Drive Gauge

The Drive Gauge is a new bar in Kingdom Hearts II like that of HP and MP. It is used above the MP gauge. It is used for Drive Forms and Summons in Kingdom Hearts II which will deplete the gauge. You can replenish the Drive Gauge by picking up Drive Orbs or from the Drive Recovery or High Drive Recovery items. In Kingdom Hearts II, you can get your Drive Gauge up to 7. In Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+, you can get it up to 9. When a Drive Form is triggered, the Drive Gauge's function changes. The Drive Gauge becomes gray and the gauge starts depleting, this means it has a time limit. The same thing happens when you use a summon.
