Drive

One of the nicest features of Kingdom Hearts 2's gameplay is the Drive system. As you defeat enemies they drop yellow orbs that fill up a drive gauge. Once this gauge reaches its maximum, you can turn into a Drive form. But this only lasts for a small amount of time, once the gauge goes down to 0 you will return to the standard form. But if you get the yellow orbs while in a drive mode, they will fill up the drive again, so try to kill as many enemies as possible.
