Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
Twilight Town is first introduced in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, but unlike all the other world's, it's not based on Sora's memories, but rather Roxas'. The world is explored through boxed-in areas heavily inspired by the real town. In cutscenes, areas such as ', the ', and  are visited. The last area also serving as boss arena for both Vexen, and Riku Replica.

During the game's credit Roxas is briefly seen on top of the Clock Tower at the .

Twilight Town
Twilight Town is among one of the largest worlds in Kingdom Hearts II, with many major set pieces. One of the town's bigger locations is the Shōten Machi (商店街), a long, winding, steeply-sloped road that leads from the lower areas of town to the top, stretching across multiple areas. The upper portion of the street is known as Ekimaedōri (駅前通り), where a few shops are located such as Wallace's weapon shop and an item shop run by Wantz, as well as a noticeboard for various jobs, which can be experience through mini-games. The lower portion of Market Street is the Toramu Hiroba (トラム広場), an open-market area with a free tram circling around. Many shops are found here, including Jessie's accessory shop, Biggs' armor shop, and a Moogle Shop. In the Simulated Twilight Town, the Moogle Shop is a candy shop instead. Another noticeboard mini-game jobs is found down here. Both parts of Market Street connect to the Akichi (空き地), an open area where the infamous Struggle battles take place. Both Station Heights and the Sandlot lead to the Rojiura (路地裏), where Hayner's gang's hideout, Itsumo no Basho (いつもの場所) is located. In the simulated Twilight Town, Rokusasu no Heya (ロワサスの部屋) can be briefly seen in various cutscenes. It's several stories above ground, and has a nice view of the town.

Traveling up through the Station Heights leads to the Ekimae Hiroba (駅前広場), a large and open terrace, with a great view of the entire town. The plaza is presided over by the town's distinctive and famous Clock Tower, which, though a twelve-hour clock, has "I" at the top instead of "XII". At Station Plaza is also where the Sentoraru Sutēshon (セントラルステーション) is found, which is a large train station, with trains that travel all over the world, including other districts of the town, as well as an unseen beach. There's also a magic train here that travels to the Mysterious Tower.

Another district of the town, Sansetto Jūtakugai (サンセット住宅街), can be reached by taking the train at Central Station to Sansetto Sutēshon (サンセットステーション). Sunset Terrace lies at the outskirts of Twilight Town and boarders to huge fields of grass, with a great view of the mountains in the distance. Another free train travels back and forth the area. Connecting to Sunset Terrace is Sansetto Hiru (サンセットヒル), a tranquil, tiny area, with a small sculpture mimicking the Clock Tower, which can also be seen from here. Underneath the town is a vast Chika Renraku Tsūro (地下連絡通路), which has several entrances across town, located at the Back Alley, the Station Plaza, and the Tram Commons. One exit leads to the Tonneru (トンネル), which in turn leads back to Sunset Terrace.

To the far right of town are Machihazure no Mori (町はずれの森), a large forest only accessible through a crack in the walls of Tram Common. Passing through The Woods leads to a gate and a courtyard belonging to Yashikimae (屋敷前). Upon entering the Robī (ロビー), the Mansion splits off in three different directions. On the left side of the Foyer is the Dainingu (ダイニング); up the left set of stairs and through the door is Shiroi Heya (白い部屋), where Naminé spends a lot of her time; while up the stairs to the right lies the Shoko (書庫). At the Library, there is a false floor that hides a staircase which goes down and leads to the Konpyūtā Rūmu (コンピュータールーム), where DiZ monitors the simulated Twilight Town. There's also a machine which allows transport into the simulation. The doorway to the left of the computer leads to the Chika Hōru (地下広間), where Roxas fights Axel in the simulated counterpart. The Basement Hall then leads to the Chika Rōka (地下廊下), which houses a few pods, and finally to the Poddo Rūmu (ポッドルーム), where Sora slept while Naminé fixed his memories. Towards the end of the game Sora and party can access the simulation via DiZ's machine, but are limited access to only the Computer Room, and the Basement Hall. A Corridor of Darkness can by found in the latter area, which allows travel across the emptiness of Hazama no Kūkan (狭間の空間) to enter the Dark City and begin their assault on the Organization's stronghold.

