Genie: Difference between revisions

Genie's lamp was first discovered by [[Aladdin]] in the [[Cave of Wonders]]. He planned to use his three wishes to help [[Jasmine]] and then win her heart, but all of his wishes ended up being wasted on getting him and his friends out of trouble. The first wish was spent on getting rid of a [[Heartless]] attack and the second one to rescue [[Jasmine]] from [[Jafar]]. Eventually, [[Iago]] steals Genie's lamp and gives it to Jafar, who forces Genie to show Jafar the [[Keyhole]] of [[Agrabah]] and assisting him in fighting [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]] and Aladdin. To become more powerful, Jafar demands Genie turn him into an all-powerful genie. After Jafar is defeated, Jasmine is kidnapped and taken to another world. Genie offers Aladdin to return Jasmine, but Aladdin wishes Genie free from his lamp prison as he'd promised earlier. He then becomes a Summon for Sora. Unlike many of the other Summons, he does so of his own free will instead of being summoned from a gem.

Genie serves as a fragment of Sora's memory in the Agrabah floor. After Sora defeats Jafar, who is also a fragment of his memory, Genie gives Sora his summon card.

Genie reappears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' in [[Agrabah]] where he talks to [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]]. By this time, Genie and Carpet are on their way to travel the world. Once Genie hears that Agrabah is in trouble he decides not to go on his tour, but sways his decision after Roxas tells him that Aladdin wants to fix the town himself. After Roxas inadvertently helps Aladdin and Jasmine, Genie is thankful to Roxas and leaves once again. This is the only game so far that Genie doesn't serve as a summoning creature.

When Sora, Donald, and Goofy reache Agrabah, they learn Genie has gone off to see the world along with [[Carpet]]. However, he arrives near the end of Sora's first visit and disturbs [[Pete]], who tries to free Jafar from his lamp. Later, Genie clears out a sandstorm for Sora when they try to go the ruins to find Jafar, and fixes Agrabah after Jafar's destruction. He seems to have somewhat more ego here than in the first game, as he complains that one lousy sandstorm is just too easy and that he didn't get to help in the battle against Jafar. Genie once again becomes a summon partner for Sora, and gives him the [[Lamp Charm]]. As a summon, he is able to imitate Sora's [[Drive Form|Drive forms]] and wields his own [[Keyblade]].

[[Data-Sora]] visits Data Agrabah and is seen talking with Data Genie. Genie helps Sora throughout his journey to debug Agrabah after Sora recovers his lamp from Iago. This time, Genie becomes Sora's party member instead of Aladdin.
