'''Twilight Town''' is a world that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is the "birthplace" of [[Roxas]], and one of the only two real worlds that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. It has recently been infested with Nobodies; however, Heartless were known to have been in the city during Roxas's time in [[Organization XIII]].

Despite its subtle atmosphere, Twilight Town is one of the largest worlds known. It is located in between light and darkness, similar to [[Castle Oblivion]] and [[The World That Never Was]]. As its name implies, Twilight Town is stuck in endless sunset, with its sun always in the same position in the sky, never rising nor setting. Much like Traverse Town in the previous game, it is divided into several distinct districts, Market Street, Sunset Terrace, and Yen Sid's Tower. [[Mysterious Tower|The Tower]] is not truly part of the town; it is merely reached by a train from this world.

Twilight Town is composed of two districts, Market Street and Sunset Terrace. The town is surrounded by {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Woods}}'''|町はずれの森|Machihazure no Mori|lit. "Forest on the Outskirts of Town"}}, a large forest that also hides [[DiZ]]'s headquarters, the [[Old Mansion]]. The Woods can only be accessed through a crack in the walls of Tram Common.

Underneath the town is a vast {{nihongo|'''{{a|Underground Concourse}}'''|地下連絡通路|Chika Renraku Tsūro}}, localized as '''{{a|Underground Passage}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', which has several entrances in Market Street. One exit leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tunnelway}}'''|トンネル|Tonneru|lit. "Tunnel"}}, retaining its original name of '''{{a|Tunnel}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', which in turn leads to Sunset Terrace.

[[File:Market Street (Art).png|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Market Street.]]

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Market Street}}'''|商店街|Shōten Machi}} is easily the largest area of Twilight Town, and is what is most commonly referred to as Twilight Town itself. Market Street is a long, winding, steeply-sloped road that leads from the lower areas of the city to Central Station. The upper portion of the street is known as {{nihongo|'''{{a|Station Heights}}'''|駅前通り|Ekimaedōri|lit. "Station Road"}}. There are a few shops at Station Heights, including an item shop run by [[Wantz]].

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Central Station}}'''|セントラルステーション|Sentoraru Sutēshon}} is a large train station that lies at the summit of Market Street, just past the Station Plaza. Its trains lead all over the world, including other districts of the city and the beach, and there is even a magic train that travels to the nearby world of [[Mysterious Tower]]. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Station Plaza}}'''|駅前広場|Ekimae Hiroba}} itself is a large, open terrace, presided over by the town's distinctive Clock Tower, which, though a twelve-hour clock, has "I" at the top instead of "XII".

The lower portion of Market Street is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tram Common}}'''|トラム広場|Toramu Hiroba|lit. "Tram Square"}}, an open-market area with a free tram circling around. Many shops are found here, including the [[Jessie's Accessory Shop|Accessory Shop]] run by [[Jessie]] and [[Biggs' Armor Shop|Armor Shop]] run by [[Biggs]], and a synthesis shop owned by Elmina the Moogle. In the Simulated Twilight Town, this is a candy shop instead. It appears to be the location of many homes as well. Both parts of Market Street connect to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sandlot}}'''|空き地|Akichi|lit. "Vacant Lot"}}, the area where the infamous [[Struggle]] battles take place, and to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Back Alley}}'''|路地裏|Rojiura}}, localized as '''{{a|Side Street}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and [[Hayner]]'s gang's hideout, {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Usual Spot}}'''|いつもの場所|Itsumo no Basho}}, called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Under the Tracks}}'''|高架下|Kōka-shita|lit. "Underpass"}} in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. {{nihongo|'''{{a|Roxas's Room}}'''|ロワサスの部屋|Rokusasu no Heya}} in the [[simulated Twilight Town]] lies above The Usual Spot.

Another district of the town, {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Terrace}}'''|サンセット住宅街|Sansetto Jūtakugai|lit. "Sunset Residential Area"}}, can be reached by taking the train at Central Station to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Station}}'''|サンセットステーション|Sansetto Sutēshon}}. Connecting to Sunset Terrace is {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Hill}}'''|サンセットヒル|Sansetto Hiru}}, where Roxas spots the mysterious Ghost Train on the fifth day. Sunset Terrace is eventually joined to the Market Street areas through the Underground Concourse, which finally opens the last time [[Sora]] and his party visit Twilight Town.

!Area Map in ''Kingdom Hearts II''

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the world has been significantly scaled down compared to ''Kingdom Hearts II''. The only parts of the world that can be accessed here is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tram Common}}'''|トラム広場|Toramu Hiroba|lit. "Tram Square"}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Woods}}'''|町はずれの森|Machihazure no Mori|lit. "Forest on the Outskirts of Town"}}. As the crack in the walls of Tram Common has been sealed off, the Woods need to be accessed through the '''Underground Conduit'''.

