Hollow Bastion serves as the penultimate world in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', traveled to after visiting {{iw|khwiki|Neverland}}. After a brief encounter with {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}, Sora loses the Keyblade, {{iw|khwiki|Donald Duck}}, and {{iw|khwiki|Goofy}}, due to their mission being to stay with the wielder of the Keyblade. With help from {{iw|khwiki|Beast}}, Sora travels through the giant castle to make his way to Riku, and ultimately fights and defeats him after the Keyblade returns back to Sora after both a heartfelt speech and Donald and Goofy rejoin him. The group travels further to confront {{iw|khwiki|Maleficent}}, though after emerging victorious, Riku, now possessed by {{iw|khwiki|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness}}, stabs Maleficent with the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade of heart}}, unlocking the darkness within her. Sora once again faces Maleficent, now transformed into a dragon, and again emerges victorious. The trio finally confront Riku at the Grand Hall, where Riku reveals to Sora that {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}}'s heart is residing in him. After the two have an intense battle, Sora, realizing he is unable to lock Hollow Bastion's keyhole without all seven {{iw|khwiki|Princesses of Heart}}, stabs himself with the Keyblade of heart to free Kairi's heart. This causes Sora to fall to darkness, and Kairi, Donald, and Goofy leave him for gone, until they realize that he was turned into a {{iw|khwiki|Shadow}} {{iw|khwiki|Heartless}}, and Kairi is able to return him to normal by a flash of light. The four escape Hollow Bastion, and return to {{iw|khwiki|Traverse Town}} to request a Gummi Ship upgrade from {{iw|khwiki|Cid}}, which allows them to swiftly return to Hollow Bastion to seal the keyhole, and prevent Ansem from destroying the castle with a {{iw|khwiki|Behemoth}}. {{iw|khwiki|Squall Leonhart}}, {{iw|khwiki|Yuffie}}, and [[Aerith]] arrive shortly after Sora defeats the Behemoth via Cid's ship, having wanted to see their childhood home one more time, and explain to Sora that though the world borders will close after Sora defeats Ansem and they may never see each other again, they'll always remember him. | Hollow Bastion serves as the penultimate world in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', traveled to after visiting {{iw|khwiki|Neverland}}.

Hollow Bastion returns as a location in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the efforts of Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Cid, and {{iw|khwiki|Merlin}} (forming the {{iw|khwiki|Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee}}) helping return the town to how it was prior to the events of the previous games. In contrast to its late game appearance in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', it is the second world visited in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', accessible after Sora meets with {{iw|khwiki|Yen Sid}} at {{iw|khwiki|The Mysterious Tower}}, itself an extension of {{iw|khwiki|Twilight Town}}. The location serves as an important plot device, with undoubtedly the most important event being {{iw|khwiki|Mickey Mouse}} finally reuniting with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. The three reveal to him that, within {{iw|khwiki|Space Paranoids}}, {{iw|khwiki|Tron}} can access the DTD dataspace with a password. Mickey, realizing that they can find where {{iw|khwiki|Ansem the Wise}} is, gives them the password—the seven Princesses of Heart. The three join Tron and are able to find the data, which, while restoring Tron's functions, gives the {{iw|khwiki|Master Control Program}} access to Hollow Bastion's entire system, with it threatening to self-destruct the town. Tron quickly changes the password to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, which prevents the Master Control Program from accessing the data, but the Master Control Program still threatens to upload a {{iw|khwiki|Hostile Program}} into the real world.

After the four defeat the Hostile Program, Sora, Donald, and Goofy leave Space Paranoids and copy the data over, albeit in a very scrambled state. Shortly afterwards, they are alerted by an explosion, and, defying Mickey's order to search for Riku and Kairi, join the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, the {{iw|khwiki|Gullwings}}, [[Cloud]], [[Tifa]], and even {{iw|khwiki|Stitch}} in [[khwiki:Battle of the 1000 Heartless|fighting off an immense wave of Heartless]]. During the battle, {{iw|khwiki|Saïx}} reveals to Sora {{iw|khwiki|Organization XIII}}'s plan to gather the hearts released by the Heartless by Sora's Keyblade to form a new {{iw|khwiki|Kingdom Hearts}}. Maleficent appears and gives unexpected but brief support, attempting to best Saïx with Heartless of her own and sacrificing herself against his [[khwiki:Nobody|Nobodies]], and ultimately sends Sora, who is now hesitant to fight the Heartless, into a {{iw|khwiki|Corridor of Darkness}} to escape the battle, which contains clues that point him to Twilight Town and eventually {{iw|khwiki|The World That Never Was}}. Later, after Sora helps Tron defeat the Master Control Program, Tron gains access to the main computers of Hollow Bastion, and Ansem the Wise's full data, reminding everyone there of the town's original name: Radiant Garden. Radiant Garden's history is witnessed in ''Birth by Sleep'', where it is fully seen in its original state as a city of light. | ||
Dive to the Heart serves as the starting location in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials. In the numbered ''Kingdom Hearts'' titles, the player learns basic combat and game controls here. Each character has their own station adorned with symbols and important individuals, and often appear as a dreamlike realm. Battles atop the station can occur whenever an individual enters another heart, such as {{iw|khwiki|Roxas}} briefly attempting to overpower Sora while the former was merged with the latter. | Dive to the Heart serves as the starting location in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', and has become a recurring location used frequently for tutorials.
