Story
Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, Oogie Boogie, under the instruction of Maleficent, stole the artificial heart from Doctor Finkelstein. He ate it, hoping to control the Heartless. However, they did not heed his call, only a few do actually appear due to the heart being a fake. Out of anger and revenge, Oogie Boogie attacked Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack Skellington in his deathtrap of a casino beneath his
house. During the fight, Oogie attacked with various bladed traps, such as buzzsaws and spinning floor blades, located in his casino, as well as several pairs of exploding die.
Succumbing to the powers of darkness (just as Jafar had), Oogie Boogie took control over his entire house. Merging with it, he attacked Sora and his friends once more. Sora combated the house, and destroyed it (and Oogie Boogie) by destroying all the orbs of darkness covering him.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Oogie Boogie appears as a figment of Sora's memories. He, like in the original game, attempts to steal Jack's research project, in this case, the Memory Potion. Eventually he succeeds in his plan, but fails again when he drank the potion and became terrified of what he remembered (though it is never quite explained what).
In Riku's story he appeared (with no dialogue) as one of Riku's dark memories. He is, of course, defeated there as well.
Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, Maleficent revived Oogie Boogie with the help of Lock, Shock and Barrel. Unfortunately, Oogie Boogie suffered from anterograde amnesia and has difficulty remembering things since his resurrection. While he is capable of remembering Jack from before his defeat in Kingdom Hearts, and Maleficent as well, he forgets Sandy Claws' identity quickly, having just met him. Under Maleficent's orders, Oogie Boogie captured Santa Claus in Christmas Town to turn him into a Heartless and converts the present making machine into a Heartless making machine. Just as Sora, Donald, and Goofy discovered Oogie's plans, Oogie abandoned Maleficent's plans, saying that she was just cramping his style. Angered, Maleficent left, and Oogie once again battled against the heroes, failing once again, coming apart at the seams just like last time. During the boss battle with him, he attacked the heroes with the dark gifts that came out of his machine.
Personality
Oogie Boogie's most dominant emotion of his personality is obviously fear. Whether it's scaring the daylights out of others, or being terrified himself, Oogie is always involved with fear. He also is shown to be considerably more dull than the other villains. Although he does seem to have his smart streak every now and then. Oogie also shows a love to gamble and to play games. With the dice that he always throws and the fact that his boss battles take place on game boards(more torture-like game boards) makes this obvious. Also, Oogie has been shown to annoy the other Disney villain's in some cutscenes.

"Do I remember them? Ha! You're too much! I'll never forget what they did to me!... What was it they did to me?"

Trivia
- When he merged with his manor, Oogie Boogie was considered the largest Disney boss ever fought in the Kingdom Hearts series. However, Giant Ursula, Genie Jafar and Chernabog are bigger.
- Oogie Boogie is the only member of Maleficent's group from the first Kingdom Hearts to show any affiliation with her in Kingdom Hearts II and he is one of the four villains in Maleficent's council of villains to have fallen to darkness, the other four being Jafar, Ursula, and Maleficent herself.
- It's possible that when Oogie fused himself with his manor, he became a pureblood Heartless since he technically "had a heart" that he stole and swallowed and the darkness in him fed away quickly at it.
- When Oogie died in Kingdom Hearts II, Donald stepped on his "brain bug" just like what Santa did in the movie.
