Prizes (プライズ, Puraizu?) ororbs, simply nameditems (アイテム, aitemu?) inKingdom Hearts, are recurring minor items and drops that appear throughout theKingdom Hearts series. They come in a variety of forms and often serve as restorative items, currency, or collectables.
Prizes may appear when minor enemies are defeated, certain boss enemies take set amounts of damage, or certainprops are attacked. In addition, some allies orsummons may generate prizes during battle. Dropped prizes are gathered by walking or standing over them. InKingdom Hearts Re:coded, prizes are gathered automatically.
Some abilities may be equipped to increase the number of prizes dropped, such asJackpot, or to enhance their effects, such asHP Prize Plus. InKingdom Hearts Re:coded, thePrize Cheat in theStat Matrix alters the drop rate of prizes in proportion to enemy strength. EquippingTreasure Magnet makes it easier to gather dropped prizes.
