History Awesome / KingdomHeartsII

** Perhaps one of the best is in Beast's castle. Wherein you hop onto the chandelier, bring it down, smack it into the Dark Thorn, then swing it around and knock it on every single pillar in the process.

* "The Battle of 1000 Heartless", in which Sora slaughters exactly one thousand Heartless all by himself. This particular battle had also given rise to TheWarSequence Trope.
** During the heartless attack on Hollow Bastion, Leon and Cloud manage to combine BackToBackBadasses and SnarkToSnarkCombat into one enjoyable scene.

** It sadly becomes less awesome for both Sora and the players when [[spoiler: you learn in the next scene that Sora [[UnwittingPawn did exactly what Xemnas wanted him to do]], as he now has 1000 new hearts for his Kingdom Hearts.]]
** Right before the Battle of 1000 Heartless, Sora runs down a ravine fighting Heartless without Donald or [[spoiler:the believed dead]] Goofy, but he isn't alone. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Yuffie, Tifa, Cloud,]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Leon]] join in one at a time.

* Auron's role in the Hercules stage is somehow even more awesome than anything he did in Final Fantasy X. He gets ''brought back from the dead'' by Hades to kill Sora, practically spits in his face in return, and goes off to team up with Sora and kick all kinds of ass.

* Port Royal, as a whole, is an extremely wholesome experiance. You fight the Undead pirates, blast other pirates ships, essentially get a retelling of the movie and a sort of continuation on the second visit, fight Barbossa and an Aztec Grim Reaper heartless as bosses, and actually see blood- even if its just a cut on the hand. Jack Sparrow is as cool as he was in the movie, even being able to weld a keyblade for a short time; and it is interesting to see the stylised, anime-ish, and realistic characters clash (particularly {{Pete}} conversing with Barbossa.
* The scene before Barbossas boss fight, where The heros pull a BigDamnHeroes, there's a swordfight, and The Illuminator is introduced, letting Barbossa get a cool pose with it's GlowingEyesOfDoom.

* The Storm Rider boss fight where you can hitch a ride on the bosses back.

* The Experiment, which shows how much research was put in as the creature is a mis-mash of ''background props'' from TheNightmareBeforeChristmas (For example its right arm is part of the scenery in Dr.Finkelstiens lab).

* The Hostile Program, which is one of the few characters that isn't from Disney or Square Enix that isn't in the main cast, is fought as the boss on Spaces Paranoids first visit, and after which is where the game starts to heat up a little. (YMMV on opinion though)

* Taking down the Groundshaker in Pride Lands.
* The Prison Keeper, which is the first boss to have above three health bars, [[ThatOneBoss and lord help you if you are underleveled]].

* The final Roxas vs Axel fight. Dual wielding keyblades? Check. Huge ring of fire? Check. Bashing away at Axel with these two keyblades while running sideways on the ring of fire? Double check.
* Any time you summon Genie, it usually ends up being very spectacular. Especially in KH II, where he mimic's Sora's drive forms.

* For that matter, Belle's actions in general - rather than play the role of DistressedDamsel and force beast to make a SadisticChoice, she just has ''none'' of it and ''elbows him'' in the stomach, grabbing the rose and running to safety.

-->'''[[{{GoodIsNotSoft}} Sora]]''': [[{{VerbalTic}} End of]] [[{{BeamMeUpScotty}} the]] [[{{VerbalTic}} line]] for you!

-->'''[[{{GoodIsNotSoft}} Sora]]: [[{{VerbalTic}} End of]] [[{{BeamMeUpScotty}} the]] [[{{VerbalTic}} line]] for you!

** It helps that Sora was wearing [[{{TwentyFourHourArmor}} armor]] at the time, and had a pretty angry face. This scene is clearly showing how angry Sora would get if his friends got hurt in a non-humorous way.

* A manga example is Sora taking out a Magnum Loader after Donald accidently grabs onto it while playing with a Light Cycle. Sure, everyone else enters a HeroicBSOD [[spoiler: due to the required piece of data needed for the trio to escape is destroyed]], but seeing Sora taking action before that is pure badass. [[spoiler: Not to mention that he uses his Keyblade to repair the broken data]].

* For that matter, Belle's actions in general - rather than play the role of DistressedDamsel and force beast to make a SadisticChoice, she just has ''none'' of it and ''elbows him'' in the stomach, grabbing the rose and running to safety.

** During the boss battle after this, once the MCP takes enough damage, Sark will put up a wall to stop the party from fleeing. [[{{NiceJobFixingItVillain}} BIG]] [[{{OneHitKO}} MISTAKE]]!

--> '''Beast''': ''[[HesBack I know one thing... This castle belongs to ME. Xaldin will NEVER be welcome here!]]''

--> '''Beast''': ''[[HesBack This is MY castle! Xaldin will NEVER be welcome here!]]''

* Any time you summon Genie, it usually ends up being very spectacular. Especially in KH II, where he mimic's Sora's drive forms.

* The final Roxas vs Axel fight. Dual wielding keyblades? Check. Huge ring of fire? Check. Bashing away at Axel with these two keyblades while running sideways on the ring of fire? Double check.

* The Prison Keeper, which is the first boss to have above three health bars, [[ThatOneBoss and lord help you if you are underleveled]].

* The scene before Barbossas boss fight, where The heros pull a BigDamnHeros, there's a swordfight, and The Illuminator is introduced, letting Barbossa get a cool pose with it's GlowingEyesOfDoom.

* The Experiment, which shows how much research was put in as the creature is a mis-mash of "background props" from TheNightmareBeforeChristmas.

* Sora and [[spoiler:Riku]]'s LimitBreak, [[YinYangBomb Eternal]] [[{{BFS}} Session]]. ''The'' coolest Limit Break of the game.

* The final battle [[spoiler: Sora and Riku vs. Xemnas. Special mention goes to the very end, with how Sora and Riku are able to coordinate their actions with very little words exchanged. That's the definition of BashBrothers.]]

*** "[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu No wonder no one wants to die]]"

** "[[ArcWords This is my story.]] And you're not part of it."

** It sadly becomes less awesome for both Sora and the players when [[spoiler: you learn in the next scene that Sora [[XanatosSucker did exactly what Xemnas wanted him to do]], as he now has 1000 new hearts for his Kingdom Hearts.]]

* Pretty much any boss against one of the Disney villains. Something just cathartic about beating up villains you remember from childhood, all while [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome/KingdomHearts awesome music]] plays.

** Like deflecting 10+ of Sephiroth's lightning squick swings in 1 second.

** "[[ArcWords This is ''my'' story.]] And you're not part of it."

** The mission itself revolves around you fighting your way through the Nobody fleet so that you can enter the Dreadnought and destroy the reactor core for its WaveMotionGun. Not only will destroying the core get you some rare Gummi Blocks, you are also treated to a gorgeous view of the Dreadnought blowing up.
