The '''Drop System''' is a feature used in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It allows the player to switch between [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] and obtain bonus prizes in the process. The player will automatically drop when the Drop Gauge runs out. The player can also drop manually by using the "Drop" button that appears on the World Map, in the main menu, or in the pause menu.

===Drop Gauge===


While on the field, the [[Gauges#Drop_Gauge|Drop Gauge]], located on the lower-right of the screen, will deplete continually over time. The Drop Gauge has three bars. It is majorly a gradient of indigo-to-teal-to-blue with an underlining gradient of pink-to-cream. The gauge's second bar is colored green, and its third is bright pink. The Drop Gauge also has a multiplier, which represents the speed in which the gauge depletes. Certain enemy attacks will cause negative [[Status Effect|Status Effects]] that will increase the speed the Gauge decreases, meaning Sora or Riku will drop faster. The player can restore the gauge and reset the drop rate by using items like [[Drop-Me-Not]] and [[Drop-Me-Never]].
The '''Drop Gauge''', located on the lower-right of the screen, has three colored bars, cyan, yellow, and magenta, which continually decrease over time while the player is on the field, in sequence. It is underlined with a magenta-to-cream gradient. The Drop Gauge also has a multiplier, which represents the speed at which the gauge depletes. Certain enemy attacks will cause negative [[Status Effects]], such as Sleep, that will increase the gauge depletion speed, meaning Sora or Riku will drop faster. The player can restore the gauge and reset the drop rate by using items like [[Drop-Me-Not]], [[Drop-Me-Never]], or [[Megalixir]], and the [[Drop Decelerator]] bonus slows the gauge down, as does guarding with [[Wake-up Block]].

Those can be later used in Relay Bonuses while droping between charaters to redeem various prizes. Droplets can also be awarded by completing [[Link Portal|Link Portals]].

Once the last bar of the Drop Gauge empties, it will leave an empty grey bar behind with a pink timer that counts down from thirty seconds, warning that the player has entered "Bonus Time". More Droplets will appear during this period. Once Bonus Time ends, the player will automatically drop into the next character. <!--How fast the countdown is completed varies with how many Droplets you have. (Is this info correct?)-->  
Once the Drop Gauge's magenta bar empties, it will leave an empty grey bar behind with a pink 30 second timer, warning that the player has entered '''Bonus Time'''. Enemies will drop Droplets more frequently during this period. Once Bonus Time ends, the player will automatically drop into the next character. <!--How fast the countdown is completed varies with how many Droplets you have. (Is this true?)-->  


If the player drops during a boss battle, when it change back to the character he was playing, it will start from the beginning of the battle, and the boss HP will be restored.
===Relay Bonus===


===Relay Bonus===

On it, the player can spend collected Drop Points (DP) to pick '''Drop Bonuses''' for the next character. Bonuses include temporary boosts in attack strength, new abilities, items, or a loss of speed at which the Gauge dissipates.
