{{iw|khwiki|Hollow Bastion}} is an important world in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, appearing in multiple cutscenes and repeatedly being alluded to leading up to its appearance as the penultimate world of the first game, and making numerous appearances as both a playable and non-playable world in the future games in the series. Though the original release of ''Kingdom Hearts'' first showed the world as the headquarters of {{iw|khwiki|Hades}}, {{iw|khwiki|Jafar}}, {{iw|khwiki|Ursula}}, {{iw|khwiki|Captain Hook}}, {{iw|khwiki|Oogie Boogie}}, and {{iw|khwiki|Maleficent}} after Sora meets with {{iw|khwiki|Donald Duck}} and {{iw|khwiki|Goofy}} in {{iw|khwiki|Traverse Town}}, the Final Mix version of the game adds an additional cutscene that plays after Sora fights {{iw|khwiki|Squall Leonhart}} earlier in that same world, where it's revealed that {{iw|khwiki|Riku}} ended up in Hollow Bastion after the {{iw|khwiki|Heartless}} attack on {{iw|khwiki|Destiny Islands}}. Later cutscenes reveal that Maleficent and the other villains are watching Sora's progress through the worlds, and kidnapping the {{iw|khwiki|Princesses of Heart}}, including {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}}, to open the {{iw|khwiki|Door to Darkness}}. After Sora, Donald, and Goofy visit {{iw|khwiki|Neverland}}, where they learn that Riku and the villains have obtained Kairi, they travel further to Hollow Bastion, where Riku reveals himself to be the true Keyblade wielder instead of Sora.

Later cutscenes reveal that Maleficent and the other villains are watching Sora's progress through the worlds, and kidnapping the {{iw|khwiki|Princesses of Heart}}, including {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}}, to open the {{iw|khwiki|Door to Darkness}}. After Sora, Donald, and Goofy visit {{iw|khwiki|Neverland}}, where they learn that Riku and the villains have obtained Kairi, they travel further to Hollow Bastion, where Riku reveals himself to be the true Keyblade wielder instead of Sora. As a result, Sora loses the Keyblade, along with Donald and Goofy due to their mission being to stay with the wielder of the Keyblade. With help from {{iw|khwiki|Beast}}, Sora travels through the giant castle with only a wooden sword to make his way to Riku, and challenges him to a battle—to his and Riku's surprise, Goofy and Donald rejoin Sora, and Sora gives a heartfelt speech, causing the Keyblade to return to him as well. After defeating Riku, the group travels further to confront Maleficent, though after emerging victorious, Riku, now possessed by {{iw|khwiki|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness}}, stabs Maleficent with the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade of heart}}, unlocking the darkness within her. Sora once again faces Maleficent, now transformed into a dragon, and again emerges victorious. The trio finally confront Riku at the Grand Hall, where Riku reveals to Sora that Kairi's heart is residing in him. After the two have an intense battle, Sora, realizing he is unable to lock Hollow Bastion's keyhole without all seven Princesses of Heart, stabs himself with the Keyblade of heart to free Kairi's heart. This causes Sora to fall to darkness, and Kairi, Donald, and Goofy leave him for gone, until they realize that he was turned into a {{iw|khwiki|Shadow}} Heartless, and Kairi is able to return him to normal by a flash of light. The four escape Hollow Bastion, and return to {{iw|khwiki|Traverse Town}} to request a Gummi Ship upgrade from {{iw|khwiki|Cid}}, which allows them to swiftly return to Hollow Bastion to seal the keyhole, and prevent Ansem from destroying the castle with a {{iw|khwiki|Behemoth}}. Leon, {{iw|khwiki|Yuffie}}, and [[Aerith]] arrive shortly after Sora defeats the Behemoth via Cid's ship, having wanted to see their childhood home one more time, and explain to Sora that though the world borders will close after Sora defeats Ansem and they may never see each other again, they'll always remember him. | ||
