WAIT THATS WHAT MARIO DID??!?!?!?!!? I-I didn't even realize it, it makes sense now!! the Keyblade opened the door for Sora to enter the Smash Bros world like Sora enters other worlds...he didn't need an invitation 😁
Yeah and then Mario would become a keyblade master when he trains at master yen sid Only to have his previous abilities taken from him and then he doesn't pass also yen sid spelled backwards is disn-
Well, technically smash isn’t canon to any of the franchises represented in it (except maybe Kid Icarus). But yeah, Mario has used a key blade in an officially licensed piece of media published by Nintendo. Crazy.
Only thing is it was so Disney I didn't even realize it was based on S&C. Simple and Clean is... interesting in that there is no other moment in history where Disney and Square would put that song at the front of their game.
I don't even consider Endgame a true crossover in the first place. Sure, most of the characters came from different movies but they all ultimately share one same universe: The MCU.
The fact that Sora was the actual ballot winner and now finally gets his time to shine in Smash means not only did the fans’ wishes come true but so did Sakurai’s. What an incredible feat
I feel like that’s what people who are mad doesn’t understand..Sakurai was actually genuinely happy to put this character out you can see the excitement on his face talking about this character and that’s what made it even more amazing
@@jackluffy7914 well, it WAS Iwatas last wish before he went to the sky. He told Sakurai to do everything he can to get Sora in, because Iwata cared about the fans... Sigh... We lost a hero but in return, we gained one.
Who knows, maybe one day Nintendo and Disney will collaborate into making the perfect crossover game in the future. What happened on Tuesday is probably just the beginning. Greatness awaits... :)
@@KeleTulsa just need to have data for Melody of Memories, which isn't that bad.

But good for getting reminded instead of playing through every single game again. Thought there would at least be more story like other non main line games.
@@wyario2025 Not happening. This game is already one huge licensing hell so I doubt even Nintendo would be able to pull it off again. It's better to cut the roster in future games for better balance and to refresh the series.
Well, I wouldn't say that. Nothing is impossible. We just might not see something of this magnitude for a long time. Though I certainly wouldn't say never.
I am not a Kindom Hearts fan, have never played any of the games, but I felt like I was going to cry watching the trailer. That is when you know a trailer is good. It makes you feel emotions you thought you never had.
Hikari: What do you mean I'm not in Smash!? I was in the reveal trailer! Life Will Change: You too, huh? Overture: It happens to the best of us... Original Counterattack: Don't worry, you'll get over it.

I loved how Mario who is basically the biggest gaming icon in the world, and Nintendo's mascot basically, shook hands with Sora who is like Disney's and Square Enix's most beloved game character. Now they are both able to fight each other in the biggest crossover in gaming history, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Nothing is going to top that. Not even in a million years. We just witness something only a man like Sakurai and his team can only do. Impossible.
Very true! I was personally satisfied to just see Joker from Persona 5 and Steve from Minecraft join the fight and their series be represented in Smash at all! Sora’s inclusion really felt like the bow tie ending of a gift to the fans called Super Smash Bros Ultimate! So I gotta give massive respect for Sakurai and his team for making the impossible…… Possible. #thankyousakurai
Obsessed with this trailer. Not only is it a beautiful arrangement of the most recognizable Kingdom Hearts track ever, its Japanese title translates to Light, which is a beautiful throwback to the opening of Ultimate, LifeLight. Perfect way to bookend this legendary game.

