When Journal-Riku showed up, that's when you just decide to sit back and enjoy the ride. The cool gameplay segments do at least tie the story together better than just the quick text interludes. Like, they do things that mix up the formula a bit, despite being mostly retreads of worlds we've been to. In Wonderland, it became a runner/shooter and in Olympus Coliseum the game turned into a Paper Mario-esque RPG. Plus the combat is taken right from Birth by Sleep. Like, they at least wanted you to have fun with it while going through this weird story.
"who says we're keeping score" - these guys are lucky Sora was the chosen protagonist. He is such a good-hearted cinnamon roll, he can't even joke about them owing him anything. Well, Data-Sora, who is fresh off the islands bby Sora.
You're doing better than I am. I couldn't even before the end of the first episode. Bright side, sounds like it'll be wrapping up by the end of the week.
Only 30%, and Dan already sounds 110% done with this game. XD Shame that this is the last game that Maleficent's presence actually adds to it. I'm sure they just wanted to keep her around to use in later stuff, but it's still just frustrating that arguably the best villain they have in the series just sits in the back, doing nothing, for most of the series.
"We'll finally see the mouse make himself useful!" Uh, Dan, I seem to recall the mouse doing you a real big favor back in Mulan's world, during the Shan Yu fight? Just saying...
The cutscene compilation really doesn't do this game justice. 80% or more of the cool things about Coded are in the gameplay itself; Olympus has this neat JRPG battle system for the whole thing, and it's just not represented at all in the cutscenes. Basically, when you take the novel gameplay ideas out, the Disney rehashes are all you have left and they're...definitely pretty weak.
I honestly love this game for how wild the plot is. It cranks the Kingdom Hearts crazy meter up by %180. Its not super important in the long run, but its a game that features Micky Mouse trapped in a Matrix/Inception plot and thats pretty great. Plus, we get to see Micky and co do their thing outside of Sora's shenanigans, which is fun. EDIT: Also, Dan's commentary is gold. "Stick!"

Kingdom Hearts. The only series where when someone hacks a book it's par for the course.
I should probably mention that this game’s story doesn’t matter, (yes, there’s like one scene in KH3 that sort of calls back to to it but it’s not relevant to the overall plot) but the ending kinda spoils Birth by Sleep’s ending; Coded was originally episodic and the last episode was intentionally delayed in Japan until after BBS had been out for a while because of it.
I wouldn't say it spoils much of anything in BBS. It references some characters and teases stuff that'll come well AFTER BBS, but I don't think there's anything in the end of Coded that diminishes the impact or surprises of BBS at all.
@@PlayFramePlus It drops a strong hint about the specific fate of a particular character, which is a twist at the end of BBS, but, yeah, otherwise it's mostly confirming that a tragic fate has befallen every main character who isn't Sora...
Karl Schweinfurth The story in particular doesn’t but without knowledge of the game you wouldn’t be able to understand or have reasons for a few things (though they are mostly minor) including: Minor spoilers for anyone who hasn’t played past Re:Coded Malicidents post KH2 motivations, exactly what hearts are connected to sora, those scenes in KH DDD, and just some other things.
You should definitely at least check out the DS version, it has some pretty good animation in its real-time cutscenes, shockingly enough. They recreated the Genie-Jaffar being sucked into the lamp on DS hardware. The whole game is actually pretty impressive for DS.
i like how they act a lot more like alice in wonderland characters in this game, Alice immediately takes the stand when she is told and that is exactly what she would do
"Chip and Dale are here to rescue us!" So, are they some kind of . . . rescue rangers? I was honestly hoping it would be them for that very reason. Which reminds me, why did they never use any Disney Afternoon properties? That could have been fun.
