''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', a remake for the Nintendo DS, has been released in Japan and America and now Europe.

* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: The purpose of the Avatar section in ''Re:coded''.

* [[Arc Words]]: "Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it."

* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: Inside Data-Riku. In fact, when episode 7 was released, it was actually believed to ''be'' the [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]], since episode 8 had yet to be announced.

* [[Disc One Nuke]]: In the remake, once you finished Olympus Coliseum, the fourth world in the game, assuming you know where to look and how to make the command, you can get every command in the game, even the [[Game Breaker]] (see YMMV tab) without much difficulty in grinding it (outside Olympus Coliseum).

* [[Dull Surprise]]: Compare Brett Iwan's Mickey in the english version of ''Re:Coded'' to his performance in ''Birth By Sleep''. He sounds alot less into it in this game.

* [[Fighting From the Inside]]: {{spoiler|Data-Riku, after being corrupted by bugs. And Sora helps him with it.}}

* [[Get Back Here Boss]]: Iago, even more than in previous installments, as now it involves tedious platforming.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A sort of [[Fridge Logic]] moment in Wonderland:

* [[Glamour Failure]]: {{spoiler|In Castle Oblivion, the rooms don't actually look like the world.}}

* [[A Glitch in the Matrix]]: And you have to fix them.

** Glitches cause everyone in Wonderland to lose their memories.

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: The moogle will tell you that you can check the tutorial section in the menu if you need a refresher on what licenses do, before adding that he has no idea what that menu is. Somewhat justified in that you're in a computer anyway.

* [[Limit Break]]: The Overclock Finishers

* [[Lip Lock]]

* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Several challenges can be completed using small exploits. A challenge near the end of the game has you running an obstacle course with your commands disables, and to receive one reward you have to do it in under a minute. However, for some reason Glide is not enabled, allowing completion in under thirty seconds. In system sectors, there may be a challenge condition such as not using curative commands, or not jumping. However, keyblade abilities that restore HP are fine for the former, and commands and attacks that have Sora leap to attack are allowed for the latter.

* [[Lost in Transmission]]: Once the King, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and Goofy {{spoiler|realize that they've been sucked into the [[Magical Computer]]}}, they suddenly lose their communication with Chip and Dale.

* [[Magical Computer]]

** [[The Computer Is Your Friend]]: Or rather... {{spoiler|The Journal Is Your Best Friend Riku.}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]] - {{spoiler|Data-Roxas. For those who thought Roxas was "badass" prior to this, his digital counterpart could have easily become a great villain at the level of Marluxia with a dash of Larxene successfully if he dared so felt like it, [[Secret Test of Character|testing Sora or not]].}}

* [[Metal Slime]]: Gold Tricholomas.

* [[Mirror Match]]: {{spoiler|Sora-Heartless turns into a dark version of Sora.}}

** When Mickey asks what Maleficent is doing in the Datascape, she responds with "Date Escape?"

** When Pete talks to Jafar about Glitches, he has no idea how the word is spelled or pronounced ("Gali-ches?"), and just assumes Pete's some extremely powerful sorcerer.

* [[Not Completely Worthless]]: Hi-Ethers -- through most of the game, they're a waste of limited space, but when attempting a [[No Damage Run]] for the Fatal Flawless trophy, they're lifesavers when combined with the Oathkeeper Keyblade. Using them will charge your clock level up enough to activate Auto-Life, which will save you if you take a hit. The rules say you must complete the episode with your HP capped at 1. [[Loophole Abuse|There's no rule against using Auto-Life to save yourself.]]

* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: You can turn Sora into one with the last cheat. It's necessary for one of the trophies.

** And arguably it makes the plot make so much more sense. The reason that {{spoiler|Data-Roxas}} has been tormenting Sora throughout {{spoiler|Castle Oblivion}} is both because {{spoiler|he is a Nobody, meaning that he technically doesn't exist, much like data}} and because {{spoiler|he wants Sora to feel the emptiness and hurt in his heart that he felt after he lost Xion - knowing that there was someone ever so important to you, but not remembering who they were or how they affected you.}}

* [[Random Drop]]: Potions, [[Powers as Programs|Commands]], and even chips.

** [[Rare Random Drop]]: Chips won't be easily gotten. You'll need to high up the difficulty to maximum and use the multiplier cheat if you want any chances to see them.

** [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: If one has been keeping up with the in-depth information on the series, {{spoiler|the contents of the letter was pretty much inferred by the "Reconnect. Kingdom Hearts" Secret Ending}}. This is otherwise averted.

** In the case of ''Re:coded'''s secret ending, {{spoiler|the revelation that Xehanort has indeed come back in his complete form, and not by himself, if Yen Sid's theory is to be believed.}}

* [[Spoiler Opening]]: The ''very first bit'' of the opening is the ending to ''Chain of Memories'', followed by brief interspersed flashes of {{spoiler|Terra's armor collapsing to its knees after the fight with Terranort}}, {{spoiler|Ven in the Chamber of Waking}}, and {{spoiler|Aqua with the ocean of the Dark Meridian visible behind her}}. It pretty much summarizes the events of ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Chain of Memories'', and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' in a huge montage with lots of hugging, and concludes with the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' opening {{spoiler|with bonus foreshadowing of Naminé being the last thing you see}} before the title flash. The development team probably went ahead and assumed that [[You Should Know This Already|if you're playing this game, you already know this stuff]], but the ''Birth by Sleep'' ones are a little surprising, considering it's still fairly recent. Though, [[Fridge Brilliance|that's probably why]] they're such brief flashes -- if you hadn't already finished ''Birth by Sleep'', you probably wouldn't even realize what they are.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: {{spoiler|Jafar}} gains control over time after {{spoiler|Pete gives him a corrupted lamp.}}

* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: {{spoiler|Castle Oblivion.}}

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: In a bit of a first for KH games, you are allowed to be an absolute ''dick'' if you want... once you enter {{spoiler|Castle Oblivion}}. The mysterious figure guiding you actually ''encourages'' this, reminding you that the people you're seeing are just hunks of data, and {{spoiler|illusions}}, at that. [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|Why should you feel bad for breaking their nonexistent hearts]]? Then again, being Sora, most of it is considered unintentional.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: {{spoiler|Agrabah}}, oddly enough. After Sora cleans the world of bugs as usual, {{spoiler|Maleficent shows up and shatters Sora's Keyblade, and then kidnaps Riku after [[Big Damn Heroes|he and Mickey save him]].}}

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Everyone is now computer data. [[Word of God|According to Nomura]], this trope is the main theme of the game -- interesting that the [[Lighter and Softer|cheeriest game in the series]] would address something so heavy. For an example, when questioned about the nature of Data-Sora's Keyblade:

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Given to Data-Sora by {{spoiler|the Queen of Hearts}}, of all people, {{spoiler|in the Alternate Ending of Wonderland in Castle Oblivion.}}

** And since it's Wonderland, you get it for doing everything right.
