Vanitas appears in the game for all but 2 seconds, talking in unision with Young Master Xehanort. This brief scene is very possibly just a vision Sora has upon hearing YMX speak, though it makes you wonder how active Vanitas' conciousness is within him by that point. Flash foreward to Sora's {{Mindscrew}} Royal in The World That Never Was: In his dream, Sora encounters Roxas... Who promptly states that things aren't well the way they are and infuses Sora with his memories. All at once, suddenly, with little explanation and not preparing him at all, playing directly into Xehanort's plans with it. Now... Why would Roxas do this? The "Roxas" Sora meets clearly is completly aware of what is going on and, unlike the other dream-people Sora meets, actually speaks to him for a while, implying he is doing the memory transfer conciously and willingly. However, all the memory transfer accomplishes at that point is to scare Sora so baddly that he goes into an HeroicBSOD and finally has his heart shattered by Xemnas, which benefits Team Xehanort greatly. So if Roxas was even one bit aware of what was going on he ''knew'' this was going to happen, and he still did this. Why? Being allied to Xehanort somehow (which is tragic) seems to be the only plausible explanation. Also, look at Roxas face when he transfers the memories. His expression looks surprisingly like Vanitas', when he held the X-Blade and challenged Ventus within their Dive Into Heart and is pretty much identical to Vanitas' expression in afformentioned OneSceneWonder moment. Even more striking: If you take a close look at the timelines of Riku's and Sora's stories, you will notice that Roxas' disappearance from Sora's dream almost immediately coincides with Riku's battle against ''Anti Black Coat'', a Nightmare-Type Dream Eater, who looks exactly like what Vanitas' "true" form has been described to look like, even featuring a simmilar battle style. A point could be made that for Sora only a few seconds pass between Roxas' disappearance and hearing Riku's post-battle pleas for him to wake up, but remember that Sora is dreaming. It was been outright stated that time doesn't flow normally within his dreams, so the entire battle against ''Anti Black Coat'' could easily have taken place in those "few seconds" between Roxas's disappearance and Riku's pleadings. ''Anti Black Coat'' being Vanitas is likely, due to all the simmilarities and Vanitas being pure darkness at the core (Though, should this theory be true, it is likely that Roxas' friendships with Axel, Xion and the virtual Twilight Gang gained him a bit of Light), so it would make sense that he'd manifest as a Dream Eater within Sora's dreamworld. After all, Riku, too, manifested as a Dream Eater, albeit as a Spirit-Type, rather than a Nightmare. It would make sense that Roxas, sensing Riku trying to interfere, "beamed out", in order to stall for time while Sora succumbs to his BSOD. ''Anti Black Coat'' being slain by Riku means nothing. He might simply have disintegrated to return to the depths of Sora's subconcious... Where Riku later finds Roxas, alongside Ven and Xion.

* The Franchise/MarvelUniverse... or at the very least, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} as a BonusBoss.

*** The latter? Fourth Wall-breaking BonusBoss-turned OptionalPartyMember. Hilariawesome? I think so.

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Chaos]], likely his ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia]]'' incarnation, as a BonusBoss.

[[WMG: One of the [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] will be Joshua.]]

** [[HehHehYouSaidX Heh heh...]] [[{{Pun}} diving.]] So [[@/AlexSora89 this troper's]] hopes about the rumored "early boss battle" being a BonusBoss instead have been crushed. Oh well, there's still the "Free Fall Action: Battle" thing about the Memoirs, so it's still anyone's game, I guess.

** The most likely incarnation would be Franchise/SpiderMan or ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} as a summon.

