===World Tour===

[[File:MS World Tour Guide.jpg|right|thumb|World Tour Guide]]

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 [[MapleStory/Towns/Japan|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.  [[MapleStory/Towns/Japan|Zipangu]] for JapanMS, [[MapleStory/Towns/China|China]] for ChinaMS, [[MapleStory/Towns/Taiwan|Formosa]] for TaiwanMS,  [[MapleStory/Towns/Thailand|Siam]] for ThailandMS. As of September [[2006]], the exclusive maps started to become accessible in other versions of MapleStory via an NPC named Spinel the World Tour Guide.

===Masteria===

[[File:MS WorldMap Masteria.png|thumb|left|A regional map of Masteria, featuring New Leaf City and Crimsonwood Mountain.]]

Currently there are two towns located on this continent: [[MapleStory/New Leaf City|New Leaf City]] and [[MapleStory/Haunted House|Haunted House]]. The area of [[../Crimsonwood Keep|Crimsonwood Keep]] has been the most recent addition, though it does not (yet) sport a conventional town map. A fourth town, called Krakia, has been mentioned by NPCs in game. Many areas that will be expanded in the future can be seen, particularly Vineland, Affluent Tower, and a Sphinx which resembles a Yeti, appropriately named the Yetinx. Also there has been mention of a new world named Versal, with one NPC planning on opening a portal to that world. Many legends surround the island and its history. Stories range from immortal warriors and mad scientists to threats from outer space. According to new information, the continent, which was originally believed to have sunk into the ocean, was actually warped to another world, Versal. It was returned to the Maple World through a mysterious deal between the Mayor and an unknown person.

Currently, there is only one town in the past which is accessible: [[MapleStory/Ellin Forest|Ellin Forest]]. It is the past version of Ellinia's forest on Victoria Island.
