Summary

Kingdom Hearts, the first in the series of Square/Disney crossovers that got larger than anyone thought it should or it really needed to, introduces us to (Tidus) Junior, his suitably Square-ish friends Riku and Token, and his traveling companions Donald "@%$#!!!" Duck and Goofy. Just kidding--if Kingdom Hearts introduced you to Donald and Goofy, it probably also introduced you to concepts like "videogames" and "televisions" and "life outside my cave."

Relationships

  • Sora/dying alone, because he's a loser
  • Sora/Riku is horrible, but Sora/Kairi and Riku/Kairi are straight ridiculous. Get out of here with that nonsense.
  • Donald/Goofy 4EVA.

Tropes

  • Oh my God, the door metaphors. And the non-metaphors.
  • Heroes' actions being completely at odds with their stated goals (Sora talking about finding Kairi and doing literally everything but trying to find her)
  • Every boss is a penis, every world is covered in penises
  • The Power of Friendship™
  • Horrible, horrible mini-games
  • I'm a pedophile and it's okay! (Geppetto)
