::Still, I always felt that often some of worlds' names are deliberately avoided in the game's dialogue when they don't appear in the source material. At least in my mind Jiminy's makes them up together with the room names. Other than that the suggestion from the reddit thread, that theese name appear on a display in the Gummi Ship, is another safe bet. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 00:13, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

I've read the novel again (and am now reading the CoM novel), but they only use the names of worlds that have been used by other characters (like Agrabah and Hollow Bastion). For worlds like Wonderland, only the narrator calls it that. In fact, in the CoM novel, they keep calling the world "Alice's World", although the chapter is called Wonderland. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 14:08, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
::I'm fairly certain I remember Donald saying the words "Wonderland", and Sora saying "Deep Jungle". Can you check again for these two?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 14:58, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
:::Sora does say that the Heartless in Wonderland were stronger than in Traverse Town, but he also says "It's like a land of wonders" before that, so he may have made that name up. I haven't checked Deep Jungle and the later chapters yet. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 15:44, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
:This actually shows up in Days as well, on Day 78: "Xion: Then this must have been his castle all along. Beast's Castle. He must be the beast. Do you think he's fighting the Heartless, like us?"{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 14:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
==Pretty==
Pretty sure Sora used a Corridor in the first game to escape his doomed world, although he hardly did it on purpose. ~ [[Special:Contributions/68.54.136.206|68.54.136.206]] 00:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
==Cloak==
{{unbirthtalk|text=It's said in Re:CoM that the organization cloak protects the users of corridors from Darkness.}}
{{TNE|text=In other words, protecting them from their hearts being consumed by the darkness of the Corridors. But someone wanted to see if something was "true" - what '''was''' that something ?}}
{{unbirthtalk|text=I think this person wanted a proof of the fact that corridors haven't any effects on Sora, and if the way between Twilight Town and TWTNW was really one of them.}}
{{TNE|blahtext=About that......
'''Corridors not having any effect on Sora :''' There are two events which support this. One is the spiriting away of Sora from his home island to Traverse Town. He was taken by force through a Corridor of Darkness, but that did not render his heart any weaker. The second is the time when Sora, Donald and Goofy were dragged into the Corridors of Darkness by Maleficent. Sora pretty much survived in there without his heart getting weakened, even without a Black Cloak, while Riku needed one (after his careless usage of the Corridors in the first KH).
'''Betwixt and Between :''' For that, I can't really say. I don't think it is. See, both worlds are actually in the Realm of In Between. And from what we see in Betwixt, there are very few traces of darkness (if there are any, methinks it should come from that portal at the end leading to TWNTW). And there's light coming out from the end leading to Twilight Town. So technically, it isn't a Corridor of Darkness.
Man, whoever asked for proof on those two has to come here. I haven't seen a trace of him ever since he last posted on the Corridor of Darkness article...}}
{{Xiggie|text=I thought that only a frequent user of the Corridors became corrupt. So I think that's the reason why Sora and co. didn't get... eh... darker.}}
{{TNE|text=That isn't always the case. At first, it seems hard to understand how Riku, for instance, is so tolerant to the Corridors. That could be because he accepted both light and darkness. However, it should be noted that during his second time in the Corridors, after the tiff with Sora in Neverland, he returned to Hollow Bastion hoping that it'd give him a quicker way out - and his heart was significantly weakened.
As for Sora, he seemed to be unaffected during his second time in the Corridors.}}
{{KrytenKoro|One must remember than in Neverland, he was in heated argument with Sora, and was summoning darkness. His heart would hardly be an example of balance, hard for the darkness to prey on. Sora, however, wasn't even conscious the first time, and all of his emotions were wiped by his surprise when Maleficent did it. Maybe it functions like Occlumency in Harry Potter - if you can keep balance, and not be troubled, it's harder to affect you.
The time in the first game did give him some darkness, though - how else would he be able to become a Shadow?}}
{{TNE|text=But here's another thought : Sora isn't a pure-hearted guy unlike Kairi. There is a measure of darkness in him. It's that measure of darkness which enables him to become a Shadow, so what difference will it make when he goes through the Corridors ?}}
== KH2 door ==
Not sure where I should put this, since it's neither the Door to Darkness nor the Door to Light. Maybe we should list it under "Realm Between", since that's where it appears. Do the Ultimanias give it an official name?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 21:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
[[File:Kingdom Hearts' Door 03 KHII.png|thumb|right|200x200px|The Door to Kingdom Hearts in The World That Never Was.]]
