Premium Menu

The Premium Menu 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 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.

Battle Codes
Deadly Blow
 * You can defeat enemies in one hit. However, certain enemies and bosses are immune to this effect.
 * Although most bosses throughout the story are susceptible to the effects of Deadly Blow, those with cutscenes dividing 'phases' of the battle, such as the Catastrochorus in San Fransokyo, will merely be reduced to 1HP before moving on to the next phase.

Auto-block
 * Enemy attacks are automatically blocked. Auto-block does not activate when you are attacking, or when you are using forms with no blocking.
 * Sora will perform a block with no input when Auto-block is activated. However, he will not perform an auto-block during attack animations, even if a block can be activated via player input at that time.

HP Regen
 * Your whole team's HP automatically regenerates.

MP Regen
