The {{nihongo|'''Labyrinth'''|迷宮|Meikyū}}, or '''glitched Coliseum''', is an area within [[Olympus Coliseum]]'s [[Keyhole]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. It is home to the {{nihongo|'''Turn-based RPG style'''|ターン制RPG風|Tān-sei RPG-fu}} gameplay mode. 

During the first visit, only five floors, called {{nihongo|'''Layers'''|レイヤー|Reiyā}}, can be explored. After completing the story, a total of fifteen layers are available, and upon clearing those, a total of thirty layers become available.

Along the way, [[Data-Sora]] find several pieces of information explaining the new mechanics, called '''Hercules Memos''' in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', and {{nihongo|'''shreds of wisdom'''|メモを拾う|Memo wo Hirō|lit. "Pick Up Memo"}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
When Olympus Coliseum is filled with bugs, Data-Sora promptly finds the world's Keyhole and enters it to reach the labyrinth. He teams up with Hercules and Cloud to destroy the bug sources. 

[[Hades]] and [[Cerberus]] are fought on Layer 05, the [[Rock Titan]] is encountered on Layer 15, the [[Behemoth]] is faced on Layer 25, and finally the true source of the bugs, the [[Ice Titan]], is battled on Layer 30. 

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
After discovering that [[Olympus Coliseum]] is infested with bugs and [[Hercules]] hasn't returned from destroying them, [[Data-Sora]] promptly finds and enters the world's Keyhole to reach the labyrinth. After finding several "shreds of wisdom", Data-Sora finds Hercules and the two team up. Later, they battle [[Cloud]], who was tricked into attacking Hercules by [[Hades]]. After losing the battle, Data-Sora and Hercules forgive Cloud for his mistake and offer to join forces but to no avail. In a state of shame and humility, Cloud denies and decides to go his own way. Deeper into the labyrinth, Data-Sora and Hercules find Cloud struggling against a horde of [[Heartless]] and insist on helping despite Cloud's protests and reluctance. Eventually, the Heartless are overcome and the three agree to journey together.

If the player avoids Cloud, Data-Sora and Hercules can continue on without helping and joining him.

The three soon defeat Cerberus, one of Hades's henchman. and the supposed source of the world's bugs. Enraged, Hades fights the party himself, only to come out as the loser. Data-Sora then realises that Cerberus wasn't causing the bugs, meaning the party had to venture even deeper into the labyrinth. During their travels, the party destroy the [[Behemoth]] and [[Rock Titan]], which were also wrongly believed to be causing the world's bugs. Once they get to the end, the trio encounter the [[Ice Titan]] and defeat it to discover that it was the source of the world's bugs. Finally successful, Data-Sora and Hercules report to [[Philoctetes]] while Cloud leaves to go his own separate way.

If the player is only doing five layers, Cerberus is found to still be the source of the world's bugs and the party return to Phil after battling Hades. If the player is doing fifteen layers, the Rock Titan is the bug source and the party return after defeating it.

==Mechanics==
While in the field, [[Data-Sora]] retains all movement abilities but has no combat capabilities, except striking with the [[Keyblade]]. A typical layer contains several rooms with corridors connecting them. Each room is affected by the [[Bug Level]], which indicates the amount of [[Bug Blox]] in the room and determines the strength of that room's enemies. Destroying [[Bug Blox]] and defeating [[Heartless]] reduces the Bug Level, which weakens enemies, earns bonus score points and converts Metal and Danger Blox into Normal and Prize Blox. To advance to the next layer, Data-Sora must find and examine the warp point, usually hidden beneath a pile of Bug Blox. At the end of each layer, a score is given based on the amount of [[score prizes]] obtained and the number of rooms completely debugged.<!-- Verify: Lowering the difficulty reduces the value of rewards obtained at the end of the labyrinth. --> Save rooms are special areas between certain layers, that contain save points. They appear after layers 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 09, 10, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, and 29.

To initiate a battle, Data-Sora must come into contact or strike an enemy with the Keyblade. If Data-Sora attacks an enemy from the back, he will trigger a pre-emptive attack, giving him an extra turn at the start of the battle. However, if an enemy attacks Data-Sora from the back, Data-Sora will be caught in a back attack, giving the enemy an extra turn at the start of the battle. Swirling shadows, known as {{nihongo|'''{{a|menace}}s'''|黒い影|Kuroi Kage|lit. "Black Shadow"}}, contain powerful enemies that pursue Data-Sora even if he is in another room or corridor.

In combat, most abilities and the Loot Cheat are disabled since battles are entirely turn-based. Data-Sora can perform a regular attack by pressing {{button|dsa}} and can string combos up to three hits by pressing {{button|dsa}} when prompted.  When an enemy attacks, blocking can be achieved by pressing {{button|dsy}} when prompted, halving the damage taken. Holding down {{button|shoulderr}}, allows the party to attempt to escape the battle. Team combat with [[party members]], such as [[Hercules]] or [[Cloud]], is similar to individual combat, though [[Game Over]] is only achieved when [[Data-Sora]]'s health is fully depleted. Some techniques are exclusive to [[Data-Sora]], including '''compiled commands''' and [[license]]s. However, all characters can perform a unique, individual '''special attack''', which randomly replaces a standard combo attack.

There are also special [[License]]s that become available throughout the Labyrinth which can produce different effects. Depending on the specific license and its effect, the license may be either be used for battle or in the field and may either generate an immediate effect or grant a lasting status condition. More Licenses become available the deeper Data-Sora goes, though only eight varieties can be carried at once.

===Special attacks===
{{nihongo|'''Special attacks'''|スペシャル攻撃|Supesharu Kōgeki}} are powerful combo finishers that have a 10% chance of activating after each hit when correctly pressing the {{button|dsa}} button.
