In ''Kingdom Hearts | In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', when Riku activates this form, a blue aura surrounds him, he jumps into the air and shouts, "Darkness!". A bright blue light shoots out of his chest, and in a flash of light, his clothes transform into the same suit he wore while possessed by Ansem in ''Kingdom Hearts''. This consists of a form-fitting suit that appears to be made of black muscle tissue. | ||
The black fades to red around the wrists and comes with purple gloves that are tucked under the suit. The suit has a purple-blue color on the chest and part of the torso with the Heartless emblem on the chest, but without the spiked bars crossing it. It has purple feet and shins that fade into black legs. It has a dark purple belt and a cloth around his waist, opening in the front. The cloth is an off-white color that fades into dark purple and is ripped all around at the bottom. | The black fades to red around the wrists and comes with purple gloves that are tucked under the suit.

In ''Kingdom Hearts | In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', since Riku is a playable character, he has a specific moveset while in Dark Mode. It should be noted that Dark Mode is only triggered when the player manages to fill up the Dark Points gauge up to 30 by breaking cards. Once Riku is in Dark Mode, he can stay in that state for as long as he has Dark Points remaining. He loses a certain amount of Dark Points if he receives damage, proportional to the amount of damage taken, or if his card is broken, with the number of Dark Points lost equal to the difference between the enemy's card and the broken card. For example, if an enemy breaks Riku's 2 card with a 9 card, Riku loses 7 DP. When his Dark Points reach zero, Riku reverts back to his normal form. | ||
While in Dark Mode, Riku has increased speed, can utilize Sleights, and his Soul Eater reacts to the darkness, increasing in power. His three-hit combo has the power to stun with the second hit, flames bursting from the Soul Eater upon the combo finisher. Riku possesses an aerial spin-slash, also able to double-jump behind an enemy and dash in a similar fashion to Sora's [[Quick Run]]. While under the possession of Ansem, Riku has access to almost all of his dark powers, including a few new abilities such as a dark version of Strike Raid. | While in Dark Mode, Riku has increased speed, can utilize Sleights, and his Soul Eater reacts to the darkness, increasing in power.

When tackling a possessed Riku, who wields Dark Mode to its maximum potential via Ansem, one must take extreme caution. Riku will dodge almost every hit, attacking with just as much speed. Guard and retaliate immediately afterwards. Depending on what attack is blocked, a certain number of Tech Points may be earned. Beware that when Riku's HP starts to dwindle, he summons the power of darkness to unleash a series of dangerous desperation attacks. Again, magic has no effect, the Keyblade and its abilities the player's only chance of survival. | When tackling a possessed Riku, who wields Dark Mode to its maximum potential via Ansem, one must take extreme caution.
