====Bahamut summon==== | |||
[[w:c:finalfantasy:Bahamut|Bahamut]] was originally planned to appear as a summon in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but was removed before the game was released. Through cheat codes, a "Bahamut" option can appear in the Summons menu and can be selected. However, since there is nothing on the game disc to execute, the game will crash when chosen. | |||

A world based on the locations of the film ''Toy Story'' was at one point considered. This is shown in the ''Hidden Treasures: A Kingdom Hearts Design Documents'', and was part of the proposal folder shown to Buena Vista.{{fact}} | |||

In the game proposal folder that was prepared by Square to present the game's visual style, gameplay and plot elements to Buena Vista, a Station featuring [[Alice]] is shown, which was later omitted in favor of the pink [[Princesses of Heart]] Station. | |||

===Crumbling Island=== | |||
An area known as the Crumbling Island was meant to appear in the [[End of the World]] as the setting for the final battle between [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] before [[Game:Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|the climactic battle with Ansem]]. It appears as a remnant of [[Destiny Islands]], consumed by the darkness. The area itself is reminiscent of the Secret Place, where Ansem is introduced for the very first time. | An area known as the Crumbling Island was meant to appear in the [[End of the World]] as the setting for the final battle between [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] before [[Game:Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|the climactic battle with Ansem]].

At the end of the beta trailer, an '''alternate ''Kingdom Hearts'' logo''' is shown, the word "Kingdom" in standard golden text on top, the crown just above it, while "Hearts" is displayed in a toned down version of the standard logo's spiked font below. The trademark heart is absent. | At the end of the beta trailer, an '''alternate ''Kingdom Hearts'' logo''' is shown, the word "Kingdom" in standard golden text on top, the crown just above it, while "Hearts" is displayed in a toned down version of the standard logo's spiked font below.

===Deleted scenes=== | ====[[Assault Rider]]==== | ||
The '''Assault Rider''' was going to appear in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but was removed because it "didn't fit" in any of the worlds, possibly due to its style. It later appears in [[The Land of Dragons]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. | |||
====Deleted scenes==== | |||
In the E3 2001 trailer, the scene where Destiny Islands is destroyed plays out slightly differently from the final game. At the end of the trailer, Sora also manually inserts the Keyblade into Destiny Islands's Keyhole in the Secret Place; in the final version of the game, the Keyblade would shoot a beam to lock or unlock objects. | In the E3 2001 trailer, the scene where Destiny Islands is destroyed plays out slightly differently from the final game.

The other being a moment at the destruction of Destiny Islands where Riku is seen standing in an open armed position staring up and saying something to particularly anger Sora enough to attack him | |||
Donald and Goofy also have different attires all through the game, and the cutscene after the defeat of the Guard Armor is set closer to the world door of Traverse Town then in the final game. | |||
And there is a scene where Sora is seen running down an alleyway in Traverse Town from something almost falling over before turning around to look behind him.--> | |||

A screenshot from an early magazine scan shows the Dive to the Heart was set to appear in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', likely as a memory-fabricated floor in [[Castle Oblivion]], but was discarded. | |||

'''Deep Jungle''' was set to appear in the game—as an early screenshot of the game testifies—as was its Keyblade, Jungle King, as a [[Card]], but was removed due to Disney being unable to secure the rights to use ''Tarzan'' in future works. | |||

====[[Ultima Weapon|Edge of Ultima and Detection Saber]]==== | |||
Through the use of a cheating device, two palette swaps of the '''Ultima Weapon''' can be obtained in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. These are the "Edge of Ultima", a version of the original Ultima Weapon with a non-textured appearance, and the "Detection Saber", a palette swap of the original as well, except slightly larger. When these Keychains are accessed in Sora's Items menu, no picture of the Keyblades are shown, only map icons; additionally, they use the effects of the [[Oblivion]] Keychain. Using the same method, Donald and Goofy can achieve similar weapons called "Staff of Detection" and "Detection Shield" respectively. These weapons were most likely used as collision models to check if battles or cutscenes could glitch. | |||

The team eventually decided they would rather have Laguna appear in the latter, and so Laguna was ultimately left out of the final product.<ref>[http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/21/nomura_takahashi_dissidia/ Interview] "The FFVIII hero was actually supposed to have appeared in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Nomura revealed. They'd even partially prepared a scenario where Laguna appears as the head of Mirage Arena. In the end, they decided that if they were to have a new character from FFVIII in Duodecim it would end up being Laguna, so they left him out of BbS."</ref> As of yet, no data has been found in game of his planned appearance. | ||
