Atlantica has been the most drastically changing world throughout the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' games. In each game its gameplay is completely different. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', [[Ariel]] joins [[Sora]] as a party member and things carry out much like in any other world, with the exception that the controls are different to fit Sora's new form. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Sora doesn't change form at all, and the world is treated just like all other worlds.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Sora doesn't change form at all, and the world is treated just like all other worlds. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', possibly the biggest change is seen; only two areas are able to be travelled and the story is not progressed by battling enemies, but by singing. | ||
''Kingdom Hearts'' gives Atlantica a sprawling design that requires certain special abilities to navigate successfully. [[Sora]] and company arrive in the '''Tranquil Grotto''', where Ariel and Flounder host the swimming tutorial. From there, the party travels forward, practicing battle in the '''Undersea Valley''', following the trident marks to their final destination. One exit leads to the ironically-named '''Calm Depths''', which plays host to a swift moving current that pushes Sora and his party around unless they use Ariel's dolphin friend or obtain the [[Mermaid Kick]] ability. The Mermaid Kick ability replaces the Dolphin originally required to get through the calm depths. Following the trident mark here takes the group to the '''Undersea Cave''' with a strong current of its own. Making it past the current leads to the '''Undersea Gorge''', a vast area which leads to several other places in Atlantica. On the opposite side of the gorge are the entrances to '''Ariel's Grotto''' and, under the crate, the end of a hidden tunnel that leads to the '''Sunken Ship'''. Somewhere in the middle is the entrance to '''Triton's Palace''' and the '''Throne Room''' within. Also there, but easily missed, is the '''Undersea Garden''', hidden to the left of the Palace entrance. | ''Kingdom Hearts'' gives Atlantica a sprawling design that requires certain special abilities to navigate successfully.

Meanwhile, Ariel is approached by Ursula, who promises the mermaid princess that she can help her get to "other worlds", but in order to do so, she needs Triton's trident; she also reveals during this time that Sora, Donald, and Goofy are from another world. Ariel steals it and gives it Ursula, who uses it to injure Triton before retreating to her lair. Sora, Donald, and Goofy go in pursuit, and Ariel accompanies them, wanting to atone for their mistakes. Ursula escapes from her lair, but Ariel gives Sora a new power that will help him and the party get to Ursula and defeat her for good. Ursula receives a swift kick in the tentacles from Sora and his gang; they return the trident to Triton. He and Ariel open up the world's Keyhole, which Sora promptly seals. | Meanwhile, Ariel is approached by Ursula, who promises the mermaid princess that she can help her get to "other worlds", but in order to do so, she needs Triton's trident; she also reveals during this time that Sora, Donald, and Goofy are from another world.

Preceding this, Ariel asks Sora what [[Destiny Islands|his world]] is like, and Sora takes this opportunity to apologize for lying to her. Ariel forgives him with a smile, confident that she can find a way to travel to other worlds just as Sora had. | |||

Like in the original film, Ariel is swimming on the surface shortly after a storm, and is horrified to see a young man, [[Prince Eric]], floating on the remains of a ship. She brings him to the shore and falls in love with him, and, after singing a love song to him, returns to the ocean just as he regains consciousness. | ||
Sometime later, Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and are reunited with Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder; though Donald and Goofy quickly re-adapt to their sea creature forms, Sora has difficulty due to his year spent in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_animation suspended animation], so Ariel and co. help him. Sebastian then reveals that Ariel has been very depressed lately, and asks Sora, Donald, and Goofy to participate in the annual musical, hoping that their presence might get Ariel to lighten up. They agree, and perform "[[Swim This Way]]" fantastically, and once again meet Triton, who supports Sebastian's idea of having Sora and co. participate with Ariel in the musical. | Sometime later, Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and are reunited with Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder; though Donald and Goofy quickly re-adapt to their sea creature forms, Sora has difficulty due to his year spent in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_animation suspended animation], so Ariel and co. help him.
