Editing Music Stage

In '''Memory Dives''', the party glides down a music sheet as cutscenes from across the series play. Instead of defeating enemies, the player has to land on the correct notes, using {{button|x}}, {{button|l1}}, and/or {{button|r1}}. For hold notes, the player needs to hold at least one of the buttons.

'''Boss Battles''' pit the party against a boss. Gameplay is mostly identical to Memory Dives, though with the addition of ability crystals from Field Battles. During a Boss Battle, the track my sometimes enter a '''Dark Zone'''. When a Dark Zone is cleared, the boss will perform a powerful attack that the party will defend against or evade; the player's performance affects the party's defense against the attack.

The {{nihongo|'''Basic'''|ノーマル|Nōmaru|lit. "Normal"}} style is the default, standard gameplay. All mechanics function normally.

The {{nihongo|'''One Button'''|ワンボタン|Wan Botan}} style is a significantly easier mode of play. As the name suggests, only one button is required to clear Music Stages with this style. To accommodate this simple control scheme, horizontal movement when gliding and team members' attacks are automatic. High scores earned in the One Button style are recorded separately from Basic style scores, and progress toward many [[Records]] will not be counted.

The {{nihongo|'''Performer'''|パフォーマー|Pafōmā}} style is a more challenging mode that adds additional performer targets. Performer targets must be hit in time using {{button|square}}, {{button|l2}}, and {{button|r2}}, with the appropriate button being displayed over the performer target. There is no penalty for missing performer targets. Successfully hitting performer targets will not increase the score or increment the chain, but instead start a performer combo, which will contribute to the Performer Bonus for extra Rhythm Points.

===Co-Op===

{{nihongo|'''Co-Op'''|ダブルプレイモード|Daburu Purei Mōdo|lit. "Double Play Mode"}} is a cooperative variant of Field Battles in which two players share the field. The first player plays as Sora on the left half of the field, and the second plays as Riku on the right half, both in their ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' outfits. In addition to their normal abilities, both players have access to [[Friend Curaga]]. There are a total of 21 Co-Op stages. No rewards are given for completing a stage in Co-Op mode.

In all stages, each note is worth a score that varies depending on timing; for higher scores, hit the note when the outer circle of the timing guide aligns with the inner circle: The score has four different ranks: "Miss" (which does not add any points), "Good", and either a gold or rainbow "Excellent".
