| '''Prankster's Paradise''' is a [[Sleeping World]] that is featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. A simulation appears in the [[Mirage Arena]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Development==
| | '''Prankster's Paradise''' is a placeholder name for a world briefly featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'' and set to appear in the upcoming ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' as a world submerged in sleep that needs to be awakened <ref>[http://i42.tinypic.com/wjbb88.jpg Famitsu scan of Prankster's Paradise]</ref>. It is based on ''[[wikipedia:Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio]]''. |
| A world based on ''Pinocchio'' was originally intended to appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', but was removed due to time constraints.
| |
| | |
| [[Tetsuya Nomura]] explained that the planned plot for the world was set in a circus and playing off the story of Pinocchio, a puppet with a heart, and the Nobodies who possess no heart, then planned for a sad episode with [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]] looking for hope for themselves. The world would have included a human [[Pinocchio]], [[Geppetto]], and the villains Honest John and Gideon from the original film. The profile sprites for the characters still appear within the final game's data.
| |
| | |
| The Rough House is seen in an early render of the Amusement Park, but was removed in the final game. The positions of the carousel and several tents were also changed.
| |
| | |
| ==Setting and Areas==
| |
| <!--===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix''===
| |
| In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', the battle against [[Monstro]] is set in a large oceanic area with a number of shipwrecks and rafts known as the '''{{a|Star Ocean}}'''{{?}}.-->
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
| |
| ====Prankster's Paradise====
| |
| [[File:Prankster's Paradise 03 KH3D.png|thumb|200px|left|The Amusement Park at Pleasure Island.]]
| |
| Most of Prankster's Paradise setting takes place on '''{{a|Pleasure Island}}'''. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Amusement Park}}'''|遊園地|Yuenchi}} is a large theme park with a few towers, a Ferris wheel and a carousel. A roller-coaster track is also present, encompassing the entire area. A path leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Windup Way}}'''|からくりトンネル|Karakuri Tonneru|lit. "Machinery Tunnel"}}, a long path that features some displays from the circus, including dancing {{w|marionette}}s and the large face of a clown whose eyes follow Sora. There is also a large room with another carousel with various animals, a rippling path and finally a large room leading to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Circus}}'''|サーカス|Sākasu}}. This area is a round room with {{w|bleacher}}s and three trampolines in the middle with some trapeze swings hanging from the ceiling. Another path beyond the circus is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Promontory}}'''|岬|Misaki|lit. "Cape"}}, that is a short path viewing and leading into the ocean, along this path is a closed-in area with steps and water puddles. Beyond this is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ocean Floor}}'''|海中の道|Kaichū no Michi|lit. "Undersea Road"}}, a large sandy area under the sea with rocks stacking on top of each other and whirlpools that lead to other areas. The final area is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ocean Depths}}'''|海の底|Umi no Soko|lit. "Bottom of the Sea"}}, leading to a dark and gloomy section of the ocean that leads to the {{nihongo|'''Sea Surface'''|海上|Kaijō}}, the area where Sora battles the Chill Clawbster. After the Chill Clawbster has been defeated, the exit from the Ocean's Depths is blocked off and the Sea Surface can only be accessed through the Secret Portal, located in the Promontory.

| | |
| ====Monstro====
| |
| The minority of Prankster's Paradise is set inside [[Monstro]] the Whale, where many of the areas are Monstro's digestive system. The opening area is {{nihongo|'''{{a|Monstro: Mouth}}'''|モンストロ:口|Monsutoro: Kuchi}}, similarly designed to its ''Kingdom Hearts'' counterpart. However, Geppetto's boat is now on the left side of the mouth instead. There's also only one entrance at the end now as opposed to two which it previously had. Across the water are also various barrels Riku can use to move around on. Leaving the Mouth takes Riku to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Monstro: Gullet}}'''|モンストロ:食道|Monsutoro: Shokudō}}, a massive room with a number of ledges and numerous piles of wood. Beyond here is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Monstro: Belly}}'''|モンストロ:胃袋|Monsutoro: Ibukuro|lit. Monstro: Stomach"}}, a room with numerous smaller chambers that can be flipped upside down with the numerous uvulas dotting the area. The largest part of this area has a HP-depleting acidic floor, much like a human stomach would have with {{w|hydrochloric acid}}. Unlike many status effects, this one can reduce Riku's HP to 0. After the belly is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Monstro: Cavity}}'''|モンストロ:腹部|Monsuoro: Fukubu|lit. "Monstro: Abdomen"}}, a large blue-colored room, which can also be flipped upside down. The area appears at first quite open and barren, however, by hitting a specific uvula a lot of platforms will arise from the ground transforming the room radically. At the end is a long-winding path that leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Monstro: Bowels}}'''|モンストロ:腸|Monsutoro: Chō}}, a rectangular area that is mostly barren with the exception of two uvulas that allow Riku to flip the room. This area serves as the battle arena for the fight against [[Char Clawbster]].

