The Kingdom Hearts series is loved by many for its engrossing story and cast of charming original characters. However, it is also known for its magical interpretations of Disney films we know and love from our childhoods to today. Here are 10 of the best Kingdom Hearts worlds, both original and Disney-focused, ranked from worst to best.

Mulan was a turning point in Disney’s cinematographic history. It features a strong heroine that isn’t a damsel in distress, and her appearance in Kingdom Hearts 2 is no different. Her fighting style with Mushu has her sending fireballs soaring through the air in an acrobatic fashion alongside Sora, and her sword strikes are long-reaching and powerful. In addition, The Land of Dragons is a beautiful world with environments like the snowy peaks of the mountain and the Imperial Square replicated perfectly. It even replicates the smoke effects from the film in a tremendous way.

The first world we visit outside of Destiny Islands is Traverse Town, a wayward location for many who have lost their homes to the darkness. It is here that we find Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and other Final Fantasy characters dwell. The imagery of this town is distinctive and truly pulls you into the atmosphere that Square Enix is trying to muster. Finding Merlin’s house is exciting as you figure out the fire-based puzzle and investigating the town gives you a sense of wonder. Key moments and story points are presented to Sora as well in Traverse Town, making this an important world in Kingdom Hearts history. The theme song also welcomes you to the magical series you’re about to play as you begin to level up and gain new items.
