This is why KH1 will forever be my favorite in the series. I can admit that future games had better gameplay and graphics and whatnot, but KH1 feels like the one that had the most love and passion put into it, and that still holds true even 2 decades later.

​@@misterfevillord1588 maybe "rushed" isn't the best word to use in this case; i think it would be more correct to say that the developers simply decided to sacrifice the platformer side of KH to focus mainly on the combat system which, in fact, has been massively improved (camera, fluidity, combo modifiers, etc). In the end, it's matter of tastes. By the way, kudos to you for what you've said in your first comment, i was really starting to think that i was the only one to notice that thing. I 100% agree with you, the fact that Ansem himself is considered a puppet and the real "enemy" of the first game is basically a philosophical concept (Darkness is hatred, jelousy, violence and all the negative emotions that can poison a heart) is one of KH's most interesting points.

Ask Tetsuya about secrets, but also ask the game devs. They sneak things in all the time. It's very possible there's something *only devs* know about.

I felt like I did try, but I didn't remember it working. Might have just not bothered to get a good look at the top back then. I did accidentally hit it with fire though, so I knew that half I guess.

I don't know what to say. I'm honestly in shock. I always thought it was just the strategy to do this. Take out the stove. Re light it, you can essentially control the boss where you want him to walk around, bait him when he's trying to light, put it out during which chop him up, then relight bait him put it out when he's reaching for it. If he's across the room attacking you without fire turn on the stove, then he'll be distracted and want to walk towards it. Repeat.

I found this out on my first playthrough as a kid in 2002! Adult me always thought it was the Mandella Effect coming in since I never got it to work again.

Here's my lesser known bit. You know the large black fruit fight in Deep Jungle with the never ending powerwilds? If you bloom all the flowers in the arena with magic they stop coming and you can destroy the fruit in peace.

I LOVE games like this. I LOVE it. It rewards players for thinking outside the box after all of these years. I don't think I've seen a game that just keeps on giving like this.

KH1 is a gem. Still my fav KH game due to all the special lil details it has

I can’t believe I never knew this. KH1 is the game I always go back to, It’s a comfort game. I’ve played this hundreds of times, and I never knew 🤯

Hey, I knew about this one. You can also directly light his sticks on fire or extinguish them by casting magic from atop the table. I'll take my video game interactive, please.

Something I never realized in KH1 is that if you press and hold R1 whilr in the Gummi ship, it locks your aiming reticle in place as well as alters your movement. I have no idea if this is common knowledge or not but I discovered it while fooling around during world gummi missions.

I learn something new every time I play this game. Just played it again and I found that you can hit the Queen of Hearts to make all the cards faint. I'm sure that was in the guides and stuff but I always just went straight for the control tower. Truly the game that keeps on giving!

Nice! Just started a KH1 run a few days ago, will definitely use this

I actually remember using this stove trick! I kinda discovered it by accident while attempting Proud Mode, just throwing random spells at the boss out of frustration while it was going to the stove. Imagine my amazement, and further frustration when I still had to retry. Lol

I just checked, it only mentions extinguishing the torches not the stove.

I remember casting aeroga on the fight against rock titan and literally standing between his two heads. He was KO'd before I knew it because aeroga apparently causes extra damage😂.

I knew that there's gotta be something with that stove because it reacts to keyblade attacks. Time for that famous KH quote; "I didn't know you could do that!"

I don't think this is meant to be a secret (something not easily discovered), but rather a poorly designed feature. If the intention was to show the player that the hole in the fireplace below the stove has a function, then they failed because they didn't provide enough clear visual cues. Visually adding an animation of the fireplace burning, or making the flames on the stovetop more prominently visible, would have conveyed the purpose of the hole in the fireplace much more effectively. This would be even more effective if the boss went to the fireplace to light their torch.

I swear, my brother and me do that with that Boss every single time that we played kh1

I had kinda thought this might be the case. People were always confused about the targetable grate, and I have accidentally put out the batons directly with blizzard. I hadn't done it yet (I don't think) but certainly was thinking on it. My guess for why it wasn't discovered is simply that you can't see the effects right away. The stove is out of view when you can hit the bottom so you can see it going out or coming on when you hit that with magic. Fun secret, but maybe a bit awkward game design as there is no feedback you did anything.

Crazy that people somehow didn't know this. What's next? The interactions Xemnas has with Gravity magic?