At first, [[http://kh13.com/forum/topic/30377-memoirs-feature-in-kingdom-hearts-3d-explained/ the Memoirs feature was announced,]] and the fact it acted as a recap for the entire series, therefore [[AvertedTrope averting]] the series' ContinuityLockout in order to help newcomers understanding the events, made the fandom go wild already. However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssrlR_rdFc the February trailer]] showed a boss battle against Ursula, that maybe hinted at a world based on ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid'', just [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI as it]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories happened]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII before.]] However, her low life bar puzzled some fans who suspected it to be a part of the Memoirs feature, as the menu alluded to a "battle mode" of sorts. ''Then'' came the March 15 issue of Famitsu weekly, that showed Ursula ''again'' [[http://kh13.com/zenphoto/articles/famitsu-weekly/march-15-2012/Page+4.jpg.php without any sort of context.]] Considering the announcement of a new world is highly unlikely due to the game coming out - as of this edit (16/05/2012) - in less than two weeks, it's safe to say we can do the math already. Troper @/AlexSora89, [[IKnewIt calling it right now.]]

* [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]]: He's the only character who kept his body as a Heartless. Five munny says Xehanort won't mind having a powerful lion as a future body.

** [[HehHehYouSaidX Heh heh...]] [[IncrediblyLamePun diving.]] So [[@/AlexSora89 this troper's]] hopes about the rumored "early boss battle" being a BonusBoss instead have been crushed. Oh well, there's still the "Free Fall Action: Battle" thing about the Memoirs, so it's still anyone's game, I guess.

* ''Franchise/TheMuppets'', probably following either the original ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'' or [[Film/TheMuppets the upcoming one]]. Hey, they're the property of Disney, have been appearing at the theme parks since 1990, and are extremely popular.

* According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, you might be right...

* While their respective movies perhaps wouldn't work all too well as their own worlds, boss fights with [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia 2000}} the Firebird]] and [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow the Headless Horseman]] would be fantastic. As for other potential worlds, I could see ''Literature/TheWindInTheWillows'' potentially working. And if they only focused on the cartoon sections like [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Splash Mountain]] does, I could even see a Song of the South world similar to the Winnie the Pooh segments in previous games.
* What about some Creator/{{Pixar}} worlds? [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Andy's Bedroom]], [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Monstropolis]], the ''[[WesternAnimation/WallE Axiom]]'', and [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} The Scottish Highlands]] could all make very neat levels.

* Andy's Room (WesternAnimation/ToyStory), if only to put the jossed designs for Wooody and Buzz to good use.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'', where you become an anthro animal, most likely a fox (although Riku could be a wolf).

*** Kefka and Frollo would be unlikely to get along if they met. Kefka is nothing if not ChaoticEvil while Frollo is almost certainly LawfulEvil. Frollo is likely to see use of magic as a good thing only because it means he can then execute the magic user in question without too many people bitching. Kefka would fit very well with the court of miracles, as I could definitely see KH!Kefka as a gypsy or jester who has been hunted by Frollo for quite some time, and driven sort of loopy by it.

* Since Notredame is confirmed: [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo, Esmeralda, Frollo, the goat (Djali), Phoebus.]]

* [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame HBoND]] one of the subtler(or not so subtle) conflicts is how both Quasi, Pheobus, AND Frollo are after the same girl, but which one would end up with her.

* [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]]

* Is everyone forgetting that you actually see snaps of Sora in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'''s world?

* [[StarWars The Death Star]]. This would be a pretty big stretch, but ''might'' happen considering how much Ride/DisneyThemeParks involvement the ''StarWars'' franchise has. If ''StarWars'' did appear in the game (whether as a world or just as a bunch of characters/summons), Darth Vader would probably be a Maleficent-like major villain, maybe even a new, more competent [[TheDragon Dragon]] to Maleficent herself if Pete [[spoiler:stays dead or stays good - but it looks like he's alive and back to his old self in the trailer]].

** Which means Sora ''might'' turn into a Muppet[[note]]Humans exist in the Muppets world and interact regularly with the Muppets, too, so ''might''.[[/note]]. That is just CrazyAwesome.

* Oh, sh[[LastSecondWordSwap oot]]. My theory has [[http://kh13.com/forum/topic/31397-kingdom-hearts-3d-in-famitsu-weekly-interview-summary/ just been jossed!]] The last [[HopeSpot hope]] is Nomura... well, [[IPulledAWeirdAl pulling a]] [[LyingCreator Nomura.]]

[[WMG: Each world in the title represents one protagonist.]]

* The Franchise/MarvelUniverse... or at the very least, SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} as a BonusBoss.

