Summary
AKingdom Heartsjourney is not an easy task. Traveling betweenexpressive Disney worldsto eliminate hostile factions like the heartless, nobodies, and unversed is tiresome enough. Some friendly allies also fall into some unique scenarios like kidnapping, abuse of power, invasion, manipulative tricks, money, or boredom. These problems aren’t always solved by just swinging the key, but rather through more creative means.
Kingdom Heartsintroduces various mini-games that range from competitions, racing, or timed challenges. A lot of the games are fun in their own way, but the most ideal ones have larger memorable worth and replayability.
11Fruitball
Sweet Sport
Fruitball is a unique game attraction that takes place within Disney Town. Itplays like volleyballas fruits bounce around on stage for the participants to spike to the moving goal. It’s so engaging that even the unversed are willing to take over the court and play by the rules.
Not all opponents play the same as they have preferred shooting techniques like Chip and Dale using teamwork to set up fruits for powerful shots. It gets pretty chaotic as different fruits appear in a match like a bunch of grapes that break off into individual fruits after an attack.
10Flantastic Seven
Treating A Challenge
The Flantastic Seven are special harmless heartless that visit multiple worlds. They don’t bother anyone unless approached to accomplish their specific tasks with certain requirements like balancing, timing, and reaction.
The most fun flan would is the Orange Flan since it encourages analyzing and timing. It’s very different compared to other flan heartless since Sora has to explore for hidden flans in the Corona Kingdom Hills beforepicturing the right posesfor points. Since there’s no time limit, there’s plenty of time to study the most ideal camera shots for greater points.
9Poster Duty
Advertising
Poster Duty is an odd job that Roxas can apply within Twilight Town. How the job is completed depends on the player’s preferred route. It takes studying the Tram Common area and figuring out the quickest route to hang the posters. It isn’t the hardest task since it gives Roxas a ton of space and routes for job completion, though it does take longer than other odd jobs.
When Sora gets the chance for the job, his aerial abilities can greatly improve his time like gliding. His improved aerials also help him reach higher elevations more easily.
8Mushroom XIII
Heartless Cosplayers
Mushroom XIII are unique enemies who cosplay as their favoriteOrganization XIII membersin different worlds. Unlike the nobodies, combat isn’t the only solution to take them down. They use their powers in relation to their inspiring hero to provide more challenges through strategy and reaction.
The most fun Mushroom is No. 1 since it requires stricter timing for the right reaction command to catch him off guard. It’s similar to the Xemnas fight which rewarded Sora for not mashing the reaction command when they clash on the building. It’s also very amusing to see an enemy use the game mechanics against the protagonist.
7Jungle Slider
Way Of The Jungle
Jungle Slider is the most immersive game that makes the world of Tarzan come to life. It allows Sora to use Tarzan’s iconic traversalthrough the jungleby sliding through tree branches to collect fruit.
Sora doesn’t slide alone as Tarzan joins to assist his island friend on the wild traversal. Of course, going through the jungle isn’t very safe as it involves some obstacles and forkroad pathways. It has decent replayability with its multiple courses and speedrun timer.
6Light Cycle
Digital Ride
Light Cycle is an on-rails race in Space Paranoids that makes the userdrive lightspeed cyclesand survive the onslaught of foes on the track. Despite Sora being forced to participate, the action and music help make the challenge more enjoyable. It requires reacting to the shapeshifting track while beating the racing heartless with the keyblade or cycle bike.
Not only was Sora forced to play in his main quest, but Riku as well inKingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. His race felt more like a light cycle match since he could use the bike’s light trails to damage his targets, encouraging him to stay ahead on the track.
5Grandstander
Entertaining The Crowd
Grandstander is one of several odd job that Roxas used to earn money for his summer trip. He must entertain the audience by juggling the ball in the air without letting it touch the ground. How the ball stays in the air depends on the player’s timing with aerials and positioning.
It also feels good when Sora takes on the job himself later in the story. His unlocked skills andkeyblades that lengthen aerial combosmake the job much easier while being a makeshift training ground to practice juggling strategies.
4Atlantica
Musical World
Atlantica introduces familiar songs fromThe Little MermaidlikePart Of Your Worldto original pieces likeSwim This Way. They require simple button presses at the right beat or else some characters miss their right cues and lose points. The world saves its best song for last, which isA New Day is Dawning.
After beating Ursula and meeting the final requirements, it uses every button prompt from previous songs like Ursala’s mashing prompt and Sebastian’s interruption prompt. Every underwater ally participates in the final song, making it an fitting finale for the world.
3Flash Tracer
Heroic Course
Flash Tracer is a special course run that tests Sora’s traversal skills. The objective is simple: follow through trails of holographic rings scattered through San Fransokyo. This requires him to run on walls, grind on rails, and use flowmotion techniques to complete each course quickly. This challenge greatly emphasizes the expansive freedom of this particular world.
Not only is this helpful for Sora, but for theBig Hero 6 teamas well as they train to take on the strong heartless. His magical techniques help to influence the team with improved strategies to enhance their heroic prowess.
2Hunny Slider
Sweet Race
Hunny Slider is one of Winnie the Pooh’s favorite games since it results in acquiring his favorite food. After running out of honey, Sora thinks the quickest way to quell the bear’s hunger is to ride a pot of honey through Hundred Acres Woods.
The gameplay is very standard since Sora follows an on-rails course, though the changing environments and honey gathering make the experience more enjoyable. Sora doesn’t just only explore the woods for the bear, but all over the book. Pooh’s hunger is a serious issue, making it necessary to break the fourth wall to get his food.
