100 Acre Wood
The 100 Acre Wood is an optional world based on the fictional locale of author A. A. Milne and Disney's 22nd animated feature, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.[34] The world takes the form of a magical book located in Merlin's house. As Sora collects the book's torn pages scattered throughout the worlds, new areas of the 100 Acre Wood become available as the story is retold. When Sora "enters the book", he lands on a version of the flat map of the 100 Acre Wood featured in many Pooh books. Classic locations such as Pooh's and Piglet's houses appear as well as the Muddy Path and Spooky Cave. In each location usually contains a minigame with prizes which help Sora on his journey.
The book is first given to Sora by Cid near the beginning of Kingdom Hearts and he collects Torn Pages throughout the game until he finds and seals the 100 Acre Wood's keyhole, which is the diary-style lock on the front of the book.[40] Along the way, he makes friends with each of the Wood's inhabitants, particularly Winnie the Pooh, with whom he plays a Christopher Robin-like role. 100 Acre Wood appeared again as a recreated world in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. In Kingdom Hearts II, the book is damaged by the Heartless while still "active", causing Pooh to suffer severe amnesia, unable to remember him or anyone who happened to be on the pages that were again torn out, though each restored page in turn restores Pooh's memory little by little.[41]
