****To be fair, Roxas has spent most of his [[spoiler: one year life]] not knowing what an emotion is, let alone how to properly feel them. It's tragic, in one sense; Roxas, at that point, could only concieve of friendship as 'eating ice cream with people'. He was effectively asking who he'd be friends with.

* Belle elbowing Xaldin. Seriously. She did it hard enough for him to release her, and for her to snatch the Rose back. The fact that such a big, bad villain armed with floating lances just got stunned like that made this troper and her brother laugh like hell.

* Probably the biggest amount of consistant {{Narm}}, (throughout the Re: Chain Of Memories, and with the most questionable dialogue,) was between Sora and Replica Riku. Repliku kept acting like some sort of heart broken lover in regards to Sora, using phrases like, "You never cared about me!" and "You're only ever worried about her!" Basically, it's a big Flanderization of Riku's FoeYay with Sora in the first game. The pinacle of this pure {{Narm}} was this little exchange.
--> Repliku: Sora... You're always trying to worm your way into my heart!
--> Sora: Hold on...When did I ever do that?
--> Repliku: Oh, so you forgot about THAT too?! You never cared...it NEVER MATTERED TO YOU! (runs off, might as well be crying angry tears.)

That's your excuse, for KEEPING ME IMPRISONED HERE!!!!!!" The delivery is so ridiculous, coupled with the emphasis on prison, it ruins the otherwise dramatic scene.

*** Made even more ridiculous when in ChainOfMemories, the very first level is Traverse Town, where you meet up with Squall again...who doesn't remember you. Granted, this is because it's not strictly Traverse Town and Castle Oblivion does weird stuff with memories, but adding this context to the already cheesy line just makes it funnier.

*** In a more dialogue-Narm way, when he reaches the Keyblade Graveyard near the end of the game, he looks at the horizon for a while and then say: "What I do, I do for [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]]". Even by Kingdom Hearts standards, that was seriously corny.

**** Far less excusable is Sora's voice. Haley Joel Osment sounds just as deep (and sometimes deeper) than he did in ''KingdomHeartsII'', even though Sora should sound like he did in the first game here. Honestly, they should have just got a new voice actor; Osment is obviously way past puberty.
**** And apparently Disney hasn't learnt their lesson; now in ''Re:coded'', we're once again going to have Haley Joel Osment's adult-sounding voice coming out of pre-pubescent Sora.

** The reenactions of some movies were pretty ridiculous, too. Especially Pirates of the Caribbean (because of bad animation) and the flashback in The Lion King. Young Simba's model looks lile he's perpetually smiling. Which makes him look awfully stupid. ''While watching his father's death.''
*** Another [[strike: good]] example is how they reenacted the ShowSomeLeg scene from ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''. They throw Sally's leg in front of Oogie before he could kill [[strike: Sandy Claws]] SantaClaus. '''Like a frikkin' bone'''. Seriously, off-camera, was Sora saying, "Throw the leg! Throw the leg!"?

** In "RE: Chain of Memories", there's a scene where Sora goes into his random, hands-behind-head, head-tilted-forth pose, he ''looks directly into the camera and smiles'' while saying "I guess there's no way we'll forget our most important memories!" This is such an {{Anvilicious}}ly unsubtle way of indicating that yes, they '''will''' forget their most important memories that it's hilarious!
** In ''Birth By Sleep'', Terra's [[DullSurprise voice acting]] cause many Narm moments. One of the worst of these is when he's trying to encourage a weeping Cinderella to not give up. He sounds so ''bored'' and unconcerned about the situation that it goes against what he's trying to say.

*** He WASN'T. Riku (or rather [[spoiler:Ansem/Xehanort's Heartless, since it was actually him in Riku's body talking, not Riku]]) isn't paying attention to Sora at all. Watch the scene carefully and you'll notice Riku's lines run together. "Yes, and without her power, the Keyhole will remain incomplete. It is time she awakened... But first, you must give the princess back her heart." He was continuing his last line, not responding to Sora, which explains the lack of emphasis.
