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, as the player, we already know to be [[Sora|Sora's]] exploits of 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. | ||
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. | Unfortunately, however, his fun is constantly being interrupted by strange white creatures, and two men in black trenchcoats.

*When you are collecting munny for Roxas to go to the beach, if you collect a total of 1,350 munny or more, 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). | *When you are collecting munny for Roxas to go to the beach, if you collect a total of 1,350 munny or more, a text cutscene will appear with Roxas saying "I think that's enough munny."

*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 (however, the music pieces stay the same as those of the real Twilight Town when Sora visits the fake one). | *The world and battle music pieces in the virtual Twilight Town are completely different from those of the real Twilight Town.

*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. This is because Sora will say that leaving the computer room doesn't feel right (possibly Roxas's influence to not return to the fake town because of what he learned about his friends), and that something is causing the door to the Basement Corridor to not open. | *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.

*The simulated Twilight Town has different music from the real Twilight Town, but strangely, in the Final Mix, when you view the cutscenes from the simulated Twilight Town in Theatre Mode, it contains the music from the real Twilight Town. (This applies to most cutscenes. A couple or so 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). | *The simulated Twilight Town has different music from the real Twilight Town, but strangely, in the Final Mix, when you view the cutscenes from the simulated Twilight Town in Theatre Mode, it contains the music from the real Twilight Town.
