Trophies

Trophies are special awards for feats of gaming skill that are present in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, and are very similar to the Xbox 360's Achievement and PlayStation 3's Trophy systems. In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, each Trophy comes with a unique prize called a "Trophy Bonus", which are usually Deck Commands, and in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, each Trophy comes with a Trophy Chip. Reaching goalposts of 2, 5, 8, 12, 16, 20, 25, and 30 Trophies will also award the player with pieces of the "King Mickey" outfits, and collecting 20 trophies is required to unlock the secret movie, Signs of What's Next.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, the player does not receive a notification that they have gotten their trophy. They must check the Trinity Archives to receive notices of their trophies in order of how they got them. Then they can check the "Trophies" tab to see the trophies they have gotten. Furthermore, when a player starts a new game in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, they are directed to select existing save files, and are awarded Trophies and the respective Trophy Bonuses depending on which Trophies those save files contained. In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, the player does not receive their trophy when they complete its requirements; instead, they must also open the Debug Reports and select "Trophies" to receive the trophy and prizes. As such, it is in fact possible to "lose" a trophy if a player manages to undo the fulfilled requirements before collecting the Trophy.

Trivia

 * When the player obtains the Dairy Devotee trophy, the message is a reference to the "WINNER" contest held by the sea-salt ice cream shop in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
 * Strangely, although the player can earn any Trophy in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded at any point, the Tutorial text for Trophies will not appear until they have achieved Twilight Triumph trophy at the end of the game.
