Mario + Disney = Mushroom Kingdom Hearts for the Wii
A copy of EGM hit my mailbox today and the following caught my eye. Is it an April Fool’s Day joke? You decide.

It looks like it’s being developed by Square Enix and is slated for 2008. For the full scoop, go buy yourself a copy of the April EGM and support their well-done scoop, unless of course it’s a joke.
Update: This has been confirmed to be an April Fool’s Day joke.

I wish it was true, but I know it’s BS.
[…] April EGM is yet to hit stores, however someone at obviousdiversion.com has already received their copy in advance. Adorning one of its glossy pages is either a very well-done mockup of an extremely tantalizing concept, or confirmation of what will certainly be the most anticipated game on the Nintendo Wii. The title in question is “Mushroom Kingdom Hearts,” a Nintendo Wii sequel that replaces the wide-grinned Disney companions of the previous entries of the series with famous Nintendo characters. However, given that the first of April is indeed April Fools Day, and EGM is renowned for its April issue “jokes,” (see: blatant hurtful lies) I would take this with just a smidgen of salt. Actually, take it with an entire bucket of salt. Source […]
If this was true… EVERYONE WOULD DIE OF EXTREME CANCER AND AIDS D:
[…] – The April issue of EGM lands on newstands March 13, but the folks at Obvious Diversion have already sampled the goods. The big “news” is Mushroom Kingdom Hearts for Wii. […]
It’s an April fools joke. It says it features 41 nintendo characters, 4=April 1=April fools day.
My friend told me about it and I thought it was real……. until I saw the thing about 41 characters. Hmmmmmm….. 4/1 is april fool’s day. i am not sure to beleive or not to beleive, but when ever I try to tell that it is a fake to my friend, he just says, “OH no!! I saw a picture 0f it”. I just can’t decide…..
Well, I won’t say I think it’s true, but I won’t say I think it’s false. True, EGM is known for their hijinks but I really think it could go either way. I figured out a list of 41 possible characters that could be seen in a Kingdom Hearts environment, and those little shadow beasts on Wii’s new Zelda game look curiously enough like heartless that maybe Square was inspired. It’d sure be a hoot to see but I guess we won’t know for sure until EGM’s May issue, or until next year.
Man I hope it’s a prank! Just think if that evil monstrosity was to become real that would mean out beloved Kingdom Hearts would be nothing but a cheap sell out! Don’t get me wrong I love Mario, but he just doesn’t belong with FF characters. Though one good would come of it…just think Sora in Super Smash Bros. Or even Cloud:)
if this is true i would shit my pants because mario kicks ass and so does kingdom hearts just the thought of it is orgazmic….thats right i went there im a huge nintendo and kingdom hearts fan so a game like this would be a wet dream…lol thats going alittle to far but it would be awesome…
If this were to become true, I’d be the hapiest lad around. xD
i went to the website and i cant find anything on it so if u can post a link so i can click on i would be gratefull…i thought i was real till i realized it was the april issue and the jokes are usually pretty easy to find…hey even if its not real maybe square enix will see it and get ideas..
at first i tought..yeah !! but later when i saw the picture and read the news, i knew it was fake
i started jumping up and down but i relized it was april on the magazine it also said 41 characters then i knew 4/1
One way to easily find out if this is a prank, is to find the reference art for Sora and Micky.
i hope itz not a prank it just can’t be!
i did not just shit in my pants out of happyness!!!
xD haha
I hate EGM so much right now
I wish it was true, but it’s probably not…If it was, I would need to get a Wii…
People at Kingdom Hearts are still working on the redux of CoM and KH II, plus I know I’ve seen that picture of Sora before.
Also, the picure is a hint of fakeness. Sora and King Mickey look flat, while Mario looks more defined and three dimensional.
Kudos to whoever made and/or edited that Mario picture though. Looks really cool.
Is there anything about the “Kingdom Hearts” movie? If so, E-mail me please.

this is bullshit everyone knows that mario couldn’t touch a keyblade
Meman, stfu.