0:24: Aside...from the occasional awkward sentence pacing (probably from having to match the length of the Japanese audio clips, because that's something video games have to deal with), I agree. 3:00: Sora, she's maybe ten years old and you told her to escape through a crowd of soldiers. I know _you_ can do that, but I doubt Alice would be able to. (Especially given how Squenix handles even deuteragonist-level girls...) 5:20: So...the computer room _is_ part of the simulation? I was just joking when I suggested that! ...Maybe I should think of some jokes that would imbue Kairi with a scrap of agency if they were fulfilled. 6:20: Does Kingdom Hearts _ever_ explain _anything_ in a way that _doesn't_ raise more questions than it answers? 7:30: Most of my initial questions get answered at 30:00, but how did Chip and Dale know that had happened as soon as they saw the empty room? 8:15: And there's a possibility that they built a digitizer _without building an un-digitizer?_ What the frig is going on here? 21:40: I'd make a crack about Genie's cosmic power, but I can hardly expect a simulated Genie to be as potent as the real deal. 24:45: If only Sora had a time-stopping spell! Then only _he_ could undo it! 30:00: So, wait. Sora unlocking the Keyhole made a bright flash of light that digitized people? And it put Mickey & co in a simulated computer room, but Pete in some kind of lobby? And then Maleficent just _teleported in,_ from _outside_ the simulation? ...What? 15:55: I feel like Sora's bar for heroism is set awfully low. 17:00: Dan, that's not fair. To fanfic, I mean. 20:15: See what I mean? Any fanfic writer worth their salt could make a whole _story_ out of Sora's three wishes, instead of just making him go all Shenron on the villain's collateral damage and giving him a lift. 23:30: Donald, Sora barely knows how to use Microsoft Word. I don't think he's going to solve any tech-based mysteries. If only you'd sent someone smart like Goofy to help out... 26:30: Oh, Pete's a griefer. Why am I not surprised? 31:40: Maleficent's plan is to use the simulated world to trap Ming Mickey and the King's Fools while generating a horde of Heartless to take over the real world. Why is Maleficent's plan the only thing that makes sense in this game? 34:45: Maleficent used a weapon more powerful than any Keyblade...the Recycle Bin.
Regarding Maleficent's plan: I'm sure the real Sora is still out there somewhere. Sora's stopped Maleficent before. He can do it again...though I don't think he ever fought Maleficent alone.
Something cool about this game that isn't shown in the movie is that inside every keyhole is a different game style. Traverse Town becomes a side-scrolling platformer, Wonderland an auto-runner, and Olympus a turn-based RPG. The execution isn't always perfect, but I think it's a pretty neat concept.
Wow. I played this game a bunch of times when I was a kid and absolutely loved it, but yeah, I completely forgot how crazy this plot is. Probably because I've always had a grand talent for not feeling a need to question plots too deeply. But yeah, I totally forgot about Data-Riku and Malifecent, though I do think there'll be some plot points by the end that you'll be pleased by Dan.
oh fudge me. Did they really just do the "you are a simulation and didn't know it" twist reveal with Mickey fugding Mouse in the first hour? well, if anyone would do that, it's Kingdom Hearts.
Everyone in this game's obsessed with memory, both in the biological and data senses. Still, between that and us going through the events of Kingdom Hearts 1, this feels an awful lot like Chain of Memories. Also, how did neither Alice nor Sora notice the BIG GLOWING THING hanging right next to the Queen of Hearts as they're speaking to her? I had a feeling the monitor was going to turn Droste sooner or later, though I predicted later. Riku is now Jiminy's journal. If this was anything other than Kingdom Hearts, I'd have said...actually, I don't know what I'd have said. but I've come to expect this kind of insanity from Kingdom Hearts. Technically, Disney doesn't own the rights for Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Greek mythology, or 1001 Arabian Nights either. I know what you mean Dan, that Tarzan is not public domain. (I'd guess that this may be why we haven't had that many DreamWorks crossover games: they're much more likely to adapt from a non-public-domain source. Stuff like Over the Hedge and Shrek would probably be pretty easy. Mr. Peabody & Sherman is now owned by Comcast so it's okay too. Something like Rise of the Guardians or Captain Underpants would probably be MUCH harder.) They couldn't get Dan Castellaneta? But he's usually pretty easily available. I do like they've improved on Genie's movements so much though. No spontaneous shapeshifting for laughs, but that's probably real expensive to do in CGI.
I feel like this game is what people who hate Kingdom Hearts think all Kingdom Hearts is. And... I mean... people who hate Kingdom Hearts don't have an incorrect impression of the games, even if I still like them... most of them...
