In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' games, each '''Star''' is a specific world. Should a star stop shining, that would mean that particular world has disappeared from existence, most likely from destruction by the Heartless.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', many stars disappeared. In [[Mickey's Letter#First Letter|Mickey's first letter to Donald]], Mickey mentions the fact that the stars have been disappearing, one by one, and that he left to find the cause. When Donald and Goofy first arrived at Traverse Town, they discovered a star corresponding [[Destiny Islands]] fade out of existence. Some of them were restored after Sora and his friends stopped [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s plan to plunge the world into darkness, but others remained submerged in sleep as part of the [[Sleeping Worlds]].
