 ==Story==
-===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
+===''Kingdom Hearts''===
-In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Jack decides to use the newest arrivals to Halloween Town, the [[Heartless]], to take terror to a new level for the year's festival. Oddly finding a book that tells all about them, Jack worked alongide [[Doctor Finkelstein]] to create a guidnace system that coordinated the Heartless's movements for a dance introducing him at the festival. However, at rehersal, he found their movements not to be scary enough and went to consult the doctor about it.
+When [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive in Halloween Town, they discover that Jack has decided to use the town's newest arrivals, the [[Heartless]], to take terror to a new level for the year's festival. In an attempt to make the Heartless dance with him, Jack enlists the services of [[Doctor Finkelstein]] to create a guidance system to coordinate their movements. Unsatisfied with the results, Jack decides they need a "[[heart]]".
-Reading the book, Jack decided the Heartless needed a [[heart]] and the doctor provided a heart-like container to use for putting in ingrediants; it was locked, however. This is what lead Jack to meet [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] for the first time; Sora unlocked the "heart" for them out of curiosty of seeing the Heartless dance. Their attmept to add the heart onto the device backfired; the Heartless they barely had under their control had reverted to their natural selves and were attacking everyone in town.
+Sora offers his help in constructing the heart, unlocking the heart-like container for Doctor Finkelstein, and Jack accompanies Sora and company in gathering extra ingredients. When the Heartless become hostile following the doctor's first attempt at using the heart, Jack fights alongside the others.
-Sent by Dr. Finkelstein to collect more ingrediants, Jack helped Soara fight off the Heartless and found Sally, who had the "memory" needed for the heart. Though she tried to persaude him from not going any further with his plans for the Heartless, Jack ignored her and continued his work. Once more ingrediants were placed in the heart and it was about to be tested again, Jack was forced to chase after [[Lock, Shock and Barrel]], who stole it. Chasing them to [[Oogie Boogie|Oogie]]'s manor, Jack helped give the pranksters a sound beating before learning they sent the heart below to Oogie himself.
+Sora, Jack, and the others obtain the remaining ingredients for the heart, including "memory" from [[Sally]], who asks Jack in vain to reconsider using the Heartless. They return to the doctor's lab with the ingredients, but the finished heart is stolen by [[Lock, Shock and Barrel]], and Sora, Jack, and company give chase. They follow them to [[Oogie's Manor]], and although they fail to recover the heart before the pranksters send it to [[Oogie Boogie]], they give the three of them a sound beating.
-Confronting Oogie in his torture chamber, Jack demanded the return of the heart. However, Oogie swallowed it and uses its power to summon Heartless. Defeating the foul villain, Jack retreived the heart and left. However, Oogie returned, merging together with his manor to become a gaint monster. Jack worked with Sora to defeat him and watched as he sealed the [[Keyhole]] of Halloween Town.
+Upon confronting Oogie in his torture chamber, Jack demands the heart back, but Oogie swallows it and attempts to use its power to control the Heartless. The group defeat Oogie, but as they are heading back to town, Oogie fuses together with his [[Game:Oogie's Manor|manor]], forcing them into battle again. After Oogie is defeated once more, Jack watches Sora lock the [[Keyhole]] of Halloween Town.
-Jack then appologised to Sally for not listening to her warnings. However, she told him they could think of a new idea for halloween together. Jack reluctantly canceled the "Heartless Halloween" and gave Sora the [[Pumpkinhead]] keychain.
+Back in town, Jack laments not listening to Sally, who tells him that they'll come up with a new plan for Halloween together. Jack gives Sora the [[Pumpkinhead]] keychain and invites him to visit anytime.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts}}
-===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===
+===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
-Jack makes an appearance as a figment of Sora's memory in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''. His role this time remains relatively the same. He requested Dr. Finkelstein to make a memory potion, hoping that it would help in teaching the Heartless new Halloween tricks. Like in Kingdom Hearts, Donald was not very fond of Jack, especially since he scared Donald.
