Kingdom Hearts has changed a lot over the years, but if there is one thing that has continuously happened throughout the games, it’s that the main characters have visited different worlds. In the first installment of the series, players were able to explore worlds based on classic Disney films, such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Alice in Wonderland as well as ones that were made for the title.
In this first game, Sora, Donald, and Goofy fought against the heartless in these worlds while looking for their friends. Sora also needed to save the worlds by finding each one’s keyhole and locking them. Out of the playable worlds, these are the ones that fans have enjoyed from the worst to the best.
14 Atlantica
Atlantica is based on The Little Mermaid and is one of the last Disney worlds that players can visit, though they don’t need to go there in order to beat the game. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive their, they transform into sea creatures and befriend Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian. After she gets into a fight with her father, Ariel was manipulated by Ursula, who the heroes had to defeat. Players didn’t enjoy this world due to how easy it was to get lost in it as well as having to fight heartless under the sea.
13 Monstro
Though not technically a world, Pinocchio‘s Monstro the whale is considered to be one as Sora, Donald, and Goofy were swallowed by him and explored his insides. Inside of Monstro, Jiminy Cricket, who had been traveling with the main trio, found Pinocchio and Geppetto. However, their happy reunion was cut short as Riku also found them a kidnapped the puppet. Luckily, Sora and his friends were able to save Pinocchio and escape the whale. Like Atlantica, Monstro’s level design felt like a maze, frustrating players as they explored each area.
12 100 Acre Wood
Worlds can be found anywhere, from inside of animals to children’s books. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy met Merlin, players were able to go inside of his book, based on the Winnie the Pooh movies. Sora met Pooh and helped him find his friends throughout several optional minigames. When players wanted to take a break from fighting enemies and progressing through the main story, this was a great, peaceful experience that many fans enjoyed.
11 Dive To The Heart
Dive To The Heart is the first area that players explore, serving as a short tutorial level. Throughout the first few minutes of the game, players can make a few decisions that impact their experience as they learn how to fight the heartless. It was a great introduction to the title, setting players up for the journey ahead of them.
10 Neverland
Based on Peter Pan, Sora, Donald, and Goofy met Peter Pan and Tinkerbell inside of Captain Hook’s pirate ship. The antagonist of the film worked with Riku to capture their enemies.
However, when Sora learned how to fly, he and his friends were able to defeat them. Unfortunately, players were only able to go to Captain Hook’s ship or Big Ben, rather than exploring the entire setting of the movie.
9 Deep Jungle
Deep Jungle was based on Tarzan and only appeared in the first installment of the series. After Sora and Donald got into an argument and almost went their separate ways, they met the characters from the movie and had to team up again in order to save the gorillas from Clayton. Most players didn’t like this world due to the need to go from one side of it all the way to the other multiple times.
8 Halloween Town
Halloween Town is from The Nightmare Before Christmas. However, Sora, Donald, and Goofy only got to experience the Halloween side of this world as Santa and Christmas Town wasn’t shown. Instead of taking over a holiday that isn’t his, Jack, the Pumpkin King, wanted to make a heart for the heartless to dance. However, after Sora, Donald, and Goofy help him find what they need to make the heart, Lock, Shock, and Barrel take it, causing the heroes to fight against them and the Oogie Boogie.
7 Destiny Islands
Destiny Islands is an original, simple and clean world that was Sora, Riku, and Kairi’s home. Players were only able to see one of the world’s islands and didn’t get to do much on it. Sora raced and fought against Riku, as well as Final Fantasy characters, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie as he found food and supplies that he needed for the raft he intended to travel on with his friends. Destiny Islands was invaded by the heartless in the beginning of the game, causing Sora to be separated from his friends.
6 Wonderland
As indicated by it’s name, this world is from Alice in Wonderland and is one of the first worlds that Sora, Donald, and Goofy visited. There, they tried to save Alice from the Queen of Hearts, searching for evidence to prove she was being held guilty for the heartless’ actions. However, Alice disappeared and the trio had to leave the world.
5 End Of The World
End of the World is, obviously, the last world in the game. Players get to fight a lot of difficult enemies and bosses there as they make their way towards Ansem, the game’s final boss.
As this world is also connected to others, players get to see all the worlds that they visited one last time, ending with a corrupted Destiny Islands. After Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeated Ansem, they closed the Door to Darkness with Riku and Mickey, bringing all of the other worlds back to the Realm of Light.
4 Agrabah
Based on Aladdin, Sora, Donald, and Goofy teamed up with Genie and Aladdin. They hoped to save Jasmine from Jafar. Though they were able to defeat the world’s villain, Jasmine was kidnapped. Agrabah is one of the most beloved worlds in the game, appearing in other installments throughout the franchise more than most of the others.
3 Traverse Town
Traverse Town was the world that Sora, Donald, and Goofy visited the most, at least in the main story. This was also where the trio first met each other as well as comrades originally from the Final Fantasy games. When Sora arrived there from Destiny Islands, he met Leon, Yuffie, and Cid, while Aerith found Donald and Goofy. They introduced the three to each other and helped them throughout the game by giving them munny and working on the Gummi Ship.
2 Olympus Coliseum
While Traverse Town is the world that players return to the most throughout the main story, Olympus Coliseum gives players a lot of optional boss battles to fight. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy first got there, they entered the games, where they fought against Cloud from Final Fantasy VII and Cerberus from Hercules. After they left and progressed through the story, other tournaments would be playable, allowing players to level up and unlock new weapons. They were able to fight two of the titans, Hades, and Sephiroth.
1 Hollow Bastion
Hollow Bastion is one of the most important worlds in the entire franchise, serving as the original home to many of the original and Final Fantasy characters. However, in the first game, it served as Maleficent and the other Disney villains’ headquarters. Players were able to fight Riku a couple of times, as well as Maleficent. As they explored the worlds, they learned a lot that they hadn’t known before, such as Kairi being a princess and Ansem being a villain, changing their perspective on a lot of the game’s events and leaving a greater impression on fans than the other worlds did.
