The '''Kingdom of Corona''' is a world in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is based on the Disney film, ''{{w|Tangled}}''. It is a coastal kingdom whose princess, [[Rapunzel]], was kidnapped by the witch [[Mother Gothel]].

During the D23 Expo Japan 2018 convention, Tetsuya Nomura explained that gameplay footage of Kingdom of Corona was delayed due to needing time to refine the rendering of Rapunzel's hair,<ref>[https://www.khinsider.com/news/D23-Details-on-Rapunzel-s-Hair-and-Other-Development-Information-11285 D23: Details on Rapunzel's Hair, Rare Heartless and Other Development Information]</ref> which is designed to interact with the terrain of the world.<ref name="IGN">[http://jp.ign.com/kingdom-hearts-iii-ps4/21908/news/d23-expo-japaniii11 IGN Japan: New Information About ''Kingdom Hearts III'' at D23 Expo Japan]; [https://www.khinsider.com/news/IGN-Japan-11-new-pieces-of-information-about-KINGDOM-HEARTS-3-11298 Translation via KHInsider]</ref>

This is the first world in the series where a [[party]] member, Rapunzel, is no longer available after the world is completed.

 

===The Forest===

{{nihongo|'''The Forest'''|森|Mori}} is vast and beautiful, and encompasses most of the world. [[Sora]] and party arrive nearby Rapunzel's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower}}'''|塔|Tō}}, located near the bottom of a waterfall. The outside area is fully exploreable though the inside of the tower can not be entered, and is only shown in cutscenes. Heading through the cave entrance leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hills}}'''|丘陵|Kyūryō}}, where the [[Orange Flan]] is directly located outside the cave's entry point. East of the area is a small cave where at the north end contains a battlegate. Heading west leads to more parts of the forest, which goes on for a while. Throughout the world are many signs marked with "Corona" which point in the direction of the Kingdom.

 

 

 

===Before ''Kingdom Hearts III''===

Born with the golden hair with healing magic, [[Rapunzel]] was kidnapped by [[Mother Gothel]] ever since Rapunzel was a baby. Mother Gothel raised Rapunzel ever since, warning Rapunzel of the dangers of the outside world. This eventually led to Mother Gothel psychologically manipulating Rapunzel to stay in a hidden tower and never set foot outside. Every year on her birthday, Rapunzel would secretly peer out through the tower window to view the floating lanterns. Unknown to Rapunzel, the floating lanterns were set by Rapunzel's biological parents, the king and queen of Corona.

 

[[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] idly wander through the forest of Corona, not knowing their reason in visiting such a tranquil world. The trio runs into [[Flynn Rider]], who is trying to escape from a group of [[Heartless]]. As the trio prepares to take down the Heartless, Flynn quickly flees.

 

After taking down the group of Heartless, Sora wonders where Flynn went, and the trio backtrack to a dead end of the forest. Presumed that Flynn escaped safely, Sora accidentally discovers a secret passage hidden by foliage. The trio follows the secret passage to the hidden tower, where Flynn is being held captured by Rapunzel. Rapunzel makes a deal with Flynn, by returning his satchel in exchanged for a safe round journey to view the floating lanterns.

 

As Sora, Donald, and Goofy reunite with Flynn, Rapunzel for the first time sets foot outside. Though she is initially elated at being outside for the first time, she quickly gets into an internal war with herself while Flynn recruits Sora and company as his "sidekicks" to fight the Heartless. During their journey, Sora helps Rapunzel enjoy the outside world, such as playing in the water and saving a group of rabbits. Back in the tower, Gothel discovers that Rapunzel has gone missing and encounters [[Marluxia]], who strikes a deal with her to find Rapunzel.

 

The group stumble upon a flower-like pod, which soon reveals itself to be a [[Reaper]] [[Nobody]]. Rapunzel and Flynn flee the scene as Sora and company fight the Nobodies. The Reapers' master, Marluxia, arrives and advises Sora to keep an eye out for Rapunzel. Sora and company then search for Rapunzel in a marsh and encounter Gothel, who deems them useless after they tell her they have no idea where Rapunzel is.

 

At a campsite, Rapunzel and Flynn encounter [[Maximus]], a horse who was chasing after Flynn, and convince him to join them on their journey. Sora and company reunite with Rapunzel and Flynn, and make their way towards the Kingdom. During the Kingdom's festival, Rapunzel encounters a mural displaying the Kingdom's lost princess. Following a dance in the town square, the town releases the lanterns as Rapunzel and Flynn watch. However, Flynn leaves Rapunzel due to having to do something important, and Rapunzel, after encountering Marluxia, is "saved" by Mother Gothel.
