	[[Treasure map]]s are by far the most sought after item in Tag Mode. Since treasure maps are randomly generated from out of 8 million possible layouts, finding rare and rewarding ones with great treasures or monsters that yield high experience values is hard to come by. As a result, good maps are extremely popular items to be traded while in Tag Mode. One particular map, known by fans as Masayuki's Map in honor of the person who discovered it, had a dungeon whose 15th floor was exclusively populated by Metal King Slimes; it became so popular that it was shared across much of Japan.