(虚無の世界) is an ominous white room where Naminé temporarily brings Roxas after his visit to Dive to the Heart. It's filled with oddly shaped boxes with varying lengths and sizes, most of them having their top portions resembling a crown. The room also seem to have no end and just goes on forever. Two other areas featured exclusively in cutscenes are (電車:車内) and  (不思議な電車:車内), featured as Roxas head to Sunset Staion and Sora traveling to Mysterious Tower respectively.

Mysterious Tower
As mentioned, Mysterious Tower is part of Twilight Town in Kingdom Hearts II, and is accessed by the magic train. (不思議な塔) itself is a surrealistic, crooked, golden-brown tower, loosely based on the setting of  The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The Tower is topped with blue cone-shaped turret roofs, decorated with moons and stars, similar to Yen Sid's hat. It rests on a floating island that contains a courtyard with plenty of trees. Inside the main door is the (塔:エントランス), surrounded by an upward-spiraling staircase that leads to a strange portal. Through the portal, Sora and party are transported to the (塔:階段の間), a transitioning room where stairways connect the various rooms of the tower via portals. Other than the entrance, stairs, and upper floor, there are two known rooms in the middle of the Tower. One is the (塔：月の部屋), and the other is the  (塔：星の部屋). Both are perfectly round rooms, each with two doors leading either up or down the Tower, and are decorated with moons and stars, respectively. The final stairway is steep and straight, and leads to Yen Sid's study, the (塔:魔法使いの部屋). The study is the largest room in the building, with several bookshelves, as well as three large star-shaped windows and a crescent one. A door to the right leads to the (塔:ドレスルーム), where the Three Good Fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, resides. Several covered mirrors are located there, each representing one of Sora's Drive Forms.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Twilight Town is a lot smaller than it was in Kingdom Hearts II. The town's largest area is the (トラム広場), loaded with buildings, streets, and two backyard type areas. Heading down south of the area leads to the (空き地), location to several boss encounter. The bottom west point of the area takes Roxas up to the (路地裏), where Hayner, Pence, and Olette's hangout is located, called  (高架下). Continuing up from Side Street leads to the (駅前通り), a long street on an incline, with paths leading back down to both the Tram Common and the Sandlot. At top of Station Heights is the (駅前広場), home to the town's famous Clock Tower, where Roxas, Axel, and Xion often eat Sea-salt ice cream after missions. One of the entrances the town's tunnels, called (地下連絡通路), is located here. The underground connects to several areas from town, such as the Tram Common and the Side Street. At bottom of the area is passage leading a smaller location simply called (トンネル).

To the east of the Tram Common is a massive wall with a hole in it, from which (町はずれの森) can be accessed. Traversing through the forest takes Roxas up to a courtyard belonging to (屋敷前), headquarters to DiZ, Naminé, and Riku.

In cutscenes, areas such as ', the ', and  are scene. Also, during the fight against Xion, she'll drag Roxas across locations from other worlds, such as the Bizarre Room, Manor Ruins, and Lamp Chamber, before they end back up in the air above Station Plaza.

Kingdom Hearts III
In Kingdom Hearts III the world is a lot smaller than it's previously been, and the areas available for traversal are collectively referred to as Machi no Ikkaku (街の一角). Sora arrives at the Tram Common, which has undergone several changes. The place heavily populated with more people, filled with plants, and other signs of habitation. The Sandlot entryway is closed off by a large door, while the entrance to Station Heights serves as an exit from the world, making these parts of the world inaccessible. The armor shop has been replaced by Le Grand Bistrot, where Merlin can be found dining in the terrace out front, allowing access to the 100 Acre Wood, while the tram lot's been repurposed into an outdoor movie theater. The Synthesis Moogle Shop is still where it was in Kingdom Hearts II, with a tiny mailbox beside it where Sora can mail Prize Postcards he finds.