"I need a bell to ring whenever someone says something stupid." That is my favorite comment from Dan so far. Maybe Carrie can make the bell sound for you?
We're only on Part 2, and already I am convinced that this is the apotheosis of Kingdom Hearts. This is everything dumb and nonsensical about the series crammed into a movie. Every line of dialogue is pure, unfiltered gibberish to my ears. There is no way Nomura isn't doing this on purpose.
Am I the only one weirded out by the fact Sora's shorts extend all the way up to his neck and over his shoulders. That bell will never stop ringing That fade out slash fade in thing is less impressive when you don't have a sword Herc, was woods having an off day
So... the reason Mickey summoned a keyblade, that wasn't the great golden key of his castle world... was because he was in a digital copy of the castle by then instead?
This is the game where KH went off the heccin rails, Dan. They brought computers into it and I don't think anyone on the writing team has gone to computer science school...
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter Wasn't the climax of KH2 also built around Ansem doing something digital to the sky? Clearly the details didn't matter, since he was willing to do it even with no idea of what would happen, but there's that.
I rather enjoyed Re:Coded as a game. Playing essentially KH1 on a DS was really novel at the time for me. Also, some worlds had their own mechanics, like Olympus was a turn-based strategy type system where you got Herc and Cloud on your Party and I rather enjoyed that.
At least the gameplay is fun. Command-based like BBS or DDD,has a cool level up/difficulty system where you put Stat chips on a board. Better than the panel system in Days imo.
I could go either way on the level-up system - Days has that puzzle-solving/optimising aspect to fitting the panels, where coded feels too easy to "solve". I like a number of the systems in both games, and I had enough fun with coded in my recent replay that I played enough post-game to unlock the secret movie.
2:43 🤔you know in retrospect maaaybe all the bright lights and flashing effects from using the Keyblade for so long might not have been good for Sora's eyesight and he does tend to look straight into the beams. lol Edit: 17:00 🤣🤣🤣 darn it Dan you almost made me spit my food out with that one🤣🤣🤣👍
@@MiseFreisin oh yeah, forgot about that, well we'd just have to age them all up ^.^ Malefocent said it so I didn't really think about most of the main characters being kids ^.^
This game story may not matter much in the overall story but I do like it, Data Sora like Sora cracked up to 100 on soraness lol and I like when it called back to. Though the concept of data and worlds in books is going to be use a lot more in KH the way things going so it good to see it and it just a movie and dont think it near as bad as folk make it out to be
I am sure that whole Jafar turning into a genie and getting trapped in the loophole of him having a lamp meaning you can send him back was clever the first time. But, man the...lets see. Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of Memories, uhh...now Coded? Third time not including the movie. Four times in a row is a touch tedious.
So... I was kind of right that they were putting the journal back together. But all the original entries are locked inside this fabrication of Riku until the bugs get cleared. If the journal can bring people from the real world into the datascape, why don't they get the real Sora and maybe Riku from the end of KH2 to go in and fix stuff? Surely they'd be way more powerful than this facsimile. Where _is_ Sora, anyway? Is he just sitting around Destiny Islands while all this is happening? Also, if Genie is like a superuser that can get rid of all the bugs, why didn't Sora just wish for Genie to get rid of the bugs in all the worlds? Can he not leave the Agrabah part of the journal? I feel like that shouldn't matter, considering how disrupted the journal has already gotten, and also that Genie is literally a summon in KH1. Also I'm just now realizing that Genie doesn't actually have a name, which is kind of sad. Do... do Maleficent and Pete not realize they're in a simulation? That would actually explain quite a lot about their actions right off the bat. Also also, unrelated to the overarching KH plot, does Hercules really fight with his fists? He doesn't have like, a sword, or a spear, or something? Didn't he have a sword in the movie?
Yeah this Kingdom Hearts game is at the bottom my list and is the only one (not counting KH3) that I only played once and was done with. Though it still does some neat things I actually like the coliseum in this game and how the level is a turn based RPG with Cloud and Hercules in your party.
Translation fact: Pete is called Kater Karlo in German. Kater means male cat or hangover. Please don't ask me why. The Tron-Inception plot is kind of cool. I'm intrigued to find out how Data Sora reacts, when he finds out about his true nature.
