Editing The Other Twilight Town

[[Image:Virtual_Twilight_Town.jpg|thumb|The Virtual Twilight Town was an exact replica of the real one]]
The simulated Twilight Town is a world from [[Kingdom Hearts II]] & makes an appearance in [[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]].

The virtual [[Twilight Town]] was a false [[Twilight Town]] created by [[DiZ]] as an attempt to keep [[Roxas]] contained while throwing off [[Organization XIII]]. It was created using the same technology he used in [[Radiant Garden]]'s [[Space Paranoids]], and he placed [[Roxas]] within it the same way one enters the latter world. It contained every nook and cranny of the real [[Twilight Town]], but had some glitches, as the Seven Wonders of [[Twilight Town]] prove. He even recreated every resident of the town, using data samples of each person's heart in the real town. Although keeping to their usual attitudes, they do act differently based on how DiZ needs them to.

==[[Roxas]]' Story==
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:Roxas-2.jpg|thumb|100 px|[[Roxas]] in Twilight Town.]]
[[Kingdom Hearts II]] opens in the virtual [[Twilight Town]], with the data incarnation of [[Roxas]]. His memories had been altered by data to make him believe that he was a normal teen-aged boy who lived in [[Twilight Town]] with his best friends [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. As the story opens, we learn that [[Roxas]] is beginning to have strange dreams of a boy's adventures (which, as the player, we already know to be [[Sora]]'s exploits of the first [[Kingdom Hearts]]). In the digital [[Twilight Town]], summer vacation is coming to a close, and [[Roxas]] tries to have some last-minute fun before returning to school.

Unfortunately, however, his fun is constantly being interrupted by strange white creatures, and two men in black trenchcoats. As time goes on, [[Roxas]] begins to regain his memories of the Organization, with the help of the [[Keyblade]] and [[Naminé]], a strange girl who has some interest in [[Roxas]].

[[Image:TwilightTown-RoxasRoom.png|thumb|left|Roxas' Room in the Virtual Town]]
[[Roxas]]' one-time best friend [[Axel]] was sent into the digital [[Twilight Town]], and attempted to persuade [[Roxas]] to return. When [[Roxas]] showed no signs of remembering either he or the Organization, [[Axel]] resorted to violence to bring him back "conscious or not."

Everything [[Roxas]] knew began to crumble around him, and the only thing he trusted now were the words of [[Naminé]]. On his last day in [[Twilight Town]], [[DiZ]] froze time and summoned [[Roxas]] to the [[Old Mansion]] outside of town. He went inside and drew the Nobody Emblem in one of the 3 circles on the table. It is rumored that the Unbirth and Heartless emblems are there also, however this rumor is only half-true, as the third emblem is a drawing of Sora's Crown Necklace. Drawing the symbol the floor under him disappeared where he found Diz's computer, where he finally remembered everything - that he was once a member of an Organization of [[Nobodies]] that had used him for his power over the [[Keyblade]], and that he had left it to find his past, only to be captured by [[Riku]].

In his rage, [[Roxas]] destroyed the digital version of [[DiZ]]'s computer, and fought with [[Axel]] one last time, before merging with [[Sora]]. [[Sora]] then awakened from his year-long sleep in the real [[Twilight Town]].

==[[Sora]]'s Story==
The virtual [[Twilight Town]] wasn't visited by [[Sora]] (or even known to him) for most of the game. He enters at the end of the intro of the game with the help of [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. It holds the only known entrance to [[The World That Never Was]], a dark portal left by [[Axel]] after being defeated. And the Picture of the gang with the old mansion in the background from the [[Simulated Twilight Town]]

==Enemies==
Although in the real [[Twilight Town]], enemies only appear in the mansion, [[Yen Sid's Tower]], and the Underground Concourse, enemies appear all over at various stages in the virtual [[Twilight Town]].

As well, [[Roxas]] must compete in the [[Struggle]] tournament, a "friendly" fighting competition amongst residents of the town. Enemies here include:

{{spoilerend}}

==Mini Games==
In order to progress through the story, [[Roxas]] must complete a series of mini-games.
*In order to earn money to go to the beach (that [[Roxas]] never got to), the gang must earn munny from doing odd jobs that are posted around the city on bulletin boards. Better work results in more munny.
*[[Roxas]] and [[Hayner]] both sign up to compete in the famous [[Struggle]] tournament. This consists of a series of simple battles amongst [[Twilight Town]] residents for a prestigious trophy and [[Champion Belt]].
*When you are collecting munny for Roxas to go to the beach, if you collect a total of 2,000 munny, a text cutscene will appear with Roxas saying "I think that's enough munny." Then the screen will go black and a box will appear saying "You've become more dextrous (AP+2)." Then you will go to the station and the group will comment on how much Munny you made saying "Whoa-Ho! Go Roxas" (Hayner), and "We can even buy a watermelon with this!" (Pence).

==Virtual or Reality==
Though not easily caught by a player on their first time through the game, there are many notable differences between the virtual and real versions of Twilight Town. These include:
*The Fabled Countryside only exists in the real Twilight Town. The train to it in the virtual Twilight Town leads to nowhere, and is considered a ghost train.
*The world and battle music pieces in the virtual Twilight Town are completely different from those of the real Twilight Town. Likewise, as the Twilight Town that appears in Chain of Memories is not the real one either, it uses the same pieces as that of the virtual Twilight Town.
*Hayner, Pence, and Olette have no knowledge of Roxas' existence in the real Twilight Town, but they are his best friends in the virtual Twilight Town.
*Setzer is the Struggle champion in the virtual Twilight Town. In the real Twilight Town, it is Seifer, though this could be because Seifer beat Setzer in the last compition, taking his place as champion.
*In the virtual Twilight Town, there is a standalone building with a candy shop. In the real Twilight Town, there is a [[Moogle]] Shop instead.
*The stores aren't functional in the virtual Twilight Town, but are in the real Twilight Town.
*Evidently only once Sora must go to virtual Twilight Town, the computer in the virtual world's [[Old Mansion]]'s basement is destroyed (by Roxas), while it is in perfect shape in the real Twilight Town.

