!!''Birth By Sleep'' provides examples of:

----
* AdaptationDeviation: The overall story is actually fairly similar to the game, with one of the main outliers being that the majority of the Disney content has been replaced in favour of crossovers with other series.
* AdaptationExpansion: While not having a large focus, the protagonists generally have more detailed backstories compared to their vague to non-existent game counterparts, such as Aqua being a LonelyRichKid who ran away from home and Terra having a rough upbringing as an orphan.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In ''Birth By Sleep'' Terra has a pattern of meeting the villain of each world before anyone else and being manipulated into helping them. [[note]]This has been somewhat exaggerated by fans, as there are several villains he doesn't meet at all (Lady Tremaine), clearly doesn't trust from the start (Queen Grimhilde, Hades), or had somewhat justifiable reasons for trusting (Captain Hook, Master Xehanort).[[/note]] Here, he doesn't get manipulated quite as often, and even the incident where Maleficent and Xehanort made him think he had removed Aurora's heart doesn't play out the same way with Erina.
* BluffTheImpostor: When faced with two Marios, Aqua pulls this by claiming he can't fool her because she's known Mario for years. When one of them says, "Good! So, you know it's me, then!", Aqua blasts him with Fire, exposing him as a Duplighost, before revealing that she only met Mario that day.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Ventus is thrown by how nonchalant the people of Toad Town are about Princess Peach being kidnapped again.
-->'''Ventus''': No offense but… shouldn’t everyone be a bit more worried?\\
'''Toad''': Well, of course we’re worried! You have to understand, this happens all the time! Seems like a month can’t go by without Bowser taking our Princess away… Thankfully, Mario is always there to lend a helping hand!\\
'''Ventus''': Okay, that… makes sense.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Squall/Leon, Yuffie and Aerith appear in Radiant Garden when Terra saves this from the Unversed.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Navi mentions Sora during Aqua's visit, setting up that Sora will visit Hyrule at some point after the TimeSkip and presumably help Link in the Shadow Temple when he returns with the Lens of Truth.
* MegaCrossover: Aside from Disney Town and the Mysterious Tower, each of the Disney worlds have been replaced by worlds based on other franchises:
** Enchanted Dominion is replaced by ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'', with Dio Brando filling Maleficent's role by cooperating with Xehanort to steal Erina's heart while manipulating the heroes, and later recruiting Pete from Disney Town. In addition, Erina Pendleton replaces Aurora as a Princess of Heart.
** Dwarf Woodlands is replaced by ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'', with Terra unwittingly helping Bowser's forces against the Unversed in Peach's Castle, Ventus helping Mario against Tubba Blubba, and Aqua joining him in the Crystal Palace. Naturally, Peach replaces Snow White as a Princess of Heart.
** Castle of Dreams is replaced by ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', with the heroes helping Link at different points of his journey: Ventus in Dodongo's Cavern, Terra in Jabu Jabu's Belly and Aqua when he comes back from the future to visit the Bottom of the Well (notably, that last chapter coincided with the author reaching the same point in ''Fanfic/TheBoyWithoutAFairy''). Terra also encounters Impa and Zelda, figuring out that the latter is one of the Princesses of Heart.
** Olympus Colosseum is replaced by ''Franchise/AstroBoy'', with Zack Fair showing up in hopes of joining a tournament against robots.
** Deep Space is replaced by ''VideoGame/EarthboundBeginnings''.
** Neverland is replaced by ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall''.
** In the scene where [[spoiler:Kingdom Hearts appears over the Keyblade Graveyard, Terra, Aqua and Ventus hear the voices of hearts from over a dozen different worlds, including, ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'', ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', ''Film/TheTrumanShow'', ''TabletopGame/WarHammer40000'', ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'' and ''Film/ForrestGump'', among others.]]
** Aqua briefly encounters a [[VideoGame/{{Runescape}} Mahjarrat]] in Hyrule Castle Town.
* {{Novelization}}: Certain chapters, mainly set in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' exclusive worlds like Radiant Garden, are straight adaptations of the game.
* TheStinger: Two scenes following the epilogue mentioned below: [[spoiler:Terra-Xehanort calling himself Ansem while turning Braig into a Heartless, and Aqua exploring the Realm of Darkness and fighting TheHeartless for the first time, eventually stumbling on Peach's Castle.]]
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: In addition the scenes in Disney Town, Radiant Garden and the Mysterious Tower from the original game's ending credits, the final chapter has:
** Jonathan and Erina relaxing by the river while Dio and Pete are elsewhere plotting.
** Link and Navi returning to the Temple of Time.
** Mario and his companions at a party at Peach's Castle.
** Zack's disappearance, unnoticed by Tobio, Doctor Tenma or Mustachio, with a black feather being left behind.
** Ninten reading a letter from Ana and not noticing a phone call from his father.
** Wirt and Greg waking up in hospital with their schoolmates around them.
* YearInsideHourOutside: The seven year TimeSkip in ''Ocarina of Time'' equates to at least ten from the heroes' perspective, going by the mention of Sora helping Link in the future.

!!''Another Side, Another Story'' provides examples of

* AdaptationDeviation: The voice that speaks to Sora throughout his dream is implied (and outright stated in the author's notes) to be Ventus, in contrast to WordOfGod from Creator/TetsuyaNomura that it was supposed to be Mickey.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: In Sora's dream, when Tidus asks him what he's afraid of, Sora answers, "I'm afraid of being different."
-->To Sora, at least, it really was scary. It was terrifying for him to feel different. And he feared if the other realized he was too different, they might not like him anymore. Sometimes he felt…off…and wrong. He had no idea if the others noticed, but he was scared of the notion that they would someday.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: The story opens on Sora's "Dive to the Heart" dream, with the Stations changed to the previously introduced Princesses of Heart, (Peach, Zelda and Erina) and one new one.
* MegaCrossover: As with ''Birth By Sleep'', most of the Disney worlds from the game have been changed to other franchises, though most of these have yet to be revealed. The only one that has been hinted at thus far is Monstro's replacement, as Jiminy Cricket has been replaced in his role as the TagalongChronicler by [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].]]
