In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', most of the [[world]]s and their barriers were restored, leaving no way to travel between them. About a year later, [[Yen Sid]] tells [[Sora]] and his friends that the worlds have prepared [[Gummi Missions#List of Gummi Routes|new pathways]] which can be be utilized by unlocking special {{nihongo|'''Gates'''|ゲート|Gēto}}. The [[Heartless]] and the [[Nobodies]] are still using their own paths: [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]], to travel from world to world. They are also able to link these dark pathways to the gates between the worlds, resulting in the appearance of [[Gummi Enemies]] on these paths. A good portion of the Gates are revealed in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.

The Gates are opened when a specific item or object, different for each world, is surrounded in light and is accompanied by a gust of wind. The item in question reveals the [[Keyhole]] to a route and then Sora spins his [[Keyblade]] and unseals the Gate. Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] continue on their adventures thereafter with the new route opened. When Sora unlocks a world's gate, a symbol shaped like Sora's crown pendant appears beneath him.

It is likely that worlds within worlds do not have Gates, because the outer world's Gate also serves as their own. This appears to be true for [[Space Paranoids]], [[100 Acre Wood]], and [[Timeless River]].

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', the comatose [[Ventus]] opens a Gate to the [[Land of Departure]].