No that that’s out of the way, I hav mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I would love nothign mor ethan to run around as Sora with either Samus, Link, Fox, or Mario at my side (plus, I’ve already thought up of MANY in-game story possibilities-see the end of my post), but the mor eand more I look into it, it seems to be getting faker by the moment. I think that’s a VERY bad move on EGM’s part; enough people were pissed of about the “Sonic in SSBM” thing, but when you lie about something like Kingdom hearts…you’re gonna be in for a WORLD of hurt. Then again, SE might pick up on this…
Oh, and as for my ideas:
In Metroid: DARk. SAMUS. HEARTLESS. If SE were to make MKH and miss this, I’d have to go to EVERY SE-related forum and call them morons. Also, some Sora/Samus combos would be sweet. Examples: Sora and Samus jump backwards towards each other, put their feet against each other, andpush off in screw attacks in opposite directions. Also, Samus could grab Sora, pull him into the Morph ball, and unleash a MASSIVELY powerful bomb attack.
In Zelda: The Twilight realm and Heartless would just go hand-in-hand, no doubt. Also, it’d be interesting to see what Sora’s suit would look like
In Starfox: How’s about eithe rone heartless-or a big cluste rof them-in the form of a starship? Opportunity for the biggest Heartless EVER right there. Sora’s suit could take on the green, tan, etc. pattern of the Starfox Team’s, a Krystal heartless could form from the bad emotions between her and Fox due to their break-up before Starfox Command. Also, Arwing and Wolfen keyblades would kick ass.
That’s all I’ve got down for now, so if anyone from Square reads this, consider some of my ideas for Mushroom kingdom hearts. And if you guys AREN’T making MKH…then you better get crackin’, lol.
nice, that just kicks ass but it seems like u had some free time lol!! jk i like the ideas…but anyways this game beter be real lol!!! it would be the ultimate game to bring the wii to the top of all systems(like it already isnt lol!!!)
MARIO. CAN. NOT. TOUCH. A. FUCKING. KEYBLADE. GET. IT. THROUGH. YOUR THICK SKULLS AND FOR THE RECORD MARIO’S HAT IS MISSING ITS M
And Mickey is missing his red shorts and shiny yellow buttons. Your point?
there is no reason he cant hold a keyblade thats basiclly saying kairi cant hold one 2 but she still does
I think that this game is an awesome idea but is still think it is a fake.And another thing mario is alredy connected to FF charecters through Super Mario RPG.
It may be a fake, It may not be a fake, but if you ask me , I think it would be the fucking coolest game of all time. If it isn’t, they should make it Multi system since Kingdom Hearts is originaly for PS2…..
yeah!! it would be cool but no mario is never going to be on another system…he just cant that would ruin the whole idea of nintendo hes an original…if he swithcs systems then no one will buy the nintendo systems…cause then they can get it on another one….why do u think i dont have an xbox or 360…i can get all the games for another system..
I would just like to say all the people that are doubting MKH 1. I hope it does happen 2. If it does happen im gonna get a nice size tatoo of Mickey Sora and Mario either on my left arm or my back and 3. the people that are douting MKH are the people that didnt get a nintendo Wii and there just jelous because it would be a nintendo wii exclusive game and i bet more than half of the people that are douting and discouraging MKH is cause of the fact that they do not own a Nintendo Wii. But I do!! So me personally I hope that SE Disney and Nintendo team up and make this game shit even if they dont Im still thinking about getting that tatoo done.Screw all you haters MKH would be the shit oh and one more thing all of you that say mario cant touch a keyblade he could probably kick all of your asses with it and you all are just jelous!!!!!
now thats what im talking about u tell them….mario + keyblade = PWN……..I 2 have a nintendo Wii thats why those ass holes that think it should be multi plateform should shut the fuck up and go get a Wii…because if they do make the game thats what there going to need if they wan to play it lol!!! sucks to be the person with out one!!!!!
So much…bad grammar…O.o…And console fan boys!
Calm down people, it’s just a possible game. I do not own a Wii, yet I would still like to see this game, if it’s real.
And G-Zup…Getting a tattoo with Mickey, Sora, and Mario there? Yah, that’s really intelligent…
So please, if you’re going to comment, don’t be a console fan boy and use better grammar…A bunch of exclamation marks just makes me want to ridicule you.
why!!!? cause nintendo PWNS ALL THEM BITCH’S oh by the way heres some more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fucking noob
…It’s times like this I fear for the human race.
It’s a GAME people. Just a game, may not even be real. No need to get all postal over it.
i felt like starting something…I dont know why but ive been in that kind of mood to start a fight just for fun!!! cause im a ass lOL!!
