Racing Riku

Racing Riku (as it is refered to in the Brady Official Strategy guide) is the second mini game in the original Kingdom Hearts involving Riku. It takes place on Destiny Islands =Objective= The Objective is to beat Riku in a race that Kairi times. This adds on to the Sora and Riku score board. Each time Sora wins he will recieve a pretty stone which is worth 30 munny. This can be done up to 99 times.

=Course= The course runs through the cove of Destiny Islands where a zip line can be taken or the long route towards a star shaped marker and then back. The star will glow once the half marker has been reached. Players cannot cheat by hitting Riku as use of the Wooden Sword is disabled. Riku may take the zipline if Sora blocks his path but at certain intervals of the race Riku will walk instead of run.

=Trivia=
 * This is technically the first nonbattle mini-game in the entire Kingdom Hearts series.
 * This also determines what the gummi ship will be named in the first Kingdom Hearts game. Highwind is the default name if Riku wins but Sora can choose a name at the beggining and if he wins that will be the Gummi Ship's name.