Man 0:35 just hit so hard watching Sora fly as the last character of Smash with all the characters looking in awe under him, what a master stroke of gaming
Honestly, it didn't even feel like AWE. It felt like respect and reverence. Like "Yeah, you deserve this." I'm not a huge KH fan but like, that's big. Smash is like "This is your spot in video game history. This is your legacy."
First we thought sonic was impossible, then it was cloud, then Steve and then Sora. At this point I'm convinced Sakurai has the ability to just say, "_______ in smash" and anyone would say yes. What a legend.
To anyone that doesn't really understand how big this is, let me try to explain this as simply as possible. A video game character who travels to different iconic Disney movie universes in a collaboration you'd never see anywhere else..... Just became the last character to join Smash a Nintendo made video game with most ambitious video game character lineup of all time. It just makes sense. All of these characters coming together in a single game you'll probably never see again for a long time. From the Mushroom Kingdom to Hyrule to Minecraft to Green Hill Zone. All of these characters in one universe like how all of the Disney characters from kingdom hearts share a universe in their games. It's a celebration of collaboration.
@@speedphoenix9005 not really. It's big because Sora has been wanted in smash since melee days. Basically close to 20 years, I mean sure him being Disney is all cool and all but we know how much of a monopoly mongrel Disney is that sakurai went through all the hoops to get this character FOR US. That's how powerful this was. He went out with a bang on this
Insanse how Sora knows almost every Disney/Pixar universe and now he's able to travel to Spiral Mountain, Mementos, Mishima Dojo, Suzaku Castle, PAC-LAND, Dr. Willy's Castle, Dracula's castle, WarioWare, Inc. and The KOF stadium... Like shit this guy's is god-like he traveled not only on gaming multiverses also on cinema multiverses the amount of characters he has seen is insane...
Mickey: They’re waiting for you, Sora. Sora: Where are they? Mickey: Behind that door. You can use your Keyblade to unlock it. Sora: What about you Mickey? Mickey: I’ll stay behind. Just have fun ok?
@@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269 Preforming for you. If you know the words, you can join them too. Put your hands together, if you wanna clap. As we take you through, this Smash roster!
0:36 “Simple and clean is the way that you’re making me feeeeeeeel tonight....” It had the emotional weight of a tearful reunion or resurrection. It really felt like our boy came home.
It's more funny if you watch the end of KH2 then smash reveal. Because at end of KH2 he receives a letter like a smash invitation and says he has to go without explaining
I wanted Eggman, but honestly Sora deserved it more And I can’t imagine a better trailer for the last character being added then the one we got, to the end of a generation and further beyond Welcome to the game Sora!!!
@@Davidson640 Eggman is probably the most iconic video game villain left at this point, it’s not a surprise that a lot of people would want him to be playable.
god this just makes me grin ear to ear listening to this. Like damn Sakurai, that madman actually did it. I ain't even a KH fan but this is such an amazing way to close Smash out.
I don’t care this music is not in Smash game, it’s still a perfect tone to announce Sora as the final DLC fighter. It’s truly a Disney magical experience. And Sora & Mario’s handshake was just wholesome.😭
You know, I’m not a fan of the series or character by any means, but hearing this in the trailer as he shook Mario’s hand almost made me tear up because I immediately thought of how happy he made people and how many people this game has brought together. Truly the greatest achievement in video game history.
It's kind of poetic that Mario was featured so prominently in that trailer. Kingdom Hearts was inspired by Mario 64. Makes me wonder if they knew that and did that as a nod.
Not my original comment on it but seen on another video. But its also symbolic that Mario was the one to reach into the fire as it basically represents Nintendo going into the hellfire of licensing and legal agreements with Disney and Square Enix to put him in the game.
The cooler thing about Sora's reveal, is he wasn't invited with an invitation like with all DLC fighters, Mario summoned him by choice to come join Smash. And if you take that into thought, Sora truly is as special fighter, as it was Mario who chosen him to join the roster.
The fact that Nintendo has their own park at Universal Studios and now has Disney's Sora in Smash show's that Nintendo is the true champions of the company empire
*Square's Sora. disney owns kh but nomura owns it more. disney consults nomura on using the ip, without his say they cant do shit. disney did not have to approve this lmao
@@Beefaroni_Bert actually, former Disney VP of Production, John Vignocchi has stated that Disney 100% owns Sora. Games are developed by SE, yes, but it really is Disney who’s pulling the strings.
Nintendo, Disney, Sakurai and nomura they make it canon, it happens after the remind events Sora's soul was called for people who needs him to help and he went through, and remember they are going to another universe
During every reveal, I heard thousands of cheers and screams from everyone who wanted that character. But hear? All I heard were tears. Tear of joy wept by the people who genuinely wanted this character in the game and finally had their wish become a reality.
@@kylelacey1212 You mean it's not up to Disney, as they own the character, the series, and pretty much everything else for Kingdom Hearts that wasn't already created by Square Enix. But you are right, the song is owned by Hikaru Utada, thus not in the game.
This history making moment also marked the end of an era. Now that Sora is in Smash, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will go down in history as one of the BIGGEST gaming cross-overs ever made. #ThankYouSakurai
From now on, Mario taking the keyblade to open the keyhole for Sora, and them shaking hands are the most iconic moments in gaming history. This was something absolutely impossible, something beyond our possibilities, but Sakurai and his team, and Iwata, did it. They did it for real. The song was _key_ to represent what this event means, and how it ends. Thank you so much Sakurai, and Iwata. Thank you for everything.
I know that was a surprise for me even tho I haven’t played any of the games the feeling of the music is just so good to listen in the trailer plus I knew from the start that sora will be in smash
@@chrisphelps4552 No Disney STILL has “soul” from the animators and creators working there. Disney still has magic and love and they can always make more Disney beautiful magic and films in the future but a lot of the times they are a tyrant when it comes to making money.
When I heard this I seriously got chills it just fits so well for the final smash character to be revealed with this song playing. Congratulations sakarai you’ve really done the impossible here
Sephiroth’s trailer got everyone screaming like monkeys and Sora got everyone crying oceans of tears now THATS how to end a year and a game like smash bros thank U Sakurai
I should point out that Sonic had more interaction with Disney through Wreck it Ralph prior to Mario shaking Sora's hand. Not trying to cause dispute on purpose, I'm just saying.
Yeah Disney ignores us fans pretty bad. Which is weird cause my friend went in Disneyland as Sora once and was getting called out all day. It’s popular but Disney just refuses to acknowledge we exist and are ashamed to the point they don’t even like KH to exist in the greater gaming community it feels like
@@iaxacs3801 That may actually explain why Sora got in. Yet didn't Disneyland promote kingdom hearts with having Sora meet and greet people? Or am I mistaken?
@@calummacritchie7840 They did for like a day, they pretended to care and then after KH3 released and they got their money they immediately shoved us back into the storage warehouse, not even Disney Tokyo has anything KH. It's like that piece of shit mom who neglected you all your life but will come for drug money on your birthday.
@@tones2480 That's Dearly Beloved Swing Remix. The one from the trailer (and in this video) is Hikari, an orchestral version of "Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikari It's just like "Life Will Change" was in Joker's reveal trailer, but not in the game. One time thing
The lesson that Sakurai taught us this week is that, a dream is a wish your heart makes. Whether you’re awake or fast asleep. And that no matter how your heart may be grieving, IF you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will in fact come true. So thank you Sakurai.
@@choodle9729 No… Nomura writes Deus Ex Machina cliches just so that good always wins by saying “Your heart is everything”. If we put logic aside… Sora’s inclusion was just perfect because its proof that anything is possible if you just believe and hold true to your dreams.
Crazy to think it's been more than a year since this happened. Unfortunately, ultimate ended during one of the most stressful points in my life, so looking back at these times, they feel rather bittersweet
