Glide

Glide (グライド) is an ability that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. In Kingdom Hearts it is a Shared ability, in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix it is a Growth ability learned and upgraded by leveling up Final Form, and in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days it is an ability panel that can be upgraded from Glide LV1 to Glide LV2, Glide LV3, Glide LV4, and Glide LV5 by linking Glide LV+ Ⓛ (グライドアップⓁ) panels.

Glide allows you to ride the wind and travel over distances in the air. It can be used as a faster mode of transportation than running, or as an evasion technique. This ability can be activated in midair by holding down in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories,  in Kingdom Hearts II,  in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and  in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. If the button is held down without indicating a direction on the control stick or pad, you will slowly descend in place. Leveling up Glide in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days increases gliding speed.
