Country of the Musketeers
Country of the Musketeers is a Sleeping World that is featured in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It is based on the direct-to-video Disney film Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, and notable for being the first world in the series to originate from a direct-to-video movie instead of a film from the Disney animated features canon.
Like Timeless River and Symphony of Sorcery, Country of the Musketeers is set in the past, although at a later period, and focuses on Mickey's earlier adventures as a Musketeer with Donald and Goofy.[1]
Settings and Areas
The Training Yard, Tower Road, Tower, Shore, Mont Saint-Michel, Dungeon and Cell are explored by Sora only, While Riku only explores the Green Room, Machine Room and Backstage. Both of them explore The Opera House, Grand Lobby and Theatre.
Story
Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts
Sometime after Terra-Xehanort's descent into darkness, the Heartless were released into many worlds, including Country of the Musketeers, and caused them to be swallowed into the darkness. After Sora defeated Ansem and the worlds were restored, the Country of the Musketeers was one of the few worlds that remained in a state of deep sleep instead of returning to the Realm of Light.

Sora
Sora arrives in the Training Yard, finding Mickey, Donald, and Goofy under attack by a Dream Eater. Donald flees in fear, while Goofy attempts to charge the enemy with his eyes closed, going off in the wrong direction. Mickey tries to fight the Dream Eater, but he is easily knocked away. Sora intervenes to save Mickey, but he is confused when Mickey doesn't know him but recognizes that Sora is from another world. Sora realizes this world is dreaming of a past time when Mickey had visited. Sora fights off more Dream Eaters and "meets" Donald and Goofy. He accompanies them on their mission to protect Princess Minnie's carriage, after they teach him the Musketeer motto.
The carriage is attacked en route by a Tyranto Rex, knocking off Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. Sora fends it off, but he is attacked by the Beagle Boys and knocked off the carriage as well. He regroups with the Musketeers, and they follow after the carriage. They find it near the Tower, wherein they find and defeat the Beagle Boys and rescue Minnie. When the Beagle Boys try again, Goofy's quick thinking throws them from the Tower into the river below. Triumphantly, the group returns to the training yard.
That night, Goofy runs off from patrol after spotting someone in the distance. Just as Sora tells Mickey that Goofy has left, Donald runs up and tells them that Captain Pete is plotting to kidnap the princess. Mickey and Sora try to convince Donald to stay and help save Minnie, but Donald leaves. Sora wonders about the captain's plans, prompting Pete to appear on the upper level to mock them. Pete summons Dream Eaters to attack Sora and Mickey, but Mickey confronts and tries to arrest Pete, only to be punched out by Pete. Distracted, Sora is knocked out by a Dream Eater.
Sora is woken later by Goofy and Donald, who tell him that Pete took Mickey to the dungeon of Mont Saint-Michel, where the rising tide will drown him. Sora encourages them to help him save Mickey, and the three of them head for Mont Saint-Michel. They arrive just in time to pull an unconscious Mickey from the water. Despite Mickey's misgivings that they aren't real Musketeers, the others convince him not to give up, and they head for the Opera House to stop Pete.
When they arrive, they spot the Beagle Boys carrying Princess Minnie in a locked chest. They chase them into the theater, where Pete is waiting onstage. Pete springs a trap that drops a heavy crate on the Musketeers, but it disappears in midair. Sora realizes that Riku saved them from his side of the world, and he confronts Pete and the Beagle Boys while the other three escort Minnie from the stage. He knocks out the minions one by one and launches them at Pete, forcing him to fight Sora himself. However, Pete is ultimately defeated.
Later, Princess Minnie officially dubs Sora, Mickey, Donald and Goofy Royal Musketeers. In the Training Yard, Sora says the Musketeer motto to himself, and the Keyhole appears for Sora to unlock.
Riku
Riku lands outside the opera house and spots Pete, much to his confusion. Despite that, Riku follows him inside, and finds the Beagle Boys placing wooden cutouts of Mickey, Donald and Goofy on the stage. He then watches as they use a trap to drop a box on the cutouts, a practice run for their plan to exterminate the real Musketeers.
Riku follows the Beagle Boys backstage, where he finds a chest moving on its own. Hearing someone calling for help inside, Riku uses Way to the Dawn to open it, and is surprised to find Minnie inside. She thanks him and explains that they have to get the contraption that controls the trap set for the Musketeers. Riku catches sight of the Beagle Boys, who forgot the level they are looking for, and chases after them. He runs after them and knocks them out, taking out several machines that would make his time before switching with Sora speed up.
Getting the crank, Riku tries to head back, but is interrupted by the Holey Moley Dream Eater. Making it in the nick of time, Riku attaches the crank and prevents Pete from dropping the box on the Musketeers. After hearing Minnie's explanation on what a musketeers is, Riku performs the motto, finds the Keyhole and unlocks it.
