In the Kingdom Hearts series, a number of contents has been removed due to different circumstances. Some are able to be found within the code of the game, and some others can be accessed through the use of cheat codes.
'''Deleted content in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series''' can be classified as aspects of a game that have been removed from the final product. Removed content can often be found through viewing code and models on the game's native storage medium, though it is also revealed via publications such as the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''.

====Bahamut summon====

====[[Disney Castle]]====

In his final battle, [[Xemnas]] was originally intended to use two forms other than the World of Nothingness; {{nihongo|'''King'''|キング|Kingu}}, which is humanoid and fittingly has a crown adorned with [[Nobody]] sigils, and {{nihongo|'''Kentauros'''|ケンタロウス|Kentauros}}, a spiked torso fused with a larged tailed creature. Both of them appear to be created from the skyscrapers of the [[Dark City]].
Instead of using a Dragon, Xemnas was intended to use a "King" form and a "Centaurus" form. Both of them appear as gigantic creatures made from the buildings in the Dark City.

 This article needs more information!

Improve it by adding what you know about the following issues.

Deleted content in the Kingdom Hearts series can be classified as aspects of a game that have been removed from the final product. Removed content can often be found through viewing code and models on the game's native storage medium, though it is also revealed via publications such as the Kingdom Hearts Ultimania.

Prominently removed content

Kingdom Hearts

Bahamut summon

Bahamut was originally planned to appear as a summon in Kingdom Hearts, but was removed before the game was released. Through cheat codes, a "Bahamut" option can appear in the Summons menu and can be selected; however, there is nothing on the game disc to execute, and the game will crash when chosen.

Disney Castle

As seen in the game's beta trailer, Disney Castle was originally set to appear as a playable World in Kingdom Hearts. Removed for currently unknown reasons, the world can still be accessed via cheat codes, as areas of the world exist from the game's opening cutscenes.

Crumbling Island

An area known as the Crumbling Island was meant to appear in the End of the World as the setting for the final battle between Sora and Riku before the climactic battle with Ansem. It appears as a remnant of Destiny Islands, consumed by the darkness.

Edge of Ultima and Detection Saber

Through the use of a cheating device, two palette swaps of the Ultima Weapon can be obtained in Kingdom Hearts II. These are the "Edge of Ultima", a version of the original Ultima Weapon with a glitched appearance, and the "Detection Saber", a palette swap of the original as well, except slightly larger. When these Keychains are accessed in Sora's Items menu, no picture of the Keyblades are shown, only map icons.

Alternate Xemnas forms

In his final battle, Xemnas was originally intended to use two forms other than the World of Nothingness; King (キング Kingu?), which is humanoid and fittingly has a crown adorned with Nobody sigils, and Kentauros (ケンタロウス Kentauros?), a spiked torso fused with a larged tailed creature. Both of them appear to be created from the skyscrapers of the Dark City.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Profile sprites and Pinocchio's World

"Pinocchio's World" was originally set to appear in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, but was eventually removed due to space restrictions. Tetsuya Nomura explained that the planned plot for the world was,

Set in a circus and playing off the story of Pinocchio, a puppet with a heart, and the Nobodies who possess no heart, we planned for a sad episode with Roxas and Xion looking for hope for themselves.[1]

The world would have included Pinocchio (as a human) and Gepetto, as well as the villains Honest John and Gideon from the original film. The profile sprites for the characters still appear within the final game's code.

Hades and Megara were also planned to appear in Olympus Coliseum, and Tinker Bell was apparently planned to have lines, before she was made mute. These characters' profile sprites also appear within the final game's code.

Weapon palette swaps

Palette swaps of Midnight Roar and Twilight exist in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days's game data, but do not appear as formal weapons.

Altered enemy

A Darkside was set to appear in Beast's Castle instead of a Dark Follower.

Jungle Book was originally set to appear as a playable world in the game, but was removed. The world can still be accessed by the use of cheat codes. A number of areas are accessable, including Louie's Throne Room.
