The '''HP Gauge''' represents the remaining and total amounts of a character's [[Hit Points]]. It consists of a green bar that encircles or sit below or beside a sprite of the character's profile, with the level of green indicating the current level of HP. When the character takes damage, the level of green in the gauge will drop, and in most games, the lost level of green will appear dark red before shrinking down to the current level of green. Additionally, depending on the game, the gauge may flash or shake, and the sprite may flinch or flash. When HP reaches a critically low level, the gauge will flash red, and an alarm will sound. The character's sprite may also change to indicate danger. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', the HP gauge includes a yellow portion that indicates when a [[Limit Break]] may be used. It also flashes yellow when collecting Mission Point prizes in [[Mission Mode]].

Line 14: Line 12:
In every game but ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the player character's HP Gauge will increase in length when their maximum HP increases, whether upon gaining a level or receiving a bonus. In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', once the HP Gauge reaches beyond the length corresponding to 280 HP, the green HP bar is overlaid by a second, blue bar, which will be depleted before the green bar when damage is taken. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', a party member's HP gauge increases in length when maximum HP increases, but in subsequent games it does not.

Enemy HP gauges are displayed on-screen when the [[Scan]] ability is equipped, except in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', where they are displayed automatically. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', enemy HP gauges appear at the top-left of the screen; in subsequent games, they appear at the top-right. In ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', enemy HP Gauges that extend beyond a single bar have differently-colored bars (green->yellow->orange->pink->purple in ''Kingdom Hearts'', and green->blue->yellow->red in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'') layered on top of each other that must be depleted one at a time. Each full bar represents 300 HP for ''Kingdom Hearts'' enemies, and 560 HP in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. If an enemy in ''Kingdom Hearts'' had more health than could be displayed in five bars (beyond 1500 HP) such as {{ns|Game|Sephiroth}}, it would appear as if no damage was being dealt, until the amount of remaining health fell to below 1500. Starting with the release of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', enemy HP gauges that extend beyond one bar have green, rectangular blocks beneath the current HP bar, each one representing a full HP bar yet to be depleted, with each full bar representing 200 HP in most games.

While Riku is in his standard form, the DP Gauge is blue, as is the DP counter to its left. During Dark Mode, the gauge and the counter turn white. The gauge is also accompanied by a [[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Heartless|Heartless symbol]], which becomes a white letter "D" during Dark Mode.

While playing the [[Monstro's Belly Brawl]] mini-game, a gauge appears on the right of the screen. It increases with every Heartless defeated and decreases with every second the player doesn't defeat a Heartless. The mini-game is complete when the gauge is filled and all remaining Heartless are destroyed. If the gauge becomes empty, Sora leaves the Key to Truth room and must return to try again. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', a time limit to fill up the gauge is set to two minutes.
