Secret of Mana
System: Super Nintendo
Developer: Square
Publisher: Square
Known at Seiken Densetsu 2 or Legend of the Sacred Sword 2 in Japan, this is an action role playing game with gameplay similar in style to Legend of Zelda Link to the Past. The story follows a young boy who pulls a sword from a stone and releases monsters into the world. He then has to take up a quest to power up the Mana sword to save the world. The game is fairly unique in that there are three characters that can each be controlled by a player using multitap. This three player RPG involves gameplay where players can switch between multiple weapons or casting various elemental magic.

#SPOILERS BELOW - Secret of Mana Gameplay Notes#
Let's play Secret of Mana! The episode begins with Matt naming the boy character "Axel Rose" after the stylish hairstyle bandana combo that the boy possesses. Axel was traveling with his "friends" fatso and dunce cap when passing a waterfall, Axel falls. Fatso and dunce cap fail to even attempt to stop him to falling to his doom and instead run home crying.
At the bottom of the waterfall, Axel wanders around concussed and dazed until he is stopped by thick grass. Looking around for something to mow the lawn with, he then draws the legendary mana sword from a stone. A bright light blinds him temporarily and he is visited by a spirit.
After mowing down the grass, he finds out that the world is now inhabited by monsters as he encounters a rabite. Slaying rabites along the way, Axel finally makes it to his village, Potos, to find the other children crying about his "accidental" death. The village elder is surprised to see the mana sword and curses him for drawing the sword and dooming them all. Fatso then decides to be a complete dick to Axel and starts shoving him around until the earth opens up and drops them in front of a mantis monster.
Axel uses the Mana Sword to slay the beast and is helped up by Jema who encourages the boy to meet him at the water temple. The village elder then banishes Axel from Potos forever.
On the way to the water temple, Axel comes across Dyluck and some soldiers who then leave to enter the haunted forest to confront a witch. Arriving at the water temple, Axel meets Luca a sage who explains that the mana sword needs to be powered up by the eight mana seeds because destiny has chosen him to save the world. Luca then gives him a spear after he seals the first seed and then sends him on his way.
Axel is promptly captured by goblins who plan to eat him. Fortunately, he is saved by a girl who runs away before she can give her name. Axel then heads to Pandora to look for the girl that rescued him.
