Story
Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, Jack takes a liberal role of performing a scary Halloween, in this case, using the Heartless. He asks Dr. Finkelstein to make a heart for the creatures so they can dance, but the heartless get loose and wreak havoc in Halloweentown. He requests the help of Sora to find a solution.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Jack makes an appearance as a figment of Sora's memory in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories his role this time remains relatively the same. He requested Dr. Finkelstein to make a memory potion, hoping that it would help in teaching the Heartless new Halloween tricks.
Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, he takes a comparable role to his character in the movie. He tries to take Santa's place (for the second time), and helps save him from a resurrected Oogie. Eventually, thanks to Santa, he learns that it his duty to take care of Halloween as much as it is for Santa and Christmas. His Santa suit then helps Sora open a new pathway to Pride Lands.
Later, Jack is blamed for stealing the presents from Santa's factory. He teams up with Sora again to help solve the mystery and clear his name. They do this by hiding in a giant present and tricking the thief into stealing it. Jack and Sora then defeat the thief, who turns out to be Dr. Finklestein's Experiment, and save Christmas. After that, Santa lets Jack ride in his sleigh. Later, he learns from Sally that the most important thing of Christmas is not the present inside, but the wish of the giver to make someone happy.
