{{nihongo|'''Dash'''|ダッシュ|Dasshu}} is a skill that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to move at high speeds.

==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', Dash is an [[enemy card]] effect that increases running speed. It costs 65 CP and lasts for 15 cards. While Dash is in effect, the user is immune to {{c|Thunder|element|lightning}}, but weak to {{c|Neutral|element|special attacks}}.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Dash is an [[action ability]] that allows the user to move more quickly by holding {{button|s}}. It is only usable by [[Lion Form]]. Attempting to turn while dashing will cause Sora to slide until he decides to stop turning or dashing, which will cause him to skid and bounce, slowing him down immediately.

The [[Gummi Ship]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' can use Dash on the World Map by pressing {{button|c}} ({{button|x}} in the Japanese releases) allowing it to quickly traverse the map.

==Learning Dash==
===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
*The [[Larxene]] enemy card has Dash as its effect.
*The [[Black Fungus]] enemy card can randomly activate Dash.
*The [[Darkside]] enemy card can mimic an enemy's Dash.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
*Lion Form learns Dash after reaching [[Wildebeest Valley]].

==Other appearances==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
The [[Keyblade Glider]]s in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' can use a {{nihongo|'''Dash'''|アクセル|Akuseru|lit. "Accelerate"}} ability on the World Map, similar to that of ''Kingdom Hearts II''<nowiki/>'s Gummi Ship, by pressing {{button|x}}.

==Drifting==
When using the Dash ability in [[Kingdom Hearts 2]] when the player turns, Sora will face the direction he is turning and slide at a wide angle before turning completely. This is a technique in some car races called "drifting" and, when timed right it is possible to travel in straight lines using this technique. It has no effect on how the ability is used, it's just a lot of fun.
