'''Timeless River''' is a world from the past in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Entered through a door in the Hall of the Cornerstone at [[Disney Castle]], Timeless River is an area back in time to when the world was still monochrome and the Castle had not been built. It is largely based on the 1928 short ''[[wikipedia:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]]'', as well as many other classic Disney shorts. Mono (single channel) sound is used in this world, as well as an audio filter which adds static and pops to game sounds, reminiscent of the original short film.

[[Pete]] comes to the Timeless River as part of a wish to return to simpler days, which [[Maleficent]] takes advantage of and works into her plans. [[Heartless]] invade the sacred land and capture the [[Cornerstone of Light]]. This is because the Disney Castle of the future wouldn't have any way to protect itself leaving it vulnerable to the Heartless. The Heartless found in the Timeless River are surrealistic and bizarre. Many of them are toy-like. Instances include the [[Hot Rod]], which is a cartoonish car, and the [[Aeroplane]], which is a toy airplane.