Interesting fact: I've never seen anyone discuss this one glitch but in KH 3D in the 2.8 collection in Monstro, you can use Thunder Dash, Fire Dash or Sliding Dash to go into one of the walls and clip through the floor lmao I'm so certain I'm not the only one who's discovered this, let this be more well known please!! I wanna know if anyone else discovered it! It might actually be patched now but the last time I tried it was in 2020 so it's unlikely but worth a try!

I accidentally discovered this while playing through for the first time and I didn't get used to the lock on just yet. I randomly aimed at the stove and noticed he wasn't using his fire attacks anymore

Man I love how you're always bringing me little KH goodies. Definitely using this trick in my current playthrough.

I feel like the only thing that got close to the KH1 charm for me, was in KH3 and the Kingdom of Corona world. Where you can do little activities with Rapunzel while you're exploring the world. Like using Aero to make many dandelions fly, or splashing in the water with Rapunzel, or taking singing birds to her. But even still. I still love KH2 and KH3 over KH1 overall, but I will agree that there's a certain magic to KH1 that no other game has.

I was wondering why you could lock onto the stove! This explains it!

I think I did this once and never put together the connection that I turned off the stove for awhile, just that he wasn't using fire. Kinda funny considering a recent playthrough made me realize how much Wonderland rewards you for exploring, including the uses of Blizzard, yet I still didn't notice this.

Hey! Fun fact, you use fire on the fireplace to blast that chest off the top of the chimney! Until you do so, it's too awkwardly high to open it. That's why the chimney smokes, to show you! In regards to the bosses fire attack, you can disable him with Blizzard as well, instead of hitting the stove!

Let’s go💙😎🔥 continue the great work and gonna watch in a bit

I never knew he lit his pins on fire lol I just instinctually put out the fire with the new magic I got and I was only 8

Wow - I actually used this technique while playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time when it was released on PC. Thought everyone already knew about it 😄

My roommate is playing kingdom hearts for the first time this week. He cast blizzard at the stove and I was shocked when it turned off. He was like it just made sense for me to try

I knew about this, but didn't know it was specifically 3 times. I've been slowly streaming KH games with a goal to do randomizer after clearing em on stream eventually and I tried to do it when I was on trickmaster.

When I was younger I remember hearing the rumor of Sora's sister being unlockable as a kid, that she was either in the Tarzan jungle or 100 acre woods. I looked for a long time as a kid. Has anyone else ever heard that rumor

I found out about this way before when I was doing another casual KH play through, and I just blizzard the stove bottom thinking it would unlight the stove, which it did.

Wow! I can't believe I actually knew something most people didn't! I tried this many years ago during a play though after I noticed you can lock onto the stove. This is why KH1 is my favourite, precisely because of that charm you mentioned. I love it even more now I know I discovered something most didn't know about too. 😁💚 P.s. I hope you're doing well Jared, absolutely loving all the new content

The official game guides mention using blizzard on the batons, so since there was already a known use for it and it's hard to see the flames extinguished I can see why it was (mostly) missed.

While I didn't know it for a fact, I always just figured it was the case. Even without having done or seen it.

I hope they bring back how interactive the worlds are for new kingdom hearts game. All the hidden puzzles and details are so cool

So i never knew about the stove. But i did accidently discover as a kid. That if you fire blizzard at his tourches it also puts em out. So if u dont get to the stove in time. U can attempt to put em out before he spits fire at you.

I knew about this around the time the remakes came out. But that’s why I love most about kh1 it just requires you to be so creative at times and use context clues it was truly a game of its time

Can't decide whether I wanna do this to make the fight easier in future playthroughs, or continue bouncing the flames back with my regular attack. Hmm...

I feel like I have noticed the lock-on one time but completely forgot about it during the boss fight and afterwards.

I'm still pissed they went out of their way to exclude square staples like cloud squall cid and the rest of the gang from the third iteration. but HEY!!!! at least we got weaponized rides.

If you cast fire on Riku, he will stop fighting normally to redirect it at you. Leaving him vulnerable. If you cast blizzard on jafar, he will stop attacking to put up a force field, both making them vulnerable. If you cast fire on hook, his pants will catch fire, he will run like kh2 classic Pete, but if you cast thunder, he will use his saber to absorb it, like a lightning rod. Melificent’s dragon form has thorns surrounding the room, Sora can stand in them to avoid the shockwaves.

What you say during the first minute is so true. Thanks to all that KH1 has an adventure feeling that sometimes is missing from all the others KH.