+A memory-based projection of Jack appears in the memory Halloween Town within one of the rooms of [[Castle Oblivion]]. When Sora and company enter, he makes a frightening entrance, scaring Donald. He takes the group to see Dr. Finkelstein in hopes of finding a way to get rid of the town's Heartless. The doctor sends Jack to retrieve his memory potion from Sally, and Sora comes along.
-===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
+When they find Sally, she expresses concern of what would happen if someone drank the potion, while Jack is excited. When Oogie Boogie steals the potion and takes off, the group go after him. They catch up, but Oogie drinks the potion, and they fight and defeat him. Back at the lab, after Sora turns down the chance to drink the leftover drops of potion, Jack tells him that fear and doubt are the signs of a strong heart, and he sends them on their way.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories}}
-In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Jack appears once more, planning the perfect Halloween. He is at a loss of ideas, however, finally getting one when he catches Roxas leaving the world through a Dark Corridor. Upon [[Roxas]]'s next visit, Jack is seen in the Town Square with Doctor Finkelstein, displaying decorated balloons that contained a horrifying surprise. The doctor liked the idea, Jack still not satisfied. Roxas later encountered the Pumpkin King and his dog Zero in the Graveyard, the ghost-dog showing Jack that Heartless could now be found in the balloons. Not recalling having put the Heartless in the balloons, he deciphered that another mind had decided to place the dark creatures in them to add an extra level of terror.
-Jack then continued brainstorming, hoping to prevent this other "great mind" from coming up with better ideas before he did. He then awarded Zero a bone after realizing the dog had given him a hint, Jack heading straight to Dr. Finkelstein's lab to tell him of a brand new, great idea. He later shows Dr. Finkelstein a scarecrow he has made, that resembles Roxas in its hairstyle, as he saw Roxas briefly leaving an area.
+Sora can summon Jack during battle as a [[friend card]].
-===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
+===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
-Jack in his Santa costume in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he takes a comparable role to his character in the movie. However, this time, he wishes only to help Santa Claus deliver presents (instead of taking his place as in the movie). Reuniting with Sora, Jack appoints him and his freins bodyguards for Santa so he can bring him to Halloween Town to see all he's done for the holiday.
+While [[Roxas]] is engaged in a [[Mission 42: Collect hearts|mission]] in Halloween Town on Day 149, Jack is planning the next Halloween festivities. He is at a loss for new ideas, but he gets some inspiration when he catches a glimpse of Roxas leaving the world through a Dark Corridor.
-However, when they arrive in Christmas Town, Jack is questioned about what his intentions are THIS time. Finding Lock, Shock and Barrel escaping the toy factory, Jack chases them back to Curly Hill, where he helps fight off the Prisoner Keeper. After its defeat, it's learned Oogie was brought back to life by Maleficent. Heading back to Christmas Town, Jack helps defeat Oogie for good.
+During his [[Mission 45: Collect hearts|next mission]] to Halloween Town, Roxas sees Jack presenting an idea to Doctor Finkelstein, decorated balloons that contain terrifying surprises. The doctor approves of the idea, although Jack is still not satisfied. Roxas later sees Jack and [[Zero]] in the Graveyard, where the ghost-dog shows Jack that some balloons contain Heartless. Jack figures that someone else has decided to place the Heartless in balloons to add an extra level of terror. Jack continues brainstorming, hoping to prevent this other individual from coming up with better ideas before him, and when he gets a new idea, he gives Zero a bone and heads for Dr. Finkelstein's lab.
-Donning his new Santa Claus suit, Jack explains to Santa that he only wishes to assist as he must be tired from preparing for the holiday. Though Santa is thankful for the kind offer, he reminds Jack he must take care of Halloween; it's his duty to children to come up with frightening ideas, mcuh as it is for Santa to give children presents at Christmas. His Santa suit then helps Sora open a new pathway to the [[Pride Lands]].
+When Roxas returns on a [[Mission 52: Collect hearts|later mission]], Jack has had the Doctor build giant lanterns for him to use for grand entrance. Although he still isn't satisfied, he is further inspired by the explosion when Lock, Shock, and Barrel blow a hole in the wall of the Graveyard.
