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

  • Junior/Riku: Look, this ship is horrible and we do not support it, but Junior/Token and Riku/Token are straight ridiculous. Get out of here with that nonsense.
  • Junior/Junior's Keyhole Harem: Whichever pretty human child Junior is supposed to be with, it cannot be denied that he has been hitting and quitting keyholes the galaxy over. It'd be a lot easier for him to find them all if he'd just check Grindr.
  • @%$#!!!/Goofy: Obviously.

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)