| | ===''Kingdom Hearts''=== |
| A digital copy of Prankster's Paradise is used as the battlefield of the "[[Monster of the Sea]]" battle at the [[Mirage Arena]], in which [[Terra]], [[Aqua]], and [[Ventus]] battle against and within [[Monstro]].-->
| | At one point, Prankster's Paradise is attacked by [[Heartless]] led by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and subsequently destroyed. The only known survivors are [[Pinocchio]], [[Geppetto]], [[Jiminy Cricket]], Cleo and [[Monstro]] (Figaro appears only in the manga). Following Ansem's demise, the world is apparently not restored, but submerged in sleep. |
| | |
| ===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
| |
| Prankster's Paradise was destroyed by the [[Heartless]]. During the chaos of the destruction of their world, [[Geppetto]], [[Pinocchio]], and [[Jiminy Cricket]] were separated, each landing in a different world; Geppetto was swallowed by [[Monstro]], Pinocchio washed up in [[Traverse Town]], and Jiminy Cricket wound up at [[Disney Castle]]. Though it was restored after [[Sora]] defeated [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] and destroyed the [[End of the World]] with Pinocchio and Geppetto returning to that [[world]], Prankster's Paradise remained in a deep sleep instead of returning to the [[Realm of Light]], plagued by [[Nightmare]] [[Dream Eaters]].

| Sora first arrives in the Amusement Park and he marvels at it until he notices Jiminy Cricket, musing to himself about the missing Pinocchio. Sora approaches him, but Jiminy does not recognize Sora, and Sora realizes that this Jiminy is part of the world's dream. Jiminy explains Pleasure Island to Sora, then remembers that Pinocchio had been told by a [[Young Xehanort|man in a black coat]] to play a trick on Sora.
| | A recent issue of V-Jump magazine features Pinocchio and Jiminy inside Stromboli's cage, with Pinocchio's nose having grown apparently due to lies. They claim that they are in a circus train trapped within Monstro. The same issue also features a profile of Pinocchio with his trademark donkey ears and tail, which he acquired in Pleasure Island for bad behaviour. In all cases, Pinocchio appears to have reverted to puppet form, but this has yet to be explained, since Pinocchio was shown to have become a real boy at the end of the first game. |
| | |
| Sora agrees to help Jiminy look for Pinocchio and they search the park, encountering several Dream Eaters disguised as the puppet. Jiminy gets discouraged, but Sora spots Pinocchio entering Windup Way, and they follow after him, finally catching up to him in the Circus. Sora rescues him from Dream Eaters, and he and Jiminy escapes while Sora defeats the Nightmares. After clearing the area, Sora is suddenly confronted by [[Xehanort|the unknown man]] and [[Xemnas]], to Sora's confusion. Xemnas mocks Sora, remarking on Pinocchio having grown a [[heart]] and comparing Sora to a [[Nobody]] before disappearing again with the other figure.
| |
| | |
| He continues on to the Promontory, where he is met by the [[Blue Fairy]], who tells him that Geppetto has been swallowed by Monstro and that Pinocchio and Jiminy have followed after him. Sora follows them underwater, and finds them in time to see Monstro swallow them. He tries to swim after them, but he is overtaken by the [[Chill Clawbster]], which freezes Monstro solid. Sora battles the Dream Eater atop the ice, and in the course of the battle, he frees Monstro, encasing him in a bubble. When they catch up to the Chill Clawbster, Monstro escapes the bubble and swallows the Nightmare, blowing Sora away in the process. Sora wakes up on a beach, where he contemplates the events that lead to the world being swallowed by [[darkness]] and Pinocchio, Jiminy, and Monstro being cast into the sea between worlds. The [[Sleeping Keyhole]] appears over the water, and Sora unlocks it.
| |
| | |
| In the meantime, [[Riku]] arrives in the mouth of Monstro, where he finds Geppetto calling for Pinocchio. Riku offers to help search, and Jiminy tells him Pinocchio left with someone in a [[black coat]]. Jiminy accompanies Riku as he explores the inside Monstro, and they eventually find him and the black-coated figure. The figure prompts Pinocchio to return to Riku and Jiminy, then, when Riku demands to know who he is, he removes his hood to reveal Riku's own face before leaving through a [[corridor of darkness]]. Riku tells Jiminy and Pinocchio about his dark past, and Pinocchio and Jiminy ask if Riku has a friend who can show him the right path, reminding him of Sora.
| |
| | |
| They hear a roar in the distance, and Riku sends Jiminy and Pinocchio back while he continues on to face the [[Char Clawbster]], which he defeats. As Geppetto and Pinocchio are reunited, Riku recalls [[Yen Sid]]'s words on the dreaming worlds, and he unlocks the world's [[Keyhole]].

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *One of the signs in front of Windup Way bears the words "Daring Journey" in reference to the ride "Pinocchio's Daring Journey" from Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Park in Anaheim, and Disneyland Paris. | | *Prankster's Paradise was originally meant to appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' with Pinocchio as a real boy, but was removed due to time constraints. Sprites of several characters are in the game's coding. An area based on the world appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', but in the [[Mirage Arena]]. |
| | *Prankster's Paradise will be the second featured world based on ''Pinocchio'', the first being Monstro, even though Monstro himself is not essentially a real world. |
