A character's level represents their overall growth, and most stats grow in tandem with the level; a low-level character will generally have less stamina and strength than a high-level character. The character's level will go up each time they obtain set amounts of [[experience|experience points]]; normally the level is automatically increased, while in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', the player is instead awarded [[Level Up]] panels or chips that they can choose to equip. This generally provides the character with an assortment of bonuses to their other stats, with the exception of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', in which the player chooses one of three bonuses upon leveling up. | A character's level represents their overall growth, and most stats grow in tandem with the level; a low-level character will generally have less stamina and strength than a high-level character.

'''Hit Points''', '''Health Points'''{{?}}, or '''HP''', represent a character's or enemy's health. When damage is taken in battle or in the field, the damage is taken out of the current HP. Once HP falls to zero, the character is knocked out and can no longer fight. In the case of the main character, losing all HP results in a [[Game Over]]. HP can be restored by collecting [[HP Prize]]s, or with healing items like [[Potion]]s and [[Elixir]]s, [[Cure]] magic, or some abilities. | '''Hit Points''', '''Health Points'''{{?}}, or '''HP''', represent a character's or enemy's health.

'''Magic Points''', or '''MP''', represents a character's ability to cast [[magic]] and use certain active abilities in ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III''. Every time a spell or ability is used, the cost is taken from the character's current MP. MP can be restored with healing items like [[Ether]]s and [[Elixir]]s, or with some abilities. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the maximum MP determines the strength of magic spells, such as the amount of damage inflicted by magic, the amount of HP restored by Cure, or the length of Aero, though it does not affect special abilities such as Sonic Blade, as they rely on the Strength stat to calculate their damage. Later games have this instead be determined by a separate Magic stat. | '''Magic Points''', or '''MP''', represents a character's ability to cast [[magic]] and use certain active abilities in ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