It’s Hilariously funny listening to you bicker and fight. It would also be funny seeing Mario wup the shit out of all of you fan boys. Mario+keyblade would be tight, but if KH was to go to the Wii, It would ruin the whole piont of KH, and if Mario came to another console, it would ruin the entire piont of Mario, It would be a nice idea, but it just cant be made , and if they do create and release it, please shoot me.Oh yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noobs!!!!!!!!………!
1OL, what the shit is that, you call yourself a gamer you fucknut, it’s LOL, no more, no less. and you call yourself the ass, just wait until I get started…….
thats what u mom said las night!!!…….and it it would ruin kingdom hearts to be on another system then i guess there fucked. cause they already did..for those who can afford one its called a gameboy sp…..ya ever hear of one? aparently not cause they made kingdom hearts: Chain of memories and that is considered changing systems dumbass…it even followed the story line….so if this does come out it might be about what happened between 2 and 3 like chain of memeries was inbetween 1 and 2….
True, but they also made it for PS2 over in japan, and whats with the sour attitude fucknut, “thats what u mom said las night?” 1. you don’t speak right, and 2. that lame ass joke has been around for years, find some new material. how old r u, and whats your real name, for now i’ll just call u fucknut, fucknut…….
They should just continue the gameboy advance (or for the DS since were in a new era,and just for the record, KHCOM was for the Gameboy advance, Gameboy SP was a different version of the GBA stupid)with the KH in between the next games, I always thought that was pretty unique…
no shit!! the sp was just an upgrrade lol!! u got some serious issues man!!..Y would i give out my name and age so u can find me and rape me u fucking sick basturd……no shit thats been around for awhile god…retards these days…i guess it was to late to abort. it would be useless to put it on the ds i like nintendo but they could have did better with those graphics on that thing……..oh!! and another thing just cause im not a fast typer and i made a mistake doesnt mean i cant talk right ….u where a prom night dumpster baby werent u….lol!! and for the attitude u started with us frist so if it wasnt me someone else would have. and u only wont it to continue on the DS is cause u were probably on of the people who couldnt get a Wii..its called go look ing for one there closer then u think lol!!
To be honest, you shouldn’t make very many spelling mistakes on a computer, espicially in an enviroment like this. You can take an hour to type out a sentence, and use a Word Document program and Copy/Paste to help. A misspelled word here and there is perfectly fine, happens to the best of us, but when it’s a habit, and on a computer nonetheless, then it’s a bad thing.
And also on Console Fan Boys…It’s just a game system. I would indeed like to purchase a Wii, for not just this possible game, but others as well (See, Sonic). I’d also like an X-Box 360. I just don’t have the money for them right now. I refuse to to save up for a PS3 on the grounds the people at Sony were price gouging, plus the systems are inneffective. They heat up easily.
Again people, this is just a GAME. A game that will be forgotten in the annuls of time, a simple way to past the hours. A wise man once said, “Men talk of killing time, while time is slowly killing them.”
Also, it’s Square Enix/Disney that produces Kingdom Hearts. They’re both indepent contractors, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft do not have a monoply on the market. Sony probably just offered them more money to make it on PS2, and if I remember correctly, Chain of Memories was produced for the GameBoy Advance before the PSP. The GBA was pretty much the only handheld system around until the PSP, minus it’s earlier counterparts.
Both Square Enix and Disney own the Kingdom Hearts franchise. If Nintendo gives them permission to use Mario and their other characters, then they CAN make it multi-platform, unless one of the strings is that it has to be a pure Nintendo release.
Again, everyone calm down. This might not even be real. No need to insult people over an April Fool’s Joke.
Speaking of which, anyone happened to have digged deeper into this? I’ve been to busy myself to check, though I should.
Thank you! finally, someone has a brain in this conversation! “Teh” just explained everything for me. I’ll try to figure some more about this upcoming “game.” But as you said, it’s probably an April Fools joke………
i know its probably an april fools joke thats what sucks…cause the only thing i find when i search for this is this blog or whatever u wanna call it and why would i waste my time to put the paragraph i ype out in a word program..u know my typing sucks that bad. i mean i do use more then just 2 fingers but im slow and cant type with out looking at the keyboard. and nintendo would never give the rights for mario to be on another system. if it were to happen then i would be amazed but that would most likly never happen unless nintendo went out of business. as long as i live that will never happen ill make sure of it. you are correct about the ps3 being worhtless at the moment. but there coming out with a better version with a 80 gig harddrive and its suppose to be $100 dollars cheaper. I play all kinds of systems. i guess im more for nintendo cause that was the first system i ever played and i dont really care that much about graphics like most people are. i never know that chain of memories was made for the psp. that would be cool to have. if it was out in america.