[[File:Door To Darkness KHII.png|thumb|right|200x200px|The Door to Kingdom Hearts.]]
After Xemnas escapes Sora and his friends at the [[Altar of Naught]] by merging with his Kingdom Hearts, a door similar to the Door To Darkness appears, leading to [[the World of Nothing]] Xemnas has created within. Mickey states that the door was a gift from the worlds, who have accepted Sora as their keeper. Sora and the others pass through the door, and after they seemingly defeat Xemnas they return once more to the Altar of Naught, where [[Naminé]] opens a final [[Corridor of Darkness]] to Destiny Islands. Just as Kairi passes through the portal, Xemnas returns on his gigantic Nobody and attacks the tower, dragging Sora and Riku back into the World of Nothing. This time, however, they do not pass through the door.

==Time travel==
Since it's not a method of traveling between worlds, it shouldn't be in the travel section. Not sure where to put it, though:
**[[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Young Xehanort]] are two characters capable of traversing through time in a different manner, although the exact means of travel are still unknown. There are many limitations involving this method of time travel. To unlock the ability, Xehanort had to abandon his body, which was achieved when he was split into a Heartless and Nobody. The individual may then travel to an intitial destination where and when a version of themselves existed in some form (i.e. complete person, Heartless, or Nobody). However, any futher jumps in time after the intial point can only be done in a forward direction "with the flow of time."  While time travelling in this way, the character cannot alter events that have already occurred. Eventually, the traveler will be forcibly returned to their original time with all memories associated with the time travel supposedly erased.

== Gates ==
Do we have anything clarifying the relationship between the Gates, the Keyholes, and the Lanes Between?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:56, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
:Also, is there any way we could get a gallery of the Gate triggers, to replace the list?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 17:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Not that I know of, no. Still, why did you remove the Birth by Sleep line? It uses almost the [http://www.youtubemultiplier.com/570ff2e9152b9-kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-gate.php same animation]. What else would it be? --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 19:50, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
::It looked like a Lane between to me, but I see the resemblance now.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Honestly...the way they descripe Gates, Gummi routes, and Lanes between, it all sounds the same: either a Keyblade wielder, or the destruction of a wall, opens a hole for entities to pass through the walls. Any entity can pass once these are opened, and you can use a Keyblade Glider, Gummi Ship, or any other vessel (Deep Space and Neverland) to travel. Or you can simply walk through, like Vanitas, Aqua, and the Foretellers did, though that's probably more dangerous. The only difference between Gates and Lanes between seems to be how the hole gets opened in the first place -- either the world's Keyhole guides a Keyblade apprentice to open just one or two holes to the next world, or a Keyblade Master, like Eraqus, purposefully opens them all for his apprentices. Since these are so closely linked with Gummi ships, I feel like we should merge the sections -- we really only have three methods of travel in the end.
*Passing through holes in the walls using a vehicle
*Using a Corridor of Darkness
*Teleporting (if that's even what Merlin is doing, rather than just walking through like the Foretellers did).
{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:29, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
::Does the Memorial Ultimania define the lanes, gates, and gummi routes ''at all''? If not, I'm unsure what to name the combined section -- unless we call it "Lanes between", and simply mention that, like the Gummi routes, anything that knows where the holes in the wall are can pass through them.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
:::There is little information in the Memorial Ultimania on those things, you can find a very rough translation [http://kh13.com/news/information-from-the-kingdom-hearts-series-memorial-ultimania-translated here]. The original pages are here: [http://i.imgur.com/5y7bGS2.jpg], [http://i.imgur.com/cbvdtxL.jpg], [http://i.imgur.com/Cci4OhD.jpg], [http://i.imgur.com/dlijy0K.jpg]. There is probably a connection between these travel methods, it just wasn't explained yet. Also there is the case of Betwixt and Between. It's seen both when Kairi leaves Destiny Islands and when Sora enters the corridor in the basement of the Old Mansion. Are these the "lanes" the Corridors of Darkness use? I'll see I can do about the rest of the Gate items, but that's really low priority at the moment. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 00:08, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
::::Could we get a screenshot of the innards of Betwixt and Between, then? Or is there official concept art?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 21:01, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
;Notes
Eraqus: So here we are. I need you two to get this situation under control.
