Trivia

  • While Theater Mode was first introduced in the Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, its American debut was not until the release of Re: Chain of Memories.
  • It is currently unknown if Kingdom Hearts coded and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep will contain Theater Mode. It is likely, however, since this feature has carried on through the more recent additions to the series outside from the Final Mixes.
