Pete appears as a recurring villain within the [[Kingdom Hearts|''Kingdom Hearts'' video game series]]. He was originally a steamboat captain, with Mickey Mouse as his deck hand (as they were seen in ''[[Steamboat Willie]]''), and later the captain of the Royal Musketeers until his plans for a coup were foiled by Mickey (as they were seen in ''The Three Musketeers''). After Disney Castle was built, Pete began causing mischief until he was defeated by [[Terra (Kingdom Hearts)|Terra]], [[Aqua (Kingdom Hearts)|Aqua]], and [[Ventus (Kingdom Hearts)|Ventus]] and banished to another dimension by [[Minnie Mouse]]. He was subsequently freed by [[Maleficent]], to whom he became indebted, and vowed to amass an army of [[Heartless (Kingdom Hearts)|Heartless]] to return the favor.

* Pete makes several appearances in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', where he is gathering Heartless for Maleficent. He is first seen exploring [[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Agrabah]] in search of [[Jafar (Aladdin)|Jafar]]'s magic lamp, but is secretly followed by [[Roxas (Kingdom Hearts)|Roxas]] and [[Axel (Kingdom Hearts)|Axel]], who are collecting hearts for [[Organization XIII]]. Pete uncovers a secret passage leading outside the city, inadvertently leading Roxas to the Cave of Wonders. Roxas later returns with [[Xion (Kingdom Hearts)|Xion]] to investigate the cave, but the two are spotted by Pete, who assumes they had come to take the lamp and fights them. After Pete is defeated, he escapes. Pete reappears in [[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Never Land]], where he plants empty treasure chests across the island and sells maps leading to them to [[Captain Hook]], knowing his greed will attract Heartless for him to collect. However, his plans are once again foiled when Roxas slays the Heartless to collect their hearts. Pete leads Hook to a final, gold-filled chest, which reacts to the darkness in Hook's heart and becomes a Heartless that Roxas defeats. Pete disappears, vowing revenge against Roxas if they ever meet again.
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Pete encounters [[Sora (Kingdom Hearts)|Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] outside [[Yen Sid]]'s tower and is disappointed to learn that they had previously defeated Maleficent while he was gathering Heartless. However, Maleficent is soon resurrected, and Pete continues his duties after updating her on what occurred in her absence, traveling to other worlds to recruit villains to join their cause turn them into Heartless, but is foiled by Sora and co. each time. Pete often incurs Maleficent's relentless annoyance and insults for his ineptness, despite his loyalty to her. After one such incident, Pete's yearning for going back in time to experience his wonder years as a steamboat captain summons a portal to the [[Timeless River]] world, which gives him the opportunity to put himself back in Maleficent's good graces. He goes back in time to steal his younger self's steamboat and alter the past to Maleficent's liking, but is defeated again by Sora and co., who have allied with the younger Pete. However, Pete once again proves his worth when he brings Maleficent to the Castle That Never Was, the headquarters of Organization XIII, for them to use as a new base of operations, though he is aware that the Heartless will be unruly in this realm. Pete contemplates running when the castle is overrun with Heartless, but decides to stand by Maleficent's side to hold them off and help Sora and his friends defeat Organization XIII, though the castle is destroyed.
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Coded]]'', Pete is transported to the Datascape, where he assists in Maleficent's scheme to take over the virtual world and enslaves [[Riku (Kingdom Hearts)|Riku]] with [[computer bugs]]. He is later confronted at Hollow Bastion, where he sends Riku to attack Sora. Sora attempts to rescue Pete and Maleficent from Heartless before they are crushed. However, Riku is able to rescue them and escort the villains back to their world.
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Pete and Maleficent take Minnie hostage and send a letter to Mickey, bringing them to a confrontation in the library of the castle. After Maleficent explains her past meeting with [[Xehanort]], they demand that the Data Worlds be handed over to them. However, Pete loses Minnie when [[Lea (Kingdom Hearts)|Lea]] arrives and scares him. Sora and Riku also battle another past incarnation of Pete from his time as the captain of Minnie's Royal Musketeers. He schemes to overthrow Minnie and become King, but is foiled by Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Sora, and Riku.
* Pete and Maleficent return in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', where they seek the mysterious black box left behind by the [[Keyblade]] Master [[Luxu (Kingdom Hearts)|Luxu]]. In the game's [[post-credits scene]], the two witness [[Xigbar]], Luxu's current incarnation, meet with the [[Characters of Kingdom Hearts#Foretellers|Foretellers]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frank |first=Allegra |date=January 29, 2019 |title=What’s going on in Kingdom Hearts 3's epilogue? |url=https://www.polygon.com/2019/1/29/18202077/kingdom-hearts-3-ending-secret-epilogue-explained-how-to-watch |access-date=April 13, 2025 |website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