Eliminate the Unversed, and find Master Xehanort. I have unlocked the Lanes
Between. You may use these forbidden pathways to travel between this world and
countless others. The darkness looms closer than usual within these spaces,
but your armor will protect you. Lastly, remember that order must be kept. You
cannot tell anyone there are other worlds. Now go, and fulfill your duty.
Xehanort's Report II
Our Master instructed us to don armor while traveling between worlds, so that we might shield ourselves from the darkness. But there, in the Lanes Between, I could feel the force of it—the power—and from then on, I forwent my armor's "protection." I had been told the darkness would devour me, but what terrors could it possibly hold, so long as I found the strength to control it?
The World is vast—and the worlds within the greater World, uncountable. Like little islands, they dot a great Ocean Between which keeps them ignorant of each other, uncorrupted.
Each world had its own order. Unlike us, they could not know of the World in its entirety, and we were never to enlighten them.
Xehanort's Report V
At present, the lanes and corridors that run between the worlds may only be traversed by us Keyblade wielders, and those who have given themselves over to darkness.
As the former, our duty is to cross the chasms between worlds and guard against the latter, whose darkness corrupts and contaminates, so that no world need ever be lost again.
Few Keyblade wielders remain now; I have heard of but a handful of others outside my circle. But the World is vast, and more of our kind may be out there.
Now, in addition to the realm of light in which we reside, there is also a realm of darkness, and the realm between which connects the two. The realm of darkness is most forbidden; I am told none who set foot there have ever returned.
;Federation Council transport ship
*Terra passed a spaceship in the Lanes Between and was taken into custody for
suspicious activity. When Unversed appeared outside his cell, however, he broke
out. After neutralizing the threat, he met Dr. Jumba, creator of the most
powerful being in the universe---so powerful, in fact, that he could even take
on the Unversed. Unfortunately, this feat of "genius" had landed both Dr. Jumba
and his creation, Experiment 626, in the slammer.
;you can go into the Lanes without armor or glider:
*At the first chance he got, Terra opened a portal to the Lanes Between and
tossed Ven inside. Then he and Eraqus clashed, fighting until they both hardly
had the strength to stand. Only then, battered and wounded, did Terra calm down
and realize what he had done. He stepped closer to his Master to beg
forgiveness, but Eraqus slumped forward and faded away, leaving only his
Keyblade behind. Terra looked up, stunned, and saw Master Xehanort.
*Ven's body was drifting through the Lanes Between; Aqua was next to him,
unconscious. Mickey found them and used the Star Shard to spirit them all to
safety.
:I'm reading the 358/2 Days Manga, and the insides of the Corridors of Darkness look exactly like Betwixt and Between, with the Nobody symbols and stuff, so I think Betwixt and Between is a Corridor of Darkness. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:04, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
==Riku and the door==
If all of the barriers were already broken by the Heartless, then why did Riku have to open the door to Destiny Islands in order for the Heartless to show up? What did opening the door do if it didn't crumble the barrier? --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 18:51, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if we're talking about semantics here but there is a difference between the barriers of a world disappearing and the heart of a world being consumed by darkness. What Riku did was opening the way for the Heartless to the world's heart but the Heartless were able to show up before because they are not stopped by the barriers (as seen in KHII). In fact the moment the barrier of Destiny Islands was destroyed should have been the night of the meteor shower years before.