The impossible has been achieved. A Disney property in Smash, after six long years. A true legal nightmare, finally defeated and turned into a dream. Welcome, Sora. Enjoy your stay.
This song is just perfect for the reveal. It captures the magic that Sora has, as well as the magic within that moment of the reveal. It also has a sense of a sombre, yet celebratory finale. The finale of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate
Just like Super Mario 64 inspired Nomura to create Kingdom Hearts, Mario is the one who brings Sora in by forging the Keyblade and passing it to him. That was spectacular symbolism. Thank you very much Master Sakurai.
I never had much of a care for competitive Smash. But after seeing this character, a character who I’ve grown up with be introduced as the final for the roster, I want to become one of, if not, the greatest Sora player in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It’s time I finally commit to something that I truly love.
This was the most beautiful and magical trailer for Smash I’ve ever witnessed, and I could not be more happier for Kingdom Hearts fans across the globe.
Nintendo and Disney bringing us magical stuff like this. It honestly made my day. Thank you Sakurai. The amount of people that just had a dream come true with this like dang. Snake, Sonic, Mario, Pac-Man, Sora, Joker. I don't think anyone ever thought Smash would get this big.
The key this song is in just tugs at your heartstrings given the sheer gravity and symbolism of Sora's addition. And that's coming from me; someone with no emotional stake in KH at all. This was the perfect choice. And the fact that his mere inclusion today was enough to drive fans to tears across the globe is enough to make me cry too.
It really does, everyone involved in dragging this kid into the absolute nonsense that is Smash knew what a miracle bringing him on was, and the way Simple and Clean is orchestrated here just... god its so heavy, this is the end... but it'll never end... a game made of impossibilities Time and again we've thought this and that was impossible for the series, from Sonic, to Snake, to Cloud, to Snake a second time, to half the fuckin DLC, to this boy, Disney's boy
About the only thing I can say, as well as countless other fans #ThankYouSakurai Edit: I actually played a Kingdom Hearts song back when I was in middle school band. I couldn't remember what song it was, so I asked my band teacher from middle school a few days ago, to see if she knew the name of the Kingdom Hearts song we played. I found the recording in which we played this unknown Kingdom Hearts song, and it turned out to be this exact song. Obviously because of that, this song means so much more to me than this song just being an epic moment in gaming.
I still feel like I’m clicking on one of the fake fan-made Smash music entries looking at Sora’s render. I have to remind myself that this did finally happen.
Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky- one sky, one destiny.
I have a small theory: Sora's release was planned from the very start. In realm of light it deals with the fighters being overtaken with darkness, sealing away the darkness in their bodies, and making light and dark equal. Which is the plot of Kingdom hearts
This is also the opening song to Dream Drop Distance, right? Very good choice of music for one of the most iconic and memorable moments in Videogame History.
It's also the opening to the franchise as a whole, when you sit at the title screen for the original game an alternate intro plays with this music playing over it :D
@@TheRebornExpert yes! Theres also a lines of words that are written out prior to the song. Those same words ended up being retconned into Kairi’s letter to Sora during the prologue in KH2.
This song literally gives me goosebumps. It's so magical. I know the games can be pretty wacky sometimes and I often forget just how much I really liked Kingdom Hearts, but listening to this song reminds me just how good it was. Sora is by far the best final character we could have gotten and I'm happy he got in over my choice (Crash Bandicoot), and I look forward to buying these games on Switch.
Such a great song. It's good Instrumental. I listen to it, rarely. I played one Kingdom hearts, wasn't my style, but I'm fairly certain my sister (God rest her soul) would have loved it. She was very much into Disney. She literally made Disney as part of her lifestyle. She played some video games, but just as a side hobby. Whenever she had time to kill.
I wasn't ready. It's not the nostalgia bomb. It was the reminder this was the first game I beat after my dad passed away before I transitioned to a 360 (before Halo Reach). The finale was so fucking hard for me because he and I would grind on Kingdom Hearts for gear and killing the big baddies. I still tear up a little bit seeing Sora come to this. 20 years of being known as a complicated-plot-weeb game with a strangely silent fan base now gets its biggest win that I'm happy to be apart of. Hats off to SquareEnix and Nintendo. I think it's time I bought a switch.
This character, this event, this whole spectacle means so much for so many different people. There's not anything more magical than this. Going through comments, seeing just what it means to each person who found this video. I still can't believe it's real.
I like to imagine that when Mario saw the Key Blade on fire for the first time, he knew what was going on and only he could "invite" Sora to Smash... but it would be extremely risky to without getting burnt to a crisp. That risk scenario is a metaphor of how Nintendo invited Disney and Square Enix to get Sora in Smash; *risky* But they did it! #ThankYouSakurai
Mickey: I think now is a good time, Sora… here Sora: a letter? Mickey: read it Sora: ok… **proceeds to read letter** WHAT?! king, a.. are you serious?? Can I really?! Mickey: or course Sora, it’s time for you to join these other champions an become apart of history, go on kid, you’ve earn it. Sora: **proceeds to hug Mickey** thank you, king Mickey, I’ll do you, an everyone else proud!
@@Lightningstrike1220 and then mickey proceeded to represent the shadier aspects of the disney corporation just like everyone else portrays him on the internet
*Sora walks through the door that his heart has guided him to and is immediately met with every single fighter. Sora:Wow... Mario:Welcome. Sora:Do I really belong here? Mario:You've touched so many hearts and made so many people happy. Of course you belong here. Sora:Thank you for having me. Mario:No. Thank You Sora now take your place among the greats. Sora:Okay!
I keep rewatching the trailer over and over!!!! Get so nostalgic remembering the intro cutscene to KH1 where this plays and it says “Thinking of you, wherever you are.” Such a great moment in Smash/KH history! 🥰
3:07-3:12 as it showed Sora being on multiple stages it gave me goosebumps, like the sheer power of having him in this game is unimaginable, something so significant not a single soul could comprehend And I’m not saying this because I wanted Sora from the beginning nah I wanted Steve and Doomslayer, but damn isn’t this just history in the making?
Perfect choice of music for the final smash trailer, its so emotional and epic, I dont even play KH yet I could still feel the greatness of these collaboration (and I would say hearing such beautiful piece as my first exposure to KH is actually great, first time listening it and its already stuck in my head definitely going to check out more of KH soundtrack), that final trailer with game footage was beyond perfection.
I’ve been a Kingdom Hearts fan for almost a decade, and a Smash fan for even longer. This is a dream come true! My favorite game is in my other favorite game! I am so freaking happy!
Sora to Waluigi: “Stay back where you belong, as an Assist Trophy” Sora when using his Final Smash on Sephiroth: “Stay back where you belong, behind these doors”
This is one of the most important moments in video gaming history. Congratulations, everyone, both you and I experienced a historical moment first hand...
This took me by suprise. Im not even a huge Kingdom Hearts fan, but damn does this hit hard. Im happy for all the KH fans out there. I know how much this means to you all. What a fantastic way to end Smash Ultimate off. Thanks alot Sakurai, for making our dreams come true:)
I am not afraid to say that this song made one of my days brighter than ever. I was depressed as hell. And listening to this song made me wanna draw.. Sora. So thank you Sora. Thank you for uploading this video. Thank you all for making my life tremendously better. ♥
Not even kidding here but when this song played in the trailer, it felt so damn magical and so fitting for the last fighter. Seeing the logo for the last time and Sakurai saying goodby brought a tear to my eye. #thankyousakurai
Man it really has been a year since I was freaking out early in the morning. I didn’t look at any leaks and I was a Smash fan who was open minded of who’s getting in. I was excited when Banjo, Steve, Sephiroth, Pyra/Mythra were announced but Sora’s reveal blew me away because someone I wanted to be in Smash for a long time finally got in. After the Smash reveal, this theme hits so much harder that I get emotional just for listening to it

