KH4 World Predictions: Wrong Answers Only Edition

[Keyblade Knight 1st Class]

As the title suggests, in this thread we will be making false predictions regarding KH4's worlds. It could be anything from a Disney property that has a very slim chance of making it, or something else entirely no matter how outlandish it is. I'll go first.

Since everyone and their Grandma is getting a Castlevania collaboration these days, and it just so happens that today is World Dracula Day, I'm predicting that KH4 is next in line, so get ready for...

(Side note: for the sake of convenience, this will be based on the Netflix series, season 2 to be exact)

World: Dracula's Dominion (Working Title)
Party Members: Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades (Alucard is simply too OP)
World Form: Nothing special except for the fact that Sora gets a kick-ass bandana like classic Castlevania protagonists always used to have.

Sora and co. arrive in a village in the Wallachia countryside and find it under attack from Heartless as well as Dracula's Night Creatures. After barely surviving a few waves, Trevor and Sypha arrive just in time to save the day. With introductions out of the way, our heroes set off on their Quest to rid the land of Darkness. As you explore a sizable map, more villages can be found in need of saving but our true destination is the Belmont estate or more precisely, the library underneath the ruined building. Upon arrival Trevor finds the Morning Star whip, a permanent upgrade that unlocks a whole new set of abilities for him ( think Mulan ditching her disguise or Tron getting an upgrade to his Identity Disc in KH2). After a brief search, the objects that you came for are found, a Distance Mirror and a Locking Spell. Enemies break into the library and you must protect Alucard (who has just been quietly tagging along until now) as he attempts to locate his father's Castle using the Mirror. As soon as he does, Sypha uses the spell to lock the castle in place outside of the Belmont estate. Now comes the main attraction, fighting your way though Dracula's Castle. This will be a bulk of the world (at least half of it) meaning everything you've done up to this point was just an appetizer. Finally reaching the top, having finished off Dracula's forces along the way, you come face to face with the Dark Lord himself. After a lengthy boss fight, Alucard deals the finishing blow, putting an end to his father's madness. He vows to stay and protect the secrets of the castle as well as the Belmont library, while Trevor and Sypha set off to continue protecting the people of Wallachia from any remaining threats. Sora receives a Rosary as a memento, unlocking the Hunt the Night Keyblade which can form change into the Vampire Killer whip. Completing the world also unlocks the Classic Kingdom mini game Kingdomvania, a complete KH reskin of the original NES Castlevania. Upon a return visit a new hidden boss can be found. It's Death and he's the hardest boss in the entire series so far. Hopefully you like seeing the game over screen because you're about to see a lot of it.

Ok now I'll turn this over to you guys, have fun!

Since everyone and their Grandma is getting a Castlevania collaboration these days,

Except for Vampire Survivors somehow.

World: Dinohatten
Origin: the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie, which in fact was a Disney production
Party Members: Mario and Luigi (for Sora), Daisy and Yoshi (for Riku)
Console: Switch 2 exclusive bonus world

The world actually starts in Brooklyn, which is located in the Verum Rex/Quadranum universe. Sora is exploring the world as *insert KH4 villain here* seems to have a keen interest in it. The reason for this interest becomes apparent when Sora and the Marios And transported to Dinohatten.

After a variety of "wacky" "hijinks" "ensues", they learn that Brooklyn and Dinohatten used to be 1 world until a meteor strike split it between 2 realities 65 million years ago. Sora wonders if the Dinohatten half might be in the regular KHverse but is unable to call the gummi ship or other leave it.

Meanwhile Riku has been trailing Daisy, rescuing her and Yoshi from President Koopa's capture and is helping restore her father Bowser to the throne. Riku's also the one who has to complete an incredibly awkward tango mini-game with Bertha.

That's not a typo BTW. In the film the Mushroom King is the one named Bowser instead of Koopa, it's never said on screen but I learned about it in a story book adaptation I read at a Savers decades ago and now I pass this most irrelevant of obscure trivia to you. You're welcome.

After a theoretically exciting mini-game of sliding a mattress down an icy pipe, we get to the big bossfights against President Koopa. Riku fights his humanoid form while Sora and the plumbers contend with his T-Rex devolved form.

With Koopa kaput, the heroes return to Brooklyn. Releasing Dinohatten was a bit of a dead end, Sora and Riku set back on their respective main journeys.

