With there being so many Kingdom Hearts games there has certainly been a lot of Disney worlds throughout the series, but I’m curious what does everyone think are the top 5 Disney worlds are and which ones are the worst. In my opinion this would be my list.
Best worlds
1) Halloween town ( KH2) - As a big fan of the Nightmare before Christmas movie I was very excited to see this world make an appearance. Between the awesome instrumental of This is Halloween, the Halloween themed heartless and getting to visit both Halloween and Christmas town. I also really enjoyed seeing the contrast between the two parts of the world both successfully giving of a different atmosphere while managing to look nice.
2) Pride Lands - Being one of my favourite Disney movies this was another world I was happy to see in game. I enjoyed finally having a chance to visit Simba’s world after him being a summon in previous games. I loved the world transformation ( lion cub Sora is definitely the cutest world transformation in the series). I thought the running mechanics and the way Sora used his Keyblade in that world was cool, the world and boss fight were really good as well definitely an enjoyable boss fight.
3) Toy Box - I really enjoyed the fact that this world looked so much like the movie and how good everything in the world looked. It was definitely one of the most fun worlds to explore in KH3 and i really liked the design of the heartless doll boss, plus seeing Woody roast Young Xehanort was just funny.
4) Beast Castle (KH2) - Another world that I enjoyed exploring the areas from the movie. The story was interesting. The heartless boss from the first visit was a fun fight and definitely has one of my favourite reaction commands in the game. As for the second visit the boss fight was a good challenge I definitely needed Mickey‘s help for that fight. Getting to see Belle Elbow Xaldin and steal the rose back was funny plus I enjoyed how the world ended once you completed it.
5) Timeless River. I liked the concept of this world and I think it it was a nice reference to part of Mickey’s past. I liked the visual of this world and how it felt so upbeat. This world is lower of the list because it was mostly small mini games boss fights for the most part but they were still fun. Although one thing I dislike about the world is the hot rod heartless those cars are just annoying to fight, although I couldn’t help but laugh at the Pete vs Pete fight.
Worst worlds
1) The Grid - I honestly couldn’t choose between this or Space Paranoids as i dislike both equally the only reason I picked The Grid is simply because I had to do the world twice. I just don’t like any of the Tron worlds in this series they are honestly quite boring and everything just looks pretty much the same to me and the light cycle mini games are annoying.
2) Monstro- A mixture between the KH 1 mechanics, the platforming and just how easy it is to get lost and keep ending back in the same room just made this world not fun for me in the slightest.
3) Wonderland - Couldn’t decide whether to put this or La cite des Cloches as I’m not a fan of either. However the reason I choose Wonderland is there was just a lot more things that annoyed me about this world for example having to give the plants your items to progress searching for clues and the TrickMaster who is annoying to fight due to mechanics and I hate that I have to keep fighting this boss several times throughout the series.
4) Pirates of the Caribbean (KH3) - I‘ll admit this world looks nice however I find it boring and tedious and the story a bit of a mess, plus the boat race with Luxord and the boss fight is not fun in my opinion.
5) 100 Acre woods ( KH3) - Given how much I liked 100 Acre woods in KH2, I thought it was a nice idea when the world was first shown in the trailer. However once the world released and I actually played it I was disappointed, honestly there was no effort put into this world it almost like they completely forgot about it until the last minute, any other world would of been a better alternative than the world we got.
