{{iw|khwiki|Hollow Bastion}} | {{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. Outside of this, it reappears as a playable world in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' (as {{iw|khwiki|Radiant Garden}}), ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III''{{'}}s DLC, while it makes a non-playable appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. | ||
{{iw|khwiki|Dive to the Heart}} serves as the starting location in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials. In the numbered ''Kingdom Hearts'' titles, the player learns basic combat and game controls here. Each character has their own station adorned with symbols and important individuals, and often appear as a dreamlike realm. Battles atop the station can occur whenever an individual enters another heart, such as {{iw|khwiki|Roxas}} briefly attempting to overpower Sora while the former was merged with the latter. | {{iw|khwiki|Dive to the Heart}} serves as the starting location in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials.

*Hollow Bastion is the only stage to change its background for the remainder of the match when a certain condition is met. Additionally, said condition is time running low, being on one stock, or having low stamina, meaning this stage is also the only one to do something besides changing music when this occurs. | *Hollow Bastion is the only stage to change its background for the remainder of the match when a certain condition is met.
