Kingdom Hearts 1 FM (PS4): Part 7: An Unfair Trial in Wonderland
After a bit more shopping, it's finally time to head out from Traverse Town. You can either do that from the entrance door, or use a Save Point, though not all Save Points will allow you to leave a world.
You use Donald & Goofy's Gummi Ship to travel between worlds. Through Chip n' Dale's help, you can even try to build new ships.
When you sail off to a different world, you have to go through a shoot 'em up sequence along the way. Shoot as many Heartless ships down as you can to earn new Gummi parts, and make it to the next world in once piece without losing all of your Armor health, or you'll have to start over.
In the Final Mix version of this game, you can also go through special missions.
----------
When you go through a new world for the first time, your only open is to "Disembark" and commence the story of that world.
Here, Sora, Donald, and Goofy literally fall into the wonderous land of Wonderland, from the Disney film: Alice In Wonderland.
The Traveling Trio arrive just in time to see the White Rabbit rush on through. He's running later for something important with the Queen, and if he doesn't hurry, off goes his head!
In the following room, this is where things get really weird. The Trio are seen as giant compared to a tiny door and its talking doorknob. You have to drink some kind of special potion to shrink down to his size, but before you even do that, you can push the bed nearby literally into the wall to make a new opening you're gonna have to go through.
----------
The following room after this one leads to the Queen's Castle. This is the place the White Rabbit was in a hurry to reach, as he is responsible for commencing a trial.
A blonde-haired girl named Alice was tried as a criminal. But... why?
Because the Queen of Hearts says so, that's why! How unfair! What's even more unfair is that the Queen plans to cut off her head over this!
Goofy was reluctant to interfere with this trial, as it would be meddling with the affairs of other worlds. However, Sora wasn't just going to stand and see and innocent girl get punished over nothing!
So he stalled the trial for the time being, and the Queen of Hearts challenged him and his party to prove Alice's innocence. Should they fail, all four of them lose their heads!
----------
This is somewhat open-ended. All of the evidence you could find are in cute present boxes, but you don't have to get them all if you don't want to.
The remainder of this video focuses a lot of my time doing things in the Lotus Forest, as well as exploring the Bizarre Room from different angles.
Throughout this quest, the Traveling Trio also encounter the Cheshire Cat. He seems to love to explain things in riddles.
Some of the plants you find in the Lotus Forest can be fed Potions and Eithers. You'll get prizes from them if you give them what they like.
Also remember that there are Dalmatian puppies to find in different spots of different worlds.
----------
Once you’ve gotten as much evidence as you can, or as much as you want, head back to the Queen’s Castle and present it all to Her Majesty.
She seems intrigued by the boxes, but then she spices things up by shuffling them around. You then have to pick one out of them, and only one.
Once you do, my pick ended up releasing a Heartless, so which may the REAL culprit.
Unfortunately, the Queen of Hearts isn’t convinced, and sends her Card Soldiers to attack you while Alice is raised and hidden from view!
----------
You won’t win this fight by just beating those cards. You have to destroy the contraption in the middle that sent Alice to the top.
In the meantime, you also don’t have to hit the Queen, but it sure it funny to do!
----------
Alice’s cage is then dropped, but then alas… the lass was missing!
The Queen of Hearts was then forced to postpone the trial, and assigned her soldiers, and even Sora, Donald, and Goofy, to find Alice.
