The next section contains spoilers.

New Beginings
After Sora, Donald and Goofy chase Pluto until they lose track of him find a castle in the distance and go inside. When they are inside they are met by a mysterious figure in a long black cloak and hood. The Man in Black tells Sora that this castle is called Castle Oblivion and go further into the castle, but un-known to Sora that Castle Oblivion has a darker secret....

Reverse/Rebirth
After the player has beaten Sora's story the player has the chance to unlock Riku's story, which instead of going up floors you go down lower into the castle. Riku wakes up inside Castle Oblivion wondering where he is when a glowing orb hovers around him,this is King Mickey whose power has weakend, He knows he still has the taint of Ansem within him so he goes in further into the castle to stop this taint.The player controls Riku whose attack movments only slightly differ.
 * The player has stronger attacks
 * Riku can jump higher(not by much)
 * Instead of choosing cards from enemies Riku uses a set deck
 * When Riku goes to a new floor he gets a new set deck (Ex: 2nd Floor 25 cards while 4th Floor gets 13 cards.)
 * As a summon (Like Goofy and Donald) the player gets King Mickey who stuns all enemies and re-shuffles the deck.

Gameplay
Unlike the first game every thing from attacking,using magic to operning locked doors require cards. Cards are numbered 0-9,
 * When in battle the higher card wins.
 * When an enemy plays a card and the player plays a higher card this is called a card break(enemy is stunned after break which gives an extra movement).
 * 0 cards seem useless but when played after the opponent plays a card the player will cardbreak the opponents (Ex:Opponent plays 7 card, you play a 0, result in player breaking the opponents card)
 * Card Sleights are when you combine 3 cards to make an all powerful attack, depnding on what your total value is you will preform different slieghts if you have them, the only drawback is that the first card in the slieght dissapears from the battle.

The different cards are(remember that 3 cards make a more powerful attack):
 * Blue cards are summon cards
 * Red cards are normal attack cards
 * Green cards are magic cards
 * Friend Summons are also green but contain the picture of the current floors Hero(such as Aladin in Agrabah. You always have Donald, Goofy, and King Micky(Riku only).
 * Priemium cards are special cards that have a orange number and have a shiney look. They can only be used once in a battle and are better used at the begining of slieghts as the first card dissapeares.
 * Enemy/Boss card are colored Black, Boss cards appear after you have defeated a boss. Enemy cards are the same color but are found rareley and can only be obtained in battles or treasure chests.
