'''Corridors of Darkness''' are unpredictable pathways that interlink the worlds of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. The Heartless use these extensively to reach other worlds, as do members of [[Organization XIII]], their subordinate [[Nobody|Nobodies]], and many other characters. These pathways are formed out of Darkness, so it is unsafe for a normal person to travel them, because the constant use of these corridors would corrupt one's heart.

The Heartless use these extensively to reach other worlds, as do members of [[Organization XIII]], their subordinate [[Nobody|Nobodies]], and many other characters. These pathways are formed out of Darkness, so it is unsafe for a normal person to travel them, because the constant use of these corridors would corrupt one's heart. However, the Heartless, the Nobodies, and the Princesses of Heart don't have to worry about this, since the Heartless already have corrupted hearts, the Nobodies do not have hearts to corrupt, and the Princesses of Heart have hearts made out of pure light. An example of the Princesses of Heart's immunity would be, when Axel was kidnapping Kairi, he took her through a Corridor of Darkness. Kairi was wearing normal clothes, yet she wasn't affected by the Darkness, as her heart was made out of pure light. One upside to the Darkness in the Corridors is that it provides a faster means of travel than the Gummi Ships. | ||
Other characters who have used these corridors include Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, King Mickey, [[Kairi]], Riku, [[Naminé]], [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]], and even [[Pluto]]. Of these, only Riku, Naminé and DiZ have been responsible for summoning the portals, and only Heartless and Nobodies aren't affected, with two noted exceptions; according to Nomura in the [[Director's Secret Report XIII]], Riku and Mickey aren't affected by darkness at all, due to some "''secret similarities''". Ironically, in the first ''Kingdom Hearts'', after the face-off in Neverland, Riku's heart was significantly weakened as he carelessly used a Corridor of Darkness to return to Hollow Bastion. Nomura goes further to state that DiZ and the Beast can successfully use the Corridors of Darkness, and perhaps open them, due to their particularly strong feelings. Furthermore, despite Sora having used the Corridors of Darkness several times before, he has not used them frequently enough to allow the Darkness to stain his heart. The influential power of Darkness depends on the strength of a person's heart. | Other characters who have used these corridors include Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, King Mickey, [[Kairi]], Riku, [[Naminé]], [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]], and even [[Pluto]].
