The '''Gummi Ship''' is the main method of transportation between [[world]]s in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. The other games use other mechanics for transportation.

Several characters, including [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] and [[Sora]], as well as groups like the [[Heartless]] and the [[Nobody|Nobodies]], use Gummi Ships to move between worlds. These ships are made entirely of [[Gummi Blocks]], made of special Gummi material that allows to travel between Worlds. Gummi Ship travel is a bit slower, but more reliable alternative to warping by using a [[Corridor of Darkness]].

Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] all use the Gummi Ship to sail across the worlds. Using the most open routes possible, the trio traverse the universe in hopes of locating the King and [[Riku]]. Riku first discovers that a [[Corridor of Darkness]] works faster than any ship, but drains one's life force. After sealing the [[Keyhole]] of [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Leon]] reveals that when the Heartless are extinguished, it will be impossible to traverse worlds anymore because the world barriers will be reconstructed. Sora, although disappointed, knows it will be for the best. It is unknown what happened to the Gummi Ship after the trio landed in the [[End of the World]], but it presumably stays in the world until it collapses, and then falls into the void of darkness.

[[Yen Sid]] magically retrieves the Gummi Ship and returns it to Sora and company when they arrive at his tower. King Mickey likely uses his Gummi Ship to travel across worlds as well. In [[Radiant Garden]], [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge]] reveals how the Gummi Ships were made. This time around, the gang have to unlock [[Gate]]s in order to make it across worlds before Heartless appear there. Once again, it is unknown what happened to the Gummi Ship when [[The World That Never Was]] fell apart, but it is likely that it was recovered and used for Mickey to report to Yen Sid about the location of Ventus's heart later on.

In order for Sora to regain the powers he lost when Xehanort kidnapped his body, Yen Sid directs Sora and his friends to go seek training from [[Hercules]] at the Coliseum. On board the Gummi Ship, Sora initially has trouble finding a route, but at Goofy's urging, takes Yen Sid's words to heart and uses his heart as his "guiding key", opening a [[Gate]] to the world.

In the Gummi Garage, the player can create their own Gummi Ship from the Gummi Blocks they possess. The player can create any design of ship they desire, so long as it uses no more than a set number of blocks, but [[List of Gummi Ship Blueprints (KH)|blueprint]]s with pre-made designs can also be obtained through various means. Gummi Blocks can be obtained by purchasing them in shops, finding them in treasure chests, or looting them from destroyed enemy ships. However, Sora will receive a full set of Gummi Blocks for retrieving all [[99 Puppies]], so that no further purchases or looting is necessary.

In order to reach other worlds, the player must fly along the route between the worlds each time until they obtain the [[Special Gummi#Warp-G|Warp-G]] that lets them teleport directly to that world. When flying along routes, Gummi Ships fly forward on their own through dense, generic asteroid fields, with the player controlling the ship's position on the screen—up, down, left and right. The player can also hit the brakes, slowing the ship down. Meanwhile, enemy Gummi Ships piloted by Heartless fly through the expanse, infrequently harrying the Gummi Ship or sometimes simply blocking its way. When the obstacles are destroyed by weapons fire, they will drop pick-ups that refill the Gummi Ship's Armor or Power. When enemy ships are destroyed, they will randomly drop Gummi Blocks or the ship's blueprint. Certain routes also contain wormholes  (called Warp Holes in-game) that detour to other routes, or the gigantic whale [[Monstro]], who will swallow the ship and force it to land within him. While certain special blocks and blueprints can be obtained by arriving at each world under a certain criteria in the ''Final Mix'' version of the game, no points are awarded for flying Gummi routes, and in general the only purpose of flying one is to get from point A to point B.

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" called [[Teeny Ship]]s.

Gummi Ships, like most ships in classic space-faring games, use lasers to exterminate enemies. A ship can use anything from small head guns to Energy Cannons on the back of the ship. In the first game, [[Thunder]] blasters were used to damage enemies; in addition, weapons named after powerful spells from the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise fired lasers with homing capabilities. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' new weapon types were added. Blasters now came in three types—[[Fire]], [[Blizzard]] and [[Gravity]], while [[Thunder]] Gummis were now lasers. In addition to cannons and lasers similar to those from the first game, a ship could be equipped with two new types, Slash and Impact Gummis. The former fill a special gauge as enemies are defeated, and when full, the Gummi unleashes a powerful, devastating attack. The latter deals damage when enemy ships collide with the player's.

==Trivia==
*Cid and Mickey's Gummi Ships have not yet been seen, although there is a blueprint titled "Cid" that is obtained from Geppetto in ''Kingdom Hearts''. It is unknown if this is actually Cid's ship, however, as blueprints also appear for Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith.
*In the first game, the name of Sora's Gummi Ship is either the default ''Highwind'', ''Excalibur'', or the name players choose for the raft. However, the ship model is called the ''Kingdom'' model in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. The name ''Kingdom'' only appeared as the name of the blueprint for the default Gummi Ship in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
