10 WORST Mini Games Absolutely Crucial To Complete The Game

4. The Gummi Ship - Kingdom Hearts

Square Enix sure knows how to throw a stamina-draining mini-game into an otherwise terrific RPG, huh?

Kingdom Hearts is a fantastic game, no question, but fans largely agree that the big lowlight is the whole Gummi Ship mini-game.

Players must use the ship to travel between the game's worlds, at which point Kingdom Hearts temporarily transforms into a mediocre rail shooter, as you're tasked with avoiding obstacles and blowing up enemy ships.

Even with the ability to eventually upgrade your ship with time-saving warp tech, the ship is a clunky "necessity" without which players can't move between worlds. Though the sequels sadly didn't remove the mini-game entirely, they certainly made it decidedly more tolerable.
