Storyline

Edit

Did you know

Edit

Trivia
Stitch was included because a survey said that Stitch was the second favorite Disney character in Japan.

Goofs
When Roxas sees Sora's memories in his dreams, he also sees scenes that Sora never witnessed, such as Jafar's line "The boy is a problem; he found one of the Keyholes" which was at Maleficent's council in Hollow Bastion. Sora was never present to hear Jafar say this line.

Quotes
Axel: [to Sora, about Roxas] He was the only one I liked. He made me feel... like I had a heart.

Crazy credits
After the credits are finished you see Sora, and Riku at their old hang out on Destiny Islands talking about how a whole lot has not changed. Then Kairi comes running with a bottle in her hand that has a note contained inside it. The note is from the king which is insinuating that he is asking for their help.

Alternate versions
While playing the Atlantica Rhythm mini-games in the Japanese version, the O button is used as a rhythm trigger a majority of the time. In the English version it's replaced with the X button.

Connections
Edited from The Lion King (1994)

A magical masterpiece presented to us by Disney Square Enix

The game series Kingdom Hearts reshaped my thoughts on video games. Prior to playing the first game, I had not given much interest toward the medium... However after playing the first game several years ago and inserting myself into the fandom I found out there was a second game released. I played through this game with my mind continuously being blown by a wide array of characters, worlds, and the seamless transition of anime and American animation. This game manages to appeal to all ages while staying clean enough that anyone of any age could play it, the difficulty is well balanced with there being a comfortable setting for any level of skill, and the music is hands down some of the best in video game history. In short buy it for yourself, share it with your children, and make sure to check out the other games in the series.
