[[File:Star Fragment.png|thumb|right|Star Fragment]]In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', the Gummi Blocks have a larger part in the game's plot. They are known as '''Star Fragments''', and are how [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] travels the worlds. The Star Fragments also appear as star-shaped crystals, as opposed to the block-like, geometric shapes of typical Gummi Blocks. It is known, however, that King Mickey will not be the only character to come in contact with Star Fragments; both [[Ventus]] and [[Captain Hook]] have been shown to find one of King Mickey's Star Fragments. | |||

According to the [[Ansem Reports]], [[Xehanort]] caused Gummi Blocks to appear in [[Radiant Garden]] for the first time, and was also the first to study them. By this time, the [[Disney Castle]] world had already made use of this material, as King Mickey appeared in Radiant Garden in a Gummi Ship soon after. Unknown to Xehanort, by opening the door to the heart of Radiant Garden, he also opened the gateway allowing his world to interact with others. | |||

It appears that when the door leading to a world's heart is opened, the wall that protects that world collapses. Gummi blocks then appear in said world, as in the case of Ansem's study of the meteors, suggesting that the blocks are remnants of the protective wall of the world. The nature and origin of Gummi blocks is what allows them to travel to other worlds. | ||
As mentioned in the Ansem Reports, Gummi blocks are "elastic" and "bond easily" when combined, as evident when creating [[Gummi Ship]]s. The blocks themselves are very numerous and come in all shapes and sizes with properties attached to each. When added to Gummi ships, they provide advantages such as improved armor, increased acceleration and greater firepower. In both versions of Kingdom Hearts, specialized Gummi blocks can be used for other advantages, such as warp travel in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. | As mentioned in the Ansem Reports, Gummi blocks are "elastic" and "bond easily" when combined, as evident when creating [[Gummi Ship]]s.

The primary way that [[Sora]] obtains Gummi Blocks is by destroying enemy [[Gummi Ship]]s and obtaining blocks or blueprints from their remnants. Rarer blocks, however, can be found in chests throughout the worlds and dropped from certain [[Heartless]]. Later on in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', they can be purchased from [[Cid]] who, in a nod to his affinity with Airships, is an expert in Gummi engineering. Cid resumes his former work with Gummi Ships when [[Sora]] finds half of a '''Navi-G''' block in [[Deep Jungle]]. | The primary way that [[Sora]] obtains Gummi Blocks is by destroying enemy [[Gummi Ship]]s and obtaining blocks or blueprints from their remnants.
