Kingdom Hearts 2's Underdrome didn't have as many rewards as Kingdom Hearts 1, but players could still compete to earn equipment, materials, and weapons. Beyond this new setting, the Underdrome introduced eight cups, with each having new features like restrictions to party members and drive forms, time limits, and even darkening the arena. In Kingdom Hearts 2, the Olympus Coliseum mode is hosted in the Hades' Underdrome as opposed to the Coliseum.

The Coliseum also included a notorious boss battle against Sephiroth, which was a pleasant surprise and challenge for even the most experienced players. Players would also fight against special bosses like Hades, Hercules, and Final Fantasy characters such as Cloud, Squall, and Yuffie.

In Kingdom Hearts 1, the Olympus Coliseum didn't have much to explore compared to other worlds, but it hosted four tournament cups where Sora, Donald, and Goofy fight groups of Heartless for various rewards including equipment, new abilities, and Keyblades. RELATED: Kingdom Hearts 4's New World Could Reignite the Rivalry from Dream Drop Distance The Olympus Coliseum in Previous Kingdom Hearts Games Most of the worlds in Kingdom Hearts 3 were one-and-done adventures, so Kingdom Hearts 4 should feature more engaging side content like the Olympus Coliseum. Although exploring the world of Greek mythology was an enthralling experience, the world could have used something else to entice players to revisit. The Olympus Coliseum was an engaging side mode present in previous Kingdom Hearts games, but Kingdom Hearts 3 opted out of including the tournament in favor of expansive exploration around Mount Olympus, the city of Thebes, and the Realm of the Gods. With the return of Olympus, one feature should also come back that Kingdom Hearts 3 dropped.

Olympus has been one of the most recurring locations in the Kingdom Hearts series, and it seems players will be exploring the Hercules-themed world once more in Kingdom Hearts 4. Donald and Goofy were confirmed to be searching through past worlds looking for clues to find Sora, specifically investigating Olympus and asking Hades for help. There hasn't been much revealed regarding Kingdom Hearts 4 since its first trailer in April 2022, but one thing is for certain: Disney worlds should make a return.