Hollow Bastion returns as a location in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the efforts of Leon, | Hollow Bastion returns as a location in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the efforts of Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Cid, and {{iw|khwiki|Merlin}} (forming the {{iw|khwiki|Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee}}) helping return the town to how it was prior to the events of the previous games. In contrast to its late game appearance in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', it is the second world visited in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', accessible after Sora meets with {{iw|khwiki|Yen Sid}} at {{iw|khwiki|The Mysterious Tower}}, itself an extension of {{iw|khwiki|Twilight Town}}. The world serves as a hubworld of sorts, with the player frequently needing to make return trips to it for various purposes, and also houses two separate worlds in itself, being {{iw|khwiki|Space Paranoids}} (accessible via Hollow Bastion's computer system) and {{iw|khwiki|100 Acre Wood}} (accessible via an [[khwiki:Old Book|old book]] in Merlin's house)—like the first game, the player can find torn pages scattered across the worlds, and return to Hollow Bastion to put them in the book and continue the story. An additional area in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' is the {{iw|khwiki|Cavern of Remembrance}}, which contains [[khwiki:Organization XIII's Replica Data|replica data of the members of Organization XIII]] that Sora can fight in the {{iw|khwiki|Garden of Assemblage}}, located at the end of the cavern. Hollow Bastion also serves as an important plot device, with undoubtedly the most important event being {{iw|khwiki|Mickey Mouse}} finally reuniting with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. The three reveal to him that, within Space Paranoids, {{iw|khwiki|Tron}} can access the DTD dataspace with a password. Mickey, realizing that they can find where {{iw|khwiki|Ansem the Wise}} is, gives them the password—the seven Princesses of Heart ({{iw|khwiki|Belle}}, {{iw|khwiki|Snow White}}, {{iw|khwiki|Aurora}}, {{iw|khwiki|Alice}}, {{iw|khwiki|Jasmine}}, {{iw|khwiki|Cinderella}}, and Kairi). The three join Tron and are able to find the data, which, while restoring Tron's functions, gives the {{iw|khwiki|Master Control Program}} access to Hollow Bastion's entire system, with it threatening to self-destruct the town. Tron quickly changes the password to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, which prevents the Master Control Program from accessing the data, but the Master Control Program still threatens to upload a {{iw|khwiki|Hostile Program}} into the real world. After the four defeat the Hostile Program, Sora, Donald, and Goofy leave Space Paranoids and copy the data over, albeit in a very scrambled state. Shortly afterwards, they are alerted by an explosion, and, defying Mickey's order to search for Riku and Kairi, join the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, the {{iw|khwiki|Gullwings}}, [[Cloud]], [[Tifa]], and {{iw|khwiki|Stitch}} in [[khwiki:Battle of the 1000 Heartless|fighting off an immense wave of Heartless]]. During the battle, {{iw|khwiki|Saïx}} reveals to Sora {{iw|khwiki|Organization XIII}}'s plan to gather the hearts released by the Heartless by Sora's Keyblade to form a new {{iw|khwiki|Kingdom Hearts}}. Maleficent appears and gives unexpected but brief support, attempting to best Saïx with Heartless of her own and sacrificing herself against his [[khwiki:Nobody|Nobodies]], before sending Sora, who is now hesitant to fight the Heartless, into a {{iw|khwiki|Corridor of Darkness}} to escape the battle, which contains clues left by Riku that point him to Twilight Town and eventually {{iw|khwiki|The World That Never Was}}. Later, after Sora helps Tron defeat {{iw|khwiki|Sark}} and the Master Control Program, Tron gains access to the main computers of Hollow Bastion, and Ansem the Wise's full data, reminding everyone there of the town's original name: {{iw|khwiki|Radiant Garden}}. | ||
In ''Melody of Memory'', it is revealed that, in between the events of ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts'', Kairi was abducted by | Radiant Garden's history is explored in ''Birth by Sleep'', where it is fully seen in its original state as a city of light, and explored by {{iw|khwiki|Terra}}, {{iw|khwiki|Ventus}}, and {{iw|khwiki|Aqua}}. Ventus, the first to arrive, sees Mickey heading towards the castle, and follows him, but the guards of the castle gate, {{iw|khwiki|Dilan}} and {{iw|khwiki|Aeleus}}, prevent him from doing so, before being reprimanded by {{iw|khwiki|Even}} for doing so. Ventus then sees a giant {{iw|khwiki|Unversed}} flying around, and chases after it, in the process protecting {{iw|khwiki|Scrooge McDuck}} in the town square, who gives him three lifetime passes to {{iw|khwiki|Disney Town}} as gratitude. Terra, the second to arrive, sees {{iw|khwiki|Xehanort}} in the town and tries to follow him, before he notices a giant Unversed flying around. Aqua, the third to arrive, hears from Scrooge McDuck that someone was headed for the