Actually literally true

That one section before the gondola I dread every time because of the air enemies right out of your reach

And those wyverns fly around and you can't do nothing.

Damn, now I know the pain of that. And then having to climb back up and fight the same enemies…

I know right? Especially those wyverns. Super annoying. Hate those wyverns.

Then you realize Beast hits like a freight train, is gung-ho for combat like Tarzan, can take punishment even better than he can give it, and you still have your spells for doing damage from afar or even cheesing with summons. Blizzara is quite effective, as is Tinker Bell.

I felt the same way when I was at the Hallow Bastion world when 12 year old me first gotten into the KH franchise!

yeah; i tried to attack enemies because i thought doing that would tell beast to attack that enemy

That's honestly the most sadness moment in Kingdom Hearts.

@@emeraldphoenix5868 the part of kingdom hearts 3 where a demon tide eats everyone and sora cried from being powerless: am i a joke to you?

Agreed. This lvl made me fall in love with kh1

Yeah bro!!!

Agreed. I would come to this world just to level up and hear the music

I don't know about that one chief

I think you mean, best world in the series.

The only ones I truly wanted was this one and Vector to the Heavens. But Fragments of Sorrow will suffice 😆

Can’t wait to use Scherzo on Final Destination for Competitive tournaments

Seeing all the platforms in the background did really give me an intense blast to the past that i just instantly started kh1 again lol. While the battle system is way more basic compared to kh2, DDD and kh3, i honestly really like how because of this, the fights in KH1 are just more challenging and harder to overcome. Really like KH1 a lot (eventhough it hasn't aged that well, but it can't be helped), specially the Hollow Bastion theme. Really glad he made it to Smash, and be the one to seal the deal with Smash Ultimate.

i felt that way with scherzo di notte as well. both of these songs are really gonna hit me with nostalgia every time i hear them play on stage !

Yeah all KH songs in Smash is from Kingdom Hearts 1, wonder why? There's so many iconic KH songs they could of added

felt betrayed

Bro I felt so betrayed by Goof and Donald and when Riku threw me the sword I actually felt kinda mad since he was supposed to be the actual Keyblade wielder but he just fell to darkness and so we had to pick up for him. It honestly felt like our journey truly was over and hopeless at that point. Probably why it’s my favorite world lol

@Terryl Lear He adds a layer of emotion to the series. Especially with his role in Kh2 as well

@@joelles I think that's an underrated Riku quote

And he did. And with the help of beast he did just that

(memories of Bippity Boppity Boo playing for hours on end because of a side-game mini-game) Case by case basis.

No Atlantica is the best, It has the most coherent way to go, and doesn't drag on at all

@@jakewondoAtlántica is the worst world of the game what are you talking about. The swimming controls suck, there is a lot of backtracking and the final boss is a pain in the balls if you don’t have equipment that reduces lightning damage

At that point in my life my only experience being fully immersed in a game was Zelda ocarina of time and majoras mask. When I got to hollow bastion I was like wow this is surprisingly on that level.

Beast tanks, use Spells GREAT level though. It was supposed to be last world until the game was expanded upon. Makes all the sense

@@MatanumiKinda wish that Hollow Bastion would have been the last world. The End of the World feels so weird. It just like, exists. Oh final world? Here have some strong enemies... and more strong enemies... and more strong enemies! And just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder, we get this darkness dick ansem ship, whatever tf that was? Still a very annoying boss fight to this day. I really can't bring myself to like that world.

Just imagine having to go through the whole area up to the first riku fight without him

@@randomyoutubecommenter2312 It’s doable if you really invested in maximizing MP. You can defeat all those heartless with fire spells.

@@finalbossd it's possible but damn annoying. Like 8 mp max. I'm running a huge mp build rn and I died once even with Beast.

@@finalbossd That's how I got through. The nice thing about KH over, say, Final Fantasy, is that magic is not only usable but very much necessary in many cases. My first run, I was already very much a mage-type so this wasn't as daunting for me as it was for others, not physically, but emotionally it was still one of the best moments in the game.

