[[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] have the ability to turn their [[Keyblade]]s into vehicles, which they can use to fly, even to other worlds. This ability has only been demonstrated by the trio (including Terra as the [[Lingering Sentiment]]), and so it is unknown if other Keyblade wielders can use it.


Although each Keyblade Glider is formed by throwing the Keyblade into the sky, where it transforms into its vehicle form, the heroes' gliders have drastically different forms. Terra's glider resembles a bike or speeder, Ventus's is shaped like a winged waveboard, and Aqua's is a two-part bow-and-platform device. The Keyblade wielders can also use their glider to attack; Terra spins the entire craft into a target, <!--Ventus?,--> and Aqua uses the bow of her vehicle as a literal energy bow, firing shots at enemies from far away.

The Keyblade wielders can also use their glider to attack: Terra rams his glider into the enemy, Ventus spins his glider around at the target, and Aqua uses the bow of her vehicle as a literal energy bow, firing shots at enemies from far away. Sora's Nano Gear Keyblade turns into a Glider resembling Ventus's, but he uses it merely as a transition into Nano Arms.


No matter the Keychain attached to the Keyblade when the glider is formed, its design is always derived from the wielder's original Keyblade—[[Earthshaker]] for Terra, [[Wayward Wind]] for Ventus, and [[Rainfell]] for Aqua.

==Trivia==
* Keyblade Glider is a tactic occasionally used by the [[Lingering Sentiment]] when it battles Sora in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. Also, the Sentiment appears to borrow abilities from Aqua's and Ven's Keyblade Gliders, such as Ven's speed and Aqua's magical abilities.
* The trio use their Keyblade Gliders in the [[Rumble Racing]] event in [[Disney Town]], however the color of the rides have been altered drastically.
* Ventus's usage of Keyblade Glider like a skateboard may explain how Roxas and Sora inexplicably know how to ride a skateboard.

Keyblade Glider (キーブレードライダー Kīburēdo Raidā?, lit. "Keyblade Rider") is a Formchange in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to transform the Keyblade into a vehicle to fly, even to other worlds. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua are known users of Keyblade Gliders. In Kingdom Hearts III, Sora briefly Formchanges the Nano Gear Keyblade into a Keyblade Glider as a transition into the Nano Arms Formchange.

When summoning the Keyblade Glider, Keyblade wielders generally throw the Keyblade into the sky, where it Formchanges into its vehicle mode. However, the specific model of Keyblade Glider differs depending on the user. Terra's Keyblade Glider resembles a bike or jet ski, Ventus's is shaped like a skateboard or surfboard, and Aqua's is a two-part bow-and-platform device mounted like water ski or scooter. The Keyblade wielders can also use their glider to attack: Terra rams his glider into the enemy, Ventus spins his glider around at the target, and Aqua uses the bow of her vehicle as a literal energy bow, firing shots at enemies from far away. Sora's Nano Gear Keyblade turns into a Glider resembling Ventus's, but he uses it merely as a transition into Nano Arms.

No matter the Keychain attached to the Keyblade when the glider is formed, the glider's design is based on a single Keyblade model — Ends of the Earth for Terra, Wayward Wind for Ventus, Stormfall for Aqua, and Nano Gear for Sora. However, during the Rumble Racing mini-game, the gliders are given a completely different color scheme.

Keyblade Glider is also the special event for the "Keyblade" and "Secret" Command Boards. When activated, the player boards their Keyblade Glider, and can move to any spot they choose on the board.