OH and there just silly mistakes like commas and shit like that i dont realy care to be onest
I never said Chain of Memories was made for PSP…I said it had begun production BEFORE the PSP was, so they weren’t able to put it on that, since the GameBoy Advance was the only real handheld system around.
And there are other grammar problems. Little to capitalization, MANY misspelled words, run on sentences, fragmented sentences…I don’t like English either, but you shouldn’t sleep through it.
you have issues man just by pointing those out…just go a read a book this isnt the place for wierdos like you
Now you’re just being mean. I’m just looking out for the future of man kind…I’d rather have an educated workforce then a bunch of people who can’t use the English languange ruling the country in a decade or so.
No, Mario would be good and so would other nintendo characterts to be alongside Square Enix Characters And Disney characters, And some Others. but not in Kingdom Hearts.
I bet its fake but who knows if it will ever happen anyway.
ok, the new EGM is out. so, can someone tell me weither or not they tell u what he april fools joke was. usually they have it in the may issue but i have yet to find it. please leave the page number cause this is the only way to find out if it is a joke or not.
Well i can’t wait till it comes out like i have the first and second one and i finisht them, and im getting the 3.
Nooooooooooooo… It cant be a joke it just cant if it is i will be so pisst off so it better not be god it looks so kool i hope its true!!!!:(
Maybe if you were reading everyone elses comments you would have figured this out sooner, hart……
1) Can’t we all just get along?
2) If this is a joke, then they have wripped my heart out (lol, not really)
&3) Did you guys know there was a real, honest, true teaser trailer for KH3 out now? My friend found it on khinsider.org (or somthin) but i bet its on youtube
PS: 4)Please, dont correct my english or spelling. lol, just messin with you
Are you sure its a joke?
have luigi,wario as the 2 main allys. have other allys like yoshi,waluigi.
Now let me just say this… I KNOW for a fact this is just another EGM April Fools hoax (after all, they have one pretty much every year). But you have to admit, a Kingdom Hearts game including Nintendo characters would be pretty sweet and terrible at the same time. The pros are that characters like Link, Mario and Samus fit in pretty well (if not terribly) with FF characters like Cloud and Sephiroth (and to a certain extent, Disney characters). But the problem with this is not only how confusing this could make the storyline, but also how hard it would be to be to make the characters really fit in with the style of the game (not only are characters like Pikachu, Kirby and Mario more “innocent” than FF characters, but can you seriously say you’d really rather see Mario wield a Keyblade than someone cooler like Link?). It would be cool to see Nintendo and Square Enix work together to create something like this, but for now, let’s keep our fingers crossed.
P.S. EGM, if you’re reading this then give up the cruel (yet obvious) 4/1 jokes already!
Good god, guys, it’s a JOKE. Adding more series will only kill the epic awesome that is Kingdom Hearts.
k so ppl just to let u know that if another handheld game is made for the KH series it will probably be only for psp, bc the only reason it was put on nintendo’s handheld system was bc there was no other handheld system to put it on, plus the creaters havn’t decided yet weather they r making a KH3 yet ,and if they do the creater of Kingdom Hearts, Tetsuya Nomura, has already announced that he will no longer be making PS2 games, so in other words, if he makes any more games, they will be only for PS3…and they hav’t decided yet weather they r making a spin off from the KH series or weather they r just going to continue it, so… AND! THE KINGDOM HEARTS 3 COVER THAT HAS BEEN FLOATING AROUND IS A FAKE!!! ppl have looked at it and noticed flaws and also a resemblance to a previous game cover…
relli stupid it aint even gonna feature sora its either gonna b riku or roxas
sora isnt evn supposed to b in it coz its either gonna b riku or roxas
I think it would be cool if they had multi system and other characters.mdogg
I can see it now…
Sora: Donald?…Goofy?…Where the heck are we?
Donald: What a strange world.
Goofy: Ahuyuck!
