Twilight Town (トワイライト　タウン Towairaito Taun) is a world in the games Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. The description of Twilight Town in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories states that it is a curious town between light and dark. It was thought by fans to be the hub of all activity in Kingdom Hearts II, in a similar fashion to Traverse Town in the original game, but Square Enix later stated that Hollow Bastion would be filling that role. Instead, players go through many jobs in this town, including a mini-game in which players deliver letters and post flyers on a skateboard. It fufills a role more similar to the Destiny Islands in the previous game. This is the only world where the player can control Roxas.

Twilight Town consists of two districts that are connected by train, (which is confirmed to be the world transporter for this game)(not between worlds) the shopping district and Sunset Residential District.

Shopping District

In the middle of the town is the beloved clock tower, which has a view of the shopping district. The shopping district has many stores (i.e. accessory store) and a lot of houses. Citizens of Twilight Town use trams to travel through the Tram Plaza, which is located in the middle of the shopping district.

Sunset Residential District

There is a suburb in Twilight Town, Sunset Residential District, which gives an outlook of the ocean. Sunset Hill, which is located in the residential district, is known for its spectacular view of the sunset. On the top of the hill is a monument that tributes the construction of the clock tower, the symbol of the town. Unlike the shopping district, there are not a lot of people walking around in this district, along the lined-up streetlamps that bend over the little river that passes through the middle of Sunset Residential District. Citizens get to the suburb by riding the train from Central Station, which passes a tunnel and into Sunset Station.

Other

Screenshots reveal a huge mansion behind a locked gate, which can be reached from the Tram Plaza and through the forest. This mansion is called the Old Mansion and it seems that nobody enters or leaves that place... And underground this building is a secret headquarters of the Organization XIII, which in turn leads to the World That Never Was; the true base of operations of the Organization and most importantly, the world of Kingdom Hearts itself.

Twilight Town introduces the second playable character of Kingdom Hearts II, a blond boy who has some sort of connection with Sora. This boy, named Roxas (an anagram of "Sora X"), is first seen on the clock tower above Twilight Station admiring the view. Players watch this scene after completing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories as Riku in the Reverse/Rebirth mode at the end of the credits. Roxas is also seen with friends: Hayner, Olette and Pence. Hayner and his gang have a little hideout, called ‘the usual place,’ near the shopping district. It was originally a passageway, but Hayner’s gang took over and brought a lot of stuff in it—creating a home-like atmosphere. Cracks in the ceiling reveals train tracks and the sound of the train going by may be heard.

Struggle

In Kingdom Hearts II, Roxas and his friends are seen talking elsewhere in the town, while the boy thinks to himself about strange dreams he is having. Later, along with his friends, Roxas enters a tournament called "The Struggle Battle Tournament" in which he must duel his opponents one-on-one with a bat, including Seifer Almasy, who is with Rai and Fuu (all characters from Final Fantasy VIII) and Vivi Ornitier from Final Fantasy IX, and Setzer Gabbiani from Final Fantasy VI. The objective of the game is simple: to pick up the opponent's dropped balls. The game is interesting to watch and is Twilight Town’s popular battle game. A champion of the tournament is showered with great popularity. The Struggle battle is located in a vacant lot (an open area with a bench in the middle of it) below the Tram Plaza. It is also where Seifer and his gang, who are Roxas and his friends’ rival, hang out.
