World cards are a type of card in Chain of Memories and its remake Re:Chain of Memories, as well as Kingdom Hearts Coded. They are created from the memories of people and can be used to transform floors from Castle Oblivion into the relevant world, although traversing through the floor still requires map cards. Almost all world cards are made by members of Organization XIII, although DiZ and Naminé were also able to make cards for Riku, and one appeared on its own to King Mickey. Naminé could also use her powers to turn a world card into another object, as she did with the card for Destiny Islands that was in Riku Replica's possession as a charm.
In coded and Re:coded, Castle Oblivion is remade in data form, and the world cards are still present, along with the Ending Cards.
History[]
Chain of Memories[]
The first card introduced in Chain of Memories was the Traverse Town world card, produced by a hooded Marluxia who sampled Sora's memories to make it. After completing and exiting Traverse Town they met with Marluxia again, until they were interrupted by Axel, with the intent to test them. Axel granted them several more world cards (Wonderland, Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah, Monstro, and Halloween Town) upon his defeat, as did Larxene (100 Acre Wood, Atlantica, Neverland, Hollow Bastion) whom they encountered on the sixth floor.
Meanwhile, the organization members planning a coup used Naminé's ability to turn the Destiny Islands world card into a fake charm for Riku Replica. Vexen later samples the memories of Roxas through Sora's heart to create a world card for Twilight Town. The last world card Sora acquired is Destiny Islands, after the final defeat of Riku Replica, when his fake charm returned to normal when in Sora's possession. Lastly, he entered the 13th floor of Castle Oblivion without a world card
During these events Riku is taken to Castle Oblivion through a Hollow Bastion world card thanks to DiZ, who pretended to be Ansem. DiZ, disguised as Ansem, taught him about his own card mechanics, before he gave him another set of world cards. DiZ later gave him another set in the entrance hall of the seventh basement floor. Riku later acquired additional world cards from King Mickey and Zexion, for Twilight Town and Destiny Islands, respectively. DiZ also gave him the Castle Oblivion card for the final basement floor, which Sora did not require on his own final floor.
Coded[]
World cards[]
Note that this does not include event rewards for defeating bosses in the halls between floors. The listed attack card also relates to the core available attack card in that world, although cards like Kingdom Key are available everywhere, as well as some acquired from bounty rooms, some cards can only be found in a single world outside of Moogle Shops.
100 Acre Wood is not available in Reverse/Rebirth. It also does not use map cards to progress, but instead involves a series of minigames and conversations with the inhabitants. Clearing a minigame and talking to the local resident results in a new card or sleight.

Chest rewards per world[]
Chests contents sometimes vary between the original and the remake, as well as the three versions of the remake (Japanese, English, HD version). The remake also adds an additional chest in the Room of Rewards, as such the 'second chest' column is remake-only.

Behind the scenes[]
During cutscenes in Re:Chain of Memories, the Destiny Islands card shows the Kingdom Hearts II design rather than the one used in Chain of Memories, however, once you actually receive the card, the design from the original game is shown to be on the card instead. The reason for this is unknown.
