Neon Streets on a Never-Ending Night

Traverse Town is the first new world Sora reaches in Kingdom Hearts, the 2002 PlayStation 2 game made by Disney and Square. After his home on Destiny Islands is swallowed by darkness, Sora wakes in this neon-lit town where it is always night.

Donald Duck and Goofy arrive searching for the Keyblade's wielder, and after meeting Sora they join forces. Final Fantasy characters help guide him: Leon, a version of Squall, tests Sora's skill, while Yuffie and Aerith explain the Heartless. Cid runs an Accessory Shop in the First District and later builds Gummi Ships.

Heartless, creatures drawn to hearts, lurk in the alleys. Sora's first major challenge in town is the Guard Armor, a boss whose armored pieces fight separately. Traverse Town becomes a refuge for people from lost worlds.
