TheGimmick Card (ギミックカード, Gimikku Kādo?)[1] is a special Card that can be obtained during boss battles where the enemy usesblack-bordered cards to fight, with the exceptions of Marluxia's second and third forms. It depicts a greenHidden Mickey. The card acts as a 0 card, but cannot be broken or stacked for sleights and will still take effect if used against another 0 card. Using a Gimmick Card will generate effects that can give Sora and Riku the upper hand.