The hole in the wall has been sealed, and to access (街外れの森), Sora has to traverse through a new passageway near the former Sandlot entrance, called the Chika Suidō (地下水道). The area is quite linear, with a lot of sewage across the floors. At the end of the waterway Sora can exit to The Woods through a cellar door. The Woods are noticeably different with a lot of fallen trees around the area. Passing by the area and running up the path leads to the (屋敷前), which is briefly entered only in cutscenes where only the Computer Room is shown.

Top of the Clock Tower also appears in various cutscenes, though the Station Plaza below is inaccessible.

Worksheet: Hollow Bastion
Sora and the rest of the party enter Hollow Bastion at the Sakamaku Taki no Soko (逆巻く滝の底), appropriately named as there are waterfalls that run up instead of down. This area, as well as all other areas on the bottom reaches of the castle, contains magical bubbles that can transport the team under the solid water, or can be frozen to be used as platforms. Jumping on mystical floating rocks and ledges takes the party to the first of many magical platforms that are scattered throughout the castle. The platform takes Sora to the Seimon (正門), the main entrance of Hollow Bastion which is made up of a set of balconies and lifts running outside the castle. From here, the party can travel down into the underground water system or enter the castle itself.

Going down the nearby platform or leaping off the edge of the balcony takes the party to Kibu (基部), an area full of ledges, switches, and enemies. Successfully climbing to the balcony near the entrance earns extra treasures, while taking a nearby bubble carries them to the Utsuronaru Shiro: Chika Suiro (虚ろなる城：地下水路), where a series of gates, switches, and bubbles must be navigated to operate the castle gate controls. Off of the Waterway is a small room, the Chika Rō (地下牢).

Going through the doors at the other end of the Castle Gates area takes the party to the massive two-level Utsoronaru Shiro: Entoransu (虚ろなる城：エントランス), where a fight against Riku takes place. To continue onwards through the castle the puzzle at the end of the hall must be solved; solved, it allows access to the second half of the Castle Gates. Taking the left door in the Entrance Hall leads the party to Utsuronaru Shiro: Shoko (虚ろなる城：書庫), also the site of a large puzzle involving organizing misplaced books. Belle, Yuffie, Leon and Aerith can later be found here after the Hollow Bastion Keyhole is locked.

Also accessible from the Library is the first of many entrances to the Torokko Noriba (トロッコ乗場), a junction point for the series of magical tram lines that snake throughout the castle. Each route is separated from the others by mystical barriers, and many passages and hallways also converge at this hub. The ceiling of the Lift Stop is decorated with stain glass.

Continuing up the castle by taking the lift on the other side of the Castle Gates area is the Utsuronaru Shiro: Daimon Kabe (虚ろなる城：大紋壁), an enormous bas relief of the Heartless emblem, where the largest of the magic lifts is located. After a long and slow journey across the front of the bastion, the party is dropped on the other side, where they can take the Lift Stop to the next area, the Kōrō (高楼), where a smaller crest can be moved to create a way up to the upper levels of the castle. Through the Lift Stop at the opposite end of the High Tower is the entrance to the Utsuronaru Shiro: Raihaidō (虚ろなる城：礼拝堂), where the exit to the next room is sealed until Maleficent is defeated. There is also a secret area, where the Dragon and Xemnas are fought.

Once the seal is broken, the party arrives in the Utsuronaru Shiro: Ōhiroma (虚ろなる城：大広間), where the Princesses of Heart are held captive and the Final Keyhole forms. Inside the Grand Hall is a Heartless Emblem-shaped portal leading to a small dimension known as the Yami no Fuchi (闇の淵). Here, Sora and company fight off the Behemoth guarding the Keyhole from being sealed.

 is an area not available to Sora that is revealed during Riku's journey in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

Kingdom Hearts II
Access to the castle is very limited in Kingdom Hearts II. During the second trip to the world, the way to the castle is unlocked and leads to the Shiro Tsūyō Kuchi (城通用口), the site of a save point and the base entrance to the bastion itself. Going inside, the party must navigate the twisting Rōka (廊下) before reaching the end at Ansemu no Kenkyūshitsu (アンセムの研究室).

