Kingdom Hearts 3 Mod Makes King Mickey Playable
A modder has made King Mickey fully playable in Kingdom Hearts 3.
Mickey Mouse plays a pretty big role in the Kingdom Hearts series and acts as one of the strongest Guardians of Light and the King of Disney Castle. One of the coolest parts of Kingdom Hearts 2 was the ability to play as Mickey on the rare occasion that Sora falls in battle.

Don't go expecting to use Flowmotion here, folks.