"I gotta find a new line of work!" Gilbert Gottfried going into the studio to re-record KHI storyline for the umpteenth time lmao. (I actually am loving this though)
It Princess Bubblegum/Starfire's voice actress, isn't it!? She has that same dip to her voice in a line or two. - WHAT!? My head hurts. - Isn't Hercules technically a monk class? - Cloud is still edgy fanfic adaptation. - *Sigh* Thanks, I hate Pete, but okay. - You know a world is overused when you recognize it by the WALL TEXTURE. Gah, please tell me it's not in KH3. - I don't blame you for being tired, man.
makes sense to me that this was a mobile game first, iirc there's gonna be a lot of disney fluff in this with some sort of stinger at the end? I can't bring myself to be mad at this though, it's cute... and completely absurd, wouldn't have it any other way.
Recoded was the game that traumatized me. I became and am still terrified of Aladdin, thanks to the boss fight in recodded. And I don't mean the characters, I mean the movies, and world as a whole.
Wait. This takes place after KH2, correct? I'm willing to look past Goofy and Donald wearing their original gear, Sora too, since's he's just... *sigh* "data"... but why is Riku younger too? Wat.
Well, this is one way to raise the stakes. A stupid way, but whatever. ETA: OK, I spoke too soon. Not about the stupidity, but about the stake raising. They managed to raise it higher.
Jim Meskimen is apparently the new Genie. How does a good job imitating Robin Williams. Sadly this is in a day where we know that Will Smith has been cast to play the live-action genie, and it is weird.
Yes, he has been Genie since 2008, I am going to assume Dan got too busy and expensive because of the Simpsons that Disney went to get a Robin Williams impersonator instead
...How? That's NOT how that works! How would physical entries in a journal be ripped apart and restitched when dealing with the mental memories of all four participants in Castle Oblivion? If anything, if Jimminy had been diligent about his entries, that would be the key to at least learning of the events there, even if they couldn't recall directly. It doesn't matter if they're treating the log as a digital mind. (Of course, let this be a lesson to use physical medium and not trust everything be recorded in digital.) [sigh] Well, that's the world they've set up. I can roll with it.
Well, some of what is shown so far ties back into kh3... but this series is not about sull details, it is about making the story as convoluted and weird as possible,
The tonal whiplash from experiencing this right after the ending of 358/2 days is pretty bad
kinda like the double take they all experience around 6:58!
Augh Coded is a friggin' CoM between 2 and BBS? (adjdhsgagdjfkcnckeek, bleeeahhhhh. Not a fan of plot convolution.)
@@KumaKaori
More between 2 and DDD.
Then it's a good thing they are different titles.
That "take me to the villian" wish is vague enough that the genie should have taken him to xemnas, who would obviously be taking a bath with a rubber duckie and a pink shower cap, but I guess that would make too much sense for kh...
XD
Sora: Whaaa! Who are you?!
Xemnas: Sora?! You're not supposed to be here for another two games, get out of here!
Alice is played by Hynden Walch, voice actress of Starfire, Ace, and Princess Bubblegum.
I knew I recognized her voice.
When sora barged through the door I got sooo lost I could only smile, this is truly the kingdom hearts experience, huh
This game should've been called "Dan Becomes Exhausted & Confused: The Game: The Movie"

"It's about time the mouse started pulling his own wight" I've been waiting for this since the first game.
I rather enjoyed Re:Coded as a game. Playing essentially KH1 on a DS was really novel at the time for me. Also, some worlds had their own mechanics, like Olympus was a turn-based strategy type system where you got Herc and Cloud on your Party and I rather enjoyed that.
"I need a bell to ring any time someone says something stupid." You'll go deaf. >XD 7:00
"Someone get this boy a stick." 34:35
"STICK!" 35:19
At least the gameplay is fun. Command-based like BBS or DDD,has a cool level up/difficulty system where you put Stat chips on a board. Better than the panel system in Days imo.
I could go either way on the level-up system - Days has that puzzle-solving/optimising aspect to fitting the panels, where coded feels too easy to "solve".
