Master Quest
DLC only map that contain bonus 8-bit weapon skins, heart containers, heart pieces, and palette-swapped costumes for all characters. Contains the second and third level weapons for Cia, Volga, and Wizzro.

The Master Quest map also comes with a series of additional rules that apply to specific squares:
 * Speed Run: Players must complete the stage in under 15:00.
 * No Healing: Players are unable to use potions or find hearts during battle. Leveling up will not heal players fully as it usually does.
 * No Guarding: Players will always have their guard broken by all attacks.
 * No Item Attacks: Players are unable to use their attack items, such as the bombs, during battle.
 * Don't Get Hit!: Players get reduced to only 1/4th their final heart upon getting hit. This results in players dying from two consecutive hits regardless of character level or heart count.

Twilight
DLC only map that contain bonus 8-bit weapon skins, recolor-costumes, heart containers, and heart pieces.

The Twilight map also has additional rules that apply to squares shrouded in Twilight:


 * No Special Attacks: Defeating enemies will not fill the Special gauge, and no Force Fragments will appear.
 * No Focus Spirit: Magic Jars will not appear, leaving players unable to fill their Magic gauge.
 * No Item Attacks: Players are unable to use attack items like bombs or arrows during battle.

Additionally, map squares enveloped in Twilight will obscure the view of enemies on the battlefield map. The Tears of Light card is required in order to remove them.