Throughout Roxas's life as a Nobody, he, Axel, and [[Xion]] used the Clock Tower as a meeting place after their missions, where they would sit and talk about their missions, or discuss whatever came to mind. It is also here that Roxas and Xion have their final battle and where he absorbs her afterwards.

Meanwhile, Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] access a memory-based Twilight Town via a card on the eleventh floor of [[Castle Oblivion]]. A confused Sora wonders why [[Vexen]] mentions the words "[[Riku Replica|my Riku]]" and "[[Roxas|the other side of Sora's heart]]". After Sora defeats Vexen, Vexen nearly reveals [[Marluxia]]'s plans (and, by extension, Roxas's existence) to Sora and company before Axel suddenly arrives and kills Vexen.

At a later point, [[Riku]], also in Castle Oblivion, enters a memory version of Twilight Town with help from [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]. There, Riku meets [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] and defeats [[Riku Replica]] once more, causing the Replica to fade out of existence. Riku later meets Naminé before confronting [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] one last time, to conquer his darkness.

DiZ, unknown to Organization XIII, began using the Old Mansion as a headquarters for his revenge. Along with Naminé and Riku, he set up computer systems and [[Memory Pod]]s in the basement levels of the manor, and monitored Sora's progression as he regained his memories while Roxas lived in [[Simulated Twilight Town|a virtual simulation of Twilight Town]].

The restoration process finishes exactly one year from the day that Sora created Roxas, and Sora, Donald, and Goofy awaken from their sleep with their memories restored up to the point that they entered Castle Oblivion, but do not know how long they were asleep, or how they got to Twilight Town. Sora says that the surroundings are rather familiar, and the group wonders if they had ever been there before.

They wander the streets, looking for answers, and ultimately meet Hayner, Pence, Olette, Seifer, and the other residents of Twilight Town. In the Sandlot, the Struggle tournament organizer will explain how they end up doing Struggle battles. In the Market Street, the tram has stopped running and the Moogle shop is closed, sporting a sign that says "Synthesis Workshop - coming soon!"

Eventually, they encounter King Mickey, when he saves them from a group of attacking Nobodies and tells them to board a magic train to the [[Mysterious Tower]]. Sora and the party return to Twilight Town twice during their adventures. The first time, he learns that [[Kairi]] fled [[Destiny Islands]] and was kidnapped by Axel. As he leaves town, he is stopped by [[Saïx]], who taunts him into defeating more Heartless for Organization XIII. The second time, the party, along with Mickey, Hayner, Pence, and Olette, go to the manor where Sora and the party awakened, and find the digital Twilight Town, which leads them to The World That Never Was.

While Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Sora decides to follow Roxas's heart and they decided to start searching in Twilight Town. Once they arrive, they are ambushed by Nobodies and shorty after, they come across Hayner, Pence, and Olette being chased by a Demon Tide but Sora, Donald, and Goofy manage to drive it off. Sora than asks Hayner and the others if they have seen Roxas, but they do not know anybody named Roxas until Sora shows them the photo. The gang decides to help Sora find Roxas and tells them to head to the Old Mansion. Before setting off, Sora shares a group photo with the gang when Olette tells Sora about Lucky Emblems hidden across the town. After taking the photo, Sora, Donald and Goofy head to the Old Mansion.  

On their way, they find a rat being attacked by the Heartless. They take care of the Heartless and Sora helps the rat to collect the fruit he found in the woods. The trio arrives at the Old Mansion and shortly after the Twilight gang arrives where they tell Sora that they have found nothing and that the mansion is their last hope. Pence tries to access the transporter but is blocked by a program. Sora is then contacted by Ienzo who decides to use the computer to speed up the process of deciphering [[Ansem's Code]]. Pence decides to help Ienzo while Hayner and Olette do jobs and the trio decide to return to the Tram Common as well. On their way out, Ansem and Xemnas are waiting and they tell Sora that it is impossible to release Roxas as he never should've existed. They tell him the only way to free him is to give up his heart over to the darkness. They then send out both Nobodies and Heartless to attack the trio and then they disappear.

In one scene, Naminé is shown drawing in the White Room, and saying Sora's name. In the next, Roxas, Axel and Xion are shown sitting atop the clock tower eating sea salt ice cream as they did during their Organization days. The trio look out towards the setting sun and Roxas and Xion say in unison "Sora".

Twilight Town is seen at several points during the ending montage. First, Kairi, Hayner, Pence and Olette are shown looking up at the Old Mansion, followed by a scene of DiZ watching over a sleeping Sora in the basement, and finally Roxas and Xion walking through Tram Common as a cloaked and blindfolded Riku watches from above a nearby shop.
