Mission walkthrough
From the starting point, head to the Bizarre Room. Drink from the bottle on the table to shrink down. Fight the Heartless in the room if you want, then enter the purple doorway in the northwest corner. Continue north through the Hedge Maze Entrance to the Queen's Castle, then head into the Lotus Forest.

The Pink Concertos are hidden inside closed lotus flowers throughout the area. Examine the flowers to force the Pink Concertos out. Remember, Pink Concertos are resilient to physical attacks, but are weak against Fire spells. Avoid the black cloud the Pink Concertos release, as it causes blindness as well as cause continuous damage. A combo finisher can be used to disperse the cloud if it catches Roxas, and Block-Counter can be used after blocking the cloud to land a finisher on the Pink Concerto and eliminate the cloud. Eliminate the four Pink Concertos in the forest, then return to the Queen's Castle. Jump up and repeatedly attack the raised cage on the right side of the Queen's throne to lower it to the ground. Hidden inside is the final Pink Concerto! Defeat the last Pink Concerto then RTC.

You need to have High Jump LVL 3 or Glide to reach the chest atop the hedge in the southeast corner of the Tea Party Garden. Jump and Glide from the raised north platforms in the Lotus Forest. Another option would be to use two perfectly timed Air Dashes combined with the Nimble Gear. Fly south to the southeast door. You then emerge from this door on the hedges above the entrance in the Tea Party Garden. Without falling to the ground, jump and Glide over to the chest in the southeast corner.
