{{nihongo|'''Traverse Town'''|トラヴァースタウン|Toravāsu Taun}} is the first major playable [[World|world]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' outside of [[Destiny Islands]]. A quaint and calm town, Traverse Town features a sky of eternal night, where stars can be seen clearly.  Survivors of the worlds lost to the [[Heartless]] take shelter here after their world has been destroyed.


[[Squall Leonhart|Leon]], [[Yuffie Kisaragi|Yuffie]], [[Aerith Gainsborough|Aerith]], [[Cid Highwind|Cid]], [[Merlin]], the [[Fairy Godmother]], [[Pinocchio]] and [[Geppetto]] are notable residents. [[Huey]], [[Dewey]] and [[Louie]] own the item shop, while Cid owns the accessory shop and later sells [[Gummi Blocks]] to upgrade and modify Gummi Ships. [[Moogle]]s also take residence here, where they successfully run a mysterious workshop.  Merlin allows [[Sora]] to practice his magic on neutral targets, and the Fairy Godmother unlocks [[Summons]] after certain conditions are met.
Traverse Town is the first place [[Sora]] lands after he is drawn out of the disappearing [[Destiny Islands]].
==Locations==
Traverse Town is similar to a Victorian-age town in terms design and layout. It is divided into three major districts along with several minor locations such as alleyways and caves. Besides being created from fragments of destroyed worlds and serving as a home to those who's worlds have been destroyed by the Heartless, Traverse Town is also a great place to shop.
===First District===
[[Image:Traverse Town.jpg|thumb|The First District.]]
The '''First District''' is the most peaceful of the three, without the presence of [[Heartless]] (with the exception of the first episode, where Heartless can even be found here after Sora searches for Riku and Kairi). The First District is where most survivors of the destroyed worlds can be found. The most notable locations include the '''Accessory shop''' owned and managed by [[Cid]], the '''Item shop''' run by [[Huey]], [[Dewey]] and [[Louie]], and a '''Synthesis Workshop''' run by [[Moogle]]s on the top floor of Cid's store. There is a restaurant with magical self-lighting candles to the left of the town entrance, and Geppetto and Pinocchio move into a green-doored house nearby after the [[Monstro]] world is completed. The mailbox used in the [[Postcard]] hunt is also found here, close to the door leading into the Third District. Directly across from the accessory shop is a large set of double-doors which serve as the entrance to the town and can return the player to the world map to choose another world to travel to.
===Second District===
[[Image:Traverse_Town_(Second_District).jpg|thumb|The Second District.]]
The '''Second District''' is infested with a variety of Heartless. Notable locations include the '''Gizmo Shop''' (a bell on the roof can eventually be rung three times in order to reveal the world's Keyhole), and the '''Dalmatian's House''', where [[Pongo]] and [[Perdita]] have settled due to the destruction of their world.  The '''Hotel''' is on the west side of the district and is often invaded by Heartless, but can be entered through the '''Lobby'''; in addition, the '''Red Room''' and '''Green Room''' are located within the Hotel, where Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] are briefed by Leon and Aerith. The east side of town includes the entrance to the Third District, as well as a set of roofs that can be climbed to reach treasures and a hidden entrance to a balcony in the Third District.
====Gizmo Shop====
The [[Keyhole]] for Traverse Town was hidden, but revealed only after the bell atop the Gizmo Shop tolled thrice (the bell can be accessed by climbing a ladder at the Gizmo Shop's exit, then by activating a [[Trinity Mark|Red Trinity mark]] to break down the barrier).  The Keyhole is located in a fountain near the First District entrance.  When the player approaches the Keyhole he/she will have to fight [[Guard Armor]] and [[Opposite Armor]] before sealing it off.
Inside the Shop there is a [[Trinity Mark]]. This can be accessed by using '''Thunder''' on the broken wires in the Third District. There are raised platforms in the Shop; the player should jump up on each to gain access to the Trinity Mark and some chests. After activating the Trinity Mark, the player should then examine the clock inside the Gizmo Shop; it is stuck at 6:54. The player will then gain two postcards.
===Third District===
[[Image: KH-TraverseTown_ThirdDistrict.jpg|thumb|right|The Third District.]]
The '''Third District''' is a plaza also overrun with [[Heartless]], but is the smallest of the three main districts. Notable areas include the '''Vacant House''' next to the Second District's door, which [[Leon]] and his crew eventually claim as the '''Small House''', their headquarters. The most notable feature in this district is the golden fountain in the corner of the lower area, which depicts an image from Disney's 1955 film, <i>[[wikipedia:Lady and the Tramp|Lady and the Tramp]]</i>. In another corner, a short alley leads to a door with a flame on it that goes to the '''Mystical House''', and in turn the '''Magician's Study''', where Merlin and the Fairy Godmother take up residence. The book that serves as the entrance to the '''[[100 Acre Wood]]''' can also be found in the study. Casting [[Thunder]] on the exposed cable wire raises the platforms in the Second District '''Gizmo Shop'''. Finally, a keyhole next to the giant door to First District can also be found and unlocked for faster access to that area.
===Other Areas===
The '''Back Alley''' (or the '''Alleyway''') is accessible through the Second District; by leaping over the crates at one end to go back to the First District, through the Dalmatians' house, and from the balconies of the hotel. Going through the drainage grate opposite the crates allows Sora to enter the '''Secret Waterway''', which serves as Leon's secret training ground, as well as a back entrance to the Magician's Study.

