Much of The Grid is designed the same. The beginning area for Sora, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|City}}'''|街|Machi}}, features numerous tall structures, streets, crosswalks and large slopes that allow vehicles passage to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Throughput}}'''|連絡通路|Renraku Tsūro}}. The Throughput appears similar to an urban, digital plateau, with numerous hexagonal and octagonal platforms risen. Beyond this area is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Bridge}}'''|橋|Hashi}}, a closed area that encompasses only part of the long-passing bridge of '''Tron City'''. Taking the Recognizer in the previous area leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Docks}}'''|地下ドック|Chika Dokku|lit. "Underground Dock"}}, a large hexagonal platform with a central elevator and two Solar Sailers ready for departure. The upper levels of this area feature a number of turrets, locked gates and another elevator. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Solar Sailer}}'''|ソーラーセイラー|Sōrā Seirā}} carries numerous open cargo containers, with turrets that must be destroyed to fully traverse this area. Ahead of this is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Rectifier 1F}}'''|レクティファイア1F|Rekutifaia 1F}}, the first floor of CLU's massive ship. A large amount of cargo containers are scattered in the area, with some planes along the side, a small hall to the left is the entryway to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Rectifier 2F}}'''|レクティファイア2F|Rekutifaia 2F}}, the second floor of CLU's ship which is a number of walkways above the first floor with a Recognizer that allows passage to an area non-accessible by foot. Additionally, there is an elevator in the area that leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Throneship}}'''|スローンシップ|Surōnshippu}}, CLU's personal command ship. It has three rooms, the first being the entry, colored orange, the second being a light blue but darkly-lit room where numerous Black Guards spawn and finally, a large triangular-shaped orange room that houses Flynn's Identity Disk.

Among these areas are four areas that are not exclusively part of the city, the first is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Arena}}'''|スタジアム|Sutajiamu|lit. "Stadium"}}, a small octagonal area where Sora battles Rinzler. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Portal: Stairs}}'''|ポータル:エントランス|Pōtaru: Entoransu|lit. "Portal: Entrance"}}, a long path with numerous turrets and a save point and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Portal}}'''|ポータル|Pōtaru}}, a large circular platform. Finally, there is the '''Light Cycle Arena''', a wide arena with a race track encompassing it.

Before [[Radiant Garden]]'s fall, [[Ansem the Wise]] had come upon the Grid and copied its data at the time to create [[Space Paranoids]] for both his world's town maintenance and for his personal research. When the [[Heartless]] began invading the [[Realm of Light]], The Grid was one of the worlds that was swallowed in [[darkness]]. Although it was freed from the [[Realm of Darkness]] after [[Sora]] defeated [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and purged the [[End of the World]], The Grid remained asleep as one of the [[Sleeping Worlds]], plagued by Nightmares.

Like in Space Paranoids, Sora and Riku are converted into data and change forms accordingly. The forms resemble the outfits worn by other characters in the film. They both wear dark blue suits with light blue circuitry and visors characteristic of participants in the Grid's Disk Wars competition. Sora's form also slightly resembles his [[Form:Sora#Space Paranoids version|Space Paranoids design]], but without the prongs.
