Differences

• Rather than tossing the Keyblade back to Sora, Riku causes it to re-materialize in Sora's hands.
• The destruction of Radiant Garden is covered with more detail, including a scene with Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith as children.
• Aerith does not appear until Sora's second visit to Traverse Town.
• The order of worlds post Wonderland differs from the order in game. Instead of heading to either Olympus Coliseum or Deep Jungle (which is omitted), the group returns to Traverse Town. This variation continues with Agrabah, then Olympus Coliseum, and finally Monstro.
• Aladdin uses his first wish to save Sora and his friends from a pit of quicksand, rather than to eliminate a swarm of Heartless. He uses his second wish to save Goofy, not Jasmine.
• Sora, Donald, and Goofy never visit Agrabah, they head straight to the Cave of Wonders.
• The Pot Centipede does not appear
• Maleficent takes Jasmine, rather than Riku.
• Abu's vocal sounds are subtitled with actual lines.
• Cid communicates with the trio by a video transmission.
