Premium Menu

The Premium Menu (プレミアムメニュー) is a gameplay option in Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind. The menu allows the player to affect the difficulty of the game to a greater extent than simply changing the difficulty options.

During Sora's Dive to the Heart at the start of the game, after choosing a power, Sora is given a choice between a "Usual Adventure", which locks the Premium Menu, an "Easy Adventure", which unlocks the EZ Codes, and a "Challenging Adventure", which unlocks the PRO Codes. By defeating Yozora in the Secret Episode, both options are unlocked on the current save regardless of the initial choice.

The Premium Menu is accessed from the normal pause menu by pressing the touchpad on the DualShock 4 controller.

EZ Codes
EZ Codes (FASTPASS CODE) are unlocked by choosing an Easy Adventure. The choice is described in the Dive to the Heart as "an easier path to fulfilling objectives". There are two types of EZ Codes: Battle Codes, which affect combat, and Support Codes. While EZ Codes are activated, certain Trophies cannot be acquired.

Merits
Merits (ACHIEVEMENT) can be earned through the Premium Menu with EZ Codes unlocked by completing certain objectives. The activation of EZ Codes is not necessary to achieve merits, with the exception of the Survival Challenge.

PRO Codes
PRO Codes (BLACK CODE) are unlocked by choosing a Challenging Adventure. The choice is described in the Dive to the Heart as "a harder yet more glorious path". PRO Codes are ranked by difficulty through a count of stars.

Merit Points and Merit Rank
Merit points can be earned by playing the game with PRO Codes set to ON, with more difficult codes providing more merit points. At certain thresholds of merit points, the player's merit rank is increased. If any EZ Codes are active, merit points cannot be earned.