==Story==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
After the destruction of Destiny Islands, Sora ends up in Traverse Town, while Donald and Goofy arrive at the same time. He is awakened by [[Pluto]] and ventures out into the town, searching for his friends; humorously, Sora often leaves an area at the same time that Donald and Goofy enter, just barely missing them. Eventually, Sora meets [[Leon]], whom he fights. Regardless of the outcome, Sora passes out and finds himself in a hotel where he meets Yuffie and learns about the [[Keyblade]] and the [[Heartless]], while next door, [[Aerith]] explains the same things to [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]].
Heartless attack, and Leon runs out to defend the town from them. Before leaving, Leon tells Sora not to worry about the attacking [[Soldier]] and [[Shadow]] Heartless and to find their leader. As Sora enters the Third District, Donald and Goofy are blown off a balcony above, and land on him. The three battle and defeat numerous [[Soldier]] Heartless before being attacked by and defeating the [[Guard Armor]]. Afterwards, the three become companions and leave to find [[Riku]], [[Kairi]] and [[King Mickey]]. They return multiple times, Sora reuniting with [[Riku]] and sealing the Keyhole, meeting [[Merlin]] and the [[Fairy Godmother]], and also when a saved [[Kairi]] gives Sora [[Oathkeeper|her lucky charm]]. When the worlds are restored after the defeat of [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]], the fate of Traverse Town is unknown, as its residents return to their worlds.
===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===
A memory-created version of Traverse Town is the first world Sora visits while in [[Castle Oblivion]], as this is where Marluxia teaches Sora how to fight within the castle. Here he meets Leon and the others, but they don't recognize Sora, although they somehow remember his name. This is a recurring problem for the rest of the game. Aerith tells Sora near the end of the visit that she and everyone else may be nothing but a figment in Sora's memory.
===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
Although Traverse Town is not a playable world in <i>Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days</i>, the world is sometimes displayed when [[Roxas]] has flashbacks of Sora's memories.
===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
While Traverse Town does not appear in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it is frequently mentioned and shown in Sora's memory restoration. Merlin claims that he retrieved [[Winnie the Pooh|Winnie the Pooh's]] storybook out of the town's Zero District, and it is mentioned several times in the [[Secret Ansem Reports]].
===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===
Traverse Town has been confirmed to appear in the new game, ''Kingdom Hearts coded''.  From one of the few screenshots available, it appears that the first district is no longer peaceful, as a battle against numerous Heartless and "bugs" is witnessed. In episode 2 Data Sora woke up by Data Pluto in Traverse Town like in the first game. King Mickey tells Sora to investigate this world. While he was investigating he meets Data Cid. Cid is trying to find Data Huey, Duey, and Louie. Sora manages to find all 3 of them. All 3 of them had found 3 shiny pieces which almost formed a keyhole. He met the black coated guy who gives him the 4th piece of the [[Keyhole]]. Mickey who later tells him the keyhole probably led Sora to the corrupted place like the time in Destiny Island. Which Sora opens it with his Keyblade which lead him to another space in Traverse Town. He was running and encounters lots of blocks when he keeps running and he meet Guard Amour and about to fight him. After Sora fixed Traverse Town a new power had awaken inside of data Sora. Meanwhile in the real [[Disney Castle]] a new message appeared it says "Their torment has been lessened." It appears every time Sora fixes a world new message will appears in the [[Jiminy's Journal]].

*Cleo, the Goldfish from ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio_(1940_film) Pinocchio]'', can be seen in [[Geppetto]]'s house when he and [[Pinocchio]] move in to the First district.
*The battle theme of Traverse Town, ''Hand in Hand'', is also the ending theme for ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Game Boy Advance version of Riku's story (Reverse/Rebirth) in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', and ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
*In the '''Green Room''' in the Traverse Town Hotel (Second District), there are two paintings titled ''Bald Mountain 7:00 A.M.'' and ''Midday Jungle'', referencing to where you fight [[Chernabog]], and either [[Deep Jungle]] or possibly an unknown world.
*According to the Secret Ansem Reports, Traverse Town consists of remnants of worlds whose hearts have been stolen by the Heartless, which is why anyone lucky enough to survive the destruction of their world ends up there.
*There is a hidden Mickey on the top of the sign that is above Traverse Town's world exit.
