Dash (ability)

Dash is an ability in that allows Sora in Lion Form to run extremely fast for a little while. It is learned after reaching the Wildebeest Valley. Because this ability is only for Sora's Lion Form, this ability can only be used in the Pride Lands. It can be activated by pressing and holding.

After you restore Simba's confidence during the second visit to the Pride Lands, Sora learns Running Tackle which is an attack that can only be executed while using Dash ( + ) and lets him spin around with his keyblade.

When Goofy and Donald try to catch up with Sora, Goofy will spin his shield rapidly and Donald will almost glide. Sora himself has small trouble controlling himself. When he turns he will slide until you stop holding the Dash button.
