There are over twenty worlds that have appeared in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series so far. Most of them are based on [[wikipedia:The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]'s animated features and contain locations and characters from or inspired by the films. As a result, worlds are greatly varied in apperance, style, and nature, as their sources range from the oldest cartoons created by Disney to more current movies in the Disney canon. The oldest source is the 1928 cartoon "[[wikipedia:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]]", used as a basis for [[Timeless River]], while the most recent inspiration for a world from Disney's animated features is 1999's ''[[wikipedia:Tarzan (1999 film)|Tarzan]]'', the source for [[Deep Jungle]]. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', two live-action films, ''[[wikipedia:Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Tron (film)|Tron]]'' served as the foundation for the worlds [[Port Royal]] and [[Space Paranoids]]. | There are over twenty worlds that have appeared in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series so far.

Some worlds have names that don't seem to accurately reflect what is found there. A famous example is [[Neverland]] in ''Kingdom Hearts''; Sora and company get to go through [[Captain Hook]]'s ship and fly around the Clock Tower, but never actually reach the island Neverland where [[Peter Pan]] and [[Tinker Bell]] live. To further confuse things, some worlds in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' contain what could almost be considered sublevels or second worlds within them, such as the [[Underworld]] at [[Olympus Coliseum]] or [[Christmas Town]] in [[Halloween Town]]. | Some worlds have names that don't seem to accurately reflect what is found there.

''Kingdom Hearts'' had six such worlds with party members. | In certain worlds, a character from that area will be available to fight, and can replace [[Donald Duck|Donald]] or [[Goofy]] in the party.
