In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' when Sora and Riku use Flowmotion, they are enveloped in a magenta aura, and they are sometimes accompanied by two orbiting lights of the same color, that trail light behind them. In ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III'' when Aqua and Sora use Flowmotion, they are enveloped in a blue aura.

When Sora awakens in [[Traverse Town]], [[Neku]] can be seen using Flowmotion over the rooftops, using a [[Wall Kick]] off the side of a particularly tall building. After the two of them meet, Neku heads for the Second District, executing a [[Pole Spin]], [[Rail Slide]], and [[Superjump]] along the way.

In [[the Grid]], when [[Rinzler]] attacks Riku and [[Sam Flynn]] on the Throneship, Riku uses a Wall Kick to knock Rinzler off of the ship's bridge.

When Aqua heads toward the [[Castle of Dreams]] from the Main Road, a tremor causes the ground to collapse, forcing her to Rail Slide across a frozen river to reach the other side. She also uses Rail Slides while evading [[Darkside]]s in the [[Forest of Thorns]] of the [[Enchanted Dominion]].

In [[San Fransokyo]], Sora demonstrates and executes several Flowmotion techniques during the Shugyo. His usage of [[Superslide]], [[Superjump]], [[Pole Spin]] and [[Free Running]], inspires [[Go Go Tomago]] to add similar techniques to her arsenal.
In [[San Fransokyo]], while running a scripted Flash Tracer session (known in game as a "Shugyo"), Sora demonstrates and executes several Flowmotion techniques. His usage of [[Super Slide]], [[Super Jump]], [[Pole Spin]] and [[Free Running]], inspires [[Go Go Tomago]] to add similar techniques to her arsenal. It is interesting to note that Super Slide and Super Jump do not exhibit the characteristic blue sparkle effects during the animation; however, Free Running (for a short time) uncharacteristically ''does'' display this particle effect<ref>See youtube video for examples provided (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbmWULPE_A4)</ref>.
 
In [[The Caribbean]], when the [[Raging Vulture]] attacks the ''Black Pearl'', it is accompanied by numerous [[Vaporfly|Vaporflies]] trailing colored smoke. When one passes near the ''Pearl'', Sora uses Rail Slide to travel along the contrails, instructing Donald and Goofy to keep the ship safe while he deals with the Heartless.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Flowmotion is activated by pressing {{button|DSY}} to [[Dodge Roll]] or [[Air Slide]] into a wall or other interactive object, or by landing on certain environmental features, such as rails or fountains. Sora or Riku will perform a context-sensitive action, such as briefly sticking to and jumping off of a wall or spinning around a pole after Air Sliding into it. Using an Air Slide, Sonic Impact, or Double Impact to transition into Flowmotion will work faster than using a Dodge Roll. During a Flowmotion command, Sora or Riku cannot be staggered, but they can still receive damage.

Using an Air Slide, Sonic Impact, or Double Impact to transition into Flowmotion will work faster than using a Dodge Roll. During a Flowmotion command, Sora or Riku cannot be staggered, but they can still receive damage.
 
Once a Flowmotion is activated, it can be chained together with additional actions. The player may press {{button|DSY}} to use a [[Superslide]] to travel long distances or transition to another Flowmotion-compatible surface, {{button|DSB}} to perform a [[Superjump]] that boosts the user to a great height, or {{button|DSA}} to use a {{nihongo|'''Flowmotion Attack'''|フリーフローアタック|Furīfurō Atakku|lit. "Freeflow Attack"}}, which depends on the Flowmotion action the player is using.<!--what does this mean?
When you finish a boss, a portal, etc, using Kick Dive before you begin to do the shockwave will make the finish quickly vanish.-->
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Flowmotion is no longer as potent as its incarnation in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''; however it remains a viable method of quickly moving across the map, especially early game. Flowmotion is activated by pressing {{button|s}} to [[Air Slide]] or [[Aerial Dodge]] into a wall, or by landing on certain environmental features, such as rails. Using [[Dodge Roll]] onto these surfaces will no longer activate Flowmotion, but certain magics will now cause it to activate, such as [[Blizzard]] and [[Aero]]. Also, Sora can be staggered while in Flowmotion.


Once Flowmotion is activated, it can still be chained together with additional actions but (again) not to the extent as it could in its debut. The player may press {{button|s}} to use a [[Superslide]] to travel long distances (equipping more will cause the distance to increase dramatically); or they may {{button|c}} to perform a [[Superjump]] that boosts the user to a great height, though Super Jump can no longer be chained. {{nihongo|'''Flowmotion Attacks'''|フリーフローアタック|Furīfurō Atakku|lit. "Freeflow Attack"}} return, linked to {{button|x}}, though they are now slightly different. [[Kick Dive]] is replaced with [[Sonic Slash]], and [[Shock Dive]] is replaced with [[Sonic Cleave]], which does not generate a shockwave.
