The '''Gummi Ship''' is the main way of transportation between worlds in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts series]]''. [[King Mickey]], [[Sora]], the [[Heartless]] and [[Nobodies]] use Gummi Ships to move about. These ships are made entirely of [[Gummi Blocks]], due to the material's special ability to travel between worlds. Apparently, the ships were invented by King Mickey, and was invested by [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge McDuck]]. A faster, albeit riskier alternative to Gummi Ship travel, commonly used by [[Heartless]], is warping via a [[Corridor of Darkness]].
The '''Gummi Ship''' is the main way of transportation between worlds in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts|Kingdom Hearts]]'' series. Several characters and factions, including [[King Mickey]], [[Sora]], the [[Heartless]] and [[Nobodies]] use Gummi Ships to move between [[World]]s. These ships are made entirely of [[Gummi Blocks]], made of special Gummi material that allows to travel between Worlds. While slower, Gummi travel is a slower but more reliable alternative than warping via a [[Corridor of Darkness]].
 
Although Gummi travel seems to have originated with [[King Mickey]], it is now mostly handled by his loyal subjects [[Chip and Dale]], as well as [[Radiant Garden]] refugee [[Cid]] and [[Pinocchio]]'s father, [[Gepetto]]

Gummi Ships are constructed of the meteors that assumingly fall upon the world as a result of its door being opened, as noted in the Ansem Reports by [[Xehanort's Heartless]]. King Mickey was the first to create a Gummi Ship.

King Mickey used the Gummi Ship to visit [[Ansem the Wise]] in [[Radiant Garden]] to discover the reason why the worlds were disappearing. Both Ansem and his apprentice, [[Xehanort]], were fascinated by the Gummi technology, and discovered it was possible because the Heartless had destroyed the world barriers.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' in [[Twilight Town]], [[Yen Sid]] had magically retrieved the Gummi Ship, and returned it to Sora and company when they arrived at his tower. King Mickey must have used his Gummi Ship to travel across worlds as well. In [[Radiant Garden]] Scrooge reveals how the Gummi Ships were made. This time around, the gang had to bust world barriers in order to make it across worlds before Heartless appeared there. Once again, it is unknown what happened to the Gummi Ship when [[the World That Never Was]] fell apart, although it probably fell into the void again. However, King Mickey left a letter, so it is possible that the Gummi Ships were found.

==== Teeny Ships ====
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', smaller ships, called teeny ships were added.  Both ships are controlled by [[Chip]] and [[Dale]].


==Interior, Exterior, and Weapons==
==Gameplay==
Gummi Ships, like most space faring ships, use lasers to exterminate enemies. It can use anything from small head guns, to Energy Cannons on the back of the ship. Much like the [[Keyblade]] Gummi Ships can be rebuilt to fit certain needs. They range from the size of a shack to the size of a deluxe battleship. They seem to have seats within the front of the ship and one large viewing screen for watching battles.  [[Fire]], [[Blizzard]], and [[Gravity]] are the three types of guns used on a gummi ship.  [[Thunder]] weapons fired lasers and special gummi could hurt enemies on contact.
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
In the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', Gummi travel was simple: The ship would move forward on its own, and you could control up, down, left and right. The ability to brake was also included, but merely slowed the ship instead of a full stop. Numerous enemy ships would appear, and upon their destruction would leave a Gummi block or a blueprint for that enemy ship.  


==Gummi Hangar==
The meters reflecting a ship's stats in flight would consist of:
This is the area in which Chip & Dale get the [[Gummi Ship]] ready for missions . Before starting [[Gummi Ship]] missions, you start here and you can do things such as, give the [[Gummi Ship]] more weapons and make it stronger.
*Armor: The ship's [[Hit Points]].
*Power: The ship's [[Magic|Magic Points]].
*Shield: Extra defense for the ship which could only be gotten from the Shield blocks.
*Turbo: Extra speed for the ship which could only be gotten from Haste blocks).  