Which also means [[BadassGrandpa Yen Sid can use Flowmotion]]

There's definitely going to be a Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog world, which may or may not involve turning to a frog. Other possibilities?
* ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' seems likely, since there was a Stitch space world in BBS. This time it'll most likely be in Hawaii, though.

* ''Disney/RobinHood'', where you become an anthro animal, most likely a fox (although Riku could be a wolf).

* ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove''?

* ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}''. It's one of the most famous movies not yet used.

* Nomura mentioned that the new Disney worlds would be the ones most requested by the fans. So, probably the most popular movies in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon will appear, basically. Which means no ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'', I guess...

** Aww, no ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron''? I wanna beat up that weird skeleton dude!
* Disney/{{Pinocchio}}. Mostly just to beat the living crap out of the coachman.

* ''Disney/TheJungleBook''. Especially considering the DummiedOut data of it found in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''.

* ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'', which will culminate in a battle on Big Ben, much like the movie.
* ''Disney/{{Tangled}}''. Rapunzel would make an awesome party member. And considering that it's now one of Creator/{{Disney}}'s most successful animated movies...
* ''Disney/OliverAndCompany''. Hey, it could happen.
* ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'' and/or ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' [[RuleOfCool because that would be awesome.]]
* There will be a full-fledged ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' area, with ''Toccata and Fugue'' being some sort of MushroomSamba level, ''Rite of Spring'' taking the bulk of the area, a possible {{Arcadia}} area for the ''Pastoral Symphony'', and ''The Firebird'' being the boss.
** '''Confirmed''': Symphony of Sorcery (no word on whether ''Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}}'' material like the Firebird will appear, though).
* Is everyone forgetting that you actually see snaps of Sora in ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'''s world?

* While their respective movies perhaps wouldn't work all too well as their own worlds, boss fights with [[Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}} the Firebird]] and [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow the Headless Horseman]] would be fantastic.

* [[Disney/ChickenLittle Oakey Oaks]]. A Sora that falls.

* Since Notredame is confirmed: [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo, Esmeralda, Frollo, the goat (Djali), Phoebus.]]

* [[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone Camelot]] as seen in The Sceptre and the Kingdom along side Notre Dame.

* Disney/TheJungleBook's world for some fun.
* Disney/ChickenLittle's world.

* Disney/{{Dumbo}}'s world. (Big Top)
* Disney/{{Bambi}}'s world (for a breather)

* Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire
* New York or Hero City (Disney/OliverAndCompany or Marvel)
* Disney/TreasurePlanet world (done similar to Port Royal)
* The Bayou (Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog)
* The New World (Disney/{{Pocahontas}}. Name will also be lampshaded)

* Disney/LadyAndTheTramp (Traverse Town); not necessarily a world, but maybe as a cameo/sidequest similar to the dalmatians.

* The Kingdom of the Sun (Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove)

[[WMG: The Disney/{{Pinocchio}} world will have you fight the Coachman]]

* Disney/LadyAndTheTramp
* Disney/OliverAndCompany
* Disney/TheAristocats

* Disney/TreasurePlanet

* [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame HBoND]] one of the subtler(or not so subtle) conflicts is how both Quasi, Pheobus, AND Frollo are after the same girl, but which one would end up with her.

The Jump Festa trailer shows that Mickey from that world knows what a Keyblade is, though he doesn't recognize Sora and he mentions that he's infiltrating that world for some reason. Also, obviously Master Yen Sid is from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' and Mickey's his apprentice. There isn't really any basis for there to be multiple versions of the same characters existing on different worlds in this series anyway, and it would explain why Donald and Goofy didn't realize what was going on in Timeless River right away or that Pete used to be a Steamboat Captain. Really all of this should be pretty obvious when thought about...

* [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]]
* [[Disney/{{Bambi}} Man]]
* [[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire Rourke]]

** Never say never, but it seems unlikely. TAV filled Lilo's role of ridding Stitch of his CrushKillDestroy mindset. This is coupled with the fact that the general Japanese feelings about Lilo are... mixed at best.

** The most likely incarnation would be SpiderMan or ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} as a summon.
