Trivia

• While Theater Mode was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix in Japan, its American debut was not until the release of Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.
• It is currently unknown if Kingdom Hearts coded and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep will contain Theater Mode. It is likely, however, since this feature has carried on through the more recent additions to the series.
• Theater Mode was one of the many additions to Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, to make up for the lost feature of multiplayer that was included in the original Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