On the garage menu, you could create your own ship, with a block limit almost impossible to reach. Blocks could also be turned and colored for use.


==Control==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
While Gummi travel did not appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', it appeared in a very different form in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.  Gummi travel went from an aerial-combat style to a [[wikipedia:Rail shooter|rail shooter]]. Although the system was very different, the concept became more like a mini-game.  A path would only have to be traversed once to get to a world, and then that world would become available without the use of Gummi travel.  The number of meters was


In the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', Gummi travel was simple: The ship would move forward on its own, and you could control up, down, left and right. The ability to brake was also included, but merely slowed the ship instead of a full stop. Numerous enemy ships would appear, and upon their destruction would leave a Gummi block or a blueprint for that enemy ship. The meters included in flight would consist of armor (substituting HP) and Power (substituting MP). Certain blocks added additional meters, such as shield (from the Shield and Shield-2 blocks) and turbo (from the Haste and Haste-2 blocks). On the garage menu, you could create your own ship, with a block limit almost impossible to reach. Blocks could also be turned and colored for use.
However, each track has three missions with set goals, a score system, and prizes.  Blocks and new Gummi Ship abilities can be awarded for high scores, and rarely dropped by rare ships in battle. The most notable differences in the system are the ability to turn the ship around during flight, the Overdrive feature, the concept of in-flight bosses, and the addition of Teeny Ships, smaller ships that can fly alongside you. While the game allowed for the customization of ships, completed blueprints could also be awarded for exceptional flight, both as useful ships or as ''[[w:c:finalfantasy|Final Fantasy]]''-shaped novelty Gummi ships.


While Gummi travel did not appear in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, it appeared in a different form in Kingdom Hearts 2. Although the system was more complicated, the concept became that of a mini-game. A path would have to be traversed once to get to a world, and then that world would become available without the use of Gummi travel. However, each track has 3 missions with set goals and a score system, which acted as a side game that did not affect the story. Blocks would be awarded as prizes for score, and rarely dropped by a ship, which also included Nobody ships. The most notable features are the ability to turn the ship around during flight, the Overdrive feature, the concept of in-flight bosses, and the addition of Teeny Ships, smaller ships that can fly alongside you. While the game allowed for the customization of ships, completed blueprints were awarded for flight, based off of the Highwind, Invincible, and the Falcon, all airships of the Final Fantasy series. Bonus ships included the Tonberry, Moogle, Chocobo, Cactuar, Cait Sith and Fenrir, all modeled and named after characters or enemies in the Final Fantasy series.
Gummi Ship stats were increased to five:
*HP: The ship's hit points, similar to Armor.
*Offense: The amount of weaponry on a ship.
*Power: How much damage each piece of weaponry hits for.
*Mobility: Allows faster and freer turns and spins for the ship.
*Speed: How fast the ship moves through the course.


Also, ship customization was improved as well. Along with coloring blocks, the player also has the choice of using block skins, which have special designs. New blocks were included, such as blades, shields, saws, propellers, and even wheels. Also, each block has a cost, instead of a "Block Limit". The most abstract feature is the ability system, which grants certain powers to the ship during flight.
Ship customization was also improved over the first game. Along with coloring blocks, the player also has the choice of using block skins with special designs. New block-types were included, such as blades, shields, saws, propellers, and even wheels; in addtion, instead of a "Block Limit", each block has a cost to limit the size and power of the Gummi ship. Finally, an ability system was added, granting certain powers to the ship during flight.

Gummi Ships can be modified and customized through the use of additional [[Gummi Blocks]].  The Gummi Garage, run by [[Chip and Dale]], is where Ship modification can be performed.
===Modification===
Gummi Ships can be modified and customized extensively through the use of additional [[Gummi Blocks]].  Many of the most rare and powerful blocks must be won or found through the course of the game.  In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Gummi Blocks were frequently rewards from chests, but in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', they can only be won through completing [[Gummi Missions]].  In addition, ''Kingdom Hearts II'' allowed players to create special "helper ships" run by Chip and Dale called Teeny Ships.
