Theater Mode

Theater Mode (シアターモード) is a feature introduced in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. It allows the player to re-watch all voiced cutscenes in the game after beating it at any time via the main menu, where "New Game" and "Load" are accessible.

Theater Mode is usually found in the Opening Menu of the game, with Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep taking a different approach by placing Theater Mode in the Trinity Archives. The only exception is with Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance which is instead accessed during gameplay through the Mementos section of the regular menu.
