Which world in the first Kingdom Hearts is based on Peter Pan?

Neverland is the Kingdom Hearts world based on Disney’s Peter Pan. In the first game, Sora, Donald, and Goofy reach Captain Hook’s ship after traveling through a portal connected to Traverse Town, then become caught up in Hook’s conflict with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.

The Kingdom Hearts version draws on recognizable elements from the film, including Peter’s ability to fly, Wendy Darling, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and the ticking crocodile. Sora eventually helps Peter rescue Wendy and confront Hook. After completing the world, Tinker Bell becomes a summon, making Neverland important beyond its main story battles.

Players sometimes confuse Neverland with a larger explorable fantasy landscape from Peter Pan. In the original Kingdom Hearts, the setting is presented mainly through Hook’s pirate ship and nearby areas rather than a complete tour of the film’s island. The world is also distinct from Agrabah, Wonderland, and Deep Jungle: those are separate Disney-based worlds inspired by Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, and Tarzan.
