Prankster's Paradise

Unreleased

Prankster's Paradise is a placeholder name for a world briefly featured in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix and set to appear in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance as a world submerged in sleep that needs to be awakened. It is based on Pinocchio.

Kingdom Hearts
At one point, Prankster's Paradise is attacked by Heartless led by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and subsequently destroyed. The only known survivors are Pinocchio, Geppetto, Jiminy Cricket, Cleo and Monstro (Figaro appears only in the manga). Following Ansem's demise, the world is apparently not restored, but submerged in sleep.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
A recent issue of V-Jump magazine features Pinocchio and Jiminy inside Stromboli's cage, with Pinocchio's nose having grown apparently due to lies. They claim that they are in a circus train trapped within Monstro. The same issue also features a profile of Pinocchio with his trademark donkey ears and tail, which he acquired in Pleasure Island for bad behaviour. In all cases, Pinocchio appears to have reverted to puppet form, but this has yet to be explained, since Pinocchio was shown to have become a real boy at the end of the first game.

Characters

 * Monstro and Stromboli are mentioned, but it is unknown if they will appear.

Trivia

 * Prankster's Paradise was originally meant to appear in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days with Pinocchio as a real boy, but was removed due to time constraints. Sprites of several characters are in the game's coding. An area based on the world appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, but in the Mirage Arena.
 * Prankster's Paradise will be the second featured world based on Pinocchio, the first being Monstro, even though Monstro himself is not essentially a real world.
