Country of the Musketeers

Country of the Musketeers is a Sleeping World that is featured in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It is based on the direct-to-video Disney film Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, and notable for being the first world in the series to originate from a direct-to-video movie instead of a film from the Disney animated features canon.

Like Timeless River and Symphony of Sorcery, Country of the Musketeers is set in the past, although at a later period, and focuses on Mickey's earlier adventures as a Musketeer with Donald and Goofy.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts
Sometime after Terra-Xehanort's descent into darkness, his heartless, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, attacked many worlds, including Country of the Musketeers, and swallowed them into the darkness. Though it was restored after Sora defeated Ansem and destroyed the End of the World, Country of the Musketeers remained in a state of deep sleep instead of returning to the Realm of Light, plagued by Nightmare Dream Eaters.

Sora
Sora arrives in the Training Yard, finding Mickey, Donald and Goofy under attack by the Dream Eaters. Goofy charges off with his eyes closed, thinking he'll get the enemies. He greets Mickey as "Your Majesty", getting met with confusion from Mickey; this is the past/dream, and Mickey is not yet King. Mickey questions him about his weapon, and Sora tries explaining that it's a Keylade; Mickey shushes him and explains that he knows he came from another world. Sora is still confused; is this a world the King visited in the past? Sora fights and destroys all the Dream Eaters, earning thanks from Mickey, Donald and Goofy; Donald was hiding because he was a coward at this point in his past. However, he puts the idea aside when the Musketeers say that they have to go protect Princess Minnie's carriage. He offers to go along and help them; they do the "all for one, and one for all" motto.

Riding on the back of the carriage with Mickey and Donald, Sora spots a Tyranto Rex rushing up to the carriage. It bites at the carriage, knocking Mickey, Donald and Goofy off, leaving Sora alone to defend against it. Successful in defeating the Dream Eater, Sora is then attacked by the Beagle Boys, who he could have fought off easily, but a bump on the road knocks him off the carriage. Meeting up the Musketeers, Sora takes off after the Beagle Boys, tracking them to a tower. Defeating them in battle, Sora saves the princess. The Beagle Boys quickly return, but Sora says they can fight all day. Mickey asks his friends if they have any ideas as to what to do. Goofy jumps out a window with Mickey, landing on a tree and being shot back into the room and knocking the Beagle Boys out the other window and into the river below.

That night in the Training Yard, Sora sees Goofy run off after someone, only to be stopped by Mickey. Sora tells him that Goofy ran off. Donald then comes run by, but is stopped by them. Donald says that Captain Pete is going to kidnap the princess. Mickey is let confused as the captain made them musketeers; it was a lie. Lie or not, Mickey says that musketeers never run from danger; Donald says it's time for him to find a new job then. Sora and Mickey try to stop him, but Donald runs off. Sora reassures Mickey that Donald will be back. He then wonders what the captain is up to. This prompts laughter from above; Captain Pete makes his appearance to the visitor to this world. Sora is left confused once more by the appearance of a face from his past; however, if Pete's here, it makes sense he's the bad guy. Pete calls on Me Me Bunny Dream Eaters to keep Sora busy. Mickey jumps up to Pete and declares that he's under arrest. Pete makes a joke and clobbers Mickey. Distracted, Sora is knocked out by the Dream Eaters.

Sora regains consciousness to find Donald and Goofy with him. He asks them where Mickey is and learns Pete put him in the dungeon of Mont Saint-Mechel. Sora tells the past versions of his friends that they have to go save Mickey, encouraging them past their flaws. They soon reach the dungeon and rescue Mickey. Once Mickey regains consciousness, Sora encourages him to continue being a musketeer despite not being a official one. With his hope renewed, Mickey explains Pete went to the Opera, where he plans to have Minnie give him control of the throne.

Getting on stage, Sora watches as the musketeers confront Pete after rescuing Minnie. Sora looks up to see a trap set for them that will drop a box to kill them. However, just as the box drops, it vanishes; Riku helped out from the other side. Sora tells the musketeers to get Minnie to safety while he fights Pete and the Beagle Boys. Sora sends them all firing into their boss, Pete, before fighting Pete himself. Pete tries to get the upper hand by using the stage props, but Sora sends him flying into a cannon on a pirate ship prop.

Later, Sora, along with Mickey, Donald and Goofy, are named royal musketeers by Minnie. In the Training Yard, Sora performs the musketeer motto, making the Keyhole appear. He unlocks it and leaves.

Riku
Riku lands outside the opera house and spots Pete, much to his confusion. Despite his confusion, Riku knows that no matter what world he's in, Pete's always trouble. Sneaking inside, Riku finds the Beagle Boys placing wooden cutouts of Mickey, Donald and Goofy on the stage; no matter what world they're in, those three are always together. He then watches as they use a trap to drop a box on the cutouts; when Mickey, Donald and Goofy actually get there, they could be killed.

Riku follows the Beagle Boys backstage, where he finds a chest moving on its own. Hearing someone calling for help inside, Riku uses Way to the Dawn to open it; Minnie is inside. She thanks him and explains that they have to get the contraption that controls the trap set for the musketeers. Riku catches sight of the Beagle Boys, who forgot the level they are looking for, and chases after them. He runs after them and knocks them out, taking out several machines that would make his time before switching with Sora speed up.

Getting the crank, Riku tries to head back, but is interrupted by the Holey Moley Dream Eater; "they never want to make this easy". Making it in the nick of time, Riku attaches the crank and prevents Pete from dropping the box on the musketeers. Minnie thanks him and explains what a musketeers is; Riku performs the motto. He finds the keyhole and unlocks it, going on to the next world. -->
