"Secret of Mana (\u8056\u5263\u4F1D\u8AAC2 Seiken Densetsu Ts\u016B, lit. \"Holy Sword Legend 2\"), is an action role-playing game developed and published by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was directed by Koichi Ishii and programmed by Nasir Gebelli. Secret of Mana is the second installment in the Mana video game series. This is the only Mana game released on the SNES outside Japan. Most players outside Japan were introduced to the series through this particular game. It was later re-released on the Wii Virtual Console, Apple's iOS, and Android. Rather than use the traditional turn-based battle system of games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Secret of Mana uses real-time battles akin to the Legend of Zelda series' games, but with a stamina bar mechanic, the statistical-based elements of the RPG genre, a unique \"ring menu\" system, and co-op multiplayer. With its brightly colored graphics, expansive plot, and soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta, Secret of Mana is considered an influential game of its time. The game's graphical style and overworld battles were adopted by Chrono Trigger. The stamina bar mechanic was later adopted by a number of action RPGs, including King's Field, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Nioh. The ring menu system was adopted by Temple of Elemental Evil, and the co-op multiplayer system was adopted by Dungeon Siege III."@en . . . "Square, Square Enix"@de . . . "SNES"@en . "7"^^ .

It is falsely considered sometimes as the first game in the popular Mana series, though this title actually goes to Final Fantasy Adventure, which was released prior to this game on the Game Boy."@en .

Exiled from his hometown for his crime against humanity, and with the help of a Girl and a Sprite, he sets out to stop The Empire that wants to seal away the power of mana and take over the world. Secret of Mana was promoted by Nintendo at the time of its release, featuring revolutionary gameplay features such as three players being able to control the game at once (taking the roles of the Boy, the Girl and the Sprite at the same time). If only one player is available, the game's AI will control the other characters. Secret of Mana was intended to launch on the SNES' CD add-on, but when that fell through, Squaresoft was left with a contractual obligation to make the game, but on the much smaller space of a cartridge instead of the CD-ROM they'd expected. They spent several months stripping the game down: removing large sections of the game-world, shortening the script, adjusting the game's plot, re-writing or removing a great deal of dialogue, and using compressed instruments and recomposing the music in an SPC format for the SNES. While this did have the side-effect of pushing the limit of the SNES's capabilities to the limit (making it much more aesthetically stunning than almost any other 16-bit game of the time), it also soured the relationship between the two companies, to the point that Square didn't work with Nintendo again for the greater part of a decade once the Play Station came out. Despite the rocky story of its creation, Secret of Mana is still to this day universally acclaimed as one of the Super Nintendo's crowning gems, and one of the best RPGs ever made for any console. Secret of Mana Theater is a well-known adaptation/affectionate parody of this game. Now on the iOS."@en . . . . "Secret of Mana"@de .