So I gotta give massive respect for Sakurai and his team for making the impossible…… Possible. #thankyousakurai
Was really holding out for club penguin penguin man, but this will do lol, would have been so hype if this played and a flipper just reached out lol
* sora voice * theyre stupid!
Pit: Woah he can fly! Where did you learn that from?
Sora: A boy in green tunic.
Everyone looks at Link
Link: wat.
lol
Toon or Young Link?
@@TageM_Official I’d say young, because he looks more like Peter Pan then toon does.
Obsessed with this trailer. Not only is it a beautiful arrangement of the most recognizable Kingdom Hearts track ever, its Japanese title translates to Light, which is a beautiful throwback to the opening of Ultimate, LifeLight. Perfect way to bookend this legendary game.
I mean, this version of Simple and Clean is used for the intro to Dream Drop and the KH3 announcement trailer.

@@charlie4christ536 no one cares, this is Smash babyyyyy
Man 0:35 just hit so hard watching Sora fly as the last character of Smash with all the characters looking in awe under him, what a master stroke of gaming
Honestly, it didn't even feel like AWE. It felt like respect and reverence.
Like "Yeah, you deserve this."
I'm not a huge KH fan but like, that's big. Smash is like "This is your spot in video game history. This is your legacy."
It definitely gave me some Peter Pan vibes.
Well he did learn to fly from Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
It’s beautiful disney like music which is what sora is all about!
@@abbycollins it’s supposed as it’s intentionally supposed to sound Disney like as that’s what sora and kingdom hearts is all about.
First we thought sonic was impossible, then it was cloud, then Steve and then Sora. At this point I'm convinced Sakurai has the ability to just say, "_______ in smash" and anyone would say yes. What a legend.
As long as it's not another Fire Emblem character, or another pointless anime sword fighter.
@@legofordman5788 You mean another pointless furry platformer mascot.
@@ltb1345 I dunno, even then I think it'd would've been cool to see people like Crash and Rayman in Smash, but I'm cool either way.

@Bi Jill Oh no, fuck bubsy, it's just that the way you worded it, you made it seem like there are more than one furry platformer mascot in smash.
With the magic of Disney, and the will of Iwata. Sakurai unlocked the door to all possibilities.
He used Iwata's Light to guide him to Sakurai's Keyhole.

