How To Get All the Kingdom Hearts Secret Movies

Since the first Kingdom Hearts title, beating the game just wasn't enough—clearing it while meeting certain requirements would earn players a Secret Movie. The content of these movies would always be cryptic and tease something literally or thematically with where the next step in the Kingdom Hearts story would lead. If you want to obtain them though, you need our Kingdom Hearts Secret Movies Guide.

If you're enjoying our Kingdom Hearts coverage, then you can check out our review of the KH rhythm game Melody of Memory. We also have a review of the ground-breaking KH3 and an article about the worlds we'd like to see as part of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 4.

How to Get All the Kingdom Hearts Secret Movies (in Each Game)

Through this guide, I'll mention the game and the criteria for each difficulty. If the difficulty isn't listed, it means that it's impossible to get the Secret Movie playing that way. It's also worth noting that Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, and 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage do not have a Secret Movie. Coded and subsequently Re: Coded did not have secret movies, but in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix, an additional scene is added to the end of the movie to tie it to the events of Dream Drop Distance.
