** The two ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' worlds featured in the franchise (Port Royal from II and The Caribbean from III) do not receive any acknowledgment in the game and are not even narrated by Kairi when she recaps the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. This was likely in response to the controversy surrounding Creator/JohnnyDepp, which had been a hot topic around the games release. Even the "Don't Think Twice" level, which features footage from all the worlds in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', only includes scenes of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their Caribbean outfits and omits Jack Sparrow or any other characters completely, unlike the other worlds which feature Sora's party members.

In the English dub, Kairi mentions all Disney worlds from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' by name with the exceptions of [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean the Caribbean]], which is AdaptedOut of ''Melody of Memory'' and - this is where the trope applies - the [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Kingdom of Corona]], which she refers to as "a fairy-tale kingdom". This is probably because saying the word "Corona" would have felt insensitive considering [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic a coronavirus pandemic]] that ravaged the world around the time the game was released. The game's menus in all languages and the Japanese dub still refer to the Kingdom of Corona by name.

He was originally going to have access to all six forms of magic as a playable character and even had voice clips for each of them, but ultimately, he could only use Water and Cure in the game.
