Dark Mode: Difference between revisions

'''Dark Mode''' is a special ability [[Riku]] can transform into ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories|Chain of Memories]]''. Riku initially receives this ability from [[Maleficent]], and uses it against [[Sora]] after Sora reclaims the [[Keyblade]], but loses it after his body is taken by [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]]. [[Riku Replica]] can also use this form too.  

After entering [[Castle Oblivion]], Ansem manipulates the darkness in Riku's heart, giving Riku the ability to use Dark Mode freely. In this form, Riku can use his darkness without the worry of being taken over by Xehanort's Heartless. Because Riku is so darkness-oriented, this form gives him a substantial advantage in battle. While unconfirmed, it is very likely that when Riku takes the form of Xehanort's Heartless, he is using this form, able to tap into his darkness to the point of turning into Darkness itself.
