Gold Match[edit]
After completing the Hades Cup, a special match will be unlocked against the Ice Titan. Note that this is only available in the North American, European, and Final Mix versions of the game. Firstly, it's best to have Curaga and Firaga in your shortcut for easy access to these moves - they're likely the ones you'll need most. Use Dodge Roll to evade his attacks and jump onto the stands to get a better view of his head. Lock-on to his head and attack it with Firaga. For defeating him, you get 5000 EXP and the Diamond Dust keyblade exclusively in Final Mix.
Platinum Match[edit]
After beating all other cups and locking the Hollow Bastion keyhole, the Platinum Match will become available. Like the Gold Match, it is only available in the North American, European, and Final Mix versions of the game. The Platinum Match pits Sora in a battle against the antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth. Give Sora the Strike Raid, Second Chance, and MP Rage abilities, as those can be essential to winning the battle. Use Dodge Roll as much as possible to evade Sephiroth's attacks. To win this battle, it's best to be above Level 55. Winning the battle will get you 18000 EXP and, in Final Mix exclusively, the One-Winged Angel keyblade and Ansem's Report 12.
