Welcome back to Kingdom Hearts Glitches. Today I'm going to showcase probably the most well known glitch in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, which allows us to freeze the timer during the Hercules Cup Time Trial in the Olympus Coliseum.
So when we talk to Phil and select the Hercules Cup, we can choose to "set a time limit", which allows us to participate in the Time Trial version for that cup. During a Time Trial there will be a timer in the top left hand corner of the screen and if that reaches 0:00:00 before we finish all the rounds, we lose.
Now the Time Trial versions of each cup is much harder that the other versions so most of the time you will need to be at a much higher level to complete them, however when we reach the final round against Hercules during the Hercules Cup Time Trial, we can pause the game and select "restart." This will restart the round but the timer will now be frozen, allowing us to eliminate the time factor. As long as we don't lose to Hercules now, the Time Trial will be complete!!
In this series I aim to compile every Glitch in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. Look out for more episodes in the series & you'll probably see some weird and wonderful things you never knew about.

![Kingdom Hearts Final Mix: Synthesis Guide (Part 1)
Welcome to part 1 of my Synthesis Guide for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. Synthesis is a mechanic in KH Final Mix, which is accessed exclusively through Moogles, who found on the 2nd floor of the accessory shop in Traverse Town. You get access to the Moogle item workshop after activating the Green Trinity Mark on the first floor of the accessory shop. (Learned after sealing Agrabahs keyhole)
Synthesis Guide checklist: [ Feel free to print this, and use it to tick off what you have already collected as you item hunt alongside me :) ]
