The Maple World is a set of explorable continents. There are three main continents common to all versions in the Maple World: Maple Island, Victoria Island, and Ossyria. Victoria Island has eight towns and hunting areas - Ellinia, Nautilus Port, Henesys, Kerning City, Lith Harbor, Perion, and Sleepywood, plus a sub-region called Florina Beach. Ossyria has seven regions: El Nath Mts., Aqua Road, Ludus Lake, Minar Forest, Mu Lung Garden, Nihal Desert, and Temple of Time; and twelve towns - Orbis, El Nath, Aquarium, Ludibrium Castle, Omega Sector, Korean Folk Town, Leafre, Mu Lung, Herb Town, Ariant, Magatia, and Time Temple.
Additional continents and regions part of the World Tour that are found in some versions of the game include Zipangu (Japan), Dong Fang Shen Zhou (China), Formosa (Taiwan), Siam (Thailand) and Singapore (South East Asia). These are all based off a certain culture, and were formerly exclusive to their respective culture's version of the game.
In addition, there are two marriage towns - Peach Blossom Island and Amoria. At Peach Blossom Island (available in ChinaMS), players take part in traditional Chinese marriages. Amoria, (available in JapanMS, MapleSEA, TaiwanMS, KoreaMS, ThailandMS, and GlobalMS), hosts marriages based on western culture.
There are also event towns, such as Happyville and Shalom Temple, are only available during the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons, respectively. Coke Town is also an event town only found in KoreaMS. Shalom Temple is only available in GlobalMS, though.
Another area, Premium Road, accessible only from Internet cafes that have made contracts with the game, has been made available to KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS, ThailandMS, and MapleSEA.
Finally, Masteria, the newest continent currently accessible only in GlobalMS and TaiwanMS, has a theme of the past meets the present meets the future. Here you can find many plays on different cultures from around the world. Masteria currently has three towns: New Leaf City, Haunted House, and Crimsonwood Keep, though many future towns have been mentioned.
Maple Island has two main towns: Amherst and Southperry. In ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, HongKongMS, GlobalMS, EuropeMS and BrazilMS, there is also the Mushroom Town Training Camp. Other versions are expected to soon follow this change. However, JapanMS, the creator of the training camp, has removed it, and condensed Maple Island into only Southperry.

Victoria Island has a number of areas to explore. There are several towns, named Ellinia, Nautilus Port, Henesys, Kerning City, Lith Harbor, Perion, and Sleepywood. Also, the small island town of Florina Beach, an excavation site near Perion, and the event town Happyville are located on Victoria Island as well. Eons ago, Victoria Island and Ossyria were once connected, but over time have become separated. It was once completely ruled by a culture called the Sharenian, who built a lot of the deserted structures on the island, like the Temple of Golems near Henesys and the Sanctuary at the end of Sleepywood's Ant Tunnel. This culture collapsed mysteriously under the rule of Sharen III. The Guild Party Quest is based upon the rule of Sharen III.

Currently Ossyria is split into seven regions: El Nath Mts., Aqua Road, Ludus Lake, Minar Forest, Mu Lung Garden, Nihal Desert, and Temple of Time; and has twelve towns: Orbis, El Nath, Aquarium, Ludibrium Castle, Omega Sector, Korean Folk Town, Leafre, Mu Lung, Herb Town, Ariant, Magatia, and Time Temple.
To reach Ossyria, players must take a flying ship from the magician town of Ellinia. Depending on the current level of the player and the version of the game, the trip can cost anywhere from 3,000 to 80,000 Mesos. The ship departs every 15 minutes in most versions. However, would-be travelers must get into the waiting room of the ship one minute before departure time, shown on the dock. While in transit between Victoria Island and Ossyria, the Crimson Balrog boss may attack the ship. Lower level characters or those who do not wish to fight the Crimson Balrog should enter the cabin or risk being killed. An alternative method of transit to Ossyria is by using the Leafre-Ellinia portal, available if the player has a Magic Seed. This transport is instantaneous, but the only areas that can be accessed from Leafre are Orbis and Time Temple. In versions with Nautilus Port, a similar teleport system can be used to reach Omega Sector, which provides relatively easy access to Ludibrium and eventually the rest of Ossyria as well.

Originally, these continents were not a part of the main game. Each new continent was an expansion to each original versions. JapanMS was the first to expand their version with a continent called Zipangu. These additional continents reflect more on real world locations or real world things, with a few exceptions. At first, these new continents were to be exclusive maps for each version they originated from. Zipangu for JapanMS, China for ChinaMS, Formosa for TaiwanMS, Siam for ThailandMS. As of September 2006, the exclusive maps started to become accessible in other versions of MapleStory via a new NPC named Spinel the World Tour Guide.
For MapleSEA, Singapore has been released with two towns: CBD and Boat Quay Town. An expansion is expected at a later date to include a Malaysian-themed town. Singapore is currently not a World Tour map, as it is not accessible from Spinel the World Tour Guide, however it is often treated like one because of its basis on a real world location and culture.
In ChinaMS, the new area, Shaolin Monastery, has been released with the two towns, Mount Song Town and the Grand Hall of the Great Sage. It is accessible from a separate option from Shanghai Wai-tan from the World Tour NPC.
JapanMS has announced the release of their newest exclusive town, tentatively called Future Tokyo, but the name is all that is known for now.