Despite promotional images and movies for Kingdom Hearts II that depict Sora, Donald, and Goofy in battle in the High Tower area of the castle as it appeared in Kingdom Hearts, the area is nonexistent in the game.

Ansem's study and computer
Ansem's Study was the private study of Ansem the Wise in Hollow Bastion. The room contains a throne and desk, containers filled with hearts, and books. As leader of Radiant Garden, he used it to store his research on the heart. Mickey Mouse and Ansem often talked in there. There is a portrait of Terra-Xehanort in the study, though it is unknown if Ansem or Terra-Xehanort put the painting up there. Behind the painting, it shows the password which are the Princesses of Heart. There is a secret passage in the wall that leads to Ansem's Computer.

Ansem's Computer is a complex computer system used by Ansem the Wise during his rule over Radiant Garden, and later used by his apprentices after his exile. It contains an elaborate network copied from ENCOM, containing the Space Paranoids world, which was updated and modified for research purposes.

The computer once held a vast variety of information regarding many subjects studied by Ansem and his apprentices, such as the Heartless, Nobodies, Organization XIII, and Ansem the Wise himself. However, when Sora, Donald, and Goofy tried to access the information on their enemies, they found that all of it was corrupted, possibly by Xemnas. The only thing that did come up was a picture file of the true Ansem the Wise, leading to the truth being revealed about Xehanort's Heartless.

The computer continues to be used by Xemnas to access the Chamber of Repose located several miles below the factory. While the password to Ansem's D.T.D. dataspace is the names of the Seven Princesses of Heart, Xemnas's password to access the Chamber of Repose is the original names of Ansem the Wise's six apprentices: Xehanort, Even, Braig, Dilan, Ienzo, and Aeleus. It also allows access to the Heartless Manufactory on the floor below the room, and activates the laser that transports users to Space Paranoids. On the other side of the computer room is a small balcony overlooking the .

Kingdom Hearts coded
In Kingdom Hearts coded Hollow Bastion I is very similar to the Hollow Bastion from Kingdom Hearts. Data-Sora starts his journey in the , he then goes to the Waterway as soon as he finds the gate is locked shut to find a way to unlock the gate. After opening the gate, he soon joins with Goofy at the Entoransu (Kabu) (エントランス(下部)). After examining the Heartless slot on a door, Data-Sora and Goofy visit the library, which is broken down into Shoko Ichi (書庫1), Shoko Ni (書庫2), Shoko San (書庫3) and Shoko Yon (書庫4), to search for the missing emblems. Data-Sora also chases after Donald in the Waterway. After the party is set, they travel to the Great Crest via a huge lift, leading to the High Tower. After obtaining the last emblem, they can finally chase after Pete who waits in the Grand Hall. Data-Sora encounters Pete and Data-Riku in the , at the Kagiana: Raihaidō (鍵穴:礼拝堂).

Hollow Bastion II is set within Data-Riku, who is lying comatose in the Grand Hall. From Riku Dēta Naibu (リク データ内部), Data-Sora can enter five doors. The first takes him to Desutinī Airando (デスティニーアイランド). The second takes him to Traverse Town, divided into the Ichiban Machi (1番街) and Niban Machi (2番街). The third takes him to Wonderland at the Chūō Hiroba (中央広場), leading to the Hasu no Mori (ハスの森). The fourth takes him to Agrabah at the Mahō no Dōkutsu Hajimari no Ma (魔法の洞窟 始まりの間), where he must travel backwards out to the Taigā Heddo (タイガーヘッド). The final door takes him to Hollow Bastion's Raihaidō (礼拝堂) where he encounters the bugged Data-Riku. The side-scrolling segment takes place Inside Riku's Data, with the Dragon Maleficent encounter within the Raihaidō (Ryū no Ma) (礼拝堂(竜の間)). Data-Sora also revisits the Grand Hall before the 3D shooting segment takes place in the Data Tunnel. Data-Sora defeats Sora's Heartless at Hen'i Dēta Chūsū (変異データ中枢).