@MNthal It make more sense in the context of the games.
Doesn't sound any less dirty, but still makes sense.
A lot of people don't understand how amazing it really is, for both smash fans and Kingdom hearts. Etika would be so happy.
Etika wouldn't have screamed, he would have actually cried
@@datphats8103 And gets excited in so many parts
To anyone that doesn't really understand how big this is, let me try to explain this as simply as possible.
A video game character who travels to different iconic Disney movie universes in a collaboration you'd never see anywhere else..... Just became the last character to join Smash a Nintendo made video game with most ambitious video game character lineup of all time. It just makes sense. All of these characters coming together in a single game you'll probably never see again for a long time. From the Mushroom Kingdom to Hyrule to Minecraft to Green Hill Zone. All of these characters in one universe like how all of the Disney characters from kingdom hearts share a universe in their games. It's a celebration of collaboration.
Sora is gonna break the damn internet
@@speedphoenix9005 not really. It's big because Sora has been wanted in smash since melee days. Basically close to 20 years, I mean sure him being Disney is all cool and all but we know how much of a monopoly mongrel Disney is that sakurai went through all the hoops to get this character FOR US. That's how powerful this was. He went out with a bang on this
😭😭 beautiful!
@@EpicTacoSenpai well yeah he's big because his games are collaboration over another collaboration that's wild
Insanse how Sora knows almost every Disney/Pixar universe and now he's able to travel to Spiral Mountain, Mementos, Mishima Dojo, Suzaku Castle, PAC-LAND, Dr. Willy's Castle, Dracula's castle, WarioWare, Inc. and The KOF stadium... Like shit this guy's is god-like he traveled not only on gaming multiverses also on cinema multiverses the amount of characters he has seen is insane...
I’d imagine many people’s eyes were not left simple nor clean after this reveal.
Nice one haha
Most ppl needed a Sanctuary for this reveal. Ans haters can Fave their Fears! Sora got the last spot! :D
Mine weren't, I'll tell you that much. (Tears of joy btw, sorry if that wasn't clear)
@@draconix2702 I cried tears of joy too
Nor were their pants.
Mickey: They’re waiting for you, Sora.
Sora: Where are they?
Mickey: Behind that door. You can use your Keyblade to unlock it.
Sora: What about you Mickey?
Mickey: I’ll stay behind. Just have fun ok?
Mickey: “while I count my green pieces of paper”
"They're waiting for you Sora, in the test chamberrrr"
Aw that's sweet!
Mickey has to do his king duties
Not going to lie that actually made me tear up a little bit.

Is funny if you watch the ending of KH III and then the trailer revela
Sora just went to Smash, he is okay and always be
But don't forget about yozora battle as well to decide sora fate
Thanks to Sora being in smash we now know where Cloud and Sephiroth went after KH II.
It's more funny if you watch the end of KH2 then smash reveal. Because at end of KH2 he receives a letter like a smash invitation and says he has to go without explaining
Yeah and somehow deaged
His heart is in TWEWY and his body is in smash
I wanted Eggman, but honestly Sora deserved it more
And I can’t imagine a better trailer for the last character being added then the one we got, to the end of a generation and further beyond
Welcome to the game Sora!!!
Eggman nigga really
I’m just happy it wasn’t a sonic character or Pokémon character.
@@Davidson640 Eggman is probably the most iconic video game villain left at this point, it’s not a surprise that a lot of people would want him to be playable.
@@kritless yeah. The Sonic franchise is a little underrepresented in fighters anyway, having a second wouldn’t hurt a thing
To me it feels like the end of the world and I feel there going to be more non game characters are going to be coming to smash
god this just makes me grin ear to ear listening to this. Like damn Sakurai, that madman actually did it. I ain't even a KH fan but this is such an amazing way to close Smash out.
i feel the exact same way, it's insane to see happen!
I don’t care this music is not in Smash game, it’s still a perfect tone to announce Sora as the final DLC fighter. It’s truly a Disney magical experience.
And Sora & Mario’s handshake was just wholesome.😭
Yes!!
Nope, it is. You just have to have save data for a different game to access it.
@@ZTimeGamingYT No that’s dearly beloved
You know, I’m not a fan of the series or character by any means, but hearing this in the trailer as he shook Mario’s hand almost made me tear up because I immediately thought of how happy he made people and how many people this game has brought together. Truly the greatest achievement in video game history.
It's kind of poetic that Mario was featured so prominently in that trailer. Kingdom Hearts was inspired by Mario 64.
Makes me wonder if they knew that and did that as a nod.
The first fighter welcoming the last fighter
As if to say congratulations for coming this far.
Perhaps we ought to thank Mario for the existence of Sora in the first place.
Not my original comment on it but seen on another video. But its also symbolic that Mario was the one to reach into the fire as it basically represents Nintendo going into the hellfire of licensing and legal agreements with Disney and Square Enix to put him in the game.
Mario kinda freed Sora in that trailer, if you think about it lol
The cooler thing about Sora's reveal, is he wasn't invited with an invitation like with all DLC fighters, Mario summoned him by choice to come join Smash. And if you take that into thought, Sora truly is as special fighter, as it was Mario who chosen him to join the roster.
I realized one of the most epic moments of that reveal trailer was for a brief second Mario was wielding a flaming Keyblade
Mario survived Union X
Mario is now a King and a Keyblade Master.
The fact that Nintendo has their own park at Universal Studios and now has Disney's Sora in Smash show's that Nintendo is the true champions of the company empire
Nintendo is just the video game version of Disney if they didn't constantly buy other companies
@@MattSayYay Lol, yeah. That's what so crazy about this.
@@MattSayYay they only buy game developers
*Square's Sora. disney owns kh but nomura owns it more. disney consults nomura on using the ip, without his say they cant do shit. disney did not have to approve this lmao
@@Beefaroni_Bert actually, former Disney VP of Production, John Vignocchi has stated that Disney 100% owns Sora. Games are developed by SE, yes, but it really is Disney who’s pulling the strings.
The crazy part, you know that Nomura will find a way to make this canon even if it doesn’t have a payoff for another 20 years.
Nintendo, Disney, Sakurai and nomura they make it canon, it happens after the remind events Sora's soul was called for people who needs him to help and he went through, and remember they are going to another universe
Would be the biggest payoff ever
During every reveal, I heard thousands of cheers and screams from everyone who wanted that character. But hear? All I heard were tears. Tear of joy wept by the people who genuinely wanted this character in the game and finally had their wish become a reality.
If Nintendo NYC had been open for the reveal...... there would have been singing......
Lol when Square doesn’t give Nintendo the rights to use the most popular song of the franchise
Who cares! We got Sora!
That's good enough for me..
Technically it's not up to Square. Hikaru Utada is the writer of that song.
@@kylelacey1212 You mean it's not up to Disney, as they own the character, the series, and pretty much everything else for Kingdom Hearts that wasn't already created by Square Enix.
But you are right, the song is owned by Hikaru Utada, thus not in the game.
There's a lot of compromise needed here. We don't even get any non-human characters as Spirits.
@@arootube But like. Straight up pre-existing Disney stuff
This history making moment also marked the end of an era. Now that Sora is in Smash, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will go down in history as one of the BIGGEST gaming cross-overs ever made. #ThankYouSakurai
Not one of. It's THE biggest gaming cross-over.
@@MLthegreat Yup yup. There will NEVER, EVER be another massive gaming cross-over like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
@@MLthegreat Biggest gaming crossover in terms of games. The biggest crossover video game is a Super Robot Wars game though.
@@amosdeguzman9980 You meant the Project X-Zone series.

