'''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 '''Simulated Twilight Town''' is a world from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and makes a brief appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.


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}}
The virtual [[Twilight Town]] was a false Twilight Town created by [[Ansem the Wise|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 a similar way to the 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.
 
==Settings and Areas==
{{main|Twilight Town}}
The Other Twilight Town appears identical to the real one, with mainly two exceptions: Mysterious Tower does not exist within the simulation, and at the Tram Common there's a candy shop, while in the real Twilight Town a Moogle Shop is located there instead.


==Story==
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
===''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.
Simulated Twilight Town is seen at the very end, where Roxas wakes up and the story of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' begins.

====Roxas's story====
====Roxas's story====
[[File:Roxas's Room 01 KHII.png|thumb|left|200px|Roxas's room in the Virtual Twilight Town.]]
''Kingdom Hearts II'' opens in the virtual Twilight Town with Roxas in it. His memories had been altered by 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]]. As the story opens, Roxas is beginning to have some strange dreams of a boy's adventures (which are [[Sora]]'s exploits in the first ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|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.
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.
Unfortunately, his fun is constantly being interrupted by [[Nobody|strange white creatures]], and two men in black coats. 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.


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.

Roxas's 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 him 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 witnessed DiZ and one of the men in black capturing Naminé. He then obtained her drawings, identical to one on the library table and drew Sora's crown necklace in one of the three circles on the table.  After drawing the symbol, the floor under him disappeared and 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====
====Sora's story====
The virtual Twilight Town was first visited by Sora late into his fight against the Organization. He enters the virtual Twilight Town with the help of Hayner, Pence, Olette, and [[King Mickey]]. Sora enters a portal left by [[Axel]] in the virtual basement of the mansion to access [[The World That Never Was]].
The virtual Twilight Town was first visited by Sora at end of the game. He enters the virtual Twilight Town 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. However, he can only visit the computer room and the basement hall where Roxas fought Axel.
 
==Differences from the real Twilight Town==
Though not easily caught the first time through the game, there are many notable differences between the virtual and real versions of Twilight Town.
 
These include:
*Yen Sid's Tower only exists in the real Twilight Town. The train to it in the simulated Twilight Town leads nowhere, and is considered a ghost train.
*The field and battle themes in the simulated Twilight Town are completely different from those of the real Twilight Town. Likewise, as the Twilight Town that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' is not the real one either, it uses the same pieces as that of the simulated Twilight Town (however, the music pieces stay the same as those of the real Twilight Town when Sora visits the fake one). However, whenever Roxas visits Twilight Town in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the music is the same as the simulated Twilight Town.
*Hayner, Pence, and Olette have little knowledge of Roxas's existence in the real Twilight Town (though they feel that they have met Sora, Roxas's original self, even before meeting him), but they are his best friends in the simulated Twilight Town. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Roxas and Axel briefly met Pence; later Roxas met Hayner and Olette as well, although they never reached the extent of friendship shown in the simulated Twilight Town.
*Setzer is the Struggle champion in the simulated Twilight Town. In the real Twilight Town, it is Seifer, though this could be because Seifer beat Setzer in the last competition, taking his place as champion.
*In the simulated Twilight Town, there is a standalone building with a candy shop. In the real Twilight Town, there is a [[Moogle]] Shop instead.
*Only the item shop is functional in the simulated Twilight Town, but all shops are in the real Twilight Town.
*Evidently Sora must go to the simulated Twilight Town only once—and he discovers that the computer in the simulated world's Old Mansion's basement is destroyed (by Roxas), while it is in perfect shape in the real Twilight Town.
*The [[Save Point|save points]] in the basements of the Old Mansion are different—the basement in the simulated Twilight Town uses Type B while the one in the real Twilight Town uses Type A.


===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
==[[Mini-games]]==
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.
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, the gang must earn munny from doing odd jobs that are posted around the city on bulletin boards. Good work gives 50 munny (or, 100 munny for [[Poster Duty]]) whilst mediocre work gives 30 munny and poor work gives only 10 munny.
*When collecting munny for Roxas to go to the beach, collecting a total of 2,000 munny or more will trigger a text cutscene with Roxas saying "I think that's enough munny." Then the screen will go black and a box will appear saying "You've become quite dextrous (AP+2)." Roxas will go to the station and the group will comment on how much munny he made, with Hayner saying "Whoa Roxas, that's awesome!" and Pence saying "We can even buy a watermelon with this!"
**Alternatively, gaining at least 1200 munny and going to the station to talk to Hayner will yield the same result. It's more recommended to do so since Roxas won't get to keep the extra 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 the [[Champion Belt]].


[[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.
==Treasures==
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
All treasures found in the simulated Twilight Town are only available to Roxas.


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.

==Differences from the real Twilight Town==
==Trivia==
There are many notable differences between the virtual and real versions of Twilight Town, which include:
*During Sora's story, only the Computer Room (since this is where the user is taken) and Basement Hall are playable in the virtual Twilight Town. If Sora tries to leave this part of the mansion, he will say that leaving the computer room doesn't feel right, and that something is causing the door to the Basement Corridor to not open.
*Yen Sid's Tower only exists in the real Twilight Town. The train to it in The Other Twilight Town leads nowhere, and is considered a ghost train.
*The simulated Twilight Town has different music from the real Twilight Town, but strangely, in the ''Final Mix'', when viewing the cutscenes from the simulated Twilight Town in Theater Mode, it contains the music from the real Twilight Town. (This applies to most cutscenes. Some of them still have the simulated Twilight Town music.) Also, when Sora enters the simulated Twilight Town near the end of the game, the music stays the same as the real Twilight Town (in both versions of the game).
*Hayner, Pence, and Olette have little knowledge of Roxas's existence in the real Twilight Town (though they feel that they have met Sora, Roxas's original self, even before meeting him), but they are his best friends in The Other Twilight Town. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Roxas and Axel briefly met Pence; later Roxas met Hayner and Olette as well, although they never reached the extent of friendship shown in The Other Twilight Town.
*[[Setzer]] is the Struggle champion in The Other Twilight Town. In the real Twilight Town, it is Seifer, though this could be because Seifer beat Setzer in the last competition, taking his place as champion.
*In The Other Twilight Town, there is a standalone building with a candy shop. In the real Twilight Town, there is a [[Moogle]] Shop instead.
*Only the item shop is functional in The Other Twilight Town, but all shops are in the real Twilight Town.
*The computer in the simulated world's Old Mansion's basement is destroyed (by Roxas), while it is in perfect shape in the real Twilight Town.
*The [[Save Point]]s in the basements of the Old Mansion are different – the basement in The Other Twilight Town uses Type B while the one in the real Twilight Town uses Type A.