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
The Chūō Hiroba (中央広場) is a square located in the middle of the world. Going northwest will take the protagonist to the Teien (庭園). Going east, the protagonist will find a flight of stairs leading to the Shōmen Tobira Kuchi (正面扉口). Another flight of stairs going up will take the protagonist to Hollow Bastion. Back from the square, going east takes the protagonist to the Jūtakugai (住宅街). From here, the protagonist can access Mārin no Ie (マーリンの家).

Once the protagonist leaves the Castle Town, there is a path that will lead them to the Funsui Hiroba (噴水広場). The upper section (not the middle) of this place is the Suiro (水路), Radiant Garden's irrigation system. Past this place is the world's Dōryoku-ro (動力炉).

The Central Square has another door, past two flights of stairs, one on either side, which will take the protagonist to the Entoransu (エントランス). Past that are the Jōgai Teien (城外庭園). There is a secret door in the middle of this place, which leads to the Jōka Shisetsu (浄化施設), which is situated below the gardens.

The Town
Sora first arrives in the Radiant Garden (still known as Hollow Bastion at the time) at the Shōten Machi (商店街) which houses the world's Moogle shop, as well as Scrooge McDuck and the accessory, weapon, and items shops of his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Down the stairs past the item shop is the Jūtakugai (住宅街), a residential area where Mārin no Ie (マーリンの家) is located. It's also the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee's base of operations and leads to the world 100 Acre Wood.

Continuing on, leads the Jōheki Hiroba (城壁広場) which allows a look of Villain's Vale and access to the Kensetsu-chū Tsūro (建設中通路). After the events of the first journey to Space Paranoids, the layout of the Bailey is altered; the outer wall of the city has broken down, and the Jōmon Mae (城門前) can be accessed through the Bailey. The Restoration Site contains the equipment used to restore the city. It is also changed after the first visit to Space Paranoids, which allows access to two new treasures. At the end of the Restoration Site is the entrance to the castle, Hollow Bastion.

Outside of the Town
If the protagonist goes to the Castle Gate from the Bailey, there is an old gate similar to the one in Kingdom Hearts. From the Castle Gate, the protagonist will reach the long and winding Tanima no Michi (谷間の道) that eventually leads to the Kesshō no Hazama (結晶の狭間), a small cave-like area with glowing crystals. This leads to Dai Keikoku (大渓谷), a large area where the Battle of the 1000 Heartless is fought. The next and last area is the Yami no Fuchi (闇の淵), where Sora and his friends encounter Xemnas, Saïx, Axel, and Maleficent.

Villain's Vale
The Bailey has a good view of the Viran Toride (ヴィラン砦) which is an unreachable area in Kingdom Hearts II. Villain's Vale contains a room inside, also known as Villain's Vale (ヴィラン砦の一室), which acts as a base of operations for Maleficent and her forces of darkness. The Vale contains a small, ramshackle set of towers arranged in a castle configuration, rising from a pile of ruined masonry and machinery. After discovering that Maleficent had been defeated, Pete showed up here to see if it was true. He found an empty fortress, but was soon greeted by a resurrected Maleficent.

When Sora and co. first arrive in Hollow Bastion, at the base of the Vale is a swarm of Shadow Heartless. Leon and the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee wish to restore the city, but first need to get rid of the Heartless. After the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, the base of the Vale is no longer surrounded by Heartless. The Heartless were amassed together by Maleficent and Pete for their army and then used to attack Hollow Bastion. The Heartless, however, sided with Organization XIII and did not finish attacking the city.

Villain's Vale appears in several flashbacks seen in Timeless River. As Maleficent treats Pete badly after his failure, the latter begins wishing he could return to the old days when he captained the Steamboat Willie. In response, the worlds gave Pete a doorway to his past to atone for his mistakes. He shows the door to Maleficent, who orders him to go to the past and destroy the Cornerstone of Light so that they may take control of Disney Castle in the present. After losing Hollow Bastion to the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, she deems the crumbling fortress unworthy, and begins searching for a new, grander castle in which to rule, setting her sights on both Disney Castle and the Castle That Never Was.