Link, Mewtwo & Incineroar: What is. . . that light?
Cloud: He did it, Sora. . .
Sephiroth: That SOB finally did it!
From now on, Mario taking the keyblade to open the keyhole for Sora, and them shaking hands are the most iconic moments in gaming history.
This was something absolutely impossible, something beyond our possibilities, but Sakurai and his team, and Iwata, did it.
They did it for real.
The song was _key_ to represent what this event means, and how it ends.
Thank you so much Sakurai, and Iwata. Thank you for everything.
Not gonna lie my mom started crying when she heard this. She loves the kingdom hearts game

Same
Same thoughts here, but I'm in tears now. What a trailer, yeah?
I know that was a surprise for me even tho I haven’t played any of the games the feeling of the music is just so good to listen in the trailer plus I knew from the start that sora will be in smash
I’m a KH fan and can confirm I cried
i just love how this sounds exactly like something you'd hear in the disney parks
It sounds like something you hear in a 90s Disney animated film, back when Disney still had soul.
But WAY more epic and grander in a action based setting!
@@chrisphelps4552 No Disney STILL has “soul” from the animators and creators working there. Disney still has magic and love and they can always make more Disney beautiful magic and films in the future but a lot of the times they are a tyrant when it comes to making money.
@@chrisphelps4552 pretty much everything before 2006 was better.
When I heard this I seriously got chills it just fits so well for the final smash character to be revealed with this song playing. Congratulations sakarai you’ve really done the impossible here
Sephiroth’s trailer got everyone screaming like monkeys and Sora got everyone crying oceans of tears now THATS how to end a year and a game like smash bros thank U Sakurai
The way Sora says, "Let's go !" is so reassuring. Like he is the saving grace LOL
Listening to Simple and Clean in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate...Now this, is the peak of gaming.
I should point out that Sonic had more interaction with Disney through Wreck it Ralph prior to Mario shaking Sora's hand.
Not trying to cause dispute on purpose, I'm just saying.
I forgot sonic was in wreck it, great way to bring us back, and yeah I guess sonic really has had more interaction huh?
Yeah Disney ignores us fans pretty bad. Which is weird cause my friend went in Disneyland as Sora once and was getting called out all day. It’s popular but Disney just refuses to acknowledge we exist and are ashamed to the point they don’t even like KH to exist in the greater gaming community it feels like
@@iaxacs3801 That may actually explain why Sora got in. Yet didn't Disneyland promote kingdom hearts with having Sora meet and greet people? Or am I mistaken?
@@calummacritchie7840 They did for like a day, they pretended to care and then after KH3 released and they got their money they immediately shoved us back into the storage warehouse, not even Disney Tokyo has anything KH. It's like that piece of shit mom who neglected you all your life but will come for drug money on your birthday.
Bowser was in Wreck it Ralph though?
I know we got 9 tracks but i didn’t see hikari in it even though they made this 😭 this reveal trailer song sent chills down my spine ♡
Yea I don’t think this will be in the game. I think this cost a lot of money to have once in the online event.
No it is in the game. But only if you had melody of memories on switch . It will unlock the song as a battle song for you
I hope using the demo works because dearly Beloved Swing version sounds so good.
@@tones2480 That's Dearly Beloved Swing Remix. The one from the trailer (and in this video) is Hikari, an orchestral version of "Simple and Clean" by Utada Hikari
It's just like "Life Will Change" was in Joker's reveal trailer, but not in the game. One time thing
@@gamerloser1247 So if you use the demo version of the kingdom hearts game you get this song in ultimate?
The lesson that Sakurai taught us this week is that, a dream is a wish your heart makes. Whether you’re awake or fast asleep. And that no matter how your heart may be grieving, IF you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will in fact come true.
So thank you Sakurai.
kingdom hearts fans are starting to sound like everything they say is written by nomura
@@choodle9729 sweet, honestly I could see Sora saying something like that now that you say it😂
@@choodle9729 No… Nomura writes Deus Ex Machina cliches just so that good always wins by saying “Your heart is everything”.
If we put logic aside… Sora’s inclusion was just perfect because its proof that anything is possible if you just believe and hold true to your dreams.
Crazy to think it's been more than a year since this happened. Unfortunately, ultimate ended during one of the most stressful points in my life, so looking back at these times, they feel rather bittersweet
What u went to college or smth?
This brings me back of those Super Smash Flash 2 Memories
Most of that roster made it on Smash Ultimate.
@@michaelaburns734 aside from the anime characters
@@brianv9242 That's what I mean by most.

