'''Monstro''' is both a character and "world" in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', making him one of the most peculiar characters in the series so far.

Monstro later reappears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'' as an optional boss in the [[Monster of the Deep]] battle in the [[Mirage Arena]], and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' with his homeworld, [[Prankster's Paradise]]. In the latter, his inside is playable again.

[[Sora]] and his party enter through '''Monstro: Mouth''', the largest room in the world. Here, among the piles of wood and shipwrecks, the party will come across [[Geppetto]] and [[Pinocchio]], as well as the world's [[Save Point]]. Troublesome Pinocchio leads the party down the into the whale's innards. '''Monstro: Chamber 1''' is the arrival point for the party here. The lowest door leads to a dead-end at '''Monstro: Chamber 3''', marked by a large piece of debris blocking off the other lowest exit. The door on the ledge of Chamber 1 will take the party to '''Monstro: Chamber 2''', which leads to Chamber 3 going down, and to '''Monstro: Chamber 5''' going up. '''Monstro: Chamber 6''', which comes soon after, stands out because it is formed like a set of stairs. Chamber 5 will also send the party to '''Monstro: Chamber 4''', from which the '''Monstro: Bowels''' and the first battle with the Parasite Cage can be found, as well as a Save Point.

Returning to the Mouth and using [[High Jump]], given by Geppetto, the party can at last reach the '''Monstro: Throat''', a tall, pink chamber with a series of ledges to ascend. At the top, the party can reach the '''Monstro: Stomach''' and the second boss battle against the Parasite Cage.

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', there are extensions coming out of the floor which can be hit or jumped on to gain items. There are also extensions from the walls which can cause damage to Sora or Riku if approached; these can be hit to gain HP orbs.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy chase the two through the whale, until they eventually finds them in a large circular chamber: the bowels of the beast. Pinocchio is taken captive inside the [[Parasite Cage]] [[Heartless]]. Sora and Riku team up to take down the Heartless, but are unable to completely destroy it. Riku takes Pinocchio; his words hint to Sora that there is something different about his old friend. Sora tracks the puppet to the Stomach, where Riku and the Heartless attempt to take Pinocchio's heart, but fail. Riku flees as Sora enters the belly of the beast where he defeats the Parasite Cage once and for all and rescues Pinocchio.

===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===

Sora, Donald, and Goofy visit a recreation of Monstro in Castle Oblivion.  There, the events of Sora's first visit to Monstro are re-enacted, minus [[Riku]]'s involvement in the events that transpired. Both the chase for Pinocchio and the puppet's reunion with Jiminy are very similar. The party again fights the Parasite Cage, though only once this time.  Pinocchio is told to be brave, his struggles eventually getting him out of the Heartless's maw-like belly. Sora, Donald, and Goofy also fight with several Shadow Heartless ensues in order to make Monstro spit out Pinocchio and Geppetto, as per the puppet's suggestion that a big enough struggle would cause the whale to sneeze.

Monstro swallows Pinocchio and Jiminy. Riku meets Geppetto and goes off looking for the boy.

'''Note''': After rescuing Kairi from Hollow Bastion, Monstro will begin collecting sets of Heartless from every world except Atlantica, Hollow Bastion, and End of the World. Each time Monstro is entered at this point, it will have its normal set of Heartless, as well as the Heartless set of a different world. The auxiliary set will change each time Monstro is re-entered.