I like a number of the systems in both games, and I had enough fun with coded in my recent replay that I played enough post-game to unlock the secret movie.
24:50 -- Sora sounded like Link! 😂
2:43 🤔you know in retrospect maaaybe all the bright lights and flashing effects from using the Keyblade for so long might not have been good for Sora's eyesight and he does tend to look straight into the beams. lol
Edit: 17:00 🤣🤣🤣 darn it Dan you almost made me spit my food out with that one🤣🤣🤣👍
Okay, now we need a Kingdom Hearts Dating Sim called "Date Escape" ^.^
Xyvaz Krown Data Sora!?
I'm sorry but I'm not really into spiky-haired teen boys...
@@MiseFreisin oh yeah, forgot about that, well we'd just have to age them all up ^.^ Malefocent said it so I didn't really think about most of the main characters being kids ^.^
5:40 Kingdom Balls? Spacehearts?
This game story may not matter much in the overall story but I do like it, Data Sora like Sora cracked up to 100 on soraness lol and I like when it called back to. Though the concept of data and worlds in books is going to be use a lot more in KH the way things going so it good to see it and it just a movie and dont think it near as bad as folk make it out to be
I am sure that whole Jafar turning into a genie and getting trapped in the loophole of him having a lamp meaning you can send him back was clever the first time. But, man the...lets see. Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of Memories, uhh...now Coded? Third time not including the movie. Four times in a row is a touch tedious.
So... I was kind of right that they were putting the journal back together. But all the original entries are locked inside this fabrication of Riku until the bugs get cleared.
If the journal can bring people from the real world into the datascape, why don't they get the real Sora and maybe Riku from the end of KH2 to go in and fix stuff? Surely they'd be way more powerful than this facsimile. Where _is_ Sora, anyway? Is he just sitting around Destiny Islands while all this is happening?
Also, if Genie is like a superuser that can get rid of all the bugs, why didn't Sora just wish for Genie to get rid of the bugs in all the worlds? Can he not leave the Agrabah part of the journal? I feel like that shouldn't matter, considering how disrupted the journal has already gotten, and also that Genie is literally a summon in KH1. Also I'm just now realizing that Genie doesn't actually have a name, which is kind of sad.
Do... do Maleficent and Pete not realize they're in a simulation? That would actually explain quite a lot about their actions right off the bat.
Also also, unrelated to the overarching KH plot, does Hercules really fight with his fists? He doesn't have like, a sword, or a spear, or something? Didn't he have a sword in the movie?
Yeah this Kingdom Hearts game is at the bottom my list and is the only one (not counting KH3) that I only played once and was done with. Though it still does some neat things I actually like the coliseum in this game and how the level is a turn based RPG with Cloud and Hercules in your party.
For me, CoM is the one game I've started and not finished (I've not played any of the Key trilogy) with no interest in going back to.
@@rmsgrey just one question, did you play CoM on GBA or PS2/3/4?
@@VoilaTadaOfficial
Nintendo DS, but the GBA cartridge
@@rmsgrey ah okay. If you didn't even like the GBA version, then you'd definitely not like the ps2 version.
My good sir, although you are right have you played KHUX, because it’ll probably set a new low for that list.
Wow. Need to watch out with some of the hardware in the Disney Castle. Apparently that monitor had a Tron digitizing beam.
29:34 Just a reminder: Maleficent's never worked a computer before, herself.
I swear Donald, you're the reason these games have subtitles.
Translation fact: Pete is called Kater Karlo in German. Kater means male cat or hangover. Please don't ask me why.
The Tron-Inception plot is kind of cool. I'm intrigued to find out how Data Sora reacts, when he finds out about his true nature.
Huh, I didn't know Alice's voice in this was Hynden Walch. I love her as Princess Bubblegum
"I gotta find a new line of work!" Gilbert Gottfried going into the studio to re-record KHI storyline for the umpteenth time lmao.
(I actually am loving this though)
oh boy nothing is more exciting than coliseum fights that having to watch the definitely important and well-written coliseum story WITHOUT the fights
I like this Genie better. The other one sounded more like Homer Simpson than genie
"my fight"
The way cloud said it.. like he's correcting an animal or child or something.
