{{nihongo|'''Dash'''|ダッシュ|Dasshu}} is a skill that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It allows the user to move at high speeds.
'''Dash''' is an ability that allows [[Sora]] in [[Lion Form]] to run extremely fast for as long as the square button is held down. It is very useful when wanting to escape enemies. It is learned after reaching the Wildebeest Valley. [[Nala]] teaches it to him in order for him to jump over a gap in their path fast enough. Because this ability is only for Sora's Lion Form, this ability can only be used in the [[Pride Lands]]. It can be activated by pressing and holding {{Button|s}}. Dash is very much like [[Mermaid Kick]], another speed ability that Sora can use in his [[Merman Form]].


After you restore [[Simba]]'s confidence during the second visit to the Pride Lands, Sora learns Running Tackle which is an attack that can only be executed while using Dash ({{Button|s}} + {{Button|x}}) and lets him spin around with his [[Keyblade]].
==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', Dash is an [[enemy card]] effect that increases running speed. It costs 65 CP and lasts for 15 cards. While Dash is in effect, the user is immune to {{c|Thunder|element|lightning}}, but weak to {{c|Neutral|element|special attacks}}.


When [[Goofy]] and [[Donald]] try to catch up with Sora, Goofy will spin forward with his shield on his shell rapidly and Donald will almost glide. Sora himself has trouble controlling himself. When he turns he will slide until you stop holding the Dash button. Furthermore, if Sora stops sliding around in his dash, he will skid and jump, thus slowing him down. Donald and Goofy do not have a skid or slow down when done dashing. Strangely if in a large enough space and you start sliding, as long as the analog stick and {{button|s}} are held down, then Sora will endlessly slide in a circle without slowing down until you stop holding down {{button|s}}.
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Dash is an [[action ability]] that allows the user to move more quickly by holding {{button|s}}. It is only usable by [[Lion Form]]. Attempting to turn while dashing will cause Sora to slide until he decides to stop turning or dashing, which will cause him to skid and bounce, slowing him down immediately.


==Card Effect==
The [[Gummi Ship]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' can use Dash on the World Map by pressing {{button|c}} ({{button|x}} in the Japanese releases) allowing it to quickly traverse the map.
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', the [[Larxene]] [[Enemy Card]] can be used to activate the Dash ability. When the Larxene Card is in use, Dash increases Sora's running speed. The Dash effect will last until Sora uses 15 Cards.

Lion Sora using Dash
Dashing causes Sora's Lion Form to slide while turning.

Dash (ダッシュ Dasshu?) is a skill that appears in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. It allows the user to move at high speeds.

Mechanics[edit]

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Dash is an enemy card effect that increases running speed. It costs 65 CP and lasts for 15 cards. While Dash is in effect, the user is immune to lightning, but weak to special attacks.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Dash is an action ability that allows the user to move more quickly by holding Square. It is only usable by Lion Form. Attempting to turn while dashing will cause Sora to slide until he decides to stop turning or dashing, which will cause him to skid and bounce, slowing him down immediately.

The Gummi Ship in Kingdom Hearts II can use Dash on the World Map by pressing Circle (X in the Japanese releases) allowing it to quickly traverse the map.
