While organizing the records in Jiminy's journal from his travels with Sora and his friends, [[Jiminy Cricket]]'s curiosity about the line "Thank [[Naminé]]" results in him finding a message that he did not write: "We must return to free them from their torment." To investigate this message, King Mickey digitizes the contents of the journal and goes into the simulated world to investigate; awakening a virtual [[Data-Sora]] on the virtual Destiny Islands to carry out the contents of the journal to uncover the identity of "them". | ||
As Data-Sora awakens on Destiny Islands, he encounters numerous "bugs", which take the form of red and black blocks, covering the whole world. Upon eliminating the Heartless and destroying the bugs, Sora traverses to other worlds infected with bugs to return them to normal, following the cloaked figure upon orders from King Mickey. | As Data-Sora awakens on Destiny Islands, he encounters numerous "bugs", which take the form of red and black blocks, covering the whole world.

Sora opens the next door to find Naminé, who reveals the bugs to have been an unintentional side effect of her attempt to restore Sora's memories. She then reveals Sora's nature as the "Key that connects everything" through his ties with herself, Roxas, and Xion. Furthermore, Naminé tells Data-Sora about three figures ([[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]]) also tied to Sora's heart who are the ones referred to in the message and need his help. Mickey bids farewell to the Data-Sora and promises Naminé that he will inform the real Sora of this. | Sora opens the next door to find Naminé, who reveals the bugs to have been an unintentional side effect of her attempt to restore Sora's memories.

''Kingdom Hearts coded'' utilizes the traditional action-based combat of previous games condensed into a mobile phone-friendly isometric format. Data-Sora can jump, [[Dodge Roll]], [[Guard]] and attack with his [[Keyblade]]. Only the "[[Attack]]" command is available by default as the [[Command Menu]]'s only selection. Players can expand the command menu at any moment to select [[Debug Ability|Debug Abilities]] or [[Items]]; doing so pauses the game. | ''Kingdom Hearts coded'' utilizes the traditional action-based combat of previous games condensed into a mobile phone-friendly isometric format.
