Riku (リク) is one of the main characters of the KINGDOM HEARTS series. He appears in his Dark Mode form in McLeodGaming's Flash cartoon series, A Super Mario World, and he also appears in his base form in Super Smash Flash 2.
Character description
Riku is a young boy who lives on Destiny Islands with his best friends, Sora and Kairi, and all three of them dream of venturing from Destiny Islands to find out what lies beyond. He is five years old during KINGDOM HEARTS: Birth by Sleep, fifteen during the events of KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS: Chain of Memories, sixteen during the events of KINGDOM HEARTS: 358/2 Days and KINGDOM HEARTS II, and seventeen during the events of KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
In A Super Mario World
Riku appears as the true antagonist in A Super Mario World. He appears only in his Dark Mode form, Dark Riku, but he is referred to simply as Riku. In the second episode, after Mario and Link escape the castle with Princess Zelda, Cloud Strife prepares to fight the greater foe that Bowser had warned them about before being killed. Riku is then suddenly revealed to be the mastermind behind everything. Cloud is at first disappointed (as he thought the foe was Sephiroth), but they still engage in a fight to the death that continues in the final episode. He ultimately defeated when he and Cloud deliver their final blows at the same time, but only Riku is affected by it, and he crumbles into bloody pieces.
In the Super Smash Flash series
In Super Smash Flash 2
As an Assist Trophy
Riku appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Flash 2, where his design is based on his main appearance in KINGDOM HEARTS II and he wields the Way to the Dawn. When summoned, he jumps into the air and says "I'll take 'em!" before landing. He then jumps up and and spins toward a nearby opponent and then back, grunting and shouting "Out of my way!" while delivering two large circling slashes each time he spins. Opponents hit by his slashes are dealt 8% damage and moderate knockback each hit. After traveling forward and back four times, Riku will pose and say "Is that all you've got?" before disappearing.
As a playable character

Riku was previously planned to appear as a playable character in Super Smash Flash 2 as part of the initial roster for the game. However, following the release of v0.7 of the SSF2 Demo, the developers revamped the whole roster in order to accommodate some new, unexpected characters. Word about Riku remained a mystery until May 4, 2019, when Riku was officially revealed as an Assist Trophy, confirming that he would not appear as a playable character.
