Game History
Secret of Mana was developed by Square (now Square Enix) and released for the Super Famicom in Japan on August 6, 1993, followed by a North American SNES release in October 1994. The game was directed by Hiromichi Tanaka and produced by Yoichi Miyaji, building upon the success of the original Mana game released on Game Boy in 1991.
The game received strong critical acclaim upon launch, with reviewers praising its vibrant Mode 7 graphics, memorable Hiroki Kikuta soundtrack, and innovative real-time combat system that allowed up to three players to fight simultaneously via multitap. Major gaming publications of the era gave it scores in the 8-9 range. Commercially, it performed well in both Japan and North America, becoming one of the SNES's most celebrated role-playing games and helping establish Square's reputation during the 16-bit era.
Secret of Mana remains historically significant to collectors for several reasons. It is considered one of the finest action-RPGs on the SNES and represents a pinnacle of 16-bit Square game design. Original cartridges command premium prices in the collector market, with complete-in-box versions being particularly sought after. The game's influence on subsequent action-RPG design cannot be overstated, and it has maintained a devoted fanbase for three decades.
Interesting development details include the fact that Secret of Mana was originally conceived as Chrono Trigger's spiritual successor and shared some thematic DNA with that project. The three-player multiplayer feature was groundbreaking for RPGs at the time and required technical ingenuity to implement smoothly. The English localization, handled by Ted Woolsey, is noted for capturing the game's whimsical tone effectively, though some minor changes were made from the original Japanese script.
The game spawned a successful franchise and received a full 3D remake titled Secret of Mana in 2018 for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC, introducing the classic adventure to a new generation while reigniting collector interest in the original SNES cartridge.
