Been wanting to upload a simple video like this for a while. An extremely common question I get during streams is "What does (insert Summon here) do?". Now we have a video reference explaining it. Summons are incredibly underrated not just in KH1, but in KH2 as well. They can greatly assist you in fights you may struggle with, especially in Crit or LV1 Crit playthoughs.

I think the only important info I missed in the vid is that you cannot Summon if you don't have party members, with the exception being Xigbar you just cannot Summon.

    I feel like an idiot for using summons for their limits.....

    Genie: "I can't kill anyone. So don't ask." Also Genie: photon blasts nobodies

    Personally, Stitch is the best summon. He's a big help in fights like Terra/Lingering Will and both Demyx's (normal and data version). The only disadvantage is that he trolls with you a lot.

    I believe you forgot to mention that Chicken Little throws potions on Sora when low on HP, just like Genie does. This is on top of the small healing received for every hit scored on an enemy.

    It's also worth noting that Tink's Auto-Life will not trigger on Olympus Cups. Found that out the hard way on Crit Hades Paradox.

    Summons in this game are super underrated! Stitch helped me beat Larxene at lv1!

    I'll be honest, they really do poorly express to the player just what the summons do. Testing each of them out in my first playthrough years ago I've never really noticed any of these useful abilities. Chicken Little felt like a gimmick that was only there just because, Stitch did little overall except maybe launch and attack or stun everyone every now and then - though I found him useful in the underworld cups sometimes - and Peter Pan did little or nothing at all. The only one I valued was Genie since he could put out reliable damage to a group of enemies and was pretty easy to understand. I wish I knew each of the other summons had such utility, and wasn't about the damage output. I probably would have used them far more often than reserving the drive gauge for drive forms, which I had little understanding of their unique abilities anyways. Thanks for the video, it really helped a lot.

    This game is so nearly perfect. Even 10 years after I get this game for the first time, I still discover new things. :)

    7:07 Has anyone else noticed Stitch heals you 1 HP per drive bar?
  • @KeybladeBrett
    Thanks for this video, I watched it back when it was brand new, and this is REALLY helpful for my first KH2 Level 1 playthrough.
  • @MartenDE
    8 years. I have played this game since 2009 and still I learned things I never ever knew. It doesn't help that there seems to be no in-game way to look up this information. Thanks Bizkit!
  • @haziq12ish
    i've been waiting for someone to do this, its perfect, definitely subscribing
  • Hi Bizkit! I use your KH2FM lvl 1 speed run for my Critical speedrun. Thanks for the tips and techniques! You make it look so easy :)
  • While summons are underrated, I feel like stuff like Drive Forms and Limits are just better in most scenarios, which is why they mostly get thrown to the wayside
  • Stitch is the main reason I bought Kingdom Hearts 2 he was especially helpful during Demyx's boss fight after numerous attempts with just Donald and Goofy. I so hated Demyx's water forms but using Stitch twice during the battle he helped me pull through
  • I don't know if this is correct or not, because i only just noticed it in this video, but when you said that Stitch can very slowly heal you over the course of time, by the looks of it you get a little bit of HP every time the summon bar goes down, which is probably why it seems so rare, cause whenever you use him, you continuously keep the summon bar up.