:The Ansem report are also very vague on this but if these two events really were the same, we wouldn't have been able to visit any other world in the first game. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 21:06, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
::Opening the doors to worlds causes their Gummi barriers to crumble. But, the Heartless already destroyed all of the Gummi barriers around the worlds. Since this is the case, then why would Riku have to open the door to Destiny Islands? Opening a door to a world's heart does nothing aside from cause the Gummi barriers to crumble. They've already been crumbled though, so what did Riku opening the door do? The Heartless don't need a world's door to be opened in order to get its heart. It just the worlds' Keyholes to be unlocked, which they are until Sora goes around locking them. And in order for a bunch of Heartless to arrive at a world, the Gummi barrier needs to be broken. A hoard of Heartless showed up on Destiny Islands after Riku opened the door. "The islands you grew up on were sundered, scattered... Many hearts were lost to the darkness. Because of what YOU did!" "You hated being an islander, cut off from other worlds. So you opened the door to darkness and destroyed the islands. YOU did that! And now you belong to the darkness. Look at what you are!" - Zexion to Riku
::These quotes wouldn't make sense if what Riku did didn't cause the Heartless to show up. But, what Riku did shouldn't have done anything. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 14:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
:::But the Heartless can show up either way, so that's not the issue. They appear in Hollow Bastion before the door is opened (see Ansem reports) and they appear all throughout KHII when the barriers are intact again.I think there are two possible options: Either the barrier was already gone and opening the door (again) lured the Heartless directly to the world's heart, resulting in DI being consumed by darkness and Zexion being factually correct. The other option is that Riku's action only destroyed the barrier, which might have not be gone already but there is no meteor shower in the game to prove that. Either way it could also have attracted the Heartless who consumed the world's heart in the process very fast.
:::In the end opening the door resulted in the demise of DI. Maybe the Heartless would have done it themselves given time, but we'll never know that. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:55, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
::::Yeah, Heartless can still show up in a world with its Gummi barriers up. I meant that the Gummi barriers had to be destroyed in order for a whole hoard of Heartless to show up, since it makes it easier for them to show up. But yeah, you're completely right. The answer could be either of those two options. I'd say it's most likely that opening the door lured the Heartless since it's been stated a few times in the first game that all the Gummi barriers were broken prior by the Heartless. --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 22:23, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
:::::I actually just found an interview with Nomura that confirms that all opening the door did, was lure the Heartless in.
:::::'''[http://kh-info-block.tumblr.com/tagged/KHIINom —Speaking of “opening the door”, I'm going to move the subject to the previous game. Why when Riku opened Destiny Island's door, this accidentally called the darkness? Do the powers of Keyblade wielders that are called “Heroes of Light” are connected to darkness?]'''
:::::'''[http://kh-info-block.tumblr.com/tagged/KHIINom Nomura:]''' ''[http://kh-info-block.tumblr.com/tagged/KHIINom Currently Sora and co. are the only Keyblade wielders and they're doing things that grant them the titles “Heroes of Light” but, as stated in the first game's Ansem Report #8 and the secret movie this time, the real Keyblade wielders “can bring chaos to the world, just as one can bring peace to it.”]'' --[[User:Elfdemon|Elfdemon]] ([[User talk:Elfdemon|talk]]) 21:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

== Org XIII Capturing Hearts ==
I suppose it isn't ''directly'' confirmed, but someone on the KH subreddit said Org XIII captures hearts in Days and KH2 by using corridors of darkness to transport freed hearts (from defeated Emblems) to their artifical KH. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/ww2iS3d3GRE?t=33066
Do we have enough sold info to add it to the page, or does that qualify as speculation? --[[User:Mikoto|Mikoto]] ([[User talk:Mikoto|talk]]) 22:12, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
== Door to Light ==
If I recall correctly, Nomura confirmed somewhere that the light of Sora's heart, brought out by Kairi's letter, was what opened the Door to Light at the end of KH2. But I can't find the source for that now. Anyone have it? --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 04:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
:I think this is what you're referring to?
:'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''', Question III'': "This means that in the ending Sora and Riku are looking at an ocean in the Realm of Darkness from a beach in the Realm Between. This also means that the scene of the door appearing in the ocean of darkness at the end was symbolic of Sora's "deep down, there's a light that never goes out" line from the first game." —[[User:Aid1043|Aid1043]] ([[User talk:Aid1043|talk]]) 13:34, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
::Close, but not quite. This would in regards to Sora asking Riku why the door appeared in the after credits scene from KH2, and Riku gesturing at his heart.  I swear, in some interview somewhere, someone asked how they got out of there... --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 21:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
:::Maybe the Memorial Ultimania? This is a translation of the Japanese version, not the official English release, but it's close: "When Sora and Riku were lost in the Realm of Darkness, they found hope in a letter they received from Kairi and were then able to find the Door of Light." —[[User:Aid1043|Aid1043]] ([[User talk:Aid1043|talk]]) 21:26, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
::::No, this specifically mentioned the light of Sora's heart opening the door. IDK, maybe I made it up after all, lol. --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 08:04, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
