Mickey Mouse: Difference between revisions

* Mickey was originally intended to be the main protagonist of the series with Donald and Goofy by his side, but Square insisted on a human protagonist and Sora, along with Riku and Kairi, were born. He bears much of Mickey's trademark apparel, such as white gloves and big yellow shoes.

* Mickey's <b> Pearl </b> is a variant of the recurring Final Fantasy spell <b> Holy </b>, which has been translated in various titles as <b> Fade </b>, <b> White </b>, and <b> Pearl </b> due to a barring of religious imagery America by Nintendo, then the publisher of Square's games. In ''Final Fantasy VI'', released in the US first as Final Fantasy III, the spell that read in Japanese as <b> Holy </b> was translated as <b> Pearl </b>, though it is unclear whether this was simply for creative reasons (the spell actually resembles three pearls that descend upon the enemy and explode) or because of censorship issues.

* In the world of Kingdom Hearts, it appears as though the spells <b> Pearl </b>, as cast by Mickey Mouse, and <b> Holy </b>, as cast by Sora in [[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]], are two distinct spells, though in Final Fantasy titles they are two differing translations of the same spell.

* Although in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' Mickey is credited as having first appeared in the Disney short "Steamboat Willie", this is incorrect. Mickey first appeared in "Plane Crazy", but "Steamboat Willie" is often considered his first notable performance, as he was characterized very differently in "Plane Crazy".

* [[Riku]] is the only character who calls Mickey by his name, at his request.

* Apparently, Donald is Mickey's best friend, while they are rivals in the post-1940s Disney cartoons (though this is mostly on Donald's part); however, in the cartoons, Donald does seem to be a genuine friend to Mickey.  

* In the first game, Mickey could (barely) be seen in his casual clothing. However, in later games, his attire resembled, more or less, like his original attire.

* Mickey is the only Disney character (besides [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]]) who has clothes resembling Final Fantasy characters rather than a previous outfit. (It should also be noted that they have weapons that have never before appeared with them).

*Mickey is the only character in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] journal to not have a full view.

*Before he is seen fully in the ending of the first Kingdom Hearts, Mickey appears to destroy two Darkside heartless within seconds.

*Like Sora who donned some of Mickey's patterns in his garments, Mickey's apperance in [[Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]] has him wearing black and gray clothing similar to Sora's outfit in [[Kingdom Hearts II]].
