Although this is an optional world, it is one of the best to train and gain EXP in, so it is recommended that you come here.
Before entering the Coliseum, there are a few Chests that need tending to. One is located behind the left columns of the Coliseum's entrance, containing a Mega-Potion, another through a close Blue Trinity which contains a Mythril Shard, and another Blue Trinity on the other side containing Dalmatians 22, 23 and 24. Now enter the Coliseum. Upon entering the Coliseum, you'll notice a strange looking satyr attending to something. Talk to him, and the satyr will ask Sora to move a nearby block of stone. Attempt to push it and you'll discover that it is far too heavy. Talk to the satyr again, and he'll finally look at Sora and realize his mistake.
The Satyr, Philoctetes (commonly known as Phil), will then put Sora on a test involving barrels. Complete the barrel rounds within the time limit and you'll obtain Thunder. This mini-game is not very easy to complete, as some barrels are out of reach, and require precise timing to destroy.
However, Phil is not impressed with Sora's skills, forbidding him from entering the games. As you leave the building, Hades will hand Sora an Entry Pass, which will allow him to enter the games. Head back inside, and get ready for the games.
Fight your way through the rounds and in the final round, you'll find yourself fighting Cloud who's working for Hades. It doesn't matter if you lose, but it's better to win this battle if you want bonus EXP.

Avoid his attacks- he will do some slide-slashes and some stationary slashes similar to his Omnislash attack. Just Dodge Roll and block his attacks and counterattack. Use Potions to heal. |
After this battle, a large three-headed dog, known as Cerberus will appear and attack the warrior, Cloud. However, another man, Hercules, will appear and fight Cerberus as the party escapes.
Through your team will be too weak at this point, to complete this world you need to defeat Cerberus. You'll have a larger chance if you have already defeated Clayton (as he rewards the player with Cure). Once you are ready, enter the arena.

Cerberus has numerous attacks. He will use fireballs and he will bite you. Make sure to utilize Cure a lot, if you have it. After you get halfway through his HP, he will use an attack in which he spits black darkness into the ground, which will sprout out underneath you- keep dodge rolling during this segment of the battle. Keep using combos and Cure. |
After defeating Cerberus, Phil and Hercules will dub the party as Junior Heroes, and the Cups will be unlocked over time. You will also pass by Cloud and he'll give you Sonic Blade, a very useful ability. Head to Traverse Town now.
