{{nihongo|'''Gummi Blocks'''|グミブロック|Gumi Burokku}} are materials used primarily in the creation and modification of [[Gummi Ship]]s. They are elastic and rubber-like in texture, and appear in many varieties. Each type has its own shape and properties and a wide variety of uses.  

During one of the many quests the [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] encounters in [[Daybreak Town]], a mysterious shooting star crashes into the boardwalk, which turns out to be the Gummi Ship that [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] use. The crash landing broke the ship up, so the Player then goes around exterminating Gummi Heartless in multiple worlds until they encounter [[King Mickey]], Chip, and Dale. The local Moogle shopkeeper tries to get more blocks than the Player, but fails, even though it makes a Moogle Gummi Ship. Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Chip, and Dale leave once the ship is fixed.

According to the [[Ansem Reports]] found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', [[Xehanort]] caused Gummi Blocks to appear in [[Radiant Garden]] for the first time, and was also the first to study them. By this time, the [[Disney Castle]] world had already made use of this material, as King Mickey appeared in Radiant Garden in a Gummi Ship soon after. Unknown to Xehanort, by opening the door to the heart of Radiant Garden, he also opened the gateway allowing his world to interact with others.   

A basic understanding of what Gummi blocks are can be inferred from the Ansem Reports. It appears that when the door leading to a world's heart is opened, the wall that protects that world collapses. Gummi blocks then appear in said world, as in the case of Ansem's study of the meteors, suggesting that the blocks are remnants of the protective wall of the world. The nature and origin of Gummi blocks is what allows them to travel to other worlds.

As mentioned in the Ansem Reports, Gummi blocks are "elastic" and "bond easily" when combined, as evident when creating Gummi Ships. The blocks themselves are very numerous and come in all shapes and sizes with properties attached to each. When added to Gummi ships, they provide advantages such as improved armor, increased acceleration and greater firepower. In both versions of Kingdom Hearts, specialized Gummi blocks can be used for other advantages, such as warp travel in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

[[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] later use Mickey's Star Shard to travel to [[The World That Never Was]] to aid [[Lea]], Mickey and [[Riku]] against [[Master Xehanort]].

Unlike its predecessor, ''Kingdom Hearts II'' gummis can only be obtained within the Gummi Ship mini-game, or through purchase in the Gummi Ship editor. Rare gummis are awarded by completing special goals within [[Gummi Missions]], or by destroying special enemies.
