if his card is broken, with the number of Dark Points lost equal to the difference between the enemy's card and the broken card. For example, if an enemy breaks Riku's 2 card with a 9 card, Riku loses 7 DP. When his Dark Points reach zero, Riku reverts back to his normal form. | ||
While in Dark Mode, Riku has increased speed, can utilize Sleights, and his Soul Eater reacts to the darkness, increasing in power. His three-hit combo has the power to stun with the second hit, flames bursting from the Soul Eater upon the combo finisher. Riku possesses an aerial spin-slash, also able to double-jump behind an enemy and dash in a similar fashion to Sora's [[Quick Run]]. While under the possession of Ansem, Riku has access to almost all of his dark powers, including a few new abilities such as a dark version of Strike Raid. | |||

While the player is in close range, Riku will attempt a powerful spin-slash. He uses a single-hit slash which closes in far gaps, and he is also able to deal immense damage. Magic has no effect on Riku, so the player must rely solely on the Keyblade. Jars can be found on the sides of the battlefield which contain HP Balls and Hi-Potions. | ||
When tackling a possessed Riku, who wields Dark Mode to its maximum potential via Ansem, one must take extreme caution. Riku will dodge almost every hit, attacking with just as much speed. Guard and retaliate immediately afterwards. Depending on what attack is blocked, a certain number of Tech Points may be earned. | When tackling a possessed Riku, who wields Dark Mode to its maximum potential via Ansem, one must take extreme caution.
