Kingdom Hearts features a mixture of familiar Disney and Final Fantasy characters, as well as several new characters designed and created by Nomura. Though the series features locations unique to the Kingdom Hearts franchise, worlds from Disney films are heavily explored. Sora must visit these worlds and interact with popular Disney characters to protect them from enemies. Often, Sora's actions in these worlds follow closely to the storylines featured in their accompanying Disney films.

Often, Sora's actions in these worlds follow closely to the storylines featured in their accompanying Disney films. In dialog, Donald Duck tells Sora not to interfere with the worlds too much, since it would cause problems. Moogles, small creatures from Final Fantasy, are another common element in the games. They provide the player with a synthesis shop in order to create items for use in the game. | ||

The three main games in Kingdom Hearts series focus on the adventures of [[Sora]] and his search for his friends, [[Kairi]] and [[Riku]]. The first game shows how Sora is separated from his friends when their world is invaded by an army of corrupted hearts known as the [[Heartless]]. During the invasion, he obtains a special weapon known as a [[Keyblade]]. Soon after, Sora meets [[Donald Duck]], the Disney Castle court magician, and [[Goofy]], the [[Disney Castle]] captain of the royal guard. Donald and Goofy are searching for the "key" per instructions from [[King Mickey]]. The three band together and travel to different Disney themed worlds, sealing the hearts of the worlds to prevent more Heartless invasions. Along the way they encounter a group of Disney villains, led by [[Maleficent]], that are controlling the Heartless. The three eventually discover that a man named Ansem is the true antagonist. Ansem's plan is to open the door to Kingdom Hearts. Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat [[Ansem]], and seal the door with the help of Riku and King Mickey on the other side of the door. | The three main games in Kingdom Hearts series focus on the adventures of [[Sora]] and his search for his friends, [[Kairi]] and [[Riku]].

After sealing the door to [[Kingdom Hearts (combined heart)|Kingdom Hearts]], the three begin searching for Riku and King Mickey. They encounter a mysterious fortress called [[Castle Oblivion]].
