The Great White North sees snow all over the map in what appears to be a village up top. Players can make use of the height differences of house and mountains to get a good footing for defense or offense. Zen Peak looks set in an Asian area, with olden castles and temple structures. Boney Island appears almost prehistoric in that it’s set in the ridge-like area, with bone protrusions of what could be mammoths and other prehistoric animals.

Lunar Landing transports players into space, with spaceships and structures giving a more futuristic vibe. Sandy Sands brings players to the Egyptian side of the world, with tombs, pyramids and other mummified themes.
