Editing Traverse Town

{{cleanup|story section needs to be rewritten to be in-universe. In particular, when they only show flashbacks, place the remembered event in chronological order, then give a quick "flashed back to x event" in the game's section.}}

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Second District}}'''|2番街|Niban Gai}} is infested with a variety of Heartless. It includes the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gizmo Shop}}'''|からくり部屋|Karakuri Heya|lit. "Mechanism Room"}}, on whose roof a bell is eventually rung three times in order to reveal the world's Keyhole. Also present is the '''{{a|Dalmatians' House}}''', where [[Pongo]] and [[Perdita]] have settled due to the destruction of their world. The house consists of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dalmatians' Den}}'''|子犬たちの私室|Koinu-tachi no Shishitsu|lit. "Puppies' Den"}}, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Living Room}}'''|子犬たちの居間|Koinu-tachi no Ima|lit. "Puppies' Living Room"}}, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dining Room}}'''|子犬たちの食堂|Koinu-tachi no Shokudō|lit. "Puppies' Dining Hall"}}, and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Piano Room}}'''|子犬たちの客間|Koinu-tachi no Kyakuma|lit. "Puppies' Parlor"}}. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hotel}}'''|宿屋|Yadoya|lit. "Inn"}} is on the west side of the district and is often invaded by Heartless, but can be entered through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hallway}}'''|廊下|Rōka}}; in addition, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Red Room}}'''|赤の間|Aka no Ma}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Green Room}}'''|緑の間|Midori no Ma}} are located within the Hotel, where Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] are briefed by Leon and Aerith. The east side of town includes the entrance to the Third District, as well as a set of roofs that can be climbed to reach treasures and a hidden entrance to a balcony in the Third District. At the back of the Hotel lies the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Alleyway}}'''|2番街：路地裏|Niban Gai: Rojiura|lit. "Second District: Back Alley"}}; it has passages to the Dalmatians' House and the First District, and its drainage pipes lead to the Secret Waterway.

At [[Castle Oblivion]], a version of Traverse Town is constructed based of off Sora's memories. The world can be explored through boxed-in areas resembling the original town, drawing heavy inspiration from the First District and Third District. In cutscenes, areas such as the '''Third District''', '''Vacant House''', and the '''Second District''' are visited, with the Third District being used for a tutorial battle against Leon, and the Second District also serving as a boss arena. In the original ''Chain of Memories'', a mix of both districts serves as the boss arena instead.

 

At the start of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Second District}}'''|2番街|2-ban Gai}} there's another save point and a [[Moogle Shop]] opposite it. The area is mostly the same as it was in the first game, but the three pillars atop of the gizmo shop are now missing. Down by the fountain there's a door which serves as the only entry point for the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Alleyway}}'''|路地裏|Rojiura|lit. "Back Alley"}}. There, two new ladders has been added to the area on opposite sides of the map, both leading to several Bug Blox that can be platformed. A third save point is found near the Alleyway's exit. To the east side of the Second District is the entrance to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Third District}}'''|3番街|3-ban Gai}}. Down the stairs by the entrance is a second Moogle Shop, and other than that the area remains unchanged and still leads back to the First District.

A bugged version of the Second District temporally appears during the visit. It differs from the usual version with the gizmo shop being mostly covered with the Bug Blox pattern, as well as several of its walls spinning in circles. Shortly after the Second District has been fixed, the world's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyhole}}'''|鍵穴|Kagiana}} becomes accessible, containing four two-dimensional and linear areas named {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyhole / 1st District|1st District}}'''|鍵穴:1番街|Kagiana: 1-ban Gai}}, {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyhole / 2nd District|2nd District}}'''|鍵穴:2番街|Kagiana: 2-ban Gai}}, {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyhole / 3rd District|3rd District}}'''|鍵穴:3番街|Kagiana: 3-ban Gai}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyhole / Terminus|Terminus}}'''|鍵穴:最深部|Kagiana: Saishinbu|lit. "Keyhole: Deepest Part"}}.

