Kingdom Hearts (キングダムハーツ, Kingudamu Hātsu?) is a hybrid action-RPG that was released in 2002, which is notable for being the result of a collaboration between the video game developer and publisher Square and Disney. The game combines characters and settings from Disney's animated features and films with those from Square's Final Fantasy RPG series. Although the game's primary plotlines follow characters who were created specifically for Kingdom Hearts, characters from both companies play major roles in the game and its storyline. The game features real-time rendered backgrounds and scenery

Kingdom Hearts is heavily influenced by its parent franchise, Final Fantasy and carries many gameplay elements over into its own action-based, hack and slash system. Sora, the main character, is directly controlled by the player from a third person camera angle. Most gameplay occurs on interconnected field maps where battles take place. The game is driven by a linear progression to the next story event, usually told in the form of a cut scene, though there are numerous side quests available that provide bonus benefits to the characters.

Like many traditional role-playing games, Kingdom Hearts features an experience point system which determines character development. As enemies are defeated, the player gains experience which culminate in a "level-up", where the player characters grows stronger and gains access to new abilities. Unlike many other games of its type, Kingdom Hearts allows a certain degree of character development customization through a short tutorial found at the beginning of the game. By choosing certain options, the player is able to manipulate how Sora learns abilities, grows statistically, and even gains levels.

Combat in Kingdom Hearts is in real time and involves button presses which initiate Attacks by the on-screen character. Also, a Final Fantasy-esque menu found at the bottom left of the screen provides other combat options such as using Magic and Items. There is also a context-sensitive option at the bottom of the menu, usually used for interaction with the environment or for performing Special Attacks. This menu is manipulated using the right analogue stick or digital pad, while movement is controlled by the left stick, allowing the player to navigate the menu while avoiding or approaching enemies. In addition to the main character, two party members are usually present who also participate in combat. Though these characters are computer-controlled, the player is allowed to customize their behavior to a certain extent through the menu screen.

Levels in Kingdom Hearts are called "worlds". Many are based on Disney movies (primarily ones from the Disney animated features canon). Players travel from one world to another via gummi ship.

Destiny Islands. Sora begins his journey here. The world is only accessible at the story's beginning. the islands and the events in them are critical to the entire game's storyline. Sora, Riku, and Kairi originate here, and Final Fantasy characters, Selphie Tilmitt, Tidus, and Wakka live there as well.
Traverse Town. Sora first meets Donald and Goofy here. Traverse Town serves as a launching point into the majority of gameplay; as its name implies, it offers traditional-RPG shops. . Several Final Fantasy and Disney characters reside here, including Aerith Gainsborough, Yuffie Kisaragi, Squall Leonheart, Cid Highwind, The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella, Dalmatians from 101 Dalmatians, Merlin from The Sword in the Stone (film), and later on in the game, Geppetto and Pinnochio from Pinnochio. .
Wonderland, from Alice in Wonderland. Intended to be the next level the player travels to, this world is the first that can be closed to the Heartless by sealing the Keyhole. It features the Cheshire Cat, the Doorknob, Alice, the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, and animated playing cards as they appeared in the movie. The Mad Hatter and the March Hare appear as picture in their "tea garden".
Olympus Coliseum, from Hercules. This includes Hades, Hercules, Philoctetes, Cerberus, Cloud Strife and Sephiroth. This world, rather than being an explorable platform level, hosts fighting tournaments.
Deep Jungle, from Tarzan. Tarzan joins the party here. Jane, Clayton and several gorillas from the movies also appear.
Agrabah, from Aladdin. This world includes Agrabah and the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin joins the party. Abu, Princess Jasmine, Jafar, Iago, Genie, and the Magic Carpet also appear.
Monstro, from Pinocchio. Pinocchio and his maker Geppetto can be found here. Since Monstro is a living being, not a world, this level cannot be sealed.
Atlantica, from The Little Mermaid, consists of the underwater enviroments of Ursula's Cave, the city of Atlantica, and several grottos.. Ariel joins the party. King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian, Flounder, Flotsam and Jetsam appear in this world. While in this world, Sora is transformed into a mer-man while Donald and Goofy become sea animals.The three-dimensional underwater controls are frequently criticized by players.
Halloween Town, from The Nightmare Before Christmas includes the Guillotine Square, Oogie Boogie's Manor, Moonlit Hill and a graveyard. Jack Skellington joins the party. Sally, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, Doctor Finklestein, Zero, the two-faced Mayor and Oogie Boogie also appear. In this world, Sora, Goofy and Donald disguise themselves as monsters.
Never Land, from Peter Pan, does not actually included Neverland itself; its two areas are Captain Hook's ship and London's Big Ben. Peter Pan joins the party. Captain Hook, Wendy_Darling, Smee and Tinkerbell appear here. Story events ultimately allow the characters to fly while in this world..
Hollow Bastion. Final Fantasy characters that appear in Kingdom Hearts come from this world (excepting those in the Destiny Islands). The Beast joins the party. This is also Maleficent's headquarters.
End of the World. A large, dark world created from the assimilation of various worlds consumed in darkness. Here, many Heartless and evil beings reside. The final battles with Ansem are fought here. The World Terminus is located here, and small pockets of all other playable realms appear in this world due to its presence.
100 Acre Wood, from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This world exists only in a book within the game, and its different areas are unlocked by collecting 'Torn Pages'. Each area hosts a different mini-game. Unlike other worlds, it has no enemies.
Disney Castle (not to be confused with Sleeping Beauty Castle) is not a playable world, though it appears in cut scenes and, inaccessibly, on the world map. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy originate here.

The main characters are Sora, Donald Duck, and Goofy. While Donald specializes in MP and Magic usage, and Goofy in Defense, HP, and Special Attacks, Sora's stats, however, are more customizable; at the start of the game, the player selects what attribute to excel in and which attribute to be lacking in: Strength, Defense, or Magic. Several traits can also be altered further by permanent boost items or equipped item effects. Sora is also unique in that he can use both Magic and Special Attacks, whereas Donald and Goofy can only use each respectively.

Sora is the only character directly controlled by the player; other members in the party are computer-controlled. The AI characters can have their behavior altered by the player, changing their Item usage from "occasionally" to "constantly" for example. Donald and Goofy are the only computer-controlled characters that are usable on every world. Most worlds have a unique AI party member who can be chosen to replace Goofy or Donald in the party while in that world. For instance, Jack Skellington joins the player's party in Halloween Town, but will not accompany the player elsewhere.

Various Disney characters can be temporarily called upon during battle as Summons. These characters replace Sora's two companions for the duration of the summon. Such characters include the Genie from Aladdin and Simba from The Lion King.

As a game meant to explore the fictional universes of various Disney films, there are many Disney characters from those films, along with others in cameo roles, such as the One Hundred and One Dalmatians puppies playing part in a quest to collect all 99.
