Clear game data from other Kingdom Hearts games.

Depending on which version of Re: Chain of Memories is being played, having clear data from other Kingdom Hearts games will unlock bonuses in the game.

As the game was originally bundled with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, in the Japanese version of Re: Chain of Memories, if players have clear data from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it will unlock cards based on Organization XIII members that aren't introduced until Kingdom Hearts II.
As Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix was not released outside of Japan, in the North American version of Re: Chain of Memories, the cards unlocked by having clear data from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix were changed to being unlocked by just completing Re: Chain of Memories.
Re: Chain of Memories (along with Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) is included in Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix for Playstation 3. By having watched all the cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, in this version of Re: Chain of Memories, cards based on 358/2 Days will be unlocked. Using the Key to Reward in certain worlds, cards based on keyblades used in 358/2 Days (Specifically the Total Eclipse, Midnight Roar, Maverick Flare, & Two Become One keyblades.)

Notes