I saw that on Twitter and I was wanting to play KH 1 again so I played it again just to test if and I'm almost finishing it

i had no idea this was possible

KH2 may be my favorite, but KH1 will always have the advantage of being more fascinating to me. As much as I played both games, KH1 just has this mystery feeling to it, like there’s always more to explore. KH2 on the other hand doesn’t give me that excitement from the unknown, only excitement from nostalgia and the fact I just love the combat system. Sometimes it’s hard to believe they’re even the same universe.

I feel like the reason KH1 feels so special compared to the rest of the series is that while the combat got better, it feels more like Nomura over time trying to make the series more and more like DMC: Disney Edition. While KH1 actually feels like it's the most focused on being just a classic RPG experience with puzzles and more and fairly easy to understand story for the time.

The stove is not new, it's just less people knows about it's mechanics. Each time the Trickster uses its fire tricks, it always use the stove to burn its baton. At the start of the battle you can use blizzard to turn it off but trickster will turn it on whenever he uses it to put flame on its baton. KH wiki guide also motioned it on the Boss guide. Trickster is also weak to thunder spell, you can stun it by casting thunder on its head.

I think the best secret I've seen is someone found the game has a fail safe if Sora gets stuck falling on an object. They jammed themselves between a boulder and a wall and after a while the game destroyed the boulder so Sora could land.

I didn't know it was a 100 sec. I always thought it was permanent. And I also thought everyone knew about it, as I'm honestly not very smart, but I found this trick out way back when. Oh, and apparently, you can knock his fireballs back! Did not know that.

I've always used Blizzard on the stove once... and I looked on top to see if the flames came back and repeated until I defeated him 😅

I knew this already just by experimenting. You can also do that to the batons of the trick master too

Never knew this my entire life. No one I knew ever mention or attempted this.

I remember doing this as a kid. Not on purpose though, I didn't know it'd actually do something. I just got a fight where he never used the fireballs and always wondered why.

The directions in Wonderland are SO unclear. I remember almost giving up on this game because I didn’t know you had to push the bed into the wall to access the courtroom area. I really did remember almost giving up on Kingdom Hearts because I had no idea what to do after talking to the door knob. Thank god for strategy guides 😅

I have faith in the series. KH3 tried and got pretty close to this level of detail. It just wasn’t enough and kinda got overshadowed because of the other conversations surrounding the game.

I discovered the lock on after a fight one time and used magic out of instinct. Saw the fire go out Promptly forgot about it every playthrough since

Something new (to me) is that apparently you can skip the 2nd part Clayton in KH1 (but you get softlocked). I'm not sure the proper way to do it exactly, I just saw a clip

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THE STOVE HAD A LOCK ON

I remember first learning that when 1.5 released. Makes the boss a breeze on crit mode lol.

Replaying KH3 and I added the “Endless Judgement Mod” to the game to give Sora a judgement cut and perfect JC and it totally changes the game. It so fun to get a good group together and just annihilate them all with Judgement cuts. It definitely makes Sora feel a bit more… POWERFUL

my favorite kind of TGJ vids

I knew about this but I didn't even know this wasn't already known by the community.

The real cream of the crop if it comes to rather unknown techniques and tricks for the general mass are KH speedruns. first time I heard about damage storage as an example already blew my mind and there is so much more.

So we're almost at 8,000 days since KH1 came out?! 😮

I'm honestly shocked that I've known this since I was a kid and thought that everyone knew. And would have probably exposed it a long time ago if I had known it was not a well known thing.

I do want to say before everyone starts streaming online and stuff I'm pretty sure a lot of secrets were found but just won't record it or talked about later cuz we thought it was a regular part of the game but I'm glad we're still finding things a lot of people probably didn't know

I think KH1 is the best of the series just for the more interesting environmental interactions and generally having more platforming/adventure aspects to the maps compared to everything after

I accidentally discovered this when it first came out.

Honestly thought this was already known, thought there was a hint in the game about this before the Boss appears. Phantom sort of does the same thing by having you lock onto the Clock Tower.

2:44 I feel like they were hoping it would be an intuitive discovery, what with the accessory shop furnace and candle interactions prior. I even lit the oven when I first came to the room, hoping it would do something cool. And then frantically went to attempting the opposite once I realized I may have inadvertently helped the boss kill me faster

This is such a weird thing because I remember playing kh1 in like 2004 and I messed with this and remember it had some sort of effect, but trying to recall that memory specifically eludes me. Hearing the full explanation makes sense. while my mind doesn't seem to recall the specifics and this should be new information to me, there's also a part of my mind that's like "yea there's always been a thing with this stove hasn't there?" Just very weird and my mind playing tricks on me.

I thought that freezing the bubbles in Hollow Bastion was gonna be the last thing I learned about KH 😅