The impossible has been achieved.
A Disney property in Smash, after six long years. A true legal nightmare, finally defeated and turned into a dream.
Welcome, Sora. Enjoy your stay.
I'm not crying....😢
Just so excited. This is incredible. Beautiful song!
Well I've been crying on and off all day from this.
... which is only in the trailer, and NOT in the game.
If I had to describe this theme in one word, it would be:
Magical.
Indeed.
Definitely not a misadventure. ;)
If I had to explain it in three words, it would be:
Simple and Clean
Sora coming into Smash didn’t just represent Kingdom Hearts…
It brought justice to Kingdom Hearts
This song is just perfect for the reveal. It captures the magic that Sora has, as well as the magic within that moment of the reveal. It also has a sense of a sombre, yet celebratory finale. The finale of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate
This music was perfect. Not just as the last fighter of smash bros, but the end of smash bros as a whole
It probably isn't though.
Prob will be a long time before we get another smash but I just have a feeling smash will never leave us
@@amosdeguzman9980 the music was perfect
@@JasonAndroid I hope so.
I want this game to be "the" Smash game for a long time, before attention is diverted towards a sequel.
It looks like our journey has finally come to an end
Just like Super Mario 64 inspired Nomura to create Kingdom Hearts, Mario is the one who brings Sora in by forging the Keyblade and passing it to him. That was spectacular symbolism.
Thank you very much Master Sakurai.
to think it all started with a short conversation in an elevator.
Wait, really?! This is even better now.
@@kassandrax2322 YEAH, even more so, Disney was the key to Nintendo's success GLOBALLY.
I never had much of a care for competitive Smash. But after seeing this character, a character who I’ve grown up with be introduced as the final for the roster, I want to become one of, if not, the greatest Sora player in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It’s time I finally commit to something that I truly love.
While late, I hope that journey let to some fun places. Sora isn't my number 1 pick, but easily in top 3.
SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOURE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT
This was the most beautiful and magical trailer for Smash I’ve ever witnessed, and I could not be more happier for Kingdom Hearts fans across the globe.
Nintendo and Disney bringing us magical stuff like this. It honestly made my day. Thank you Sakurai. The amount of people that just had a dream come true with this like dang. Snake, Sonic, Mario, Pac-Man, Sora, Joker. I don't think anyone ever thought Smash would get this big.
The key this song is in just tugs at your heartstrings given the sheer gravity and symbolism of Sora's addition. And that's coming from me; someone with no emotional stake in KH at all. This was the perfect choice. And the fact that his mere inclusion today was enough to drive fans to tears across the globe is enough to make me cry too.
It really does, everyone involved in dragging this kid into the absolute nonsense that is Smash knew what a miracle bringing him on was, and the way Simple and Clean is orchestrated here just... god its so heavy, this is the end... but it'll never end... a game made of impossibilities
Time and again we've thought this and that was impossible for the series, from Sonic, to Snake, to Cloud, to Snake a second time, to half the fuckin DLC, to this boy, Disney's boy
The "key"
Never gonna get tired of saying this but...
History was made that day, an the best Part is that we were here to witness it...
This is one of the most iconic moments in gaming history. They made Sora’s reveal look to be the return of Jesus or something. xD
thats how i was thinking of his reveal lol
About the only thing I can say, as well as countless other fans
#ThankYouSakurai
Edit: I actually played a Kingdom Hearts song back when I was in middle school band. I couldn't remember what song it was, so I asked my band teacher from middle school a few days ago, to see if she knew the name of the Kingdom Hearts song we played. I found the recording in which we played this unknown Kingdom Hearts song, and it turned out to be this exact song. Obviously because of that, this song means so much more to me than this song just being an epic moment in gaming.
Same. I played this very song during Marching Band my junior year in high school as part of our Video Games Live selections.
I still feel like I’m clicking on one of the fake fan-made Smash music entries looking at Sora’s render. I have to remind myself that this did finally happen.
Glad I’m not the only one that thinks this
Now we can have sora fight sans
And Sonic, and Samus, and Steve, and Simon, and Snake, and Shulk.
if we are counting miis then doomguy to
@@nirvool_6968 And Shantae, Geno, Lloyd, Black Knight, Cuphead... the list of mii costumes goes on...
the mario movie made me question the timeline we're living in but sora being in smash changed that
We gotta have him fight Sephiroth first since it didn't happen in KH3.
Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end,
and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds,
but they share the same sky-
one sky, one destiny.
When I saw that letter in the bottle after I finally killed Xemnas, I was shocked and surprised. ❤❤❤
If Iwata was still here with us, he would've loved this.
Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata.
May God accept you into his kingdom.
I have a small theory: Sora's release was planned from the very start.
In realm of light it deals with the fighters being overtaken with darkness, sealing away the darkness in their bodies, and making light and dark equal. Which is the plot of Kingdom hearts
Sora was the actual winner of the ballot. Bayonetta was just the one they could do.

It's also the opening to the franchise as a whole, when you sit at the title screen for the original game an alternate intro plays with this music playing over it :D

@@TheRebornExpert yes! Theres also a lines of words that are written out prior to the song.

