The '''Dolphin''' is found in [[Atlantica]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. Flounder calls them "giant fish." It gives [[Sora]] and his party a ride past the currents that block the passage to the Shipwreck. The Dolphin in the '''Undersea Valley''' will be available even if there are Heartless but the player will be unable to ride the Dolphin so one must defeat the Heartless before riding the Dolphin to reach the '''Shipwreck'''.

In Kingdom Hearts, the Dolphin plays a really minor role, only leading Sora and company to '''Shipwreck'''. It can also lead Sora to other places in Atlantica if the player decided to let go of the Dolphin before reaching the '''Shipwreck'''. Its help is mostly not needed after Sora and company gets the '''Mermaid Kick''' ability.
During Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s first visit to Atlantica, the dolphin swims around in several places. [[Flounder]] calls it a "giant fish". It helps the party to reach the [[Sunken Ship]], particularly when Sora does not yet have access to the [[Mermaid Kick]] ability. It also leads Sora to other places in Atlantica if he lets go of the dolphin before reaching the Sunken Ship.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+]]'', Dolphins are present in the game as a minor character, notably during one of the singing missions.
In Sora, Donald, and Goofy's second visit to Atlantica, dolphins like the one who helped Sora a year ago participate in the first song, "[[Swim This Way]]". Later, several dolphins dance along to "[[Under the Sea]]" along with Sebastian and Ariel, and more dolphins take part in the performance of the final song, "[[A New Day is Dawning]]".