YES!!! We need more like this . And yeah I'll never understand what's up with Vampire Survivors getting Among Us and Contra (THE WRONG KONAMI GAME) and not Castlevania smh.

Since Disney owns 20th Century Fox, here’s a hidden gem of madness.

world: Looney Land
Origin: Ragged Anne and Andy: a Musical Adventure
Party Members: Raggedy Anne and Raggedy Andy
Form: same as The Toy Box

The world starts with Sora and Co falling into the taffy pit just as The Greedy is about to cut out Raggedy Anne’s heart. After a quick fight with the bloated blob of junk food, everybody introduces themselves and Sora and Co agree to help the three you rescue Babette from pirates. After all of this, the Looney Knight pops up and starts testing his practical jokes in everyone and explaining they are now in Looney Land. After a brief chase event, the gang end up in the court of King Kookoo, who turns out to be using the heartless as subjects and has captured Babette and the Captain of the pirates that kidnapped her. Several waves of heartless later, the king has laughed so hard that he has grown to the point of exploding. This somehow teleports everyone to the backyard of Marsella, the little girl who owns Ann, Andy, and the camel with wrinkled knees. She takes all the toys as well as Sora Donald and Goofy back to her room, where said toys thank Sora with his choice of one of three keychains, each based on parts of their adventure. The first is “Candy Heart” and is based on the rag dolls themselves, the second is “Greed is Good” and is based on the Greedy. The third is “Looney Hero” and is based on the Looney Knight. Sora takes his pick and the gang takes their leave.

I know you are joking, but exclusive bonus worlds for each KH4 version would be amazing.


Like a Mario world, a Halo world, and a Ratchet and Clank world.

Speaking of Mario, I wonder if they'd put Bowser in Wreck it Ralph like how he showed up in the Villain meeting scene (but only for Switch 2 of course)

But console exclusive summons could be cool: Yoshi for Nintendo, Banjo & Kazooie for Xbox and Astrobot for Playstation

This could be an interesting thread, maybe we can make a separate thread for this - talking about platform exclusive keyblades and other content

Throw in an indie game world for PC and you got a deal. I’m thinking either Undertale/Deltarune or Cuphead

huh? i didn't think anyone remembered that movie.

okay here's my entry...and its wholesome....with a twist

World: Brisbark
Origin: Bluey
Partners: N/A
World Form: Canine (probably a mutt or some other breed)
this will basically be Quadranum's equivalent to the 100 Acre Wood. it is access via the tv in Sora's apartment using the Keyblade to open a portal. the world is split into seven episodes, each unlocked while progressing through the main story. while exploring this new world, Sora is found by Bluey and Bingo who, in classic fashion, have him play in their games. these will serve as minigames and will take Sora all over from the Heeler Residence, the Park and even Bluey's School in a seven-part overarching story. and here's where the twist come in the seventh episode, Bluey and her friends do a 'reenactment' of the Keyblade War from KH3 (with sticks for keyblades and the usual pretend fighting). This gives Sora little PTSD moment over what happened in the last game and almost started fighting for real. Sora excuses himself in shame but Bluey is able to help Sora by talking it about. eventually they changed game so that the war ends in a draw and no one has to 'fade away'. after the game Sora is addressed by the teacher Calypso, who actually knows that Sora is not from here. she tells Sora that she knew of another keyblade wielder like him who visited this world resembling young Xehanort. armed with this knowledge, Sora says is goodbyes, now feeling alot better about the past and takes his leave. though its not directly implied, his conversation with Calypso suggests that she was a keyblade master at one time.

Back in 2006 (when I was probably still on my first playthrough of KH2) I had a dream that there was a hidden skull in Pride Lands, and when you found and interacted with it a new hidden world was unlocked. And it was based on...


World: The Land of the Pharaohs
Party Member: Rick O'Connell
World Forms: Sora gets a spiffy 1920s adventurer outfit, Donald and Goofy become Horus and Anubis respectively.