@@zephyrias Nice nice! Keep on with the fun facts, because I'm learning something new everyday!
Yes this is the song that started it all, play the original and witness this amazing song everything about it is perfection.
This song literally gives me goosebumps. It's so magical. I know the games can be pretty wacky sometimes and I often forget just how much I really liked Kingdom Hearts, but listening to this song reminds me just how good it was. Sora is by far the best final character we could have gotten and I'm happy he got in over my choice (Crash Bandicoot), and I look forward to buying these games on Switch.
Such a great song. It's good Instrumental. I listen to it, rarely. I played one Kingdom hearts, wasn't my style, but I'm fairly certain my sister (God rest her soul) would have loved it. She was very much into Disney. She literally made Disney as part of her lifestyle. She played some video games, but just as a side hobby. Whenever she had time to kill.
Kingdom Hearts is a great series, highly recommend it even though the story is not so simple
I wasn't ready.
It's not the nostalgia bomb. It was the reminder this was the first game I beat after my dad passed away before I transitioned to a 360 (before Halo Reach).
The finale was so fucking hard for me because he and I would grind on Kingdom Hearts for gear and killing the big baddies.
I still tear up a little bit seeing Sora come to this.
20 years of being known as a complicated-plot-weeb game with a strangely silent fan base now gets its biggest win that I'm happy to be apart of.
Hats off to SquareEnix and Nintendo. I think it's time I bought a switch.
This character, this event, this whole spectacle means so much for so many different people. There's not anything more magical than this. Going through comments, seeing just what it means to each person who found this video. I still can't believe it's real.
I am still in disbelief almost 6 hours later
The "oh, f*ck, I have to buy a Switch now" theme.
I like to imagine that when Mario saw the Key Blade on fire for the first time, he knew what was going on and only he could "invite" Sora to Smash... but it would be extremely risky to without getting burnt to a crisp.
That risk scenario is a metaphor of how Nintendo invited Disney and Square Enix to get Sora in Smash; *risky*
But they did it! #ThankYouSakurai
Mario handles fire easily, it wouldnt be risky for him at all, but still great :D
Mickey: I think now is a good time, Sora… here
Sora: a letter?
Mickey: read it
Sora: ok… **proceeds to read letter** WHAT?! king, a.. are you serious?? Can I really?!

I keep rewatching the trailer over and over!!!!
Get so nostalgic remembering the intro cutscene to KH1 where this plays and it says “Thinking of you, wherever you are.” Such a great moment in Smash/KH history! 🥰
Sora welcome to smash
Hope he makes a lot of friends 🥺🥲
Chills. Every time. Without fail. Good shit, Sakurai.
3:07-3:12 as it showed Sora being on multiple stages it gave me goosebumps, like the sheer power of having him in this game is unimaginable, something so significant not a single soul could comprehend
And I’m not saying this because I wanted Sora from the beginning nah I wanted Steve and Doomslayer, but damn isn’t this just history in the making?
Avengers Endgame has nothin against this.
Smash truly is
the most ambitious crossover ever.
This trailer made me realize how much I’m gonna miss the Switch marketing years from now. Nintendo definitely nailed it with this console
It was Sakuari's final gift to us...... *and oh what a beautiful gift it is.....*
Perfect choice of music for the final smash trailer, its so emotional and epic, I dont even play KH yet I could still feel the greatness of these collaboration (and I would say hearing such beautiful piece as my first exposure to KH is actually great, first time listening it and its already stuck in my head definitely going to check out more of KH soundtrack), that final trailer with game footage was beyond perfection.
If you want to hear another song like this from kh, I recommend looking up "Passion Orchestrated Version". It's also fantastic!
the entire KH franchise OST is amazing honestly I think it may be the best video game music ever.
1Million views. Talk about a Disney Miracle...
Yo, sick, I got a heart.
I’ve been a Kingdom Hearts fan for almost a decade, and a Smash fan for even longer. This is a dream come true! My favorite game is in my other favorite game! I am so freaking happy!
This truly is the Avengers Endgame of Video Games. The biggest and most emotional crossover in history
I still really like the implication that Sora was fhe final light that made smash torch burn again after falling into darkness, what a perfect finish
Sora to Waluigi: “Stay back where you belong, as an Assist Trophy”
Sora when using his Final Smash on Sephiroth: “Stay back where you belong, behind these doors”
Sakurai clearing Landmines of legal rights....just to make dreams come true.
Thank you Sakurai,truely
Dude, he walked right through those landmines, and didn't feel a thing. he's a hero. :)
This is one of the most important moments in video gaming history. Congratulations, everyone, both you and I experienced a historical moment first hand...
At last, Sora is no longer part of our fandom creation for Smash Flash, he's officially part of Smash Bros. Series!!!
This took me by suprise. Im not even a huge Kingdom Hearts fan, but damn does this hit hard.
Im happy for all the KH fans out there. I know how much this means to you all. What a fantastic way to end Smash Ultimate off. Thanks alot Sakurai, for making our dreams come true:)
I am not afraid to say that this song made one of my days brighter than ever.
I was depressed as hell. And listening to this song made me wanna draw.. Sora.
So thank you Sora. Thank you for uploading this video. Thank you all for making my life tremendously better. ♥
Not even kidding here but when this song played in the trailer, it felt so damn magical and so fitting for the last fighter. Seeing the logo for the last time and Sakurai saying goodby brought a tear to my eye. #thankyousakurai
Man it really has been a year since I was freaking out early in the morning. I didn’t look at any leaks and I was a Smash fan who was open minded of who’s getting in. I was excited when Banjo, Steve, Sephiroth, Pyra/Mythra were announced but Sora’s reveal blew me away because someone I wanted to be in Smash for a long time finally got in. After the Smash reveal, this theme hits so much harder that I get emotional just for listening to it
