(→‎Settings and Areas: I know the Settings and Areas sections don't divide into games which I've tried to clean up now, but wouldn't it be better to do so? Rather than information from different games overlapping and potentially confuse, I reckon it's more comprehensible to the divide the descriptions into games.)

In the original game, Olympus Coliseum was the smallest world, consisting of three areas: the {{nihongo|'''Coliseum Gates'''|コロシアム前|Koroshiamu Mae|lit. "Colosseum Anterior"}} where [[Sora]] and his party enter, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Coliseum: Lobby}}'''|ロビー|Robī|lit. "Lobby"}} where [[Phil]] briefs contestants and keeps the cups of the winners, and {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Coliseum}}'''|コロシアム|Koroshiamu}} itself, where the party competes against various combinations of [[Heartless]], villains, and other characters in the game. The same exact areas are present in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
In ''Kingdom Hearts'' Olympus Coliseum consists of three areas: the {{nihongo|'''Coliseum Gates'''|コロシアム前|Koroshiamu Mae|lit. "Colosseum Anterior"}} where [[Sora]] and his party enter, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Coliseum: Lobby}}'''|ロビー|Robī|lit.

The same exact areas are present in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'' the '''Coliseum: Lobby''' has been been renamed to the '''{{a|Coliseum Foyer}}''', while in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' it's again renamed to '''{{a|Vestibule}}'''.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
The world receives a major expansion in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' with the inclusion of the Underworld, which can be accessed through the '''{{a|Coliseum Gates}}'''. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Underworld Entrance}}'''|冥界入口|Meikai Iriguchi}} connects the living world to the world of the dead, as well as holding the world's [[Moogle]] Shop, a save point, and the [[Underdrome]] where Sora can talk to [[Pain and Panic]] to gain access to the tournaments there. From there, two paths into the Underworld branch off. The first branch that Sora and his friends can explore leads to Hades's domain through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cave of the Dead}}'''|亡者の洞窟|Mōja no Dōkutsu}}. Beginning at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Entrance}}'''|入口|Iriguchi}} the party travels down the narrow and meandering {{nihongo|'''{{a|Passage}}'''|通路|Tsūro}} before reaching the relatively safe {{nihongo|'''{{a|Inner Chamber}}'''|最深部|Saishinbu}}. From there, the party traverses the ledges and cliffs of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Valley of the Dead}}'''|亡者の谷|Mōja no Tani}} before reaching {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hades' Chamber}}'''|ハデスの間|Hadesu no Ma}}.
{{main|Underworld}}
 
The area gains a drastic expansion in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', as the [[Underworld]] can now be accessed through the '''Coliseum Gates'''. The Lobby has also been renamed to the '''{{a|Coliseum Foyer}}'''.
Later in the story, the second path opens and allows the group to enter the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Underworld Caverns}}'''|冥界の大空洞|Meikai no Dai Kūdō|lit. "Great Cavity of the Underworld"}}. After going down through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Entrance}}'''|入口|Iriguchi}}, the party travels through {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Lost Road}}'''|迷いの道|Mayoi no Michi}}, which in turn leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Atrium}}'''|広間|Hiroma|lit. "Hall"}}. After an encounter with [[Demyx]], the party passes through to {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Lock}}'''|封印の間|Fūin no Ma|lit. "Chamber of the Seal"}}, where Meg can be rescued and a boss battle with [[Pete]] takes place.

===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts coded'' the Coliseum is similar to that of previous games, but with the addition of the data world's Keyhole now being explorable. Data-Sora arrives at the world at the Coliseum Gates, renamed '''{{a|Outside the Coliseum}}''', and goes into the '''{{a|Vestibule}}''' inside the Coliseum. There the Keyhole can be accessed which is divided into thirty floors, called "layers", with multiple '''{{a|Save Room}}s''' spaced out between them. After Data-Sora completes '''{{a|Layer 01-05}}''', he unlocks '''{{a|Layer 06-15}}'''; after those are completed, he unlocks '''{{a|Layer 16-30}}'''.

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' the area called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Town Near Thebes}}'''|テーベの町|Tēbe no Machi|lit. "Town of Thebes"}} is introduced and can be accessed through the '''Coliseum Gates'''.
The Coliseum has the same appearance as ''Kingdom Hearts'', but unlike the other games, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Coliseum Gates}}'''|コロシアム:入口広場|Koroshiamu: Iriguchi Hiroba|lit. "Coliseum: Entrance Plaza"}}, which were originally connected to the exit in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and the [[Underworld]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', is now a pathway to a {{nihongo|'''{{a|Town Near Thebes}}'''|テーベの町|Tēbe no Machi|lit. "Town of Thebes"}}. The Lobby has additionally been renamed the '''{{a|Vestibule}}'''.
