'''The Mysterious Tower''' is a world in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is the home of Master [[Yen Sid]], and serves as a starting point for Sora and Mickey's quests in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', respectively. It is a unique world that doesn't always remain in one place, so although it is considered part of [[Twilight Town]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', at other times it appears on its own.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Ultimania]]''''', '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "In the first place, the worlds in the rift between darkness and light have different rules than other worlds. The Mysterious Tower isn't always standing in a fixed place." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/KH3D-Ultimania-Interviews-Translated-2602 Translation via Goldpanner and SQEXGAL].</ref>

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===

A dream version of the Mysterious Tower appears as part of Symphony of Sorcery in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''.

[[Terra]] is the first of three Keyblade wielders to visit the tower. After learning that Master Xehanort is at the Keyblade Graveyard from the [[Magic Mirror]], Terra goes to see the former Keyblade Master, Yen Sid to gain more information. As he arrives, he sees Mickey disappear into a flash of light from his [[Star Shard]]. Terra continues to go see Yen Sid. Yen Sid sensed Terra's arrival and Mickey's departure as he can sense the movements of Keyblade wielders. Yen Sid says he feels that the Unversed and Xehanort may be connected and sends Terra back on his search for Xehanort. As the young man leaves, Yen Sid asks himself if Xehanort still has "distracting thoughts".

[[Ventus]] appears here accidentally by the Star Shard while visiting [[Neverland]]. As he lands, Donald and Goofy are sitting outside wondering where their King has gone. They at first mistake Ven for the king but then take him upstairs to Yen Sid. The old man notes that Eraqus ordered Ven to return home, but says Ven is just like Mickey that way. Ven says that he does not know where Mickey is, so Yen Sid finds him. He shows Ven, Donald, and Goofy an unconscious Mickey in the Keyblade Graveyard, abducted by [[Master Xehanort]]. Donald and Goofy prepare to venture out to save Mickey, but Yen Sid persuades them otherwise, knowing that they are no match for Master Xehanort. In the end, Ven goes alone, to repay his debt to Mickey for saving him earlier.

However, Ven is unconscious, stuck on the border between light and darkness. Yen Sid tells Aqua that she must believe in her friends to save them. If she treasures the bonds she shares with Ven, he will be led back to light. Mickey agrees to believe in Ven too, and Aqua says Terra will too, when she finds him again. Until then, Aqua departs with Ven to find a safe place for him to sleep.

Getting off the train, the trio meet [[Pete]], who is loitering outside after sending in [[Heartless]] to attack the Tower's master. Due to the tower having changed its location, Donald and Goofy are unfamiliar with the tower and are startled to hear that Yen Sid resides there. The three hurry inside to meet the King's tutor, leaving a bewildered Pete behind.

They make their way to the top, slaying Heartless on their way up, and eventually reach Yen Sid. The sorcerer gives them a book that summarizes all three games, and gives them information about the [[Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]]. He and the good fairies also give Sora his new outfit and drive form abilities, and returns the lost [[Gummi Ship]] to Donald and Goofy.

After the party leaves, [[Diablo]], [[Maleficent]]'s Raven, arrives with Maleficent's robe that was left in [[Hollow Bastion]]. The three good fairies recognize it immediately, and their memories of its owner start to work magic on it and bring Maleficent back from the past. She plotted to take over the Tower and announced her return with her trademark laugh.

Some time after decoding [[Jiminy's Journal]], Mickey returns to The Mysterious Tower to meet with Yen Sid, who appears to have regained control of the Tower from the Nobodies. They discuss the whereabouts of Terra, Aqua and Ventus, as well as the next actions of Master Xehanort, who will be revived due to the defeat of Ansem and Xemnas. Yen Sid orders Mickey to summon Sora and Riku to him to undertake a Mark of Mastery Exam to counter Master Xehanort.

With [[Kairi]] now with them, [[Yen Sid]] and [[Mickey]] reveal that [[Aqua]] was with the king in the Realm of Darkness when they were closing [[Door to Darkness]], but she sacrificed herself to save Riku from the [[Demon Tide]]. As she did not have the help of [[DiZ]] or the king, she remained trapped in the Dark Realm instead of joining them in [[Castle Oblivion]] afterwards.
