This is video #107 in my playthrough of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, part of the Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX. This video contains commentary. To view the non-commentary version, click here: https://youtu.be/-tJauQvDzvE

The party has cleared Agrabah for the second time, and Sora has completed the 100 Acre Wood. Things are starting to look up! Now, it is time to return to Halloween Town.

So, the party touches down in Halloween Town again (time 1:00). As they are landing, we cut to Dr. Finklestein's lab. It seems the doc is working on some terrifying new contraption. Things don't seem to be going his way, do they?

Afterwards, the party arrives in the Hinterlands (time 2:35). There, they meet up with Jack Skellington.

After the scene, Jack rejoins the party (time 3:41).

Then, the party goes back to Santa's House (time 4:58). Jack returns the stolen presents, but Sandy Claws is a bit suspicious of him. Jack volunteers the team to find the real culprit. Before they can leave, though, there is a disturbance in the workshop.

When the scenes are over, we regain control in Santa's House (time 6:16). Before going up to check on matters in the workshop, the party heads towards Halloween Town proper to check on things at Dr. Finklestein's lab. Look out for new enemies called Graveyards. They are truly nasty.

Along the way, in the Graveyard area, Donald reaches Level 45 (time 8:52). He gains boosts to Strength and Max AP.

Also, while in the Graveyard area, Sora gives the Duck Flare limit a try (time 9:41).

In Halloween Town Square, it seems there is currently no entry to the mad professor's lab (time 10:52). I hope His Inventiveness is all right.

Back in Santa's House, the party heads to the Toy Factory: Shipping and Receiving (time 13:15). The elves indicate that there is trouble up on the second floor,

A scene takes place as the party enters the Wrapping Room on the second floor (time 13:47). Trouble indeed! It's Halloween Town's perennial juvenile delinquents, Lock, Shock, and Barrel.

After the scene, the party must capture the three little hooligans (time 14:33). To capture a kid, Sora and company must first incapacitate that kid. Then, Sora can use the Capture command on a gift box to throw the box at the kid and hopefully capture him/her. A kid can recover if you wait to long to use Capture. Likewise, a kid can escape from a box if not incapacitated. Regardless, this is a pretty satisfying little event battle and not too difficult.

After the battle, Sora reaches Bonus Level 43 (time 15:32). Sora gains an Item Slot. Goofy learns Auto Change. Donald and Jack each gain boosts to Max HP.

In the next scene, it is time to interrogate Lock, Shock, and Barrel (time 15:41). It turns out the purpose for their visit wasn't entirely malicious. How disappointing.

Afterwards, the party reports back to Santa Claus (time 16:52). Sally arrives to let them know there are Heartless back in Halloween Town Square, and it seems they are messing with presents. Back to Halloween Town!

When the scenes are over, the party reviews their gains a little bit (time 18:01).

They also check out the Toy Factory: The Wrapping Room upstairs (time 21:13). Disappointingly, there are no treasures or Puzzle Pieces up here.

When they are done checking out Santa's factory, the party sallies forth to Candy Cane Lane (time 22:15). The enemies here shouldn't be too bad. You may even encounter a Bulky Vendor or two.

The party heads north to Yuletide Hill (time 22:59). As before, this is a convenient place to rest. I quite agree with Donald's comments.

Afterwards, the party heads through the tree portal to the Hinterlands in the Halloweeny secton of the world (time 23:47). They plow through the Heartless and head north to the Graveyard (time 24:24).

A scene occurs as they head north to the Halloween Town Square (time 25:25). The Mayor is having problems with Heartless, and the Heartless are playing with presents!

The party must then fight the Heartless and retrieve four presents (time 26:07). The battle will end once Sora has picked up all four presents.

Afterwards, poor Jack Skellington will bemoan the battered state of the presents (time 26:53). As usual, he seems to miss the point. Then, Dr. Finklestein will emerge from his lab and issue a plea for help.

The party will receive the Present key item.

The next scene takes place in Dr. Finklestein's lab (time 27:46). His explanation only adds to the confusion. Jack comes up with an interesting scheme to lure the thief out into the open.

Back in Santa's House, Jack proposes his scheme (time 29:40). Despite some reservations, Santa will allow the party to make use of his factory.

After the scene, we regain control in Santa's House (time 30:28). An elf in Shipping and Receiving will have some interesting advice on making the fake presents.
