📋 About This Mod
The main file includes animation speed increases, and a second file contains changes to various movement values.
A menu can be opened by pressing the letter O key, to change various movement variables. To close it, simply click on the screen away from the menu and press O again.
The value changes are loaded through Sora's Idle animation, any mod that overwrites this will negate those changes.
Changing animations can be a lot of work, there are hundreds of files being changed!
Place in "\KINGDOM HEARTS III\Content\Paks\~mods\".
Now compatible with the ModLoader using the name ImprovedMovement. This is optional, and the mod still works standalone.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- High endorsement-to-download ratio (1,415 endorsements) shows strong community approval.
- Mod menu gives you direct control over movement values, so you can fine-tune to your liking.
- Targets a common complaint—clunky movement—making the game feel snappier.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or other mods.
- Limited to animation speed tweaks—doesn't address other movement aspects like physics or camera.
- Requires learning the mod menu hotkey (O) and understanding the values to avoid over-tuning.
This is for Kingdom Hearts players who find Sora's default movement sluggish and want a more responsive feel. It's also great for speedrunners or anyone who wants to customize their gameplay experience with a simple in-game menu.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Open the mod menu with the O key to adjust values—start with small changes to avoid making movement too twitchy.
- Test the changes in a safe area like Traverse Town to get a feel for the new speeds before diving into combat.
- If you're using other gameplay mods, check for conflicts since this mod changes core animation timings.
