The '''''Kingdom Hearts'' universe''' ({{ja|キングダム ハーツ|Kingudamu Hātsu}}, ''Kingdom Hearts''), stylized in-game as '''KINGDOM HEARTS''', refers to the ''Smash Bros.'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties that hail from the action role-playing game (ARPG) franchise created by [[Square Enix]] (formerly Squaresoft) in collaboration with [[Disney]], the official owner of the franchise.

The series primarily centers around the adventures of [[Sora]], who travels across various worlds themed after properties owned by Disney and its subsidiaries while stopping schemes plotted by both original antagonists and Disney villains. Since the release of its first installment in 2002, the franchise has been one of the best-selling action RPG series in the world and is most notable for its crossing-over of Disney properties with various Square Enix properties, namely {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, ''{{iw|wikipedia|The World Ends with You}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Einhänder}}''. Alongside ''Final Fantasy'' and {{uv|Dragon Quest}}, ''Kingdom Hearts'' is considered a flagship franchise for Square Enix. | ||

The origins of ''Kingdom Hearts'' can be traced back to conversations between [[Square Enix|Squaresoft]] executive | The origins of ''Kingdom Hearts'' can be traced back to conversations between [[Square Enix|Squaresoft]] executive Shinji Hashimoto and {{uv|Final Fantasy}} series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi in the late 1990s. The developer was in a financially unstable position at the time and needed a blockbuster success to save them from going bankrupt. The two bemoaned about Square needing a game like ''[[Mario (universe)|Super Mario 64]]'', but realizing only a company like [[Disney]] has characters that could rival the popularity of [[Mario]]. ''Final Fantasy'' character designer Tetsuya Nomura overheard these conversations and volunteered to create this project. By a stroke of luck, Square and Disney of Japan shared an office building at the time. Hashimoto would have a chance encounter with a Disney executive in an elevator which allowed him to pitch the concept of using Disney properties in this game, which was eventually approved in 2000. | ||
It was eventually decided that the game would be a crossover title with Disney and ''Final Fantasy'' characters interacting with original characters, however contention arose when settling on the game's premise and direction. The lead protagonist was undecided between the two companies, with Disney wanting {{iw|wikipedia|Donald Duck}} and Square wanting {{iw|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}. Nomura decided to compromise by creating an original character, [[Sora]], to serve as the protagonist instead, combining Disney's character design aspects with his own. Disney approved the concept on the condition that all original characters, settings, and assets would be fully owned by them. The storyline and narrative would be helmed by Nomura, marking his debut as a director and lead writer, and it was originally planned to be a simple narrative meant to appeal to Disney's core audience. However, after a meeting with Sakaguchi, Nomura elevated the storyline to better appeal to ''Final Fantasy'' fans. The game eventually morphed into ''Kingdom Hearts'', which released for the PlayStation 2 on March 28, 2002. | It was eventually decided that the game would be a crossover title with Disney and ''Final Fantasy'' characters interacting with original characters, however contention arose when settling on the game's premise and direction.

The game was a critical and financial success both in Japan and internationally, eventually becoming the tenth best-selling game on the system. The game is considered a major factor in the financial recovery of Square, which allowed them to merge with Enix in 2003. The release outside of Japan is notable for having content that was not in the initial release due to time constraints. The game received a Director's Cut re-release in Japan with this new content along with more content made specifically for this version, titled ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''. This started a trend of games getting the Final Mix treatment, with most of them being exclusive to Japan for years. Due to the success of the first game’s sales, the real time aerial action RPG battle system of ''Kingdom Hearts'' became the main basis for some modern ''Final Fantasy'' games, particularly the arena fighting game spin-off series ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'', and ''Final Fantasy XV''. Similar aerial combat scenes are also shown in the animated spin-off follow up movie to ''Final Fantasy VII'', ''Advent Children''. | The game was a critical and financial success both in Japan and internationally, eventually becoming the tenth best-selling game on the system.

A sequel was immediately put into production. To tide fans over, an interquel was co-developed by Jupiter for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 titled ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. The game experimented by having a card-based combat system that has been referenced but never replicated. Unlike other side projects, ''Chain of Memories'' is integral to the overall plot and is directly referenced in future installments. The game was fully remade in 2007 for PlayStation 2, titled ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', and this version has been re-released ever since. | A sequel was immediately put into production.

All the way back in 2013, a teaser trailer revealed ''Kingdom Hearts III'' to be in development, with Nomura admitting the game was announced to the public far too early. Development progress was slow and steady, as Nomura was also directing ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' and ''Final Fantasy VII Remake''. Nomura ended up stepping down as director of ''Versus XIII'' due to him disagreeing with the direction the game was heading, which allowed him to focus more on the other two titles.

Sporadic updates on ''Kingdom Hearts III'' occurred for many years after the initial reveal until it was finally released in early 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Also in 2019, ''Kingdom Hearts VR Experience'' released exclusively on PlayStation VR as a walking simulator of various worlds. The series's first official piece of downloadable content was released roughly one year later as ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', which explains plot elements in the base game, reintroduces elements seen in Final Mixes, and opens the door to a brand new story arc for the franchise. ''Kingdom Hearts III'' would later be bundled with everything seen in the ''The Story So Far'' bundle and released as ''Kingdom Hearts All-In-One Package''.