"Corporal! Get me the video cassette of Spaceballs the Movie!"
“Finally. It’s about time I found my way home.” Cloud
But you’re nowhere near Nibelheim!
Did Professor Ludwig Von Drake make this?... because this seems like the sort of catastrophic fiasco that would result from one of his inventions.
It Princess Bubblegum/Starfire's voice actress, isn't it!? She has that same dip to her voice in a line or two.
- WHAT!? My head hurts.
- Isn't Hercules technically a monk class?
- Cloud is still edgy fanfic adaptation.
- *Sigh* Thanks, I hate Pete, but okay.
- You know a world is overused when you recognize it by the WALL TEXTURE. Gah, please tell me it's not in KH3.
- I don't blame you for being tired, man.
Other way around. Everyone else is in the datascape.
@@callowguru2611 I'm caught up
Of the 7 worlds in coded, 3 don't appear in KH3 at all, 3 only appear in cutscenes, and 1 is playable.
@@rmsgrey YOU DEVIANT.
Every title for the recoded videos are exactly how I felt playing it on DS.
"FANFIC?!" - Dan
35:27 is it just me or does Goofy look like he's having a robot arm?
makes sense to me that this was a mobile game first, iirc there's gonna be a lot of disney fluff in this with some sort of stinger at the end?
I can't bring myself to be mad at this though, it's cute... and completely absurd, wouldn't have it any other way.
28:25 MCU Hela is so very Maleficent :p
28:38 - How very Thor: Ragnarok of this game
Recoded was the game that traumatized me. I became and am still terrified of Aladdin, thanks to the boss fight in recodded. And I don't mean the characters, I mean the movies, and world as a whole.
Who needs the Final Fantasy 7 Reboot, when you can see Cloud in every other Kingdom Hearts Game, aye?
Well I hope it comes someday anyway. 😶
Wait. This takes place after KH2, correct? I'm willing to look past Goofy and Donald wearing their original gear, Sora too, since's he's just... *sigh* "data"... but why is Riku younger too? Wat.
OMG I was not expecting that Jafar Jojo reference. XD
Not often do I hear Dan struggle through a video game “play”
Well, this is one way to raise the stakes.
A stupid way, but whatever.
ETA: OK, I spoke too soon. Not about the stupidity, but about the stake raising. They managed to raise it higher.
I like that the episode titles cover the stages of grief.
Ah yes, the first two stages of grief, Confusion and Resignation.
Oh boy. James Woods...

"What a digital dummy!"
Watching you react to all this nonsense is an absolute delight :D
Is this a retcon of sorts? The King's fools don't meet Pete for the first time until KH2, and this is the time period between COM and KH2 right?
No, Coded takes place almost immediately after Kingdom Hearts 2.
@@AerokineticX ah thanks for the clarification
Genie...isn't it against the rules to give wishes away?
Wait . . . so digital Riku is like the Backblaze of Jiminy's journal? Errr, huh?
Wait, so this is knock off Tron? Didn't they already do Tron with, you know, the Tron characters?
Jim Meskimen is apparently the new Genie. How does a good job imitating Robin Williams.
Sadly this is in a day where we know that Will Smith has been cast to play the live-action genie, and it is weird.
Yes, he has been Genie since 2008, I am going to assume Dan got too busy and expensive because of the Simpsons that Disney went to get a Robin Williams impersonator instead
Data Sora is so pure
isn't Re:coded released in the US?
...How? That's NOT how that works!
How would physical entries in a journal be ripped apart and restitched when dealing with the mental memories of all four participants in Castle Oblivion? If anything, if Jimminy had been diligent about his entries, that would be the key to at least learning of the events there, even if they couldn't recall directly.
It doesn't matter if they're treating the log as a digital mind. (Of course, let this be a lesson to use physical medium and not trust everything be recorded in digital.)
[sigh] Well, that's the world they've set up. I can roll with it.
Well, some of what is shown so far ties back into kh3... but this series is not about sull details, it is about making the story as convoluted and weird as possible,
What's the big deal putting the diary or data escape in darkness?
So when do I actually get to play
