Merging with Disney Needed a game to compete with
Super Mario 64’s 3D capabilities Figured only characters as popular as Disney’s had any chance of competition against Mario A chance meeting between a Disney executive and Hashimoto Kingdom Hearts happened due to a series of chance events, the first being Disney wanted Donald Duck to be the lead protagonist, however Square favoured Mickey Mouse. They came to a compromise and made an all new title character, Sora

Character design Clever character design to link the main
franchises of each company Stereotypical Final Fantasy assets e.g. hair, belts and chains Still maintains a cartoon-like appearance Sora’s character design

Fighting animations are cartoonified, with Sora’s overhead swing attack being reminiscent of classic cartoons. When cartoon characters are about to bop another character over the head with a frying pan, they jump, hit downwards and their legs kind of splay open, and Sora does this in this attack Images: Sora swing frames 1, 2, 3, and 4

World design: Traverse Town