-Later, Jack is blamed for stealing the presents from Santa's factory. He teams up with Sora again to help solve the mystery and clear his name. They do this by hiding in a giant present and tricking the thief into stealing it. Jack and Sora then defeat the thief, who turns out to be Dr. Finkelstein's [[The Experiment|Experiment]], and save Christmas. After that, Santa lets Jack ride in his sleigh, giving him the idea of what it's like to be him. Later, [[Sally]] helps him realize that the most important thing of Christmas is not the gift box, nor the present inside it, but the wish of the giver to make someone happy.
+Roxas returns for [[Mission 62: Eliminate the Carrier Ghost|Mission 62]] to see that Jack has had Dr. Finkelstein create a freezing pumpkin-bomb. The Doctor approves of Jack taking inspiration from the world around him. The two briefly discuss the activities of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, but neither of them know what they are up to.
-===Ending===
+Jack witnesses from a distance the battle between Roxas and the [[Leechgrave]] during [[Mission 66: Restore the town's Heartless|Mission 66]], and seeing Roxas's [[black coat]] and the [[Tentaclaw]]s give him an idea. By the time Roxas returns to the town square, Jack has erected a [[scarecrow]] combining the two images, with plans to make more. Although Dr. Finkelstein is impressed, Roxas is less so.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days}}
-Jack is seen in his normal outfit, discussing his plans for the next halloween with everyone in the doctor's lab; he's learned his lesson about trying to help with other holidays.
+===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
+One day while walking through the Hinterlands with Zero, Jack discovers a clearing with trees decorated with festive doors. He opens a door shaped like a Christmas tree and falls through into [[Christmas Town]].
+When Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive in the Town Square, which is decorated with Christmas lights, Jack arrives in a makeshift sleigh pulled by skeletal [[reindeer]]. He wishes them a Merry Chistmas and tells them that he running Christmas "again". They visit Sally in Dr. Finkelstein's lab before Jack heads off to bring [[Santa Claus]], but he comes back to tell Sora that Heartless have appeared in town. Jack helps the group defeat the Heartless and asks them to be Santa's bodyguards. They all travel to Santa's House in Christmas Town, but Santa is less then pleased to see Jack after the last time he tried to run Christmas.
+When Lock, Shock, and Barrel invade Santa's factory with [[Maleficent]]'s help, Santa sends the group after them, and they follow the pranksters to Curly Hill where they defeat the [[Prison Keeper]]. When Lock, Shock, and Barrel run off to see Oogie Boogie, Jack and the others are surprised to learn that he has been revived. On their way back, Sally tells them that Oogie has kidnapped Santa Claus and is headed for Christmas Town. They return to the Toy Factory, where they defeat Oogie Boogie.
+Afterwards, Sally gives an excited Jack the Santa costume she had been working on, but Santa convinces him that they should each stick to doing the jobs they love and do best, and Jack, newly inspired, heads towards Halloween Town with [[the Mayor]], who has come looking for him. As he leaves, his costume reveals the next [[Gate]].
+When Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to Halloween Town, they find Jack, still in costume, picking presents off the ground in the Hinterlands. Although Sora is skeptical, Jack explains he just found the presents and is only returning them to Santa. When they arrive at Santa's House, Santa informs them that a large number of presents have been stolen from his factory, and Jack volunteers the group for finding the thief. Although they find Lock, Shock, and Barrel in the Wrapping Room, they claim they are only looking for parts for Dr. Finkelstein's [[The Experiment|experiment]] and have no interest in Christmas presents.
+Sally arrives with news of Heartless with presents in Halloween Town, so the group return and recover the gifts, only to discover the Doctor's experiment has also been stolen. Jack decides to set a trap for the thief using decoy Christmas presents, and they discover the thief to be the experiment itself. In gratitude, Santa lets Jack ride with him in his sleigh. After Jack returns, Sally helps him realize that meaning of giving a present is not the gift box, nor the present inside it, but the wish to make someone happy, and the two dance in the snow.
+Some time after [[Xemnas]]'s defeat, Jack is seen, sans costume, discussing plans for the next Halloween with everyone in the Doctor's lab.
