Editing Monstropolis

==Creation and development==

Tetsuya Nomura revealed that trial models for the Toy Story and Monster's Inc. characters were at one point originally set to appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', with negotiations from Pixar to have them appear in the game before they were shelved.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "After KH2 was released, Pixar was purchased by Disney. Did this expand the range of worlds available for you to include in this title?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Actually, we did make a few trial models of characters from Monsters Inc and Toy Story during the production of KH2, and we did begin negotiations to have them appear in the game. We did have to shelve them in the end, but I felt I couldn't make KH3 without including Pixar works, so I started up negotiations again—and this time, the situation between Disney and Pixar had changed, and we were able to make it happen. After we had finished deciding all the worlds for this game, Disney and Pixar kept releasing fascinating titles. I found myself wishing over and over again that we could have included this and that."

Monstropolis encompasses all of the distinctive central locations to the Monsters Inc. factory.  

 

 

The world begins in the '''Lobby & Offices''' area. The initial area is a large circular hub-like area which features dual maps of the world over-looking it at opposite ends. Behind this area is access to scare floors K-P. Proceeding though a few small hallway sections leads to '''The Laugh Floor''', marked off as floor F and color in green. The Laugh Floor is spacious room containing office departments on the left and door stations on the right, which allow monsters to enter the human world. Accessing the door station between Mike and Sulley allows for Sora to access the '''The Door Vault'''.  

 

 

 

The initial area of the factory is '''The Basement'''. Continuing to the next room leads to a yellow conveyor belt where initially the lasers must be dodged to continue. The next room is a series of hallways known as '''The Ground Floor'''. At the end of this room is a yellow elevator which will take the party to '''The Second Floor.''' Through the next series of hallways leads to a yellow lighted room which exits into another yellow conveyor belt section. Exiting the factory leads to '''The Power Plant'''.

'''The Power Plant'''

Exiting through the initial brick hallways leads to the outside area known as '''The Power Plant'''. Reaching the top of the power plant known as the '''Accessway''' leads to a dive that allows exploration of the '''Tank Yard'''. The crane allows the party to re-access the accessway. Utilizing the rail way on the right side leads to an indoor structure which contains a battlegate. The '''Vault Passage''' is directly after this and leads back to the '''Service Area''' which is at the very bottom door vault area. Taking the elevator at the end of room will take the party back to upper level of the door vault.

Before Sora and company can return Boo to her door, the door is sent all the way back to the Laugh Floor. There they run into [[Vanitas]], who reveals he had come to Monstropolis to reconstruct his heart and had manipulated Randall. He also reveals to Sora the existence of [[Ventus]], who is still inside Sora's heart. Before he prepares to extract Ventus's heart to complete his own, Sulley grabs Vanitas and throws him through several doors before shredding the last one. Sora, Donald, and Goofy then take their leave, bidding farewell to Mike and Sulley.  

<!--Later in [[San Fransokyo]], when [[Fred]] removes his monster mask to reveal his human face, Sora is relieved and nearly expresses his belief that this is the same world as Monstropolis, but Donald and Goofy stop him from breaking the world order.-->

*'''Trailer Son and Mom''' do not appear in the game physically, but are heard.
