Hollow Bastion returns as a location in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the efforts of Leon, {{iw|khwiki|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 Mickey finally reuniting with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. With his help, they are able to access the DTD dataspace within Space Paranoids, which, while initially scrambled, is fully restored after the trio assist {{iw|khwiki|Tron}} in defeating the {{iw|khwiki|Master Control Program}}, giving Tron full access to the main computers of Hollow Bastion; in the system's archives, he finds information on how the town looked when it was first built, which causes everyone to remember the town's original name of {{iw|khwiki|Radiant Garden}}. 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}}. Hollow Bastion is also where Sora, Donald, and Goofy join the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, [[khwiki:Yuna, Rikku, and Paine|the Gullwings]], [[Cloud]], [[Tifa]], and {{iw|khwiki|Stitch}} in [[khwiki:Battle of the 1000 Heartless|fighting off an immense wave of Heartless]].

In ''Melody of Memory'', it is revealed that, in between the events of ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts'', Kairi was abducted by {{iw|khwiki|Terra-Xehanort}}, to be used in his experiments to send her into the oceans between worlds. He believed 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 a protective spell placed on her by Aqua. 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, which he reaffirms upon arrival in the Rising Falls.
In ''Melody of Memory'', it is revealed that, in between the events of ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts'', Radiant Garden was overcome with darkness similar to Destiny Islands, which was the catalyst to turn it into Hollow Bastion. Kairi, a resident of Radiant garden at the time of this crisis, was discovered abducted by {{iw|khwiki|Terra-Xehanort}}, who used her in his experiments to send her into the oceans between worlds. He believed 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 a protective spell placed on her by Aqua.

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).
