==Settings and Areas==
The Toy Box consists of two main areas: Andy's House and Galaxy Toys.
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
The world of Toy Box consists of two main areas: Andy's House, which is a decently small area, and Galaxy Toys, a large shopping center where the majority of the world's story take place.


===Andy's House===
====Andy's House====
{{nihongo|'''Andy's House'''|アンディの家|Andi no Ie}} is a small, self-contained area where Sora's party arrives in the world, consisting solely of Andy's bedroom where [[Woody]], [[Buzz Lightyear]], and all the other toys normally reside, and the street directly in front of the house. The party can go out one of two windows from the bedroom: one next to the bed which leads to the garage roof, and the other over the desk which leads to the front yard. Once outside, the party can use a trampoline situated in front of the garage to return to the bedroom. Going down either side of the street leads to the next area.

[[File:Galaxy Toys 01 KHIII.png|thumb|left|220px|The front side of the Galaxy Toys building.]]
{{nihongo|'''Galaxy Toys'''|ギャラクシートイズ|Gyarakushī Toizu}}, a game-original area, is a three-story shopping mall where the majority of the world is set. This area is unique in that the party will be attacked by toys possessed by the [[Heartless]], primarily the [[Gigas]] mech toys, which can be hijacked by Sora once defeated. Inactive Gigas are also found on display podiums throughout the building to be used at any time.

Directly inside the front doors is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Main Floor: 1F}}'''|ホール:1F|Hōru: 1F|lit. "Hall: 1F"}}, where access to the upper levels is available via the rails on the giant toy vending machine in the center of the room. The red rail leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Main Floor: 2F}}'''|ホール:2F|Hōru: 2F|lit. "Hall: 2F"}}, which has two open sections: one is called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Action Figures}}'''|キャラクターグッズコーナー|Kyarakutā Guzzu Kōnā|lit.

"Hall: 3F"}}, as does the green railing, which leads to a small alcove in the ceiling. The third floor has three available sections: {{nihongo|'''{{a|Babies & Toddlers: Dolls}}'''|ベビートイ:ドールズ|Bebī Toi: Dōruzu|lit. "Baby Toy: Dolls"}}, a doll section where the party finds the [[Green Army Men]] and [[Hamm]] before fighting [[Angelic Amber]]; a play place called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Babies & Toddlers: Outdoors}}'''|ベビートイ:アウトドア|Bebī Toi: Autodoa|lit. "Baby Toy: Outdoor"}}; and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Video Games}}'''|テレビゲームコーナー|Terebi Gēmu Kōnā|lit. "Video Game Corner"}}, where Sora may play the [[Verum Rex: Beat of Lead]] minigame. From the play place, the party can enter an indoor playground called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Kid Korral}}'''|キッズスペース|Kizzu Supēsu|lit. "Kids' Space"}}, where Sora must reach a [[Corridor of Darkness]] left by [[Young Xehanort]] by building a giant {{ff|Cactuar}} from magnetic blocks, leading to a battle against the [[King of Toys]] Heartless.
