While any unopened treasure chest from the manor will reappear in the ditch after the battle, the [[Red Trinity]] must be activated before the battle or it will be unobtainable. This bug was corrected in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''. | |||
In | In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the field and battle theme of Christmas Town were the same as Halloween Town. However, in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Christmas Town was given unique music tracks: "[[What A Surprise?!]]" and "[[Happy Holidays!]]", as the field and battle theme, respectively. They both were included on the ninth disc of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack Complete]]''. | ||

The Guillotine Square has been renamed to '''{{a|Halloween Town Square}}''', and takes on a slightly different appearance: the fountain now squirts water that deals damage, the guillotine can come down to damage characters if they pass beneath it, the gates with presents behind them deal damage if Sora and company come near it, and nearby grates spew poisonous gas.

By the time Sora, Donald and Goofy return to Halloween Town, it has been decorated for Christmas. They run into Jack, who appoints them to act as bodyguards so he can bring [[Santa Claus]] to see all his work. [[Maleficent]] arrives shortly afterwards and recruits Lock, Shock and Barrel as minions to destroy Christmas Town. However, when Jack's group arrive to see Santa, Maleficent changes her plans to getting revenge on Sora and the others first. Upon hearing [[Oogie Boogie]] had been destroyed by Sora, she brings him back to assist in ruining Christmas. Maleficent and Oogie kidnap Santa, leaving the [[Prison Keeper]] behind to assist Lock, Shock and Barrel in delaying the heroes. Sora and co. destroy the Heartless and learn of Oogie's return. [[Sally]] finds them and informs them that Santa has been captured. | By the time Sora, Donald and Goofy return to Halloween Town, it has been decorated for Christmas.

In Christmas Town, Maleficent prepares to turn Santa into a Heartless, but is then dismissed by Oogie. Sora and co. arrive and fight Oogie, who has converted the toy factory into a Heartless-producing machine. Beating Oogie, the bag of bugs springs leaks and Donald steps on the bug serving as Oogie's brain. Though Jack wishes to continue his plan to help Santa, Santa tells Jack that he is needed to manage Halloween just as Christmas needs him, which Jack accepts and decides to look for new ways to create fear. Jack's Santa suit glows and opens new [[Gate]], which Sora promptly unlocks, allowing passage to [[Pride Lands]]. | |||

On their second visit, Sora, Donald, and Goofy learn from Jack that [[Present|Christmas presents]] are being stolen, and resolve to find out who and to what end. After discovering that Lock, Shock, and Barrel and the Heartless are not to blame, they visit Santa and request to make [[Decoy Presents]] to draw out the thief. After hiding in a huge box, they surprise the thief, which happens to be Dr. Finkelstein's [[The Experiment|Experiment]]. A battle goes on with the raging machine, but Sora and co. come out on top, learning from Dr. Finkelstein later that the Experiment wished only to know the happiness that Christmas brings. Jack, all the while, thinks the box makes the magic, but learns from Sora that what matters is the principle of giving. After this, Jack and Sally share a romantic moment in the snow, with Donald and Goofy comforting Sora about giving [[Kairi]] a real Christmas present, one that comes from his heart. | On their second visit, Sora, Donald, and Goofy learn from Jack that [[Present|Christmas presents]] are being stolen, and resolve to find out who and to what end.

==Trivia== | |||
*The save point at Oogie's Manor, i.e. '''Evil Playroom''', does appear at the landing menu of the gummi sequence as long as the manor is up. After defeating Oogie Boogie and sealing the Keyhole in Halloween Town, the save point at '''Guillotine Gate''' is the sole save point in Halloween Town. | |||
*In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the music played during the introductory cutscene is an unnamed variant of "[[This is Halloween]]" with a lower key and different instrumentation. This song is not included on the original soundtrack. | |||
*In the first game, the Countdown to Halloween is set to 36 Days until next Halloween, which implies that the events of Halloween Town take place on September 25th, exactly 36 days before Halloween. | |||
<!--citation needed | |||
*Halloween Town has more detailed textures because it is based on stop-motion rather than traditional animation. The Heartless in this world change skin texture to match this. Strangely, this does not happen in [[Port Royal]], despite that world's even more realistic graphics.--> | |||
*After the [[Final Keyhole]] is opened, Halloween Town is the only world to not have its level increased. | |||
