Map Card

Room Synthesis Screen. Cards shown are Moment's Reprieve and Key of Beginnings.

Map Cards are cards used to open the rooms contained within the various worlds in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

There are four varieties of Map Cards and each type of Map Card synthesizes/creates a different type of room. Additionally, each card that is received is randomly numbered from 0 to 9. To open a door to a room, Map Cards must be matched to the number on the door and/or meet other special card requirements as stated by the door. Like all other 0 cards that can be used in the game, 0 value Map Cards function as 'break' cards, meaning that if no other card of a required value is available in the stockpile, a 0 numbered Map Card can be used to 'break' the door, which consequently resets the counter to start back at 1 for all following doors.

Keycards

Cards used to unlock Special Rooms. These map cards are gold in color. In Re:Chain of Memories, they are indicated by a yellow exclamation mark, stressing their importance in continuing the story.

A Keycard must be drawn together with the required number of Map Cards, as well as the required colors (e.g. R35, B30, G35 - this means that several map cards need to be drawn out, until the red cards total up to 35, the blue cards total up to 30 and the green cards total up to 35). Cards numbered 0 and Random Jokers cannot be used for unlocking.

Special Rooms

Unknown Room

This is the room you always begin with when you begin exploring any world. It can be left as it is, or, like any other room, it can be changed.

Conqueror's Respite

This room is only accessible after defeating the boss of any particular world. It is usually situated at the exit. There are no Heartless in this room, and there is a very high ladder leading to a save point. In Sora's story, Sora is directly transported to Conqueror's Respite after defeating the boss of each level. In Riku's story (Reverse/Rebirth), however, Riku is transported back to the room where he was before engaging into the boss battle, and he is required to go to Conqueror's Respite himself.

Unlike the Unknown Room, the Conqueror's Respite is temporary, and will be erased once Sora or Riku accesses the next level.

Room of Rewards

The Room of Rewards in each world contains a treasure chest with a specific card or sleight the first time it is opened. A Room of Rewards starts off with a reward from set 1, and if you have a completed Sora's Story save file on your memory card, it will also contain a second treasure chest with a reward from set 2. Once the world's unique treasure has been obtained, a Room of Rewards will operate like a Calm Bounty room (in Re:Chain of Memories, this room disappears from the map once the treasure has been obtained).
