The | The pre-install demo episode released on November 8, 2008 in Japan on the Docomo PRIME Series "P-01A" mobile phone. The first full episode was released on June 3, 2009, with seven more episodes releasing monthly until January 28, 2010. The international release was quietly canceled due to mobile technology not improving at the rate it needed to for international players to feasibly play the game at the time. This game was an experiment into the free-to-play business model, as all episodes were included in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Mobile]]''. All episodes were taken down on April 30, 2013 and are currently unavailable, though the game lives on with ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''. | ||

{{canon| | |||
Data-Sora visits [[Olympus Coliseum]] to give [[Hercules]] a [[paopu fruit]], as he had heard that Hercules is in love with [[Megara|a woman]]. When he arrives, Hercules is out with the woman, leaving Data-Sora to defend [[Phil]] and the Coliseum from waves of Heartless. | |||
When the hero returns, Data-Sora finds that his gift is missing. He explains the situation, and Phil chastises Hercules for spending time on relationships instead of training. On his way out of the Coliseum, Phil finds the paopu fruit lying on the ground. Unaware of what the fruit is, Phil decides to eat it; he describes it as salty, but sweet, and notes that he would like to share some of it with Hercules. | |||
