Game Over

Game Over is when a player's health points (HP) are reduced to zero, or they fail a required objective, they can be sent to the "Game Over" screen. The animation of the Game Over screen varies between games, and generally has two options: "Continue" (go back to the last checkpoint, usually at the start of the battle) or "Restart" (go back to the title screen and reload your saved game). However, in Kingdom Hearts II, a third option can appear if you lose in certain Boss Battles: "I won't give up!", which allows the player to continue the boss fight as King Mickey while reviving Sora.

Kingdom Hearts
If Sora loses all of his HP, he will be shown floating prone in the darkness, with his heart hovering above his body.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
If Sora or Riku lose all of their HP, they will be shown floating prone in the darkness, with their heart hovering above their body.

Kingdom Hearts II
If Sora loses all of his HP, he will be shown floating prone in the darkness, with his heart hovering above his body. If he simply fails an objective, such as letting Minnie Mouse be defeated or failing to defeat Demyx's clones in time, Sora will be shown standing with his arms crossed and a defeated look on his face.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
If Roxas loses all of his HP, he will be shown in the same pose as Sora, but since he is a Nobody, there will be no heart hovering above him. In the Mission Mode of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days every character has their own defeated position. When they fail or withdraw from a mission, they will show their defeated position.
