The trailer begins with the final scene of ''[[Blank Points]]'', where Riku asks Sora if he has made his mind up and Sora answers "Yes". The trailer then cuts to a scene from ''[[Signs of What's Next]]'', where Yen Sid is then shown ordering Mickey to summon Sora and Riku to him to undertake a [[Mark of Mastery]] Exam. The scene then switches to Sora and Riku, in their ''Kingdom Hearts'' attire, on the beach of [[Destiny Islands]], wondering if Riku's raft will get them far (this is an alternate version of a similar scene in the first ''Kingdom Hearts'': rather than discussing this at the Paopu Tree with [[Kairi]] present, Sora and Riku are alone on the beach). Riku is shown in [[Traverse Town]], surrounded by Shadows. He looks up to see multiple Soras raining down from the sky. One lands and prepares to fight the Shadows. | The trailer begins with the final scene of ''[[Blank Points]]'', where Riku asks Sora if he has made his mind up and Sora answers "Yes".

Several gameplay videos are then shown, which focus on Sora and Riku performing advanced acrobatics: gliding, wall-jumping, and swinging around poles. The [[wikipedia:Heads up display|HUD]] also features a "Command" list which includes "[[Thunder]]", "[[Fire]]", "[[Blizzard]]", and "Attack", and a "Drop" gauge that goes up to 1.5, placed where the [[Magic|MP]], [[Focus Gauge|Focus]], [[Drive Gauge|Drive]], and Clock gauges were in previous games. | Several gameplay videos are then shown, which focus on Sora and Riku performing advanced acrobatics: gliding, wall-jumping, and swinging around poles.

The trailer begins inside [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's tower]], where Yen Sid prepares to put Sora and Riku, here shown in their ''Kingdom Hearts II'' attire, through the Mark of Mastery exam at last. [[Mickey Mouse]], [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] are present. Sora claims that he is unbeatable even without becoming a Master, while Riku openly ponders whether or not he will be suitable given his past with the Darkness. Nevertheless, Yen Sid decides to go ahead, explaining that their exam will take place in a world "enclosed in sleep", where they will face a new enemy known as the Dream Eaters, creatures similar to the [[Heartless]] but which are produced by the darkness present in this specific world. | The trailer begins inside [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's tower]], where Yen Sid prepares to put Sora and Riku, here shown in their ''Kingdom Hearts II'' attire, through the Mark of Mastery exam at last.
