Olympus Coliseum is a world that appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts coded, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts X, and their subsequent remasters. It is based on the 1997 Disney animated film Hercules.

Olympus Coliseum is one of the most frequently appearing worlds of the Kingdom Hearts series. It consists of both the Coliseum and the Underworld underneath it and is plagued by the antics of the Underworld's ruler, Hades. The world often serves as home to a battle arena mini-game that the player can compete in for rewards and leveling experience.

Setting

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

Sora, Donald, and Goofy enter a recreation of Olympus Coliseum based on Sora's memories of the world. Every character within is also a recreation of the the character. Sora, Donald, and Goofy discover that a competition, The Games, have been set up by Phil and they decide to join in. Shortly after it is revealed that Hades is planning to use Cloud to enter the game and kill Hercules in exchange for restoring his lost memories. In the first act Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Cloud all meet Phil and Hercules, they sign up to compete, and The Games begin. In the second act Sora, Donald, and Goofy catch up to Cloud who says he is waiting for Hercules so that he can take him out. Sora decides to fight Cloud, but he disapears before Sora can finish him off. In the third act Sora catches up to Cloud to find him mid-battle with Hercules, both worn and tired. Suddenly Hades appears, stating that because Cloud failed to take out Sora and Hercules, the deal is off and Hades will take care of the tired Hercules himself. Sora steps in to protect Hercules and defeats Sora. Before Cloud leaves, Sora speaks to Cloud, telling him that even something small may help restore his memories as the truly important memories never disapear completely.
