The opening worlds
Destiny Islands ends with Darkside. Traverse Town is the hub; its boss is the Guard Armor. Wonderland, Olympus Coliseum and Deep Jungle can then be visited in any order.
The middle worlds
Agrabah and Monstro follow, then Atlantica and Halloween Town in either order, and Neverland. Hollow Bastion is where the story comes to a head.
The final world
End of the World is the last area, where Sora faces Ansem.
Return to Traverse Town after each world: new shops, synthesis recipes and story scenes unlock there as you progress.
