Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade V-Jump trial maps (lost promotional DLC of Game Boy Advance tactical role-playing game; 2002)
As part of a promotional competition pertaining to Fire Emblem: Champion's Sword between June and July 2002, Japanese shonen manga magazine V-Jump gave away special versions of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade that contained trial maps to select winners. These maps were "Graizel Execution Court", "V-Type Original Map", "J-Type Original Map", and "Defeat Bandits". The first map was based on a location exclusive to Champion's Sword. The second and third maps were shaped like the letters V and J respectively, hence their names. The last one, judging by its name, seems to involve taking on bandits. [1]
50 winners could get a cartridge containing "Graizel Execution Court", while 10 could get both the V-Type and J-Type maps. The highest-ranking winners could get the "Defeat Bandits" map. Due to the status of these maps, they are not present in the original game, and as mentioned above, were installed with the game's special cartridges instead.[2] These maps seem to use the XMAP data, which is a system that adds an additional sixth trial map from save data. [3]
So far, information regarding the promotional event is extremely scarce, and none of the special cartridges containing the special maps have been dumped online. It is currently unknown if they have survived in any way. All that's left of it is a single screenshot of the first map, as well as a magazine scan containing the second and third maps. The last one has no images available, so it is unknown as to what the map's layout actually looked like.