-'''The Other Twilight Town''' is a [[datascape]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and makes a brief appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is a digital recreation of [[Twilight Town]].
-The Other Twilight Town was created by [[Ansem the Wise]] in an attempt to keep [[Roxas]] contained while also throwing off [[Organization XIII]]. It is a data world similar to [[Radiant Garden]]'s [[Space Paranoids]], and can be entered by similar means. While it is a nigh-perfect recreation of the real Twilight Town, it has some glitches in the form of the [[Seven Wonders]] of Twilight Town. Ansem even recreated every resident of the town, using data samples of each person's [[heart]] in the real town. Although keeping to their usual attitudes, the residents mostly act under Ansem's influence, though he is unable to completely control them. It is described by Ansem the Wise as being constructed in [[Sora]]'s memories.{{storylink|Secret Ansem Report 12}}

+Unfortunately, however, his fun is constantly being interrupted by strange white creatures, and two men in black trenchcoats. As time goes on, [[Roxas]] begins to regain his memories of the Organization, with the help of the [[Keyblade]] and [[Naminé]], a strange girl who has some interest in [[Roxas]].
-===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
-After Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s journey through [[Castle Oblivion]], Ansem the Wise, operating under the alias "DiZ," convinces [[Naminé]] to move the trio to his lab in Twilight Town to protect them from Organization XIII, as the castle was still under their control. However, in order to restore Sora's memories completely, Ansem sends [[Riku]] to capture Sora's [[Nobody]], Roxas. Once Riku returns with an unconscious Roxas in tow, Ansem placed Roxas inside The Other Twilight Town in order to hide Roxas from the Organization until it was time for Roxas to return to Sora.

-To prevent Roxas from escaping, DiZ altered Roxas's memory with data to make him believe that he was a normal teenage boy who lived in Twilight Town with his best friends [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. In spite of that, Roxas begins experiencing strange dreams of Sora's exploits during his first adventure. In the digital Twilight Town, summer vacation is coming to a close, and Roxas and his friends try to have some last-minute fun before returning to school. Unfortunately, his fun is constantly being interrupted by [[Nobodies]] and two men in [[black coat]]s. One of the cloaked men, [[Axel]], was sent into the digital Twilight Town and attempted to persuade Roxas to return to the Organization. When Roxas showed no signs of remembering either his friendship with Axel or his time with the Organization, Axel resorts to violence to bring him back. As time goes on, Roxas begins to regain his memories of the Organization, with the help of the [[Keyblade]] and Naminé, who acts as a guiding figure to Roxas.
-Everything Roxas knew began to crumble around him, and he could only trust Naminé. On his last day in Twilight Town, Ansem freezes time inside the simulated realm and summons Roxas to the Old Mansion outside of town. When Roxas reaches the Old Mansion, he unlocks its gates using the Keyblade and enters the mysterious building. Roxas encounters Naminé once more in the mansion's White Room, and he starts to regain memories of his former life as a member of Organization XIII. Roxas is eventually able to locate the digital version of DiZ's computer, which he destroys. There, he finally regains his full memory, remembering that he was once a member of [[Organization XIII]], who had used him for his ability to wield the Keyblade, and that he had left it to find his past, only to be captured by Riku.

-In the mansion's basement, he faces off against Axel once more and defeats him. Roxas enters the Pod Room in the Old Mansion, where he finds the sleeping Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Roxas decides to become one with his original self, causing Sora to awaken in the true Twilight Town's Old Mansion.
+In his rage, [[Roxas]] destroyed the digital version of [[DiZ]]'s computer, and fought with [[Axel]] one last time, before merging with [[Sora]]. [[Sora]] then awakened from his year-long sleep in the real [[Twilight Town]].

-After his failed [[Mark of Mastery exam]], Sora returns to Twilight Town with the intention of trying to find a way to help Roxas become his own person. With the help of Hayner, Pence, and Olette, who wish to become friends with Roxas like their counterparts in the virtual Twilight Town were, Sora examines the computer in the old mansion. Pence is able to link the computer to the [[Hollow Bastion OS]] in [[Radiant Garden]] with the help of [[Ienzo]]. [[Jiminy Cricket]] theorizes that, as a data world, the simulated Twilight Town constitutes its own datascape.
+Although in the real [[Twilight Town]], enemies only appear in the mansion, [[Yen Sid's Tower]], and the Underground Concourse, enemies appear all over at various stages in the virtual [[Twilight Town]].
-[[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]] confront Sora outside the old mansion, claiming his efforts to use the virtual Twilight Town are futile. While Sora wants to put Roxas's heart inside the virtual Twilight Town so that he can live there, Ansem reminds him that the town is just data.

-Using the data of Roxas that Ansem the Wise had encoded into the virtual Twilight Town, Ienzo is able to alter a blank [[replica]] and prepare it to house Roxas's heart so that Roxas can have his own [[body]] separate from Sora. After the [[real Organization XIII]] is defeated, Ienzo, [[Even]], and Ansem the Wise do this again with Naminé's data from the virtual Twilight Town, giving Naminé a replica body as well.
