Kingdom Hearts II

The Edge of Ultima and Detection Saber Keyblades

Through the use of a cheating device, two palette swaps of the Ultima Weapon can be obtained in Kingdom Hearts II. These are the "Edge of Ultima", a version of the original Ultima Weapon with a glitched appearance, and the "Detection Saber", a palette swap of the original as well, except slightly larger. When these Keychains are accessed in Sora's Items menu, no picture of the Keyblades are shown, only map icons.

The alternate forms for Xemnas

Instead of using a Dragon, Xemnas was intended to use a "King" form and a "Centaurus" form. Both of them appear as gigantic creatures made from the buildings in the Dark City.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

Buzz Lightyear and Woody summons

Buzz Lightyear and Woody, characters from Pixar's Toy Story series, were at one point planned to appear as new summons in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. Their models still appear within the game coding.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Talk sprites and Pinocchio's World

"Pinocchio's World" was originally set to appear in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, but was eventually removed due to space restrictions. Tetsuya Nomura explained that the planned plot for the world was,

Set in a circus and playing off the story of Pinocchio, a puppet with a heart, and the Nobodies who possess no heart, we planned for a sad episode with Roxas and Xion looking for hope for themselves.[1]

The world would have included Pinocchio (as a human) and Gepetto, as well as the villains Honest John and Gideon from the original film. The profile sprites for the characters still appear within the final game's code.

Hades and Megara were also planned to appear in Olympus Coliseum, and Tinker Bell was apparently planned to have lines, before she was made mute. These characters' profile sprites also appear within the final game's code.
