Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2) is a 1993 Super Nintendo action-RPG following Randi, Primm, and Popoi on a quest to restore the Mana Tree. Created by Mana series father Koichi Ishii to fuse real-time action gameplay with RPG progression, distinguishing it from turn-based contemporaries. Square Enix describes Secret of Mana as 'by far the most popular title in the Mana series.' Its 2018 3D remake holds a 4.4/5 rating across 12,140+ PlayStation Store US user reviews, though critics/fans on Metacritic favored the 1993 SNES original over the 2018 remake. 16-bit design innovation: Unlike Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana introduced real-time combat, the radial Ring Command menu, and 3-player simultaneous co-op (via the SNES Super Multitap). Series Creator: Koichi Ishii; 1993 Composer: Hiroki Kikuta; 2018 Remake Producer: Masaru Oyamada.