Across Traverse Town's four areas are a bunch of Bug Blox appearing both on ground and in air. The world also contains six [[System Sector]]s. The two first are found in the First District, one on the large door to the south, and the another on the second-floor door to the accessory shop. Two more are found in the Second District. One on the ground, next to the west wall on the bottom level of the area, and a second one on the northwestern door to the hotel. In the Alleyway one appears on the red door, on the second balcony from the north. And the last one appears on the door with the flame found in the Third District.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Traverse Town has now relocated to the [[Sleeping Worlds]]. Only three areas return, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|First District}}'''|1番街|1-ban Gai}}, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Second District}}'''|2番街|2-ban Gai}}, and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Third District}}'''|3番街|3-ban Gai}}. All three areas have received minor changes. To the west of the First District there is now a new door leading to the Back Streets. On the bottom level of the Second District there are now a couple new lamps near the gizmo shop, and the lamps in the Third District are missing their flags. The broken electric wire has also been removed and replaced by a pile of planks and some crates. Generally, a lot of crates are placed around town blocking previously accessible entrances. There's also an abundance of barrels around town which can be used in combat. For Riku the doorway between the First and Third District is blocked. The Third District also serves as a battle arena for the fight against the Nightmare Bosses summonned by [[Spellican]] for Sora to fight in the second visit.

The aforementioned {{nihongo|'''{{a|Back Streets}}'''|裏通り|Uradōri}} is a twisting mass of streets interconnected by a long series of waterways, and can only be accessed by Riku. At the of the Back Streets is a passage that leads up to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fountain Plaza}}'''|噴水広場|Funsui Hiroba}}. Through a narrow and long alleyway you reach a huge open area wherein a massive eponymous fountain lies. On one of the walls is a huge graffiti taken straight from ''{{w|The World Ends with You}}''. Parallel to the long alleyway is another shorter and wide alleyway leading to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Post Office}}'''|ポストオフィス|Posuto Ofisu}}, a massive area filled with boxes and letters and many contraptions, both animated and still. A circular elevator in a small room of the Post Office leads up to the mailbox in the First District. The Post Office is an area that can only be accessed by Sora. There is in front of the Fountain Plaza a huge manhole cover, beneath which [[Julius]] sleeps. Once the game has been cleared, it is required to take him down once to access the plaza and traverse it. Behind the Fountain Plaza's massive fountain is a door which leads to the Fourth District.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fourth District}}'''|4番街|4-ban Gai}} is a shopping area infested with Dream Eaters. It is largely populated by Moogles, who run both the [[Medal Shop]] and the district's main feature, the [[Flick Rush]] Colosseum. The district also houses the entrance to the Fifth District, which is framed with red and white cubes and has handles shaped like the face of the [[Hockomonkey]]. The district is embellished with many bright lights and decorations such as streamers. It houses multiple shops, including a Dream Eater shop which has a balloon in the shape of a paw hanging outside the door. The largest and most prominent feature within the district is a large tower similar to a lighthouse, to which various streamers are tied.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fifth District}}'''|5番街|5-ban Gai}} lies beyond the door in the Fourth District. The majority of the district is taken up by the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Garden}}'''|植物園|Shokubutsu-en|lit. "Botanical Garden"}}, which is filled with many varieties of plants. The Garden is a large, three-floor greenhouse surrounded by a small waterway that can be entered by crossing a bridge to its front entrance, which holds a sign that reads "Flower & Plant." The surrounding alleys of the district are mainly empty. Those areas also serve as battle arenas for both incarnations of [[Hockomonkey]].

Heartless attack the Hotel, and Leon and Sora take off to fend them off. Before going ahead, Leon tells Sora not to worry about the attacking [[Soldier]] and [[Shadow]] Heartless and to find their leader. As Sora enters the Third District, Donald and Goofy are blown off a balcony above by an attack from a Soldier and land on him, this is when Donald and Goofy first see the Keyblade and realize Sora is the person they are looking for. The three battle and defeat a battalion of Soldiers before the [[Guard Armor]] comes out, the trio beats this giant Heartless and Upon its defeat, Donald and Goofy explain their mission to find the [[Keyblade wielder]], and they ask Sora to come with them, Sora is hesitant at first but when Leon tells Sora that going with them would provide the best chance to find his friends Sora agrees to accompany them on their journey. Before they leave, Leon and the others give Sora [[munny]] to spend in preparing for his journey, and Donald and Goofy teach Sora [[magic]] and [[Dodge Roll]], respectively.