castle—thinking it was Terra, she heads there, only to find a young Kairi attacked by Unversed, and intends to defend her, before Mickey steps in and offers a helping hand. The two defeat the Unversed, and Aqua notes how she sensed a lot of light within Kairi, determining that she's someone they should protect. Mickey agrees and intends to team up with Aqua, before his {{iw|khwiki|Star Shard}} whisks him away. Shortly after, Kairi's grandmother picks her up, but not before Aqua places a magic spell over Kairi that will protect her light should she ever be threatened. She then sees a giant Unversed flying around, and chases after it, meeting up at the town's reactor with Terra and Ventus, and the three fight the {{iw|khwiki|Trinity Armor}}, the three parts combined into one giant boss. Afterwards, Ventus gives the Disney Town passes to Terra and Aqua, and comments on how he defeated a masked boy who was badmouthing Terra—Terra confirms that it was {{iw|khwiki|Vanitas}}, and tells Ventus to go home with Aqua, but Aqua confronts Terra about his association with the darkness in previous worlds he visited, causing Terra to believe that Aqua is spying on him on behalf of their master, {{iw|khwiki|Eraqus}}, and Ventus to deduce that Aqua's new title of Keyblade Master has changed her. Terra ventures down into the lower parts of the castle, finding {{iw|khwiki|Braig}}, who openly admits to having captured Xehanort, who specifically wanted Terra to save him. The two fight, with Xehanort insisting that Terra use his powers of darkness, which Terra eventually does, and Xehanort compliments Terra's skill, even claiming him worthy of the Keyblade Master title himself. When Terra leaves, Ventus tries to join him, but is turned down—he is similarly turned down after attempting to join Aqua as well. However, after saving {{iw|khwiki|Ienzo}} from a swarm of Unversed, he runs into {{iw|khwiki|Isa}} and {{iw|khwiki|Lea}} after dropping his toy wooden sword, and Lea challenges him to a duo and loses. The two become friends, with Lea declaring to Isa that he wants to be friends with everyone so that he can be remembered; Ventus remembers his own friends, and leaves by himself. | ||
In the Final Episode of ''Birth by Sleep'', Aqua returns to Radiant Garden to find Terra after the trio's final battle against Xehanort, only to discover that Xehanort overtook and possessed Terra, becoming {{iw|khwiki|Terra-Xehanort}}. The two battle, and the end result causes Terra-Xehanort to force Terra's half out of his body, which causes Terra-Xehanort to fall into darkness; Aqua uses her Keyblade Armor to send him back to the Realm of Light, at the cost of her being stuck in the Realm of Darkness. When Terra-Xehanort awakes, he is found by {{iw|khwiki|Ansem the Wise}}, and taken under his wing as a pupil. In ''Melody of Memory'', it is revealed that, in between the events of ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts'', Kairi was abducted by Terra-Xehanort, to be used in his experiments to send her into the oceans between worlds. He believes her to be a Princess of Heart, and would thus be able to find a world with a Keyblade wielder in it; she does, and lands in Destiny Islands, though this is actually due to Aqua's protective spell placed on her. When Destiny Islands is attacked in ''Kingdom Hearts'', Kairi's heart chooses Sora as a new vessel while her body is relocated elsewhere, though Sora is unaware of this course of events; however, it is alluded to in {{iw|khwiki|Deep Jungle}}, where the Hollow Bastion castle itself is among a collection of slides shown to {{iw|khwiki|Tarzan}} by {{iw|khwiki|Jane}}, and Sora notes how, despite never having been there himself, the castle looks familiar to him. | |||
Radiant Garden also briefly reappears, albeit only in cutscenes, in ''Dream Drop Distance'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', with an additional small playable section in ''III''{{'}}s ''Re Mind'' DLC; Hollow Bastion is also recreated as part of Sora's memories and {{iw|khwiki|Jiminy Cricket}}'s [[khwiki:Jiminy's Journal|journal]] in ''Chain of Memories'' and ''coded'', respectively (as well as their remakes). | Radiant Garden also briefly reappears, albeit only in cutscenes, in ''Dream Drop Distance'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', with an additional small playable section in ''III''{{'}}s ''Re Mind'' DLC; Hollow Bastion is also recreated as part of Sora's memories and {{iw|khwiki|Jiminy Cricket}}'s [[khwiki:Jiminy's Journal|journal]] in ''Chain of Memories'' and ''coded'', respectively (as well as their remakes). | ||
