AR Card

Like many other games, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance includes functionality with unique Augmented Reality cards, also known as "AR Cards". All but one of the cards unlocks rare Spirit Dream Eaters, each of them a themed re-skin of a more common species. However, the Kab Kannon, Frootz Cat, and R & R Seal are not required for the Spirit Trophy.

One of the AR Cards that comes bundled with the game randomly grants the player one of three Rare Spirits, and the two not obtained from the game can be bred within the game by fusing Dream Pieces without using a Recipe. The other allows the player to display any of their recruited Dream Eaters with the 3DS's external cameras. However, the Kab Kannon, Frootz Cat, and R & R Seal cannot be obtained through in-game means in the Japanese version.
