The Worlds

Twilight Town

A town nestled in the crevasse between light and darkness; a world eternally cloaked in twilight. It's a quiet little burg, bustling with city life. Hayner, Pence, and Olette call this place home, and have even roped off a small alley as their "usual spot" to hang out. No town can hide all its mysteries, however: out the back end of town, through a small forest, a menacing abandoned mansion lies in wait. What could this mysterious place have to do with Sora and Organization XIII? What's more...why can't Sora shake the feeling that he knows this town, despite the fact he's never been there before?

Hollow Bastion
a.k.a. Radiant Garden

Hollow Bastion has changed quite a bit since Sora's last adventure. Once the darkness was cleared away, the citizens of the world began to slowly return, populating the abandoned town surrounding the castle. It is here that the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee (Leon, Aerith, Yuffie, Cid, and Merlin) are working tirelessly to restore the world to its former splendor. With the help of the Keyblade Master, they even slowly begin to remember its former name: Radiant Garden. However, there are more mysteries to be discovered here...such as Ansem's research lab and his Heartless manufactory! What questions will be answered about the long-lost villain?

Land of Dragons
Mulan

The land of Ancient China is under attack by the vicious Hun Army. In the midst of the Imperial preparation for the war, a young...man?...enlists with the name of Ping, but Captain Li Shang is not convinced that this tentative warrior has what it takes. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive to find that Ping is in fact Mulan, a young woman trying to protect her father and prove her worth, they enlist along with her. Along with trusty guardian sidekick Mushu, the four follow the army deep into the mountains and finally to the Imperial City. However, what influence have the Heartless had on the Hun leader, Shan Yu? Can Mulan prove her worth against adversity?

Beast's Castle
Beauty and the Beast

Sora and co. stumble upon the homeworld of their former comrade, the Beast, but are given a most unexpected welcome. The Beast doesn't remember any of them, and all his thoughts seem to be centered on protecting his precious Enchanted Rose, a talisman that is somehow tied to his current beastly state. Belle, a Princess of Heart, as well as the transformed castle staff implore Sora and his friends to help return the Beast to his old self. However, something more is at stake here...has Organization XIII been interfering with the world order? Why is the Beast being manipulated by the powers of darkness?

Olympus Coliseum/The Underworld
Hercules

Hercules is at his peak: every day in the Coliseum, life-or-death tournaments are thrown at him from all directions, and every foe is felled. But the question remains: is the Lord of the Dead, Hades, to blame for this endless torrent of enemies against the godlike hero? Sora, Donald, and Goofy venture into the Underworld to investigate, where they find Hades once again hiring a mercenary to take down "Wonderboy"...Auron, a fierce warrior who is already dead! But Auron's not interested in making Hades a part of his story, and joins Sora and friends in a quest to return the Olympus Stone to its rightful place. What's more, who is Megara, the sarcastic young woman who seems to be torn between this world and the Underworld?

Disney Castle

Guided by Queen Minnie's fervent prayer, Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive on home turf: King Mickey's kingdom, Disney Castle. For the first time in the world's history, the Heartless are invading, and Queen Minnie and Lady Daisy are powerless to stop it! What's more, the sacred Cornerstone of Light in a hidden chamber beneath the castle has been besieged by a mysterious thicket of black thorns. Could it really be that Maleficent is back to wreak havoc on the worlds and seek vengeance for her fall from power? The key to it all could be hidden in the most unlikely of places: Disney Castle's past!

Timeless River
Steamboat Willie

The entirely black-and-white world of Timeless River does not, in fact, truly exist. It is actually a timewarp to Disney Castle's past, back before the kingdom was built and alliances forged with other worlds. Sora, Donald, and Goofy (taking on this old world's appearance) travel back in time to prevent the Cornerstone of Light from being stolen from the past to wreak havoc on Disney Castle's future. However, something strange is at stake here...King Mickey is quite, well, different, and the menacing Pete is not quite so dangerous as he is in the present. Can Sora and co. save the world before it throws the present into a dangerous alternate universe where darkness prevails?

Port Royal
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

The seas of the British Caribbean are alive with mythical creatures, legends-come-true, and swashbuckling pirates who rule their plundered waters. Captain Jack Sparrow, whose crew turned mutinous and left him for dead more than a decade ago, has reluctantly joined forces with a blacksmith apprentice named Will Turner to rescue his "bonnie lass", Elizabeth Swann. However, Jack's crew has been taken over by the terrifying curse of the Aztec gold they unwittingly frittered away, and use the Black Pearl to plunder the seas and be rid of their suffering. Sora, Donald, and Goofy join in the wild goose chase across the Caribbean seas to the Isla de Muerta, where they fear Elizabeth's blood may be spilled to end the curse. But what is Captain Barbossa doing conspiring with Pete and the Heartless?

Agrabah
Aladdin

It turns out that the Genie's previous resolution to the world's problems have been torn asunder...Jafar has a means to return, and if Aladdin doesn't do something, the powerful vizier could make a comeback and wreak his vengeance on all of Agrabah! Sora, Donald, and Goofy stumble upon Iago, Jafar's loyal talking parrot, who's carrying the black lamp around with the ever-present danger of Jafar's escape following him. But is Iago just as bad as he seems, or has Jafar's reign of evil gotten the sarcastic bird to change sides? Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Sora and co. must find a way to keep Jafar from coming back before it's too late.

Halloweentown/Christmas Town
The Nightmare Before Christmas

Jack Skellington's scheming has gotten even more bizarre than ever. The Pumpkin King has decided he's bored with Halloween, and when he stumbles upon Christmas Town by chance, he decides he wants to give "Sandy Claws" a hand with his jolly work! With a new outfit sewn by his lady friend Sally, a ghastly imitation of a sleigh with skeleton reindeer, and a collection of frightful gifts, Jack embarks on a "selfless" mission to help spread Halloween cheer to children on Christmas morning. Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive to find Heartless not only menacing the macabre world of Halloweentown, but also threatening to encroach on Christmas as well!

Sora embarks on a journey through the wood to meet old friends and remind Pooh of his old self.

Space Paranoids
Tron

When Donald presses one key too many in Ansem's computer lab in Hollow Bastion, the trio are placed under arrest and transported inside the philosopher's research computer.
