Monstro's innards serve as a world in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and as a subworld of [[Prankster's Paradise]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. Monstro himself serves as the boss of the [[Monster of the Sea]] battle in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix''.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Monstro will intercept and swallow the [[Gummi Ship]] when travelling to [[Atlantica]] or [[Halloween Town]] for the first time. If one leaves Monstro and tries to go a different direction, they'll be caught by Monstro again and he'll appear twice on the World Map. After defeating the [[Parasite Cage]], Monstro's position on the World Map will be fixed at one location. On subsequent visits, Monstro will only have a 50% chance to appear. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', Monstro will always appear when using Warp Drive, or when using Normal Drive while already at Monstro's location.

Monstro is so enormous that its playable map is bigger than that of some other worlds, such as [[Wonderland]]. If one leaves Monstro and tries to go a different direction, they'll be caught by Monstro again and he'll appear twice on the map. Sometimes, attempting to return to Monstro will not work, as Monstro will temporarily leave his spot; [[Goofy]] will express his relief at this and the party will have to come back later.
Monstro has one of the most confusing layouts of any world; it is essentially an interconnecting maze. It takes a lot of patience and a little ingenuity to traverse through Monstro. Many openings lead into different parts of the same room, allowing for much confusion of anyone trying to work their way through. As the surfaces in each area look the same, the only visual differences in the Chambers are the ledges, the treasures, and the occasional Barrel and debris found in them. In addition, the Chambers are marked only with numbers and are not traveled through in numerical order. Finally, Monstro defies anatomy as it is known, so natural assumptions such as going "down" to reach his stomach, for example, do not hold (the party has to climb up his throat).

[[Sora]] and his party enter through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Mouth}}'''|口|Kuchi}}, the largest room in the world. Here, among the piles of wood and shipwrecks, the party will come across [[Geppetto]] and [[Pinocchio]], as well as one of the world's [[Save Point]]s. Troublesome Pinocchio leads the party down the into the whale's innards.

Returning to the Mouth and using [[High Jump]] - which can be a found in a chest near Geppetto at this point - the party can at last reach the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Throat}}'''|のど|Nodo}}, a tall, pink chamber with a series of ledges to ascend. At the top, the party can reach the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Stomach}}'''|胃袋|Ibukuro}} and the second boss battle against the Parasite Cage.

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' a memory version of Monstro can be explored at [[Castle Oblivion]]. The world is explored through boxed-in areas which draw inspirations from the various Chambers from the previous game. In cutscenes, areas such as '''{{a|Chamber 6}}''' and the '''{{a|Mouth}}''' are visited. The battle against the [[Parasite Cage]] takes place in an area similar to the {{a|Stomach}}, though the floor is mostly covered in stomach acid and there are no platforms along the wall to jump on. Lastly Sora visits an area similar to the {{a|Throat}} during a rumble against some [[Shadow]]s. However, the area is a lot bigger with a circular arena in the middle.

{{Main|Prankster's Paradise}}
Monstro appears within the dream of Prankster's Paradise, where he yet again swallows Geppetto, Pinocchio, and Jiminy. The whale is soon after frozen by the [[Chill Clawbster]]. Sora battles the [[Dream Eater]] atop the ice, and in the course of the battle, he frees Monstro and shortly encases him in a bubble to chase after the Dream Eater. When they catch up to the Chill Clawbster, Monstro escapes the bubble and swallows the Nightmare, blowing Sora away in the process.
