In the '''Universe of Kingdom Hearts''', also called the '''World''', there are many worlds that fall into certain realms. All of these realms are on their own plane of existence. | In the '''Universe of Kingdom Hearts''', also called the '''World''', there are many worlds that fall into certain realms.

Traveling between worlds is normally very difficult. In addition to being separated by the Ocean Between, worlds are also protected by barriers which prevent outside interference. When Heartless attack a world these barriers are broken, indicated by a meteor shower in that world. The barriers are restored when the worlds are restored and their keyholes locked. The loss of the barriers allows virtually anyone access the world without assistance. With the barriers in place, only certain people, such as Keyblade wielders and those with access to Lanes between or Corridors of Darkness, can gain access to worlds. | Traveling between worlds is normally very difficult.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Sora, Donald, and Goofy use the [[Gummi Ship]] to travel between worlds on the World Map, an event that serves as a mini-game between areas. Some worlds require certain special [[Gummi Blocks]] to access; for example, a special Navigation Gummi must be installed by [[Cid]] to unlock a second set of worlds in ''Kingdom Hearts''. Once they reach them, the party can enter and then depart each world through its [[Save Point]]s. | In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Sora, Donald, and Goofy use the [[Gummi Ship]] to travel between worlds on the World Map, an event that serves as a mini-game between areas.

It is possible to travel through time, but only if a person casts their heart from their [[body]]. Time travel is a rare occurrence, and few individuals possess the knowledge or power to travel through time. | It is possible to travel through time, but only if a person casts their heart from their [[body]].

[[File:Lifeboat KHUX.png|thumb|A lifeboat device.]] | |||
When one is traveling through time, there must be a version of the traveler at the destination time period. Once a heart has traveled through time, it must have a body to remain in the destination time period (such as a [[Replica]]) or must be in a state that does not require a body (such as being a Heartless). If the physical form that the heart is inhabiting is destroyed, or if the time traveler's heart is otherwise forced out of it, the heart will return to its original time period. The traveler is left with no memories of their time travel, although their experience will still be engraved within their heart and may unconsciously influence their actions. | |||
Through the use of a device called a [[lifeboat]], it is possible to separate a heart from one's body and send it forward through time. Unlike the previous method of displacing one's heart, this method of time travel allows one's entire self to travel forward permanently. Instead of having a vessel at the destination, the time traveler's body is reformed. | Through the use of a device called a [[lifeboat]], it is possible to separate a heart from one's body and send it forward through time.

Instead of having a vessel at the destination, the time traveler's body is reformed. While this forgoes the need for a version of the traveler at the endpoint, it requires two other things at the destination: a medium – some sort of object with a connection to the traveler – and someone with memories of the traveler. However, if the process is incomplete, the traveler may be left without memories of their original time. | ||
There are also special methods that allow the user to break the rules of standard time travel. These are unconventional and isolated instances that are not typically possible. Special cases of time travel include [[Yen Sid]]'s manipulation of time to send Sora and Riku to [[Destiny Islands]] at the beginning of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], [[Young Xehanort]]'s ability to freely travel with his heart and body after being visited by his future Heartless [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], and Sora's abuse of the [[power of waking]] to first undo the events at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] and then return a second time to piece together Kairi's heart. Certain worlds may also have special time-bending properties, such as [[Timeless River]], a world from [[Disney Castle]]'s past summoned by [[Pete]]'s desire to return to simpler days, and the [[Secret Forest]], a world whose time flow has been altered by [[Merlin]] and the [[Three Good Fairies]]. | There are also special methods that allow the user to break the rules of standard time travel.
