[[File:Puzzle continent detailed.png|thumb|A map of the continent - showing the landscape from the bottom penninsula, pointing north]] | |||
The e-card sets, such as [[Aquapolis]] and [[Skyridge]] are constituted of four Japanese sets which included promotional material revealing the [[Puzzle Continent]] as their setting. Judging by the overall appearance and several other factors, such as geographical features and certain relics and motifs, the continent could be said to be an amalgamated {{wp|South America}}, which has either been condensed and rearranged, or not represented to scale on the map. Much of the continent seems to be centred around the {{wp|Andean States}}, as the map points north from what looks to be a small peninsula, potentially based on the {{wp|Tierra del Fuego}}. Material released on the topic does claim that the map is a work of imagination on the part of its creator. | The e-card sets, such as [[Aquapolis]] and [[Skyridge]] are constituted of four Japanese sets which included promotional material revealing the [[Puzzle Continent]] as their setting.

| Three striking {{wp|granite}} peaks | | Three striking {{wp|granite}} peaks jut out, known as Torres d'Agostini, Torres Central and Torres Monzino. These closely resemble the mountains used in the set - though the set is not always consistent in how they are depicted. The promotional art tends to emphasise the spire-like formation that seems to match the Torres del Paine. In addition, the several lakes, shown on the map below the peaks, is probably a reference to the similarly located lakes in the park, such as {{wp|Grey Lake}}, {{wp|Lake Pehoé}}, {{wp|Nordenskjöld Lake}}, and {{wp|Sarmiento Lake}}. These lakes are glacial, some with small {{wp|Icebergs}} floating in them - which further matches the promotional art. | ||