*Mario pops up out of no where*
Mario: Mama-Mia!
man, this is sick! this would be freakin awesome if they made it! like, mario jumpin around, kickin some serious ass “I’M-A PISSED NOW BIATCHES-A!”
i bet theyed all eat shroom (high)
it could go either way i suppose i meen because look at all the ppl saying they want it to happen but the 41 thing does seem a little strange but if it did come out it would deff sell bunches(with lack of a better word)
Ok,it is a april fools joke and it aint gonna happen, But i disagree with Teh Evil Spork, dont know if their still posting here. But,true disney and SC own KH1, 2, Com,FM1, FM2, ect. ect. But look at other games, there are several games, one of the NBA stree ones for example, witch was released on multiple platforms. 2 of which were the PS2 and NGC(nintendo game cube) and on the NGC version, you could use mario, luigi, ect. ect. Disney and SC could release a Wii exclusive game.
Anyway. for those of you who are obsessed with certian consoles, each has their ups and downs, PS3 has its shitty backwards capability and easily overheats. X-Box has its easily reached ‘3 rings of death’ wich in some cases can be fixed, but usualy kills ur system. and the WII is lacking in number of games, is very hard to find,still, and Gitaur (srry for mis-spell) Hero 3 is impossible to find. but they all have flaws. KH3 is already CONFIRMED to be on PS3 and XBOX360, but i think if they released it on the WII, it would be sweet, because it would be like LOZ:TP where the remote controls sword, and certian movements make combos.
But god, if the MKH was real…. Imagine the Link and Sora Combos.
And when you think of it, you could probably easily switch the disney characters and main KH characters with nintendo characters
Mickey:Mario
Minnie:Peach
Sora:Link
Kiari:Zelda
Riku:Samus perhaps
Donald:Luigi
Goofy:
Pluto:Yoshi
Namine:Sheik?
Roxas:Shadow Link
Huey,Doey,and the other one:Faries (from LOZ)
Organization 13: Gannon, Bowser, Baby Bowser, Wario, Waluigi, Vaiti, pretty much any human like boss, and thats all i can think of. Realise thats compleatly off topic, but oh well
I think it would be pretty awesome if there really were a MKH. We’d be wacking heartless with the keyblade by wavin around the remote. Ha ha. Although, my arm might get sore after that. xD
KH3 is gonna be on PS3 and X-BOX 360!? Who’s gonna buy a $599 PS3 just to play one game, anyway?
Exactly!!! thats why its gonna be on X-Box 360, they saw the lack of sales and extended the contract to include Microsoft
dang u egm…. dang u. U crushed all the awesomeness this could have been. But maybe, just maybe we can get squeenix to make it. U know with some “friendly” persuasion. I guess “I’ll make them an offer they cant refuse.”
this was obviously fake look at soras keyblade
….duh!!
…I don’t see whts so bad about sora’s keyblade…
I love the idea that it be on Wii but Mario in it kinda scares me bc he is from a different game at a different time period so its soooo messed up to see Mario in it.
Plus….It was a Joke so im happy its not really going to be a game bc its scary to see mario in the game
well if it was made, it would be difficult determining who the main character would be, Mario or Sora, since almost all mario games like in the rpg sections you HAD to keep him and since Sora also has to be kept that only leaves one character to be optional (unless they do a final fantasy 6 and have four people per group) .
lol well im happy that it wont be sold plus like i said before, its a joke the game will not be sold
well even if it was made…why the hell would Nomura make Mario the main character…tht would mess up the whole story
lol yea
there is no mushroom kh becouse egm said it was a april fools month joke ”Search Results for “mushroom kingdom hearts” GAMES (0 results)”
GAMES (0 results)
well i know that but it would have promblems if it was a game
Still, Mario would be better to have on your team than Donald. Idiot keeps using all my items on himself. I can at least trust Goofy.
LOL yeah you can trust goofy and still mario will have better attack i bet
Any One who is reading this im telling you now that there is no Kh Mushrrom plus there will be 3 new KH games coming soon they are so cool yet they have there ups and downs one is for Ds one for PSP and one i think is for your phone but idk about that one yet. If you have a Ds and your a fan of KH get the game for Ds it is so so so cool it has roxas and Org. 13 in it its all about Org. 13 and Roxas and a mysterios new member of Org. 13 it rocks so check it out!
Gawd…
How to ruin both series at the same time. I swear if this is for real, then I know how bad these people are needing money and I’ll send them a check.
dont worry this is a fake its a Joke