Yup he's really here. and on Next Monday too

@@jacksonwhitfield9283 😂

So this is something u have to remember, Hollow Bastion at this point is as the name says, hollow. It's barren and a former shadow of what it once was before being corrupted by darkness. The music reflects this by being very ominous and desolate. So when we get to KH2, it still has the same damaged feeling but with a little more hopeful melody put into it as the FF cast are working on rebuilding it back to its former glory, which ofc is Radiant Garden. BBS is obviously the starting point so it's the most bombastic seeing how this is when Ansem the Wise was ruling over it and the city was at its prime. This is just how I see it. The charm is still there as the song keeps transforming from a dead and barren but dangerous place filled to the brim with darkness to how it once was a magnificent garden filled with light

Hollow bastion was like the climax of the game. That whole first visit was an uphill battle from the start. Sora was basically an underdog the whole way through. Lost the key blade and his friends, defeated a powered up maleficent, then had to slug it out with dark Riku all while deep in enemy territory when the most powerful enemies in the game had a very strong home field advantage. It felt like you were running on fumes and winning the whole time. After the first hollow bastion visit things were kinda back in Sora's favor. The rest of the game just sorta felt like tying up loose ends.

@@FrankMaster73 tbh Ansem had a bigger advantage in the final part of the game.Especially in that void when Sora has to fight him alone for the first half.Also I don’t think he was an underdog after winning back the keyblade since that proved his heart was stronger than Riku’s thus strong enough to wield the keyblade. But yeah, at the start of HB he was at his lowest.

Apparently in early drafts of the game HB was supposed to be the final dungeon

@@MatanumiShould've sticked to it tbh... sigh

Caifabe B minor, but D major is the relative major key.

Tf am i supposed to do with this information

@@entruh4520 if you're in any way musically inclined, tap it out and be glad you know the time sig

@@entruh4520 I recreate songs in MIDI form and this type of info is a life saver

I knew it!

#Factz

What a legend

cringe

@@gabeitches87 what's really cringe are people that just says "cringe" 🙃

@@Neoste no it isn't. and that's more cringe to say, lmao corny ass.

The chorus in background really sells void empty space.

Same

well long story short: he had to delete them in order for his channel to get monetized again. The osts I have are also the reason my channel is not monetized anymore, but opposite to most people I refuse to delete any videos to comply with KZfaq's guidelines.

@@PoloDaReaper Oh wow, that really sucks. Thanks for biting the bullet for us dude.

@@PoloDaReaper I thought that might have been what happened to Everglow. Heard he ran into a bit of trouble from his Twitter. Oh, well. Thanks for taking one for the team, PoloGeist.

KZfaq demonetizes anyone with long static screens as videos

@@PoloDaReaper _So THAT'S what happened..._ I was feeling devastated that I couldn't find those videos in particular, but thank you so very much for keeping these up 😢

And steve with robin

I wonder what the cast of Smash think of this place, or the fact that there are other worlds anyway.

You got to Hollow Bastion when you were 6? Goddamn, I never made it past Deep Jungle at age 8 or 9.

The Late Lord Kardok same

I got up to the final Ansem fight when I was 8 or 9. I didn't understand RPG mechanics back then so I just gave up.

@@TheLateLordKardokI used to over level for every world. I would kill everything… everything. Tbh I still do this but even worse now because I do it to max out synthesis as early as possible

"Yeah, that's it" "Come on" "Back off" "Hey, Hey"

Sora main here

At least the Beast was there for Sora

@@ShepardN7. Yeah.

Donald and Goofy had no choice since Mickey ordered them to follow the key blade welder. Fortunately it didn't take long

amazing ideas, hope the official thing is close to this

Cool idea!

1. Attack on Destiny Islands 2. Sora vs Darkside 3. Sora, Donald and Goofy vs Guard Armour (Traverse Town) 4. Sora, Donald and Goofy vs Cloud (Olympus) 5. Sora, Donald and Goofy vs The Dragon (Hollow Bastion) 6. Sora vs Riku (Hollow Bastion) 7. Sora vs Ansem (Finale)

Its Sora's stage... AND Kairi's castle :)

What's strange is that unlike KH2, KH3's OST was officially released Yet none of the tracks from KH3 are used, despite KH3 tracks being rearrangements of KH2's tracks so you get the best of both worlds. I'm also disappointed

They wanted to be faithful of the original version. The ost of the original game still amazing, so its all right.

It's the Yoko Shimomura magic

Keiichi Okabe: Am I a joke to you?

Also, I rarely listen to other channels

First time played Kingdom hearts in order and I felt you lmao

Man the Tarzan world was the worst for that

it happens from time to time when I render videos but its so minor not worth fixing

which one?

I think it's the one holding the Ramuh Belt.

@@PoloDaReaper I think it's the one where you have to raise the stepping pillars up, then glide or land a precise jump off the ground, down below behind a secret door.

You have to use the spell gravira to get it by locking on to the chest
