Item Description

A boy pulls a rusted sword from a stone near his village, and the world starts to come apart. That small moment launches Secret of Mana, Square's 1993 action RPG and, for many Super Nintendo owners, their introduction to the Mana series. Known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu 2, it traded menus and turn order for real-time combat right on the field, and it still feels remarkably fluid three decades later.

Randi, Primm and Popoi each bring something different to the party. Randi is the frontline fighter, Primm handles healing and support magic, and Popoi, a sprite child, wields attack spells. The famous ring menu lets you pause the action, spin through items, weapons and spells, and be back in the fight in seconds. Eight weapon types, from the sword and spear to the whip and bow, grow stronger as you forge them with weapon orbs, charged attacks reward patience, and magic drawn from the elemental spirits, among them Undine, Salamando and Sylphid, levels up with use.

Then there is the co-op. Secret of Mana let a second player, and with the Super Multitap accessory a third, drop in and take over a party member at almost any moment, turning a sweeping adventure into something friends could share on one couch. Soaring over the world on Flammie the dragon, with the map tilting and rolling beneath you, made a showpiece of the Super Nintendo's Mode 7 hardware, and fighting the Mana Fortress's forces with friends at your side is a memory a whole generation of players carries with them.

Hiroki Kikuta's soundtrack is the other half of its legacy. Pieces like “Fear of the Heavens,” “Into the Thick of It” and “A Wish” range from wistful to strange to triumphant, carrying the journey through forests, frozen lands, desert sands and ancient ruins. Several modern versions have followed, but the 16-bit original, with its painterly sprites and Kikuta's music pouring out of the Super Nintendo's sound chip, is the one people mean when they say Secret of Mana.

About the game

Initially released in Japan in 1993, Secret of Mana took the world by storm with its innovative real-time battle system and gorgeously rendered world. It continues to stand out among other action RPGs for its seamless gameplay that anyone from beginner to veteran can enjoy. One of the most memorable elements of the Mana series is the Ring Command menu system. With the single press of a button, a ring-shaped menu appears on the screen, where players can use items, change weapons, and do a variety of other actions without needing to switch screens. This Ring Command menu system for which the Mana series is so well known was first introduced in Secret of Mana and has since appeared in most games in the series. Play as Randi and his two companions, Primm and Popoi, as they adventure all around the world. At the center of our epic story is the mystical power of Mana. Battle the empire in its quest for control of Mana. Befriend the eight elementals who wield the forces of nature itself. Numerous encounters await at every turn.