The trio arrive on the boat in time to see the Medjai warriors sneaking on board. Mistaking them for Organization XIII because of their black cloaks, Sora leaps into action to prevent them from stealing the map. During the fight either Sora or Donald (neither will take responsibility for it) casts a fire spell that sets the boat ablaze. This becomes a running gag throughout the rest of the world with each one accusing the other of being the arsonist. After abandoning ship and ending up on the right side of the river, the three meet Rick, Evelyn and Jonathan, joining them on their journey to Hamunaptra (Sora has always wanted to see a real mummy). With transportation acquired in the form of camels, they set off with the Medjai watching their every move. Setting foot in Hamunaptra, excavation begins and a digging mini-game reminiscent of FF9s Chocobo Hot and Cold is introduced. Eventually The Book of the Dead is discovered, seemingly in need of a key to open. Sora tries the Keyblade to no avail, but Evy remembers that she already has the key. Once the book is opened, she reads a passage from it, awakening Imhotep and summoning the first plague, Locust-like Heartless. Doing their best to fight the swarm, our heroes get overwhelmed and flee underground. Your first encounter with Imhotep happens down here, but he's invulnerable at this point so you're forced to flee. Seeking refuge in Cairo, the second (the waters of Egypt running red with blood) and third plagues (hail fire raining down from the sky) wreak havoc on the city. In the chaos, Imhotep, believing that Evy is the reincarnation of his lover Anck-Su-Namun, follows her to the city to continue his regeneration. There's another fight that you can't win, but don't worry because this time you'll be saved by Evelyn's cat. As the mummy continues to regain his power, more plagues are unleashed, flies are next, followed by boils and sores (this one enslaves the local populace, bending them to Imhotep's will). In the Cairo museum the final plague of Darkness (oh yeah it's all coming together) covers the land. You have to fight off hordes of Imhotep's thralls, which are accompanied by a new more gruesome variant of the Wight Knights, while Evy deciphers some hieroglyphs to discover the location of The Book of Amun-Ra, the only hope of putting a stop to Imhotep's rise. Once again attempting to escape, Evelyn is captured by Imhotep. Sora, Rick and co. acquire an airplane to return to Hamunaptra. On the way they're attacked by a giant Sandstorm Heartless and crash in the desert. Meanwhile Imhotep is preparing a ritual to resurrect Anck-Su-Namun by sacrificing Evelyn. After reaching the city and fighting your way down to the ritual chamber, the final battle begins. In the first part of this multi-stage fight your opponent is the reanimated mummy of Anck-Su-Namun and some soldier mummies. Jonathan reads an inscription in The Book of Amun-Ra and commands the soldiers to kill Anck-Su-Namun, ending the first stage. Stage 2: another fight against the still immortal Imhotep. Finally Evelyn finds and reads the passage of the book that strips Imhotep of his immortality and the 3rd and final stage begins. With Imhotep defeated, you're given a time limit to escape the collapsing ruins in a sequence that is an intentional callback to escaping the Cave of Wonders in KH1. Having escaped, Sora regrets his desire to see a real mummy and our heroes part ways. Sora receives the Key to the Book of the Dead, granting him access to a Keyblade that I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a name for but so far no success. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

world: pride lands
origin: lion king 2
lion king 2 is easily my favorite disney movie. and possibly my favorite animated movie of all time. which is exactly the reason it will never happen.

 

[Sonofjafar]

expanding on one of my PC exclusive ideas.

World: Inkwell Isle
Extra Party Members: Cuphead, Mugman, and Ms Chalice
Forms: Sora takes on a form similar to the artstyle of Osamu Tesuka due to his Japanese origins, which only he questions.
Story: While in the realm of Unreality, Sora discovers that Inkwell Isle is a world inhabited by various comic book characters from the realm of light. He meets his personal favorites, a trio of cup headed kids named Cuphead, Mugman, and Ms Chalice. After explaining that they are in debt to the devil himself and have to pay it with the soul contracts of everyone else on the island, Sora agrees to help on the condition that they do not return the contracts to the devil when they meet him again. After a lengthy bossrush against every boss from the base game, they arrive at the Devil’s Casino and play King Dice’s game before taking audience with The Devil himself. Despite being tempting, the cups keep their promise to Sora and the Devil challenges them to one final boss fight. Sora and the cups triumph over the demon and destroy the contracts, freeing inkwell isle from the Devil’s debt. All the bosses celebrate their liberators as Sora makes his leave but not before Chalice gives Sora an ancient artifact that turns out to be a key blade called “Don’t Deal with the Devil”.

You guys wanted Star Wars in KH4 right?

Turns out it's based off the Star Wars Phineas & Ferb episode
